The Eagles led 26-0 after the first quarter. 

Zack Lynch had another big night for the Eagles' offense, scoring two touchdowns.

Will Jandrin added more for Southern Door, catching a pass from Daoust for an 87-yard touchdown, cementing the Eagles' lead going into the half. 

Oconto finally got on the board late in the game by Kyle Bowman after a 15-yard scamper.
