Adrian goes 5-0 on the season after defeating Rich Hill 58-12 on Friday, September 24. The Blackhawks hit the road on Friday, September 28 to play the Archie Whirlwinds.

Coach Cochran Comments on the game:
Comments:

This was a good win for us. We tried to do some different things offensively in the first half. We needed to work on a few things. We went back to what we do in the second half. Offensively, I was pretty happy with our effort. We just need to work on our passing game. Defensively, we were again very good except for two plays. Their RB is one of the fastest, if not the fastest kid, in the state at our level.

If he gets out in the open, you aren't going to catch him. Fortunately, that only happened once. Overall, we played well. The rest of our regular season schedule isn't easy. Every team we play will be tough. We have to focus on Archie this week. It's a road game for us, and they will give us their best game. They always do.

Every time we've played them in recent memory it has been a TD or less game. We have to go in focused and ready. A big crowd would be a huge plus for us.
