In the fourth quarter, Ian Peck, senior defensive lineman, intercepted the ball and ran it in for a touchdown.
The final score was 13-3.
‘The defense did a nice job and played a good game,? said Blackhawks Varsity Coach Tim Pizzala.
‘We are still working on things as a team. We’re fairly young as a group, but we’re excited for the season. I have high expectations.?
Pizzala said the team’s goal is to improve every year, learn the game and get better at what they do.
