"Second time's a charm" did not apply to the 1989 Southern Door football team after winning the state title in its first attempt.
By first attempt, that means in the playoffs period, not just in the state title game. Led by future Notre Dame and NFL player Jim Flanigan, the Eagles won the state championship 17-7 over Westby. Flanigan accounted for all the points scored by the Eagles with touchdowns on the ground and through the air along with a field goal.
