Blackhawks fall to Bulldogs

SEELEY LAKE – The Blackhawks hosted the Mission Bulldogs Oct. 1 and suffered their second loss of the season. Their record is now 3-2.

The Blackhawks were down 0-12 early after allowing a pair of touchdowns in the first quarter but put up a good fight the second quarter.

Owen Hoag pushed his way in for a 1-yard touchdown to put up the Blackhawks' first points early in the second quarter. Walker McDonald made the extra points good to bring the score up to 8-12.

The teams battled back and fourth taking several minutes off the clock before the Bulldogs scored their second touchdown of the quarter. The Blackhawks answered back with a 16-yard touchdown from Ben Haley.

Just as the game was looking to be a close one, the Blackhawks' luck ran out. The Bulldogs returned the Blackhawks' onside kick to mid field and the Bulldogs were back in the end zone a couple plays later making it 14-28. With just over a minute to play in the half, the Blackhawks started working their way down the field but after a couple of completed passes the Bulldogs picked off a pass and returned it to inside the 20-yard line. They took it in for another touchdown on the next play.

The Blackhawks trailed 14-36 heading into half time.

The second half was all Bulldogs as they put in a pair of unanswered touchdowns in the third quarter and three more touchdowns in the final quarter burying the Blackhawks 14-68.

This week the Blackhawks head to Superior Oct. 8 to take on the Clark Fork Coop who also has a 3-2 record. Kickoff is at 7 p.m.
