The 2024 postseason began at John C. Mulrooney Stadium last Friday night for the number one seed Prairie du Chien Blackhawks and the Hawks began the postseason much like how they finished the regular season - in dominating fashion.
The Hawks used a 35-point first quarter to stun a visiting Southwestern/East Dubuque (IL) WarCats program making its postseason debut as a co-op. PdC would add a touchdown in the second and third quarters to extend their lead to 48-0, which would be the final score.
