After another long bus ride, the Chippewa Falls Cardinals (3-4, 2-3 Big Rivers Conference) again started out hot, scoring the game's first fourteen points to silence the Homecoming crowd at Stiehm Stadium.
The Evergreens (4-3, 4-1 Wisconsin Valley Conference), who had won four straight games, responded with two long scoring drives to come within a touchdown at the half, but couldn't get out of their own way with penalties and turnovers. After the break, Chi-Hi defense pitched a second half shutout as the Cards kept themselves in the playoff hunt
For a second straight week, senior RB/WR Jaylyn Smith tallied a hat trick of touchdowns, scoring twice on the ground and a third time on a TD reception, while also picking off a pass on defense.
