Rhett Koenig had 112 rushing yards and a score for the Blackhawks, while Ty Wagner finished the night with 131 yards on 16 totes. Kurt Wall added 59 yards and a score. Prairie du Chien QB Maddox Cejka was just 2-for-11 passing for 13 yards.

Prairie du Chien moves on to the state semifinal to face Mayville at McFarland on Nov. 11. The winner of that matchup will face either Aquinas or Kewaunee in the Division 5 state title game Nov. 17 at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison.
