Chadron St took advantage of the friendly confines of Elliott Field as they beat in state rival Nebraska-Kearney 24-21 on Thursday (9/3/26) night.
The Eagles got it done in all three phases of the game.
On offense, Chadron gained 330 total yards, with 221 passing yards and ly half of the yards were the result of Devon Sundgren’s big night, as he racked up 144 yards on 3 receptions. One of Sundgren’s receptions was an 88 yard touchdown pass from Aidan Thompson, which gave Sundgren the opportunity to show off his impressive speed.
The Eagle’s defense held Nebraska-Kearney to less than 300 yards of total offense while dishing out punishing hits. Junior LB Jarred Marquez led the Eagles’ defense with 7 solo tackles and 4 assisted tackles.
Chadron’s punting unit set the tone for the special teams with their tremendous coverage, getting tackles inside the 15 on two occasions. One of those occasions occurred on Triston Hite’s 70 yard punt!
Leading Chadron to the win were:
🏈 Aidan Thompson, 13 Cmps on 22 Atts for 221 Yds & 1 TD;
🏈 Devon Sundgren, 3 Recs for 144 Yds & 1 TD;
🏈 Devon Rivers, 13 Carries for 43 Yds;
🏈 Jarred Marquez, 11 Tackles (7 Solo & 4 Ast) & 2 Forced Fumbles;
🏈 Aiden Kuester, 8 Tackles (4 Solo & 4 Ast) & an INT; &
🏈 Cooper Walton, 8 Tackles (2 Solo & 6 Ast).
Chadron looks to pick up its 1st road win of the season next weekend when they open up RMAC play in Gunnison against Western CO.

O-Line Uncovered Step Drill
- The uncovered step is a technique used by offensive linemen that is essentially based on the traditional bucket step.
- This specific footwork is a fundamental component used to successfully execute double-team blocks.
- While the covered a two-step approach, the uncovered lineman must execute a short bucket step followed by a second step aimed directly up the defender's crotch.
- During the execution of the block, linemen are coached to keep their eyes on the defender's thigh to read their movement.
- When working a double team to the second level, linemen should drive the defensive lineman toward the linebacker and only disengage to climb when the linebacker is within an arm's length.
- Coaches should emphasize a heavy second step to generate movement and maintain a low pad level to effectively drive defenders off the line of scrimmage.

O-Line Snag Drill
- The snag drill requires offensive linemen, defenders with dummies, and a partner who grabs and snags the offensive lineman's ankle.
- Snagging the ankle reinforces the need for the offensive lineman to drive their knee and leg forward with power when taking ld emphasize the importance of the second step and ensure players are driving it directly up the crotch of the defender.
- Effective movement during the drill involves maintaining low pad level, achieving a strong thumb lift with the inside arm, and driving up the board.
- Ankle flexibility is critical and is defined as having all cleats in the ground while being able to position the kneecap directly over the toe.
- Offensive linemen must avoid taking a first step that is too large, as it prevents proper knee-over-toe positioning; instead, they should take a short step, often around six inches.

O-Line Covered Step Drill
- This offensive line drill utilizes the lines on a turf field or painted boxes to simulate old-school board drills.
- To maximize individual time, coaches can line up multiple players along every five-yard line to get a high volume of repetitions in a rst movement, or the power step, is a short step used to transfer weight from the backside big toe to the lead leg to create power.
- On the coach's second command, players execute the drive step, which provides the actual movement and force of the block.
- Players must ensure their second step lands in front of their first step, driving that foot up the crotch of the defender and upfield.
- While players in the drill may fall forward without resistance, in a game scenario, this momentum is used to strike the defender in a proper fit.
