The Eagles got it done in all three phases of the game. On offense, Chadron gained 330 total yards, with 221 passing yards and 109 rushing yards. Nearly half of the yards were the result of Devon Sundgren’s big night, as he racked up 144 yards on 3 receptions. One of Sundgren’s receptions was an 88 yard touchdown pass from Aidan Thompson, which gave Sundgren the opportunity to show off his impressive speed.

Junior LB Jarred Marquez led the Eagles’ defense with 7 solo tackles and 4 assisted tackles.
