Round 2: Aquin vs Stockton

Stockton - For all the success that these two conference rivals have had throughout the years, they were only meeting up for the 4th time in the playoffs. Ironically, all those match-ups have come in the 2nd round, and Aquin has won them all. After meeting in week 2, where Aquin won 40-22 convincingly, there was something about this game that had the feeling it was going to be a good one. The Blackhawks would strike first with 6:02 to play in the 1st quarter as Jason Hermann

Round 1: Stockton vs Princeville

Princeville - In a very interesting matchup in round 1, the 11th ranked Blackhawks traveled to #6 Princeville. Looking at the seeds, one might think that the Princes had the upper hand. When one breaks down the numbers on opponents, this looks like a game that favors the lesser seed. On Saturday in Princeville you knew it would be a good game, as Princeville was meeting with its 4th NUIC opponent in the past 4 seasons. Traditionally a power run team in a wing and double wing

Both teams combine for over 1,100 wins, which ranks them 1 and 2 all-time in conference history. The Blackhawks would slowly take control of the game, as they put away the Pirates 26-0 to improve to 3-1. After a scoreless 1st quarter, the Hawks would score with 5:43 left in

Week 2 : Aquin vs Stockton

Freeport - In a game that featured former conference rivals now meeting up in a crossover match, the Aquin Bulldogs would play host to the Stockton Blackhawks in a great night for football at Conley Field. Stockton has owned the Bulldogs in the regular season, covering the majority of the last decade. Entering 2019, with a new look by both teams, you had a feeling this game could tip in the favor of the host Bulldogs, and it did rather early. Aquin would open the game with th
