DARBY - The Seeley-Swan Blackhawks hit the road to take on the Darby Tigers Aug. 24 and came home with a win.
"The final score of 27 to 6 does not accurately reflect how well our boys dominated that game," said Blackhawks Head Coach Ryan Sokoloski.
Defensively the Blackhawks shut down the Tigers including a pile of sacks. They only allowed one touch down on a punt return.
On the offense Nate Samuli rushed for 164 of the team's 302 yards. Hunter Shelmerdine ran 80 yards including a 2-yard touchdown. Samuli scored on a fake punt from 48 yards out. Hunter Sokoloski also scored a touchdown.
Coach Sokoloski said the offensive line did phenomenal with James Webb at the center.
On special teams, Dakota Wood returned a Tiger kickoff 60 yards for a touch down.
Coach Sokoloski is looking forward to this season. He said the team has been building confidence since the 2016 season. The issue of smoke overshadowed the 2017 season but boys are back in shape and ready to go.
Coach Sokoloski said the athletes have great attitudes and are very positive this year.
The Blackhawks host Plains Aug. 31 with a 7 p.m. kickoff.
