BALDWIN, WI – The Baldwin-Woodville Blackhawks secured at least a share of the Middle Border Conference title with a 41-30 victory over the Prescott Cardinals on October 11, 2024, during Senior and Parent Night at King Field. The Blackhawks recognized their seniors and parents before the final regular-season game at home.
Baldwin-Woodville kicked off to open the game and immediately took control. On the first three plays, the Blackhawk defense made their presence known, with defensive lineman Sam Aho recording a sack and defensive end Andrew Thompson following up with a tackle-for-loss. Prescott faced third-and-22 from their own 19-yard line, and under defensive pressure, the Cardinals fumbled, forcing a fourth-and-26 punt. The Blackhawks took over at the Prescott 38-yard line and capitalized with a nine-yard quarterback keeper by Gavin Sell for the game’s first touchdown. The 2-point conversion was no good, B-W 6-0.
Prescott punted on their next possession, while Baldwin-Woodville struggled on their following drive, including a fumble on a reverse toss that set the Blackhawks back. Despite the offensive setbacks, Baldwin-Woodville’s defense continued to hold strong. Shortly before the end of the first quarter, Dane “Train” Veenendall scored on a 30-yard rushing touchdown, followed by a successful 2-point conversion pass from Sell to Veenendall, B-W 14-0. The first quarter saw a flurry of penalties on both sides, disrupting the pace of each team’s up-tempo offenses.
