Delaware's lone remaining undefeated football team is the Archmere Auks. They cap their perfect season with a 27-0 shutout win over Woodbridge in the Class 2A championship game. Seen here with DIAA director Donna Polk is head coach John Bellace and Kieran Udovich in the middle.

The Auks jumped out to a 13-0 first quarter lead with Declan Pearson scoring twice on the ground from 5 and 3 yards away. He had 18 carries for 98 yards in the game. From there the Auk defense took over and the offense kept the ball on the ground to keep the clock running as much as possible.
