A back-and-forth fourth quarter set the stage for Lance Veeser's heroics in a 17-14 Southern Door victory over Shiocton Friday night in Brussels.
The two teams exchanged turnovers and stunted drives before Caleb Delwiche found Lauden Berg on a deep route late in the first quarter, putting the Eagles ahead 7-0. It would stay that way until late in the third quarter, the Chiefs' Kyle Bergsbaken scampered in from six yards out to bring his team to within one point. The Eagles would extend their lead two drives later, capitalizing on a Landon Vandertie interception with a touchdown run from Damontrae Meeks to make it 14-6 midway through the fourth quarter.
On the next drive, Bergsbaken engineered a game-tying drive set up on a long touchdown pass to Brodey Sleets with less than three minutes left. With just seconds left in the game, Lance Veeser put the Eagles ahead with a 28-yard field goal.
The Chiefs had one last chance to force overtime, but the game ended on Berg's second interception to give the Eagles their first win.
The Eagles are back in action next Friday night when they travel to Bonduel to face the Bears. U-102.1 will carry the game beginning at 6:45 p.m. with the pregame show followed by the call of the game with Jacob Nate at 7 p.m.
