road game.

After being physically overmatched by a senior-dominated Auburndale squad Friday, the Hawks face a Unity squad that likes to run right at defenses behind a sizable offensive line and a backfield led by sizable senior signal caller Brody Allen, who has gained 259 yards so far this year, according to WisSports. net stats. Allen also throws well enough to keep teams off-balance. He was seven for 10 for 161 yards against Amery.

“I think they’re kind of comparable to Marathon,” Hawks’ co-head coach Jonah Campbell said. Marathon beat the Hawks 38-8 in week one. “Looking at Auburndale you see a speed, size, strength type of a mismatch. If you look at Unity, I think there are some things we can take advantage of. There are some things where I think we can move the ball. They run a semi-similar defense to Marathon, so we know there are some things we can improve upon.”

The teams are scheduled to play twice this year. This will be considered the conference game. The teams did not meet in 2020. Unity won last year’s game 28-6.
