Before tonight's game, RJ Brunkow's sons Bo and Tyler accepted an honorary plaque on behalf of their Dad. Anyone who came up the ranks through Darlington's 7th/8th grade football program in recent years knows the huge impact RJ Brunkow has had on Redbird football. Thank you, RJ!
FINAL SCORE: An unstoppable Darlington Redbirds handled a talented Cuba City Cubans 38-7 despite Darlington missing two top starters. Darlington's defense was absolutely stifling. Darlington advances to WIAA Football Playoffs Level 4.

Darlington parents outdid themselves this year! When you drive out of town to Camp Randall to support our Redbirds, make sure you check out the fantastic signage along the way! Thank you, parents, not just for the signs, but for all that you do to raise strong Redbirds!
These guys don't get enough credit—THE CHAIN GANG! They do a great job. We appreciate you, chain gang! If you see Tom Wonders, Ron Ingwell, Kenny Staver, or Ron Schwartz, tell them thank you!
Jets sign Alex Erickson!!! We are so happy for Alex and family! Now we'll be rooting for the Jets AND the Packers! If they end up facing each other in the Super Bowl, we'll worry about that when the time comes! Go Jets! Go Alex!
For our players on the field, for our Redbirds up above, get out and show your love! For all the parents, coaches, cheerleaders, and fans, let's pack the stands! Show up and show your support tonight! Be proud! BE LOUD!!! Help the Redbirds keep this season rolling!

If there's a "play of the game," this would have to be one of the top choices. Did you see Easton Evenstad haul in this catch one handed? This LOOOOONG pass set up a touchdown and was key to Darlington gaining momentum in the game.

Reagan Jackson masterfully popped the ball loose while tackling the Pointers' Landon Thousand—one of multiple defensive plays by Darlington that may very well have saved the game for the Redbirds.
