BALDWIN, WI – The Baldwin-Woodville (B-W) Blackhawks dominated the Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau Redhawks (G-E-T) in a decisive 55-0 shutout victory on August 30, 2024, at King Field. The Week 2 non-conference matchup against the Redhawks, of the Coulee Conference, was a complete team effort, with key contributions from every area of the roster.

Baldwin-Woodville kicked off to G-E-T to start the game. The Redhawks struggled to move the ball throughout the night and frequently had difficulty getting plays off in time, resulting in delay of game penalties and forcing G-E-T to burn timeouts to avoid additional penalties. The Redhawks punted on their first possession.

Baldwin-Woodville started at the G-E-T 40-yard line and went to work with their signature up-tempo offense, however quickly reached a fourth-and-four situation, but a quarterback keeper by Gavin Sell resulted in a 34-yard touchdown run, and Wes Chapin’s extra point was good, B-W 7-0. The Blackhawk defense held G-E-T to another punt setting up the Baldwin-Woodville offense at the G-E-T 29-yard line. Sell added another QB keeper touchdown, followed by a successful 2-point conversion, B-W 15-0.
