THIS ONE HAD EVERYTHING YOU COULD ASK FOR AND THEN SOME. LET'S HEAD TO WILLIAM R. HART STADIUM, SAULT STE. MARIE CAME INTO THIS ONE AT 3-1 ON THE SEASON AND LOOKING TO SPOIL MARQUETTE'S HOMECOMING. BUT MARQUETTE WOULD STRIKE FIRST. FIRST DRIVE OF THE GAME, MARQUETTE IN BLUE DEVIL TERRITORY, JAXON JURMU WILL HIT FORD RICHARDSON. RICHARDSON WILL MAKE ONE DEFENDER MISS AND HE'S GONE, RACING DOWN THE SIDELINE AND TAKING IT IN FOR THE 22- YARD TOUCHDOWN. MARQUETTE GOES UP 7-NOTHING. WE'LL PICK BACK UP IN THE SECOND AFTER THE TEAMS TAKE TURNS ECHANGING TURNOVERS, TRISTAN WALCHER WILL TAKE THE HANDOFF INSIDE AND FIGHT OFF A HIT AS HE REACHES ACROSS THE GOALINE, BLUE DEVILS TIE THE GAME UP AT 7. NOW UNDER A MINUTE UNTIL HALFTIME, SAULT STE MARIE PUNTING DEEP IN THEIR OWN TERRITORY WHEN YAWN VAN DEN END WILL COME FLYING IN AND BLOCK THE PUNT, SETTING MARQUETTE UP PERFECTLY FOR THEM TO FINISH THE JOB ON THE VERY NEXT PLAY. JURMU TAKES THE READ OPTION AND FINDS JACOB MACPHEE FOR SIX AND MARQUETTE TAKES A BIG MOMENTUM SWING INTO HALFTIME. NOW IN THE THIRD ON A DRIVE WITH SOME FAVORABLE FIELD POSITION, TUCKER WELCH WILL TAKE THE HANDOFF INSIDE AND WITH SOME LATE HELP FROM DASAN SMITH WILL BE PULLED INTO THE ENDZONE AND MARQUETTE TAKES A 21-7 LEAD. NEXT DRIVE, BLUE DEVILS LOOKING TO GET BACK IN IT, CALLEN CAMPBELL WILL LAUNCH ONE DEEP, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE PICKED OFF BY WYATT LAKENEN, AND MARQUETTE TAKES BACK OVER. BLUE DEVILS UNABLE TO GET ANYTHING ELSE GOING ON OFFENSE, WHILE BIG DEFENSE AND SPECIAL TEAMS HELP MARQUETTE WIN OUR GAME OF THE WEEK 28-7. JAKE: LET'S GO NOW TO WEST ISHPEMING, THE WESTWOOD PATRIOTS HOSTING THE GLADSTONE BRAVES. GLADSTONE LEADING 13-0 IN THE FIRST QUARTER AND PATRIOTS HOSTING THE GLADSTONE BRAVES. GLADSTONE LEADING 13-0 IN THE FIRST QUARTER AND LOOKING FOR MORE. NATE YOUNG MAKING MAGIC.. HE THROWS A DIME TO KADEN GIBBS FOR THE TOUCHDOWN. YOUNG MADE THAT LOOK EASY..BRAVES LEAD 20-0. SECOND QUARTER. BRAVES WITH THE FOOTBALL. YOUNG WILL HAND IT OFF TO ELI BERTHAUME..BERTHU AME WEAVING HIS WAY THROUGH THE PATRIOTS DEFENSE..THE RESULT IS ANOTHER BRAVES TOUCHDOWN..27-0 GLADSTONE. WESTWOOD TRYING TO GET SOMETHING GOING..BUT ETHAN MARTA IS GOING TO BE PICKED OFF BY EVAN WOELFFLER. THE JUNIOR DEFENSIVE BACK WILL MAKE A NICE RETURN..HE ACTUALLY ALMOST BRINGS THIS BACK FOR SIX, BUT HE'LL BE TRIPPED UP..NEAR THE 20 YARDS LINE DEEP INTO WESTWOOD TERRITORY. SETTING UP THIS SCORE BY GIBBS..GLADSTONE TOPS WESTWOOD, 49-8. GIBBS HAD THREE TOUCHDOWNS IN THE GAME AND A PICK..AND TO TOP IT OFF TODAY WAS HIS 18TH BIRTHDAY.. KAEDEN GIBBS: YEAH, IT'S A PRETTY GOOD WIN TO CELEBRATE MY 18TH BIRTHDAY. IT FEELS WIERD TO HAVE A GAME ON MY BIRTHDAY, BUT I LIKE IT, IT'S COOL. NATE (YOUNG) WAS REALLY ON TONIGHT WASN'T HE? YES, HE HAD SOME GREAT PASSES ALL AROUND, EVEN SOME RUNS WHERE HE HAD TO ROLL OUT OF THE POCKET. HE PLAYED AN OVERALL GREAT GAME. IT WAS A GREAT WIN FOR US I THINK THERE'S SOME STUFF WE NEED TO CLEAN UP. BUT WE HAD JOSH OUT THIS WEEK, HE HAD A LITTLE INJURY BUT HE SHOULD BE BACK NEXT WEEK. HOPEFULLY TER, IT ENDS UP BEING NOTHING AND THEN HOPEFULLY WE HAVE TREVOR BACK NEXT WEEK. OVERALL, I THINK WE'LL BE PRETTY GOOD JUST CLEAN SOME THINGS UP OFFENSIVLEY AND DEFENSIVLEY AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO BRING IT. LET'S GO NOW TO KINGSFORD...THE FLIVVERS WELCOMING IN THE CALUMET COPPER KINGS TONIGHT. SECOND QUARTER..KINGSFOR D UP 13-0. THE FLIVVERS DEFENSE WAS DISTRUPTIVE IN THIS ONE..CALUMET DRIVING..BUT A FUMBLE HERE WOULD LEAD TO A SCOOP AND SCORE...THAT'S GAVIN TREVILLIAN SPRINTING DOWN THE SIDELINES FOR SIX. THAT WOULD MAKE IT 19-0 KINGSFORD. THIRD QUARTER NOW. THE KINGSFORD DEFENSE STILL PLAYING AT A HIGH LEVEL..THAT PLAY WAS DESTROYED BY ELIZEN ROUSE..CALUMET LOSING A COUPLE YARDS..THEN, TED LOUKUS GOING TO BE SACKED BY GARRET VEALE FOR A LOSS. THEN KINGSFORD WILL AGAIN, TURN DEFENSE INTO OFFENSE...IT'S TREVILLIAN..THIS TIME WITH THE PICK SIX. KINGSFORD'S DEFENSE SHUTS OUT CALUMET..THE FLIVVERS WIN THIS ONE 41-0. JAKE: MOVING ON. WE MAKE A STOP IN IRON MOUNTAIN. THE MOUNTAINEERS PLAYING HOST TO WEST IRON COUTNY. WE'LL START THINGS OFF WITH THE ALWAYS EXCITING TOUCHDOWN RUN FROM A FEW YARDS OUT COURTESY OF LUKE WOLF..7-0 MOUNTAINEERS. IRON MOUNTAIN WAS JUST GETTING STARTED...THE JETS SWEEP WILL GO TO MATTHEW COLAVECCHI, HE SIDE STEPS A FEW DEFENDS AND FINDS A LANE..TAHT SCORE WILL MAKE 14-0. A SAFETY WOULD MAKE THE SCORE 16-0..AND ON THE FREE KICK..COLAVECCHI WILL BREAK THIS THING OPEN WITH A BIG RETURN..HE TIGHT ROPES THE SIDELINES AND IS INTO THE ENDZONE FOR THE SCORE. IRON MOUNTAIN WINS BIG OVER WEST IRON...49-0 TOR: LET'S HEAD TO THE COPPER COUNTRY. THE HOUGHTON GREMLINS PLAYING HOST TO THE RED HOT MENOMINEE MAROONS.

THE BALL WILL BE HANDED OFF TO LANDON BARDOWSKI, BARDOWSKI WILL NO BE DENIED.HE'S INTO THE ENDZONE FROM A FEW YARDS OUT..TREVER TEAR-A- COUGH WOULD CONVERT THE TWO PONT TRY TO MAKE IT 8-0 MAROONS. A BIT LATER, MAROONS BACK WITH THE FOOTBALL..TEAR- A-COUGH TO HIS LEFT..HE'LL SHOW NICE TOUCH ON THIS THROW, CONNECTING WITH AARON BRUNELLE WHO'S TACKLED INSIDE THE FIVE YARD LINE. THAT WOULD SET UP THIS ON THE VERY NEXT PLAY. TEAR-A- COUGH TO ELI BEAL FOR THE MAROONS SECOND SCORE OF THE NIGHT. 16-0 MAROONS. AFTER A HOUGHTON TURNOVER - MENOMINEE BACK ON THE ATTACK, TANNER TEAR-A-COUGH TAKES THE REVERSE HAND OFF AND HE BREAKS LOOSE... THIS ONE WAS ALL MAROONS - THEY TOP HOUGHTON, 56 TO NOTHING. WE'LL FINISH UP IN HANCOCK WHERE THE BULLDOGS TOOK ON THE NEGAUNEE MINERS. THE VISITING MINERS UP 35-10 AND LOOKING TO ADD TO THAT LEAD. KAI LACAR WILL POWER HIS WAY IN FOR THE T-D.

PAUL JACOBSON, HEAD COACH, NEGAUNEE FOOTBALL: WE'VE BEEN IN TIGHT GAMES THE WHOLE YEAR SO FAR AND I THINK THE GUYS REALLY CAME READY TO PLAY TONIGHT. YOU KNOW, HANCOCK THEY'RE A YOUNG TEAM FOR SURE, THEY GOT SOME YOUNG KIDS BUT I THINK WE JUST PLAYED GREAT TONIGHT. WE FEEL GREAT ABOUT EVERY WIN, ESPECIALLY WITH THE COMPETITION YOU PLAY IN THE WEST-PAC. YOU GOT TO FEEL HAPPY WITH EVERY WIN YOU GET. IT WAS GOOD TO SEE SOME GUYS THAT WERE ABLE TO GET ON THE FIELD TONIGHT THAT HAVEN'T SEEN MUCH ACTION PRIOR. THEY'RE JUST AS MUCH A PART OF THIS TEAM AS EVERYONE ELSE, SO IT WAS NICE TO SEE THEM HAVE SOME SUCCESS TONIGHT AS WELL. MORE SCORES TO PASS ALONG FROM AROUND THE U.P.
