Game Day: Junior Blue Dukes 18, Cedarburg 7

In a bruising battle at Lubar Stadium in scenic Whitefish Bay, the Junior Blue Dukes 5th grade team defeated the Cedarburg Colts, 18-7.

Cedarburg's wedge formation and sleight-of-hand on offense challenged the Blue Dukes defense, but the hometown boys lived up to their reputation for mental toughness.

Macklin Kortebein scored two touchdowns and Ryan Hummer added the dagger on a long naked bootleg (great play call, coaches).

A Game Day crew note: Special thanks to Wes Bassindale, Van's brother, who has helped us out with the music for our two home games. We're grateful for what you're doing for us, Wes.
