Looking to win two in a row and drastically increase their odds of punching a ticket to the playoffs, the Chippewa Falls Cardinals (5-2, 3-2 Big Rivers Conference) came out of the gate hot against the Evergreens (5-2, 4-1 Wisconsin Valley Conference), who were winners of five straight coming into the game.
After a dominant first quarter by the Cards, DC Everest punched back, but a score with seconds left in the half helped bring momentum back to Chi-Hi's side. After the break the teams traded turnovers, and then the Evergreens started to find their groove offensively, but the Cards never surrendered their lead, holding on for a thrilling home win.
Senior RB/DB Jackson LeMay ran for a 75 yard touchdown, returned a kick 92 yards for a score, and notched an interception, while senior LB/FB Drake Daken ran hard, including a 40 yard TD, and was all over the field on defense, as was senior S Jackson Bohland, who picked off a pass, ran for a score, and caught another.
