The defense also made multiple big plays during the game, including three of the five interceptions caught by Tyler  Kroll.

The Southern Door Eagles could not get their running game going and could not stop Coleman’s in a 44-0 defeat Friday night on 102.1 MORE FM. The Cougars defense kept Nick Baudhuin and the Eagles in check for most of the game outside of a 55 -yard passing play by Alex Daoust in the game’s opening minutes. Stopping that drive inside their own red zone propelled the Cougars on their first drive, which was capped off by a touchdown run by quarterback Cayden Bintz. In the second quarter, Bintz and Zach Cops would score on touchdowns from inside the 10-yard line to make it 24-0 at the half. Owen Kinziger and Tyler Blanchard would add third-quarter scores before Zach Cops added his second touchdown of the game in the closing minutes. The Eagles return to action next Friday for its homecoming football game showdown against Oconto. That game can be heard on 102.1 MORE FM beginning at 6:30 p.m. followed by kickoff at 7 p.m.

The Eagles take flight again traveling to Coleman for Week Four action. Southern Door is trying for an encore after last week's record-breaking performance by Nick Baudhuin. Number five put up an eye-popping 403 yards on the ground with six touchdowns. The Eagles are 1-2 on the season but believe they have found their groove. The Coleman Cougars have an identical record with their last outing being a 21-18 defeat at Kewaunee. You can hear the game on More FM 102.1 starting at 6:30 with the Door County Medical Center Pregame Show. Kickoff is at 7 PM.

He may have not known before walking off the field last Friday where he would be in Southern Door football lore, but junior Nick Baudhuin is not a stranger to the running backs that came before him. Baudhuin broke the school’s single-game rushing yards record and tied another for rushing touchdowns in a game against Crivitz when he galloped for 403 yards on 37 carries and six scores. The man who owned the record he broke, former NFL lineman Jim Flanigan, has his jersey hanging in Southern Door’s weight room. Baudhuin also struck up friendships with former Eagles players that also dominated the position, including current Minnesota walk-on Derik LeCaptain. After the game, Baudhuin says he gave the credit to the guys ahead of him.

Also competing in basketball and track at Southern Door, Baudhuin says his favorite subject in school is science and has not yet thought of what he wants to do after high school. Southern Door’s next game is this Friday against Coleman.

Running back Nick Baudhuin had a career night for the Eagles. The junior running back had 28 rushes for 392yds, a new school record, and scored all 6 touchdowns for Southern Door which tied the school record.

The Wolverines were able to answer in the second quarter, scoring on a 16yd pass from QB Jaden Werner to WR Dawson Andrist; Wolverines converted a 2pt conversion to take an 8-7 lead. The Eagles did not let that lead last long though, going ahead 13-8 on a 7yd touchdown run by Baudhuin. Baudhuin would add another 13yd touchdown which gave the Eagles a 19-8 lead but the Wolverines would not go away easy. Crivitz scored with about 30 seconds left in the first half cutting the lead to 19-14.
In the second half though it was all Nick Baudhuin; the Eagles running back added 3 more scores from 31, 38, and 1yd respectively. The Eagles defense was just as good; they held the Wolverines offense to only 160yds as a whole.
