Little Chute 30, Freedom 21
Things started off strong for the Irish. Brody Bazile picked off Devin Plate to set up a Dakota Brockman score. Little Chute answered with a field goal. Brody Bazile’s night wouldnt be finished. On the next Freedom drive, he busted open a 55-yard touchdown run to give the Irish the 14-3 lead.
Little Chute would find the endzone before the break. Plate connected with his favorite target Kyle Hietpas from 20 yards out to pull within four.
Before the half, Little Chute had been set up first and goal, however Plate would be picked off in the endzone, again by Bazile, to swing momentum.
Freedom’s opening second half possession was capped off with Brody Bazile punching it in from 3 yards out. That would be all of scoring for Freedom, as the Little Chute offense, and defense would step up.
Plate found Hietpas again for a score, this time for 26 yards and it was followed by their first lead on a Charlie Hietpas touchdown run.
With Freedom trailing, their game-winning drive was cut short when Charlie Jadin was intercepted and returned to the 2 yard line. Plate would call his own number for the games final score.
Plate finished 14 of 28 for 217 yards, two touchdowns, and two picks, and Little Chute is now 10-0 when he throws for at least one touchdown. Kyle Hietpas led the receiving core with 4 catches, good for 68 yards.
Freedoms Charlie Jadin was limited all night, throwing 7 of 18 for 80 yards and an interception. Brody Bazile shined offensively and defensively for the Irish. He finished with 132 yards on 21 carries, two touchdowns, and two defensive interceptions.
