On the first play after fumble recovery, Austin Messmer scored on 85 yard run.  Later in 2nd quarter Austin Messmer ran in another TD from 33 yards out.  Right before halftime, Joe Davis hit Tyler Krueger on a 63 yard TD pass to put the Blackhawks up 30-0 at halftime. Mid-way through 3rd quarter Austin Messmer scored again a 4 yard run.  Platte-Geddes/Dakota Christian put up their only points of the night with 30 seconds left in the game.  Austin Messmer led the offense with 175 rush yards on 15 carries.  Joe Davis was 4 of 5 passing for 109 yards and 2 TDs.  Jacob Fouberg led the defense with 12 tackles.  This Friday the Blackhawks travel to Hitchcock to take on Hitchcock-Tulare for a 7:00 pm game.
