OSCEOLA, WI – The Baldwin-Woodville Blackhawks claimed another win in commanding fashion, 40-7, over the Osceola Chieftains on October 4, 2024, at Robert W Vesperman Field. With the victory, Dan Keefer earned his 100th career win as head coach of the Blackhawks.
Baldwin-Woodville kicked off to begin the game. Osceola began near their own 30-yardline and kept the ball on the ground with rushing attempts and their option offense. Approaching midfield, and a fourth-and-1 situation, the Chieftains went for it but were stopped when linebacker Gavin Sell sacked Osceola’s quarterback forcing a fumble which the Blackhawks recovered.
Baldwin-Woodville took over, alternating Sell and Graiden Moniken at the QB position. The Blackhawk offense struggled at first, suffering a fumble; which B-W recovered losing yards; and penalties. Baldwin-Woodville quickly reached fourth-and-19 and went for it on a reverse and pass that landed in the hands of Dane “Train” Veenendall. Osceola’s defense was not prepared for the trick-play resulting in a would have been Blackhawk touchdown, however a holding penalty on the Blackhawks nullified the score. Baldwin-Woodville, again on fourth down, went for it but fell short turning the ball over on downs to the Chieftains.
