The Junior Blue Dukes defense pressured Mequon-Thiensville into two interceptions Saturday as the Bay squad rolled to a 20-0 victory at Lubar Stadium.
After a scoreless first quarter, Bay got on the board with a Van Bassindale TD run. Then the Blue Dukes cranked up the pressure: Teddy Weber, Macklin Kortebein, Bassindale, Will Alt and Nick Higgins all tackled Mequon-Thiensville ball carriers behind the line of scrimmage.
A long interception return by Anthony Enea paved the way for a second Bassindale TD run. Jake Fisher passed to Bailey Weiland for the extra point.
After a sluggish third quarter marred by penalties, the Junior Blue Dukes closed out the scoring in the 4th quarter when Fisher intercepted a pass at the 40 and returned it 60 yards for a TD. For the extra point, the Blue Dukes faked a kick. Fisher passed to Zach Casey, who muscled his way into the end zone for the point.
Mequon-Thiensville drove for a possible consolation score at the end of the game, but tackles for loss by Charlie Cohen and Alec Lindfors gave the defense its second clean sheet of the season.
