The South/North eighth grade football team completed its undefeated season by destroying McDonald County 31-0 Thursday.
Mac County came into the game with what it thought was the biggest and best line in middle school football, but were pounded all night long by the Eagles front five, made up of Jared Baker, Tucker Wallace, Jake Hardy, Abe Hueller and Cheslie Cook.
Adam St. Peter started the scoring with a touchdown run on the Eagles' first possession. He later scored again to bring his season total to 17 touchdowns.
Tyler Russell scored on a 45-yard Y-reverse and then again on a dazzling, over-the-shoulder catch in the end zone on a Gabe Sachetta pass.
The Eagles' scoring was completed when Josh Stewart slashed into the end zone in the fourth quarter.
The 6-0 record marked the first time a South football team went undefeated since the 1975 season when the team finished 5-0.
