BALDWIN, WI – The Baldwin-Woodville Blackhawks celebrated Homecoming with a commanding 41-6 win over the Altoona Railroaders on Sept. 27, 2024, at King Field. Baldwin-Woodville controlled the game, holding Altoona scoreless through three quarters of play.

Baldwin-Woodville kicked off to open play. Altoona, running their option style offense primarily on the ground, struggled to find traction against the Blackhawk defense. Facing fourth-and-11, the Railroaders elected to go for it, but their passing attempt fell incomplete, turning the ball over on downs. The lengthy drive consumed much of the first quarter. Baldwin-Woodville took possession at the Altoona 27-yardline.

The Blackhawks alternated between Gavin Sell and Graiden Moniken at the quarterback position throughout the first half. Sell found wide receiver Brody Everts with under 5-minutes remaining in the first quarter on a 19-yard touchdown pass. The 2-point conversion was no-good, B-W 6-0. Altoona punted on their next possession to end the first quarter.
