No Huskies, come

Welcome to this week in Huskies Athletics, here on the exclusive radio voice of the Huskies, MIX 93 and WMPL radio.

This week in Huskies Athletics is sponsored by MichiganTechHuskies.com.

Your gold two stars for everything Michigan Tech Sports, including scores, schedules, game highlights, coaches interviews, live stats and more.

MichiganTechHuskies.com.

Bringing you this week in Huskies Athletics.

Time for another episode of This Week in Michigan Tech Athletics.

The show where we're going to go over everything Michigan Tech for this week.

I am your host, Sam Sears, and thank you for joining us here on MIX 93 and the U-Burk.

Michigan Tech had a pretty good week overall.

Leading things off with football, the team improved to Denon after a 48 to 27 victory over Midwestern State at Saturday, here at home at the Curly Stadium.

That was their sixth straight home opening victory for the

Huskies, who forced five turnovers in the game.

Volleyball went two for two at the Mountain Line Classic in Colorado Springs, they're now four to four overall.

The Huskies fell in five to UCCS and South Dakota Mines, and they beat St.

Edward's in five and swept Midwestern State.

Tex Soccer wrapped up non-conference play with a pair of losses on the road in Ohio.

On Thursday, Tech fell 3-1 to Northwood on Thursday and that one is the first goal they've had this season and they also fell 3-0 to Cedarville on Saturday.

Now looking on to the weekend, tomorrow is the start of the GLIAC for both Volleyball and Soccer.

Tomorrow at 5, women's Volleyball will be playing at Davenport and Tech Soccer will be having their first GLIAC match of the year against Segna Valley State right here at the Gurley Stadium at 6.

Saturday, Volleyball has their second match of the week against Segna Valley State.

That begins at 2.

And at the same time, football takes on Emporia State at 2.

And that game is something we'll broadcast right here on MIX 93.5 FM WKMJ with a 130 pre-game.

And then to wrap things up on Sunday, we have Shocker facing off against Grand Valley State at noon and they're still here at home at Curly Stadium.

So this is a great weekend to get out and support the soccer Huskies.

If you want your tickets, go to BuyHuskiesTickets.com.

And sticking with soccer, Coach Melissa Cujar had her weekly press conference.

And the first thing she asked was how she felt the weekend went for her team.

Yeah, I mean, obviously not ideal with two losses, you know, our Northwood game.

We outshot him 19-9.

We just couldn't find the back of the net.

We missed a P.K.

early, which kind of was a bit of a damper on it.

Found a goal, which was nice off of a corner.

And then just gave up some goals we shouldn't have, a P.K.

at the end and all of that.

A game I thought we should have won.

The score doesn't kind of reflect the full game and how we out-possessed them.

And then, you know, going into Saturday's game, Cedarville's a really good team.

We had, you know, 1-0 off of a free kick we had given up.

And then we, you know, got a red card in that game and we were playing down.

So it was just us crawling and scraping and trying to make do with what we had.

And they scored on two goals of just, I mean, when you have an extra player on the field, it doesn't help our case.

But I think we fought, you know, really hard in that game, actually created more in the attack with a player down, which is crazy.

But no, I mean, overall,

happy with the energy and effort our team gave, but we gotta find some wins, we gotta find some goals.

You had talked last week about making changes to the lineup, how do you feel like that played out over the course of the weekend?

Yeah, we faced some injuries which made us have to kind of resort back to what we were doing, walked away with a few girls with some bumps, but overall we were able to kind of mix up some stuff, but what didn't do it to the best ability I wanted to.

just with having one practice on the week.

So this upcoming week, we'll have three solid practices to be able to kind of tinker with some stuff and then look to kind of making some changes as we go into conference.

Looking specifically at the Northwood game, this is a team that hasn't won a lot the last couple of years.

So learning how to win is a big part of it too, isn't it?

Yeah, it's a huge part, right?

It's not easy to win games, right?

You have to really battle.

You have to grind.

You have to put full things together.

So it's different, right?

It's hard to win sometimes.

And I challenged our girls.

I'm like, when is enough enough?

When's losing not fun anymore?

When's losing not what we want to do anymore?

And they all have the mentality that they're over it.

They're over losing.

They want to win, right?

So it's really trying to get them to just

kind of get over that hump.

I think we're real close.

We're climbing up that mountain.

It's just now getting over the peak of it and really solidifying some games and putting the ball in the back of the net.

And it's a process.

I have to keep remembering that.

And the girls have to keep remembering that.

They're angry.

They don't like losing, right?

But we also play a super hard non-conference to set us up for what we will see in the GLIAC.

So we're close.

We're getting there.

Again, we're not at our peak.

We're not even close to it yet.

We just got to keep putting, putting full games together and, and we'll get there.

The ball is going to go in the back of the net eventually.

Then coach Kuhar talks about how prepared they are for this weekend's matchups against Saginaw Valley State and Grand Valley State.

The two hardest hitters right off the top, right?

No, they'll be tough games, but again, I don't think it's anything our team isn't ready for or isn't prepared for.

We'll continue to prepare this week and be ready for it.

Saginaw, you know, is a solid team.

They don't have some of the players they have.

last year.

So that's, you know, something different.

We're going to see a little bit of a different team than they had in the past.

But I think, you know, very, very beatable.

I mean, any team in this conference is beatable if we put a full game together.

And then GV, I think, you know, they're Sinette number five in the nation.

But I think that's more motivation for our girls is like, you know, why not us?

So no, they're going to be two tough games against two very good opponents that are very well coached.

But again, it's, you know, why not us?

Why?

why can't we put it together and this be kind of our weekend to really kick start on that winning streak.

And that was Michigan Tech's soccer coach Melissa Cujar during her press conference this week at Michigan Tech.

Again, the soccer team is going to be playing this Friday against second of Valley State here at home at 6.

And they're staying at home for their game against Grand Valley State on Sunday at no.

These are bound to be exciting matchups as they kick off their Gleax season.

Come up soon, you're going to be hearing from volleyball coach Cindy Pendrell.

You're listening to this week in Michigan Tech Athletics sponsored by Michigan Tech Huskies.com.

Yo, Huskies!

This is Huskies hockey coach Bill McCullough.

McCarthy meet the hockey Huskies community mixer this Saturday at the Mac starting at 10.

No Huskies!

Welcome back to this week in Michigan Tech athletics here on mix 93 in the uber.

I am your host Sam Sears, Michigan Tech's soccer coach Cindy Pendrell had her press conference this week and she started off by reflecting on how the first two weeks of this season have gone so far.

Yeah, we're sitting in a good spot right now.

We have had a ton of battles.

And so, you know, I think there's a lot of beauty in learning early how to compete and how to battle against tough teams.

Depending on what ranking system you look at, every single team that we've played has been ranked above us.

So to be four and four at this point is right on target, I would say.

You know, certainly we had a couple of chances to pull out maybe one or two upsets here and there.

Of course we want that South Dakota Mines game back.

We had quite a few set point or match points there, but we're learning a lot as a team and we had to face a decent amount of adversity and a short period of time this past weekend as well.

So, you know, we're learning as we go and I would prefer to be battle tested already this early in the season than.

have to learn it

in Gliac Play.

Fillion pretty good.

Um, we had yesterday kind of a lighter practice.

We only went for an hour and did some film after that.

Um, so today we're going to start getting more into our regular practice schedule and all that stuff.

Um, yeah, this week we've got Davenport who is tall and they are good blocking team and, uh, do a lot on offense with their outsides, Abby Allen.

Um,

So yeah, that's going to be a challenge for us.

We had kind of a rough go of it last year at Davenport.

We had a major injury happen at that facility last year.

So we're looking for a little bit of redemption for that player specifically, but also for everybody.

We all wanted to, we all want to play well in this one.

So we're not going into it, you know, nervous or anything like that, more of like a, let's get some redemption from last year type mentality with that one.

And then Saginaw has added quite a few transfers.

They're very well coached.

Coach Lana took over a couple of years ago and I really respect

the way that she operates her team.

Um, so Saginaw is going to be a battle as well.

Um, you know, they have a very talented setter and just have weapons galore as well.

So, you know, I think the parody and the GLIAC should be there quite a bit this year.

Um, but yeah, it should be a quality weekend for us.

Michigan Tech volleyball coach Cindy Pendrell at her press conference this week at Michigan Tech.

Good luck to the team as they start GLIAC play and take on Davenport tomorrow at five and Saginaw Valley State on Saturday at two.

We'll be hearing from Michigan Tech football coach, Dad Metlack, after the break.

Welcome back to This Week in Michigan Tech Athletics.

Michigan Tech football saw success this week with a 48-27 victory over Midwestern State back on Saturday.

There are currently two to none in the standings.

During his press conference at Michigan Tech this week, Michigan Tech football coach Dan Matlak was asked about his win over Midwestern.

I was happy with everything, obviously.

That team was as dangerous as anybody were going to see in terms of what they have offensively and the weapons they had.

To be able to get the turnovers early, to get settled in was awesome.

The way the guys played and showed up ready to go was very happy with that part.

Again, talking after the game, if there was anything we're nitpicking on, I just thought there was a couple chances we left out there early offensively, obviously getting the turnover in the red zone and not getting anything out of it.

And obviously, we got to be able to capitalize in those situations.

But overall, I thought the guys played really well.

A couple of hiccups in the second half when there was a back and forth.

But other than that, I mean, win by 21 against a team that

that talented.

We'll take that every time.

How valuable is it to play a team like that that runs that hurry up offense so effectively?

I mean, it's going to get us ready for this week and we're going to see the same thing again this week.

They want to go fast as well.

So for our guys to handle it the way they did was great to see.

It felt like with the time of possession, obviously being in our favor by almost five minutes, being able to keep the defense off the field, to get them rested up to be able to battle that was good as well.

So overall from an entire team deal,

taking care of the football on our side for the most part.

Being able to extend drives and finish drives and then getting off the field like we did on defense was good to play off each other from that standpoint.

thought we handled it well last week.

We're going to have to reload and handle it well again this week.

We talked about it a little bit after the game on Saturday, but Chase coming up with two interceptions and Jameson had the other one.

How nice is it to see those guys stepping up right away this season and making plays and giving you an opportunity?

Yeah, I mean, those guys making those plays obviously great when it happened and going to need to continue to make those plays.

I think the most positive part about what we did with the turnovers on Saturday

is, you know, when we're getting the opportunities, we're not letting them go.

So, you know, you get a ball in your area and you can make a play on it and complete those catches.

It's a big deal for us.

Even the fumbles that got on the ground, one special teams and the very first play of the game to be able to get that covered up was obviously good.

So we've talked about it for a long time around here.

Being able to turn teams over, you know, it's hard enough to get off the field as it is, you know, and we've seen that in the first two weeks, even being in third and longs.

you know teams are able to convert so anytime we get an opportunity to get our hands on the football taking advantage of that is a big deal.

Dan Matlag then talked about defense and how to make them stronger.

We're playing a bunch of bodies in the back end, especially against a team that wants to go as fast as they are.

So it gets back to what we talked about last week, the communication of what the call is, understanding the situation of the game, regardless of what we're running coverage-wise of just not letting guys get behind us in those crucial times.

We got some guys that.

That cue we played last week is dangerous outside of the pocket.

He made a lot of plays with his feet, wanted to throw it downfield, so he was very patient when he did get outside of the pocket.

And in those situations, our DBs have to rely on what's going on in front of them and just make sure they're matching up who they're supposed to be covering rather than watching where the football's at.

So had some bad eyes at times and kind of fell off coverage.

But again, things that

that are correctable and we will get corrected here soon.

Football coach Dan Matlach then looks forward, talking about this weekend's opponent, Emporia State, and what they do well.

Same thing, offensively, that we saw last week.

I mean, it's a little bit different in terms of what they're doing scheme-wise, but they're going to spread us out, go 100 miles an hour.

And of course, that can give anybody fits when those kind of teams are in rhythm.

So we got to do a good job on first and second down to keep them out of that fast-paced stuff.

make sure that we're not giving up cheap ones.

If they're throwing the line of scrimmage routes or any of the quick game, we got to get it tackled so it's not going for chunk plays.

But they're talented.

The Q's good.

They got weapons on the outside that are capable of making guys miss in space.

So we're going to have to get hats to the football again and do a good job in our reduced box.

When they spread the field, less guys in the box, we've got to do a job with their run game as well.

So again, we'll have our hands full from that standpoint, just like we did last week.

Our guys have a plan for it, and we just got to execute it at that point.

So defensively, shut down a really good pit state team last week.

And we're great on third down, getting off the field.

So opposite of what I just talked about with our defense, we got to be good on first and second down to keep ourselves in third and in shorts to manageable so that our whole playbook is alive at that point.

Do not want to be in a situation where we're on a.

a ton of third and longs with this team because they're athletic up front and run a different scheme in terms of the box that we're going to see.

So we'll see some different pressures and guys are going to be in different spots.

So our communication up front is going to have to be good and get at the end of an idea pre-snap where we're going with the football so that we're not standing back there for three or four seconds either.

So it's going to be a challenge going to a place we've never been before playing a team we've never played before.

The trip is going to be different for our guys.

I said this at the beginning.

I think with the maturity we have coming back, once we get down there, it's just go play football at that point.

And regardless of who we're playing.

Where do you feel like the special teams are at at this point?

I mean, obviously, Avery kicks a school tying field goal and all of that.

But as a whole, where do

you feel like in Israel?

Yeah.

Good for the most part.

There's some things with our PAT field goal team that we got to get cleaned up.

And it's not just Avery.

It's an operational thing with the snap, the hold, and the protection part of it.

But I've said this before.

I think Avery is a weapon for us.

I love what he does, kicking the football.

Obviously showed that on Saturday with where he hit the one before half from.

But those chip shot field goals and whatnot.

We expect those to be 100% every single time.

So we've got to be better from that standpoint, especially in a situation where you get a turnover.

You've got to be able to come away with points there, whether it be a touchdown or a field goal.

So for everything else, our coverage units have been pretty good.

We let a kid get back to the middle of the field on one of the kickoffs last week.

So we've got to be better with our coverage lanes on those.

But we punted it well and protected it well.

right now we're covering it well so there's some stuff we got to clean up but overall pretty happy with that.

If that was Michigan Tech football head coach Dan Metlack talking at his press conference this week over at Michigan Tech.

Football plays at Emporia State at 2 on Saturday.

If that game will be broadcast on MIX 93.5 FM WKMJ then we have 1.30 with Josh Huletel making the call.

Now, in other news for this week, want to give congratulations to Michigan Tech's Chase Cook and Avery Kacharski.

They have both been honored as GLIAC football players of the week.

Richland Center volleyball coach Jamie Johnson is a guest on the pre-match show.

How did the team play in the win over Dodgeville?

I was extremely thrilled with our game experience that night.

I thought that was probably the most complete.

match I've seen in a while.

I understand, you know, Dodgeville's lost some things and they're not might be where they're at and where they're going to be at.

They have a new coach over there who's going to do some great things.

But I thought we just from start to finish, we played with a great level of focus and intensity.

I thought we had tremendous serving.

You know, we've had more games with more aces, games with maybe less misses, but I thought it was just consistent what we've worked on this hard low flat.

Florida type serves we were relentless and we were able to take them out of system all night I think we had five aces and only three miss serves but Just we were just phenomenal on that and just dictated our service Eve was over a 2.0 Which if we do that we're going to win a lot of matches This year, so I thought it was just a locked in great effort

When you look at the weekend then, I knew

you had that, just kind of really an elite volleyball tournament here in Richland Center.

How did the team play on Saturday?

Yeah, we came out a little slow, lost the first one to Royal, bounced back and won the second, third set.

Unfortunately, we acquired an injury to L-Acquamments.

Some could argue maybe one of our best players, you know, coming back from last year, the team really had helped, you know, voted hers, co-MVP last year.

So she went out with an injury in the middle of that match.

The girls were able to rally and knock off a royal team who was ranked at the time in their division.

And then we struggled against Fenimore.

We actually led most the way and just kind of fell apart late.

And then, you know, we lost the second set.

And again, our service he was not.

We had a lot of great things.

They had good servers.

They ran a good offense.

Their hitters were really hitting high, you know, causing us.

They're going over our block and we just we weren't able to be as effective as we could.

And again, you know, I thought some things stepped up and then we still had two more matches.

We had Hillsborough, who is honorable mention in their division, able to win that in two.

He really complimented our liberals.

We're running a two-liberal system.

And he's like, I hate your liberals because they're too good.

And so that's a great compliment to our team.

I thought our blocking stepped up in the afternoon or causing some things there.

And then we played a good, what I feel is a really good Reedsboro team.

I don't know how they're going to do in their division, but ran a lot of different offensive looks, which really challenged us.

But again, we got some enough blocks early on.

that we did a really good job, and we were able to beat Reedsburg in two.

So we went three and one on the weekend, and that's great.

You know, put us at nine and two this year, and our loss came to Fall Creek, who last week was number two in our division.

I think they fell to number three this week in the state rankings, and then, you know, lost to Fenimore, who's in our sectional, so.

We'll see how that goes, but they're a good team.

They beat Luther and took Cuba right to the end.

So it was a good friend of our team.

And we got our work cut out for us this week with Platteville coming up.

But it was kind of nice.

We said we talked about it, too.

We're not going to talk about it a lot.

But it's nice to recognize or celebrate it in a moment.

But it's early in the season.

But we were able to make the rankings the last two weeks.

Last week we were ranked 6 and D3.

This week we're ranked 8th.

So all things consider what we've been through and things like that.

I think it's a great recognition, but there's just a lot of great teams in the area and that can go real quick if we're not grounded and rooted and we play a ranked team this week with Platteville.

So our schedule is paying off.

Five teams are ranked.

Our uncle mentioned that we've played so far.

So that's just getting us battle tested and

and ready for a tough Platteville

team.

IS Richland Center valuable coach, Jamie Johnson, what makes Platteville a tough team?

Well, they experienced great coaching.

You know, Denise just does a great job down there.

They got the temporary girls, you know, they just got a lot of experience back.

They got the die girl in the middle who's just a huge hitter and blocker really brings it.

One of the harder hitters will face this year.

They just fundamentally sound great servers.

They dig, they play good defense.

They're just a print of power.

The expectation, the tradition of Platteville is there.

They won it last year.

They didn't lose a lot to graduation, where they still have some of their key players back.

They just beat a good mineral point team last night.

I know Mineral Point had an injury to one of their players at that tournament we were at.

But yeah, you know, the Mineral Point is still a great program and they went to Mineral Point last night and are on Tuesday night and won, you know, three sets to one.

So it's going to be a tough challenge, especially without Ella.

But, you know, our girls got some experience, you know, that's what's great about summer ball.

People miss here and there and other people get opportunities.

And it's just an opportunity for this team to rally and put up a good fight.

So what do you think so far, the highlights, or maybe your team's strong points so far in the season?

I think their togetherness is just, this is a fun group to coach.

They have a lot of fun.

We'll see how loose and relaxed they are in a big conference game, but they try to stay loose.

That way they get along really well.

I think that's one of those strengths.

We got a lot of kids involved, almost playing the entire

Squad there and so that I think that kind of helps you know as well as they're battling for positions even though they're we've got kids battling for spots and so you know nothing's locked in yet They're they're just raising the bar on each other and that's what you want to see that's what competition you hope brings out is the best of everybody and no one is like You know pulling away, but more importantly no one is like

just dropping the ball and letting it happen.

They're all fighting and they're all improving, which is just going to make us better as a team.

Again, I think right now our, our serving is our strength.

We, you know, we don't hit the hardest in the league.

We don't, you know, you know, we've been shown signs that we can serve a C well.

And so serve and serve a C are the key to high school volleyball.

The other stuff is great.

But you got to do those two things first.

to be able to play better defense with a good, you know, if you put good, good serving, you put people on the, on the defensive and to make sure defense better and vice versa.

You serve a seed, you can be on the attack and get them, you know, playing behind the point and just stay out ahead.

But this group is really scrappy.

They run things down.

They're never out of a point.

You know, they've come back when you're down 1620 to a very, very good Cuba City team and won that one in the second set and won the third.

So I mean, they've proven to themselves that they're not out of it and that they can get after it.

So you look at us and we don't look like a volleyball team.

We don't look like a great volleyball team as we walk on the court, but this group doesn't care.

And that's what's awesome.

They just play well together.

And I think people will appreciate and love the style and the effort.

that this team will put forth.

They're definitely worth coming out and showing up in person and watching this group, I think, and they deserve it.

This is our only home match of the month.

So we would love it if people would get out this Thursday night and come out and support this group and maybe help them rally behind this and get a big win.

Yeah, I was going to say you're going to be road warriors and road tested and so good opportunity.

How good is it going to

be

to play at home on Thursday night?

Well, it's an important one that if you got an injury, we've talked about this years before.

You really almost need to go 5-0 at home and at the worst 4-1.

But being down, Ella, that home crowd really could help us maybe pull off this win and get behind the girls without it.

It's going to be important.

If we could win this one, that would just put us in some early great position knowing, again,

The first five out of six in the conference are on the road and we just we got to hang in the fight.

We got to hang in the race long enough to come down the stretch where we have the last four at home.

And so if we could be in good position, um, it could be a great thing, but, um, it'll be good to get one.

We at least had the home tournament.

So we've had that feel a little bit, but it's nothing quite like a home dual crowd when the community comes out, the student section is there.

All those things add, add to that mystique, you know, of the thing.

And it's just a big,

big match early in the, in the conference season here where, you know, we're not even into September, you know, the teams or anything.

We're just still early in September, but yet a match that will dramatically, I believe, impact the conference race.

Sounds good.

Good luck as you get ready for Platteville.

Thank you.

That is it for tonight's pre-match show.

And we're just about off and running here with a match coming up in just a couple of minutes.

Elodie Weiss, the leader for Richland Center, the senior averaging almost three kills per set through the early going.

And Ella Clements, the leading hitting percentage as well.

We do have an update.

Ella is a game time decision, but she is warming up and it appears that she might play but a different position with an injured ankle.

So sounds like

They're considering giving her a go tonight.

Kylie Burns leads the team with eight blocks.

Also Adeline Words averaging around four digs per set, which is pretty impressive and more impressively maybe.

Adeline Words with 11 aces so far on the season.

On the Platteville side, Quinn temporally averaging three kills per set.

And Rihanna Dai, the leading hitter, she is their middle and a very tall player to contend with.

for Richland Center, well aware of Platteville because many of these players played last year.

Rihanna Dye has 17 blocks on the year.

Avery Richard averaging around three and a half digs per set.

And Soraya Stone has an amazing 22 aces through the early competition where 14 matches.

Team's finishing their warm-ups here at Richland Center High School.

It's about set for action tonight between Platteville and Richland Center.

Good to have you along.

As Jamie mentioned, it is the first and only conference duel of the season in September.

Richland Center will have a nice October, that means they'll be ready to go with lots of home matches here.

And I mentioned this last year, last week.

There just aren't very many

because you play your conference teams, but so many of the matches are played on the weekends in these tournaments, so your only chance to play at home is a conference duel, and so you're kind of at the mercy of how that is scheduled from year to year.

So no home opportunities.

It would have been nice to have a non-conference team.

As mentioned, Platteville played Mineral Point on Tuesday night, which is a good non-conference match.

river valley plate darlington last week which is again a crossover with the s w a l so hopefully maybe uh... the next few years richard center can look at working out and what happens though i know is that you take away uh... a term of opportunity because i think they schedule you by number of dates that you play you play five times on a saturday if you only play once that takes away those five opportunities on saturday i think that part of the issue but uh... i think some people would probably

maybe go for less tournaments on the weekends, maybe have a weekend off once in a while too.

So, I don't know, there's a little give and take.

Final announcements being made for the folks that have gathered here tonight, and our action will be led by our national anthem, which comes up in just a little bit.

It's a broadcast live from the WRCO Sports Desk, sponsored by Ray's Do-It-Bets Center and Rockwell Automation.

Thank you.

The Richland Center Ithaca Cross Country team has been faring well in the early season meets.

I talked to coach Eric Minden today and asked him about the team's meet at Bosquebell this past Tuesday.

I thought we ran really well.

It's a tough course.

It's up on the ridge top on a farm.

So up and down the hills there.

So I thought we ran well.

The boys team got out fast.

I ran together.

The girls team really gave Fennimore a highly ranked Division 3 school team a good run for.

Just missed winning by two points, so a real close race there.

But really happy with the

performance overall.

It seems to me the girls team is kind of getting primed and ready for maybe to make a splash in the conference this year, aren't they?

I think the opportunity is there.

There's still some really strong schools.

Lancaster is great.

Fletcher is really good.

Dodge Point is strong as always.

You know, we've been saying this for a couple of years now.

We have talent on the girls team.

It was just a matter of getting healthy, putting it all together.

And I don't think we've quite hit hit that stride yet.

We've had some good individual performances, but I really want to see what this team is capable of.

If we can put it all together

at coach of the Richland Center, Ithaca cross country teams, Eric Minden, there'll be an action on Saturday at the River Valley invite.

Welcome back to Richland Center High School.

Platteville has just completed a three set sweep over Richland Center, which has been somewhat rare through the years.

So Hornets and Platteville have matched up in a lot of good wins.

But Platteville, the defending champions, looking like they're pretty primed and going to try to repeat that championship one a year ago.

And all of the matches, all of the sets in a match were closed tonight.

25-23, the final in the third.

Platteville getting the win led by three kills from Rihanna Dye and two kills from Avery Richard.

Mia Hoosier has an ace which proved crucial as well.

For the Hornets, Kylie Burns with a kill and a block, a kill for J.C.

Gander, Bayley Wirtz had a kill and Adeline Wirtz with an ace on the way for Richland Center who led this one late in the contest but couldn't get it done.

23-22 they were up and Platteville scored the last

three points of the set to win it.

The other big turnaround, what a difference just a few moments make in volleyball sometimes.

You go from being on top of the world to the other end of the spectrum.

And that was the case tonight as Richland Center built a nine point lead.

They did that twice once at 13 to four and the other time at 16 to seven.

And they just looked like they could do no wrong.

They were playing together, but Platteville

didn't get shook and came back all the way to tie it, outscoring Richmond Center 18-3 in that first set to win it, 25-19.

In the second set, Flatville taking the lead early on, which they would not relinquish, the Hornets did get close, kept it going, got within three points at 21-18, also at 22-19, got within two at 22-20 before losing it, 25-20.

Hornets and battled back each time tonight, but just couldn't not didn't have enough to get over the top Again playing with one injured player that was able to get cleared to play tonight and another player a shutter not playing tonight and not making excuses Platteville is a good team the Hornets though were just a little bit out of sync as they had to change their rotation somewhat tonight and Go with a different setting combination.

So that was part of the Hornet dilemma especially maybe in that second set but they're able to

Continue on and you know you got look at the positive to they gave some opportunities to other players That are worked into the rotation and it looks to me like Bristol Center has really good depth here tonight as they're able to Get it done with you know some younger players as well competing at you know a couple of points they had a Freshman and a sophomore Leading the way out there, so you got to take those things into consideration and

Use it as a positive as you look down the road.

Our next action in volleyball will feature these hornets.

They'll be on the road at River Valley on Tuesday night.

And what we anticipate will be a nice match.

Platteville with its next match will be at home against Dodgeville.

That is next week on Tuesday night as well.

Dodgeville with a match tonight.

And let's see, did we get a final on that one?

I know Lancaster and company were playing at River Valley.

We'll check that final scoreboard for the last time here tonight.

That was Lancaster at River Valley.

And River Valley wins three sets to none.

Highland wins three to two over Potosi.

Was he costuban?

Three-nothing against Kickapoo.

Gladville Lancaster, three-nothing over Richland Center in soccer.

Here's to Bundball!

Fight!

Well, hello.

Welcome to Champion's Pavilion, Curly Stadium.

It is sun-drenched.

It is beautiful.

Actually, as a matter of fact, one might even say,

it's nice 69 degrees sunny winds from the east at around six miles per hour again we have no clouds in the sky to be seen from our perch here in champions pavilion the dignitaries making their way on in for the VIP experience here once again for man it's got to be going on 20 years or so now that we've been doing the VIP

pavilion area here and of course it's gotten upgrades as the years have gone along but if you have not experienced the VIP experience here at Curly Stadium we encourage you to contact the central ticket office and they can go ahead and get you all set with everything that you need to get access to the great food provided here by dining services along with the beverages that are for partaking and yes there are

alcoholic beverages for those who wish to enjoy that but water Coca-Cola products of course here for those of us who have responsibilities here for the next few hours.

We've got an exciting 60 minutes to lead up to kickoff here for today.

Let's get right to it.

Michigan Tech kicked off the season in week zero last week at Bemidji State University and those of you who of course got a chance to listen to it know that things were going in the Huskies favor for

a fair amount of time and then the fourth quarter came along and they started a tip closer towards the home team.

But Michigan Tech did get the scoring started as Elliot Larner who got the start and took every quarterback snap on Thursday night last week.

He scored an 11 yard run finishing off an eight play 75 yard drive with the opening drive of the game in 331 and the Huskies extra point made it seven to nothing.

However, but Magistrate did respond.

Lucas Peterson caught a 19 yard pass from Bert McCannitch.

Their extra point also good eight

plays 87 yards in three minutes and 38 seconds.

Huskies would respond once again in the first quarter.

Nick Nora with a couple of catches on the drive including a 26 yarder from Larner a six play drive 60 yards in 309.

The extra point though was no good.

That would actually become a factor later on in the game which we'll get to 13 to 7.

The Beavers would get the next scoring

drive and it was a six play 72 yard drive in three minutes and 47 seconds.

Connor Carver ran one in from one yard out there.

Extra point was good.

So the midget state would take the lead.

14 to 13 Huskies would answer Abram Larner gets a 36 yard pass from Nick Nora a seven play drive 65 yards and 307 that extra point was good It was 20 to 14 Huskies would tack on at the end of the first half Avery Kacharski would kick a 36 yard field goal five plays 29 yards in a minute 37 Huskies entered the break 23 to 14

Michigan Tech would get the only score of the third quarter.

Elliott Larner would get a second touchdown run of the day.

It was a long drive for the Huskies.

12 plays 56 yards, eight minutes and one second off the clock.

Coaching staff decided that with the defense being a bit tired, it was probably the best opportunity they would have to regain that point missed.

So they went for two.

They succeeded.

Abram Larner gets the catch and it was 31 to 14.

Then the comeback would start.

Kyle Nadler kicks a 29 yard field goal in a 13 play 64 yard drive in six minutes and 39 seconds 11 38 to go fourth quarter It's 31 17 Huskies would have a fumble at the mesh point of a read option gives Bemidji State a short field They would convert Connor Carver one yard out five plays 34 yards in 227 and just like that.

It is 31 23 extra point pending Which was no good

And that is key for Bemidji State because they would get the next score of the game.

Lucas Peterson, third try was the charm, Bert McCannitch, and the Beavers run the same play a third time.

Lucas Peterson catches from 26 yards, 11 plays, 75 yards and 506.

It's 31-29 with 41 seconds to go.

That meant Bemidji State needed to go for two.

Huskies were able to knock it away.

Jamison Stamps gets his hand on one across the middle, knocks it down, and the Huskies escape with the victory.

one to 29.

on the day.

Larner, again, who took every snap for the Huskies, was 14 of 22 passing 153 yards and a touchdown.

Also ran 14 times for 64 yards and two scores.

Jake Roof, 17 carries, 78 yards and he added a couple of catches as well for 10 yards.

Nick Nora was just under 100 yards receiving and the Huskies get the victory.

For Midwestern State, they opened a non-conference game at home Memorial Stadium, the host.

and it was Missouri Southern State, who was their opponent.

And Missouri Southern gets on the board first.

Asher Huffman, 43 yard field goal.

Then later on in the first quarter, Isaiah Green, a long pass from Tillman Martin.

But here's where the things changed.

On that extra point attempt, it was actually blocked.

And Ethan Dishman from Midwestern State returns it 88 yards for two.

and then things went Midwestern State's way after that.

Caden Brown runs one in after a six play drive.

Scoring is knotted at nine.

Caden Brown finds Tyler Brown for 62 yards, a single play there, and it's 16 to nine.

Jaden Coulter runs one in from one yard on a 13 play 81 yard drive.

It's 23 to nine.

Dalton Bailey, a 16 yard reception from Caden Brown.

It's 30 to nine as we are in the third quarter.

Fourth quarter, Missouri Southern gets Isaiah Green with another touchdown catch from Tillman Martin.

It's 30 to 16.

The comeback attempt continues.

Messiah Smith, a two yard run.

with seven eleven to go it was a one-score game thirty to twenty three but the mustangs were able to hold on and finish with that same score head coach of the miss uh... midwestern state mustangs rich renner talk this week on the stang gang podcast about his team's ability to overcome some of those early jitters

There was still, you know what I mean, just that first game jitters and first game nervousness and what have you.

I just think that once we settled down as an offense, you know, having a new quarterback with Caden Brown.

behind the helm and as well as defensively with the new playcaller behind there.

I think that once we settled down a little bit and got that spark on that block, it really kind of just woke us up a little bit and we started to take off and it was nice to see.

I don't think there was a panic on the sideline.

I didn't feel the panic.

I didn't feel like that, you know, here we go or whatever, you know, I didn't feel that.

I felt like we all knew that

even being down 10 to nothing that we were still going to be able to come back and and make this a game and how quickly we did from the two points that we got from the block.

So now it's nine to two.

Then we obviously get the ball and and go down and score.

And now it's nine to nine.

You know what I mean?

And now it's a new ball game and it's like you're resetting zero to zero again.

And and then, you know, obviously we just kept, you know, finally getting our niche and getting our groove.

And I think that's what we needed.

We just needed, you know, some positivity, some some excitement, some

you know playmaking ability and guys making plays and that's that's the name of the game and so once that happened it just kind of sparked the whole team and in all phases

There was head coach rich renner on the stand gang podcast.

We'll hear more from him about the Huskies Coming up later on in our pregame show, but I gotta love the southern drawl to it's how you know You're playing somebody that you haven't played in a long time somebody from a different conference you get rich renner in that Texas Accent he's got going on there.

Love that But his quarterback Caden Brown was fantastic 32 of 38 390 yards and two touchdowns.

He also added 14 yards and a touchdown

on the ground.

Tyler Brown finished with a team high and game high 85 yards receiving, but it was Dominic Cox who had 10 receptions to lead the team in that category.

They spread it out to 10 different receivers.

So let's look back at what happened last week between both the Huskies and Beavers and Missouri Southern and Midwestern state.

When we come back, we'll take a little look back at what happened earlier this week in the GLIAC.

Huskies live tailgate show from champion civilian Huskies getting ready out on the field now wearing the all blacks black helmets jerseys pants white numerals and some white and gold trim out there getting their stretches going the Mustangs in the white uniforms with the crimson numerals and pants they've got white helmets out there as well

Well, a couple of games have already gotten underway in the GLIAC here this week.

That includes Grand Valley State, who gave up the first score of the game on a fumble.

Phineas Allen of West Texas A&M takes 120 yards to give A&M a 7-0 lead at Lubbers Stadium.

But then the Lakers went ahead and scored the next 56 points of the game leading into the fourth quarter.

A late touchdown for West Texas A&M.

made the final score 56 to 14 in the game.

Andrew Schuster didn't need to do a lot for the Lakers.

10 of 15, 283 yards, five touchdowns.

And it was Kellen Russell-Dixon who ran for 144 and two scores.

Brady Drogish with 73 more on the ground for Grand Valley State.

Laker head coach Scott Wooster talked about his team's performance on their post game interviews courtesy of the Grand Valley Lakers.

Proud as heck of the response.

You can't start a football game any worse than we did.

Get the pass batted, get the swing padded, scoop and score.

Defense plays great, three and out, three and out.

Got the offenses back there early.

Trying to push the ball down the field a little bit.

have some trouble with protection.

And then Coach Ryan Hart and I just said, hey, let's see if they can defend the A-gaps.

And got the ball down the rails.

Kel, phenomenal job, popped an A-gap power out of there, and kind of got the ball rolling, so to speak.

But then just the synergy of this win, six turnovers, four interceptions, four interceptions, all led to touchdowns.

six total turnovers with two fourth down stops.

Isaac's poop stop on the fourth down was phenomenal.

Give a shout out to Coach Reardon.

That's why he's on our staff.

Great game management, little help at the end there.

We got the time out.

We got the two for one going into the half.

Got another touchdown there.

But the synergy going back and forth offense defense was phenomenal.

And then yeah, just

Had trouble running the football in the past couple of years and established a line of scrivige.

You know, did a great job with our explosive response.

We talked about it all week.

They're going to get some plays.

They got down in the red zone a couple of times.

And Troy on the one, not even a field goal attempt, right?

We got the ball back.

So it's not just a four point play.

It's a seven point play.

Get the ball back for our offense.

So incredible offense, defense, defense.

Everyone had each other's back.

And when you love and you

I believe in the guy next to you.

That's what you see out there.

So really, really proud head coach tonight, proud coach tonight.

That was Grand Valley State head coach Scott Wooster talking post game audio courtesy of the Grand Valley State Lakers.

Again, Lakers winning big at home 56-14 over West Texas A&M.

Speaking of a big win, Wayne State was just looking for any win at this point.

They have a brand new head coach.

Terrence Isaac Sr.

has taken over for Tyrone Wheatley after a few years of underperformance by the Warriors and unfortunately...

for Wayne State.

Things did not go much better at Tom Adams Field for their season opener.

Northwood scores a minute and 45 seconds or 35 seconds rather into the game and the foot never came off the gas pedal.

They scored 14 in the first, 28 in the second, 10 more in the third on their way to a 52 to nothing victory over Wayne State.

Wayne State on the day had 12 first downs could only run for 17 yards total while giving up.

291 on the ground.

The passing attack unfortunately not that effective either.

19 of 36 were 170 yards and they were out-possessed by 34-18 margin to 25-42.

Head Coach Terrence Isaac Sr.

had this to say courtesy of Wayne State Athletics.

Man, we could never get going.

Mistakes here, mistakes there.

um we were just a step slower today but you know i take full responsibility for it that's on me uh i have to do a better job and i will

uh a little more

I guess short in terms of the answers from Wayne State in comparison to Grand Valley State and certainly when things don't go your way like they did for the Warriors on Thursday night, not necessarily a lot you can say when that's the result, but they'll go back to work.

Certainly a lot of work to do with Wayne State as again, they've struggled the last handful of years and we're picked last in the preseason poll in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference this season.

Some work to do for Terrence Isaac Sr., but the Warriors do believe that he is the right man for the job who's going to get them where they need to be in the future.

So, Warriors suffer a pretty good size loss on Thursday.

Last night, number one, Ferris State got their home opener at Top Taggart Field, and they took on NE 10 Faux Bentley, and it was Ferris State.

with their 32nd straight win, 38-3, never really in doubt at Top Tiger Field for the top ranked Ferris State Bulldogs.

So those are some of the games that have already happened in GLIAC play here this week.

We'll talk more around the GLIAC, including some of the results you may have missed from last week.

Game still on the schedule for this week, and our players of the week all coming up during our Kirkish furniture.

countdown to kickoff.

We'll take another time out on the Range Bank Huskies live tailgate show.

And when we come back, we'll talk some of the other Michigan Tech athletic events going on in the world of Michigan Tech.

We are about 40 minutes away from kickoff between the Michigan Tech Huskies and the Midwestern State Mustangs, a rematch of the 2022 game that took place down in Wichita Falls, Texas.

We'll touch on that game a little bit more coming up in just a little bit on our coverage.

First, more on the Michigan Tech.

athletic department plenty going on here as we are now officially into the month of September and Michigan Tech volleyball seems to have a habit of playing five game sets.

There's more of them.

on the schedule after last Thursday's game that was leading into our Husky football broadcast went five sets against Minnesota Duluth.

They continued more the same at the Mountain Lion Classic in Colorado Springs, Colorado this week.

On Thursday they took on the host University of Colorado, Colorado Springs.

It was a 3-2 win for the host squad.

Huskies lose the first set 27-25.

dropped the second one 25-13 before rallying 25-23, 25-21 before finally succumbing 15-10.

Huskies would go five sets in their first matchup on Friday against St.

Edwards, winning 25-15, then losing the next two 25-18 and 25-16 before a marathon fourth set goes the Huskies way 29-27, forces the fifth and deciding set where Michigan Tech wins 15-8.

And then it was the hard rockers of South Dakota Mines in the second game yesterday.

Mines takes a 25-22 first set lead.

Huskies take the next two, 25-19, 25-21 before Mines ties things up at 25-20.

And then when the fifth and final set, 17-15 to take it over the Huskies, three sets to two.

Huskies will play against Midwestern State today at 1.30.

And then we'll have Davenport to open GLIAC play.

on Friday, the current record, at three and four for the Michigan Tech Huskies.

Michigan Tech soccer started their season on the home turf last weekend, losing to Minnesota to Luth 2-0 and St.

Cloud 3-0.

Then went on the road at Northwood and did score their first goal of the season, but did fall to Northwood 3-1.

They'll take on Cedarville at 2.30 here today.

Michigan Tech women's head coach.

Melissa Kuhar had this to say about her team's performance and leading into this weekend's matches.

The weekend was tough in terms of just I felt like we didn't play 100 percent.

our style of soccer in our game.

I think the first half on Friday didn't play well, watching that film right now.

So it's tough to look at it because it's just not who we are in our style.

But then put some good time in that second half and then again on Sunday.

We just got to find that final thing to work in the final third to make goals happen.

But they're coming.

It's, again, we're not at our peak.

We're nowhere close.

So we'll get there.

We're going to move some people just a little bit around, try some different things.

We're still in that process of trying to try things out and figure out what works, who works well together.

That's a big one.

Who maybe can help us create more in the attacking side of the ball.

It's just kind of moving people up the field.

You can go take a defender and move them into the midfield, and it might really drastically change how we play or how we look.

It's nothing crazy.

You're not going to see a field player

goal, I promise you that.

But we're going to try some different things.

And again, we gave up five goals.

We didn't win a game.

We didn't score a goal.

Something's got to change.

And now is the time to kind of tinker with it before we head into a very hard opening conference weekend with Sagna on GV.

And then Cedarville, I mean, they, you know, they went and they lost to GV, you know, three to one, but GV is GV.

But Cedarville is a national tournament team, you know, throughout the last couple years and brought back a lot of their production in terms of the goal scored and stuff.

So going to be a tough team and at home for them, right?

And it's kind of a toss-up, right?

Like, we got to just go out there and try to compete and do what we can.

And I think we can come out of the weekend with two wins.

Well unfortunately for Coach Cujar again they did drop Thursday night's game but a chance to go one and one against Cedarville this afternoon and again 2-30 to start time for that.

Then they'll be back at home taking on those two tough opponents she referred to.

Saginaw Valley on Friday.

Grand Valley on Sunday.

That'll be opening up GLIAC play here at Curly Stadium.

Athletics director Dr. Suzanne Sanregret joining us here at the Champions Pavilion.

I guess no offense, of course, to soccer, but the first big home event here for Michigan Tech Athletics here this season.

Volleyball did get things kind of touched off a little bit earlier, but just kind of great to get everything back and rolling again.

I think we kind of eased into it with the two smaller crowd sports getting off first, but really excited for today.

Hopefully a great crowd.

Beautiful weather, perfect football day.

excited to see the Huskies play at home.

Yeah, it's going to be a great atmosphere here.

I see that the stands already starting to fill out.

Make sure you bring your sunscreen because yeah, very few clouds out there.

Temperatures supposed to get up into the upper 70s, but you're right.

It's a perfect day for football and you know those things don't always happen and we do have a couple of November kickoffs here at Curly Stadium.

So enjoy it while you can.

That's for sure.

Just really excited to get football going here at the community and our student turnout should be pretty good.

Lots of events happening this football season surrounding the KD reunion and all football class reunion.

We also have Hall of Fame this fall.

So a lot of special events happening at football and hockey games throughout football.

Yeah, the Hall of Fame inductees were just announced earlier this week.

That's going to take place mid-October for those inductions.

Yeah, mid-October.

I think October 6th.

17 that weekend, so should be some great events.

to celebrate their legacies of those Hall of Fame inductees.

Absolutely.

There are 10 of them that are going to get their names enshrined at Michigan Tech for their athletic achievements and their contributions to the athletic department because it's not always what you did on the field or on the playing surface.

But some of the things that you've done in the backgrounds, Darcy Way, of course, is the prime example of that.

People might look at his career numbers as a hockey player and be like, why is he in the Hall of Fame?

But I mean, he's done so much for this program in the 30 plus years since graduation.

Oh, absolutely.

We have a lot of alumni and folks that have gone above and beyond their duties.

And, you know, Darcy's been an incredible ambassador for all of our athletic programs throughout his time and tenure and a great way to honor him.

You know, I think we also revamped kind of how our selection goes, where we're really trying to have three of our 10B pioneers or those that have come before.

Maybe we had all the video and stat packages and things to track success.

So we're really trying to evaluate that we didn't miss anyone from the pre-1980 era, where we just didn't have the data like we do post-1980.

And I think that change in how we select has really helped a lot in our committee and the work that they're doing to make sure we look back in history to see who we've missed.

You think about offensive linemen back in the 50, 60, 70s, there weren't stats to track how good they were.

So really trying to dig in and figure out the history of some of those individuals and make sure that we honor them.

There's also in hockey, for example, with Wayne Weller, national championship teams.

And when you have a national championship team, you have a lot of contributors.

And maybe stats aren't quite there, but Wayne was an incredible.

contributor to those national championship teams so to bring him back and then.

You know, more recently, Lucida Nasik, I mean, one of the most outstanding players in women's basketball history in terms of the most success that program has ever seen, and she was an integral part of it.

So really excited to have so many people back.

Sarah Nash, Mike Coran, there's just so many that we get to celebrate.

Deidre Irwin, Olympian, Olympian, two-time Olympian, and really excited.

Great histories, great representation of our student athletes and what they've done.

not just student athletes but you know supporters of our program.

Absolutely one of those big supporters of Michigan Tech athletics and pardon me if I'm wrong I think was a Hall of Famer as well.

We lost earlier this year in Bill Steele.

He was a great contributor both to hockey programs and athletic programs as a whole.

Yeah correct and and Jerry McGinnis as well so yeah Hall of Fame is really one of my most favorite times probably my favorite event just because it's

It's very emotional.

It's all encompassing of everything Michigan Tech means, not only when those inductees were students, athletes, and coaches, et cetera, but what they have done with their degree and what athletics has done for them beyond their graduation from Michigan Tech.

So it's pretty special time.

Yeah, and so many of them have really looked back so fondly at this time that they do donate back.

They contribute time and money and...

all kinds of resources for these student athletes and the students across the university.

It's a great way for them to stay involved with it and because the landscape is ever-changing in college athletics, if somebody wants to get in and contribute to athletics in any capacity, how do they go about doing so?

Just connect with me.

Email me, give me a call.

Happy to get you involved.

We have a lot of projects going on, big and small, a whole variety of...

of needs that we have, and I'm pretty sure we can match a donor's intent with something that we have going on.

So connect with me.

We'd love to have it.

And you mentioned it, the changing landscape.

It's important more than ever now that we have a lot of people helping us out.

And that's at every institution across the country.

We're all seeing the same things and trying to support our student athletes and remain relevant and compete for championships.

Absolutely.

And you can contact Suzanne or any of the Michigan Tech Athletics staff.

They'll find a way to get involved with that or buy 50-50 raffle tickets.

I know our cross-country team is out there selling 50-50 tickets right now.

So go get some 50-50 raffle tickets, support athletics, any way you can.

And Suzanne, thanks for taking a few minutes out of your very busy schedule to come and talk to us here on Mix 93.

Yeah, thank you.

And I would all add not just 50-50, but even just buying a ticket and attending.

That helps support our athletes and our programs.

Thanks and go Huskies.

Absolutely.

Now for the call of the game, here is the voice of Michigan Tech football, Josh Yilatelo!

Welcome to the press box here at Curly Stadium at Michigan Tech Huskies and Midwestern State Mustangs getting ready for the 2026 edition of the home and home series.

And my name is Josh, he'll tell you this is the Kirkish furniture countdown to kick off.

We're getting ever closer to the start of this home opener here.

But again, a beautiful sunny, curly stadium today.

Very little wispy clouds may be off in the distance temperatures right now around 70 degrees, but supposed to get into the 70s.

And we do encourage you to bring sunscreen if you're planning on coming on out here because it is bright and sunny.

Huskies hope that is.

the way that the game finishes for them here today.

It was 97 degrees down in Wichita Falls, Texas at 7 PM when the Huskies and the Midwestern state Broncos kicked off back in 2022.

Huskies got the first scores of that day.

Brandon Michelac catches a 43 yard touchdown from Will Ark in the start of the second quarter was an 11 play 91 yard drive for the.

Huskies 6 minutes 15 seconds taken off the clock there and it was seven to nothing.

Huskies would get deep.

second to score the game as well.

Darius Willis, pretty sure.

I could have been the touchdown pass right there.

Will Arthur Darius Willis, 11 yards, three plays, 17 yards.

Huskies got a short field and capitalized to make it 14 to nothing.

Midwestern State will get the final score in the first half.

Dylan Sterling Cole ran one in from just one yard out.

12 plays, 73 yards in five minutes, 24 seconds, and it was 14 to seven.

Huskies going into the break.

got the only score of the third quarter.

12 yard touchdown carry.

He played 74 yard drive in four minutes and five seconds.

Huskies in command 21 to seven.

Fourth quarter things would change a little bit in Midwestern states.

Dylan Sterling Cole finds Terence Norman.

He goes 35 yards on a three play in 70 yard drive and less than one minute.

It was 21-14 with 8-30 to go in the game.

Midwestern State would tie it with 43 seconds to go.

Sterling Cole finds Jamarzie Arby for 13 yards, eight plays, 50 yards, two minutes, 29 seconds were taken off the clock.

But it was 21-21.

Huskies had the football.

They had good field position.

And then the unfortunate happened.

And it really wasn't much else I could say.

52 yards Malik Owens takes it to the house.

The actual point was good with 12 seconds to go.

The Huskies had the game tied.

We're in position to potentially get a go ahead score in the final minute of the game.

And then pressure just...

coming right through the middle as you would expect it would on a screen pass.

You know your offensive line kind of lets those guys go to set up blocks downfield for the screen pass and Will had to try to throw one off to the right side towards Will Morano and it was just perfectly read by Malik Owens.

There was nobody who was going to catch him and the Huskies unfortunately lose that game in front of a raucous crowd at Memorial Stadium 28.

to 21, Midwestern State scores 21 in the fourth quarter to win that game.

So the Huskies have some revenge to unleash here today, and they will try to do so in about 20 minutes as Midwestern State has traveled all the way from North Texas to the upper reaches of Upper Michigan.

Welcome back to the Kirkish Furniture Countdown to kick off Huskies and Mustangs non-conference football coming your way here in just a little bit.

First let's take a look around the Gliac and for those games and final scores you may have missed from Week Zero Grand Valley State 38-10 over Charleston.

Northern Michigan dropped at Minnesota State Moorhead 41 to 19.

Saginaw Valley takes care of business at home 48 to 24 over McHenry, Ferris State 42, Pittsburgh State 14, then on Saturday it was Davenport 32, Gannon 20, and Roosevelt goes all the way over to Bridgeview, Illinois, Chicago State and wins 44 to 28.

In the tailgate we did touch on the final scores.

Northwood defeating Wayne State 52 to nothing on Thursday.

Grand Valley State over West Texas A&M 56 to 14 and Ferris State 38-3 over Bentley.

But before we get too far let's go ahead and tell you the players of the week in the conference as named by the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.

Cephas Harris shattering the single game rushing record for Davenport on Saturday in their win.

He set the previous record for

and last year's finale against Ferris State.

But last Saturday, rushed for 351 yards on 26 carries, scoring three touchdowns at a 10 yard run to open the scoring.

Went 75 yards in the first play of the third.

Just over 10 minutes later in 84 yard touchdown to increase that lead 27-7.

Rushing total tops of any player week zero throughout the NCAA.

Next closest came from Adams State at 282.

So if you include the 185.

against the Bulldogs last year.

536 yards in the last two games for Cephas Harris.

He is the offensive player of the week.

Defensive player of the week goes to Derrick Whaley of Roosevelt.

Two interceptions or two takeaways and they went over Chicago State.

The grad student flipped the field in the third on a 38 yard.

return on a fumble recovery, putting the Roosevelt Lakers deep in Cougar territory.

Then he raced all hopes of a Chicago State comeback with the interception in the fourth quarter to set up Roosevelt's final touchdown of the game.

Finished with five record tackles and a handful of others on gang tackles.

Derek Whaley of Roosevelt, defensive player of the week.

Special teams player of the week goes to Tegan Linderink of Saginaw Valley State.

Second time in his career he's been honored with that award.

Welcome back here to Curly Stadium.

Huskies and Mustangs getting ready for non-conference Division 2 football here in just a little bit.

Head coach of the Mustangs, Rich Renner was on the Stank Gang podcast earlier this week and he talked to the host a little bit about his biggest concerns with the Michigan Tech Huskies.

Probably a little bit ahead of us in that chat.

Let's go ahead and get that re-queued here as it backed itself up.

And eventually we'll get

it.

The challenge is, is the quarterback, the quarterback's very athletic, loves to run the football and can throw it.

You know, he's, he's, he's a lot like Caden Brown that we have.

So obviously with us, you know.

going against Caden Brown definitely helps, but he's very, very talented.

Tough kid, plays hard and, like I said, is a really good gamer, I would say.

This team does not make mistakes.

They're well-coached.

They play hard.

They're physical.

And they've had success over the last three or four years that that head coach has been there.

And since he's been there, they've had success.

And so they're a very good, well

coached well organized program and and obviously you know us are still trying to find our way and in the sense of our identity and finding us you know and just improving so you know obviously you know we're not hitting on all cylinders where you know I think they're probably a little bit ahead of us in that in that aspect and and so we've got to you know obviously come out and play our best game.

There you have the head coach Rich Renner Stangang podcast earlier this week talking about his biggest concerns with Michigan Tech and you know talk about the Huskies running game as being a big concern for them as

well.

overly big, but they do a great job because they're well coached in the schemes that they play with their tight ends and try to get gap schemes that they try to open the gaps and try to get you outnumbered.

And again, if they run hard, so if you miss a tackle, obviously they're going to get those cloud of dust yards that you talk about those hidden yardage.

And so we've got to be great tacklers.

We've got to be able to get off blocks.

We've got to be able to get lined up.

We've got to be able to match the physicality defensively that they have.

And then they're going to zone pressure us and mix the coverages up against our offense, you know what I mean?

And so we've got to be able to pick up all the zone pressure ballets as well as be able to break tackles and use our speed, which I feel is our advantage, you know what I mean, against them.

Because I wouldn't say they're slow, but they're not.

I don't know if they're as fast as our receivers are.

And so again, we've got to be able to catch the ball.

We've got to be able to break tackles.

And we've got to be able to put the ball in the end zone.

There is Rich Renner talking again on the Stang Gang Podcast earlier this week about the...

Michigan Tech Huskies the Mustangs have finished the last couple of seasons three and eight last year three and six in the LSC four and seven back in 24 and a three and six record there in that Lone Star Conference four and six the prior year at three and five in conference so certainly a building process that Ridge Renner is trying to go through to establish his team to be the identity that he wants it to be.

Well, let's move on in our pregame show here for our player profile.

This week it features senior defensive back Dakota Blackwell.

Dakota is...

from South Lion, Michigan.

And of course, the Blackwell name is one that the Huskies certainly know with his brother Braxton having played here at Michigan Tech in the defensive backfield as well.

And I asked Dakota what it was about Michigan Tech that brought him to the Huskies

with my brother.

And I always, you know, looked up to my brother.

And ever since I was just a little kid, I was always looked up to him and kind of just led me to it.

And I always came to his games and stuff like that and just always just looking up

to my brother and this coaching staff, Coach Thomas.

Little backstory, my brother played with Coach Thomas' dad.

He was a coach at Southline, and we just had that family connection.

So, all to me, just came here, trusted the coaching staff, trusted Coach Thomas.

Yeah.

Well, you've switched from corner to safety here really over the last couple of years.

What's that transition been like for you?

I praise Coach Donnelly so much.

I love him.

Just trusted the process, trusted him.

And just extra meetings before making that transition in the fall.

And yeah, ultimately, it just is a real moment because my brother played safety too.

So, you know, just a blessing and yeah.

Yeah,

has Braxton kind of been like almost an extra coach for you in some ways because he did play obviously in coach Thomas's system as

well.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

So yeah, I Definitely the summer I talked to him about, you know, just the last his last season his senior year and just told me just to have fun and just play with your head on fire and Just always got that chip on your shoulder, you know Academically, what are you studying and what do you hope to do?

I'm studying sports and fitness management and ultimately I want to be an athletic director at my high school or any high school.

I see that you

been involved with

Special Olympics what does that mean to you and how did you get involved with that?

Yeah so definitely in high school I was just you know always just like being around people and helping people and one of my teachers was like hey Dakota you want to do this and I was like sure yeah obviously I love helping people and that just gave me another extra like push and yeah I just loved.

helping kids and just being around people.

Other than your brother obviously we talked about him a little bit but who have you relied on as mentors to help bring you along to where you're at today?

I would definitely say the alumni like Michael Bates, Michael Wilson, I can keep going down the list you know all those guys I looked up to I was all I was behind all those guys and they kind of just pushed me definitely in the spring and then the fall and just you know

led to me to the player I am today.

So when you're not playing football, what are some of the interests that you have outside of that?

I definitely like going on walks, like being in the water and playing video games.

Any shout outs you want to give to anybody here that helped you get where you're at?

Shout out to God for sure.

Then I'll shout out to my brother and my...

Well there was Dakota Blackwell, the...

audio ending a little bit abruptly there.

A couple tackles so far for Dakota this season.

He'll be starting at the safety position alongside Jaden Bolden in the Husky defense a little bit later on here today.

Coyne Toss will be coming up for you soon along with our national anthem will be headed up.

Back here on the Kirkish furniture countdown to kickoff time for our conversation with head coach Den Metlach as we get ready for Michigan Tech and Midwestern State and we look back to last week and of course coach Metlach is a quarterback guy, played quarterback, it's quarterback's coach here at Michigan Tech and asked him his thoughts on the development and performance of Elliott Larner last week

at Bemidji.

It's just more of an awareness thing I think of those four

off-sides penalties we had.

One of them was a legit jump.

The other ones were just lining up in the neutral zone.

So being aware of where you're at, even in a hectic moment.

two of those came in a two minute drill for them, getting lined up fast and just having an awareness of where you're at and relationship to the football and whatnot is something that we talk about all the time.

But at the same time, we want those guys getting off the ball so they're ready to trigger and it happens.

Obviously, you don't want it to happen at that point in the game.

But we've got to get it fixed.

Our guys got to be able to hold their water and understand that teams are going to do that.

We're going to see it again this week with the hard counts and getting lined up fast, trying to get free five yards or even worse.

free opportunities to throw vertical ball and try to make a big chunk.

So, you know, we practice against our guys every week.

They see it every week, but it's a heat of the moment thing.

You got to be able to have some discipline and stay where you're supposed to be.

Last week, Elliot got the start after an off season of working on the mechanics and everything we talked about in the preseason interview.

Last week, when you look back at the film, anything that kind of stood out about how he performed?

Yeah, I thought he played really well, managed the game well right up till the very end, obviously with the turnover, but against that team to do

what he did and get the ball to as many people as he did.

I thought that was a very positive thing.

There's still some things we're working on, you know, whether we're talking about Elliott or AB throughout the week, whether it be their footwork in the past game or, you know, where the ball's coming out with their arm slot and so on and so forth.

So there's always things that we're working on tinkering with, if you will.

But that's probably the one part of Elliott's game that after one game looking at

that needs to get more consistent.

Those short throws need to be automatics and a lot of times what's letting him down are his feet just not being in a spot to throw the ball.

So working on his drops, getting to a rhythm when he's throwing it, whether it's a five yard ball or a 40 yard one.

And obviously that anticipation of having an idea where you're going before the ball is even snapped will help him.

So he'll get better from it.

Maybe last week was

more of a downhill running style game there where Jake got an opportunity a little bit more, but it seemed as though that running attack was able to find some footing.

Yeah, for sure.

I thought our offense line played really well.

I think I talked to you about this after the game last week that.

I felt like on that drive where we did have the turnover, just looking at the body language of their sideline and the first two downs before the turnover, I think it was two runs for 16 yards or whatever it was.

So I felt like we were getting to the point where those guys up front were starting to lay on them a little bit.

Obviously, we gave them new life when we put it on the ground and the game was completely different at that point.

But I felt like throughout the game,

It was body blow after body blow in terms of what our own line was doing in the tight ends and Jake running the way he did.

Obviously, you add in the other skill guys that were part of the running game.

But we got to the point where we at least felt like we were in a position to put them away and do it how we want to do it, establishing the run and finishing it that way.

But it didn't happen.

But overall, I was happy with how those guys up front played.

Yeah, defensively, outside of a couple of big plays, I think you probably established the way that you wanted to play.

You know, we had some issues in the back end in the first half, and they got behind us way too many times.

And that's stuff that Coach Thomas and Coach Donnelly and the rest of the crew are trying to get fixed and worked on this week.

You know, the positive part about it is it's correctable mistakes.

You know, it's a communication thing.

The guys got to be able to talk and who's getting passed off to what and so on, just based off of alignment and what their routes are doing.

So we'll get better from that.

But I felt like they got a couple of chunk runs, but I didn't feel like it was, you know, two years ago when we were out there when they took over.

And I thought their offense line was good.

So, you know, give them credit to that part.

But for our guys, hold up in the box the way they did.

You know, you take away some of those throws that we talked about, and then the Q scrambles on the third and fourth and longs.

They were in pretty good shape from that standpoint.

Midwestern State, they've got a new head coach and coach Renner

here after a long time head coach moved on.

What have you seen differently from what coach Renner is doing now compared to what we saw four years

ago?

To be honest with you, I didn't even look at the game four years ago.

I remember how it ended, obviously.

That made that trip a little bit longer to come home.

But the one thing that we've seen in the last two years watching their film, obviously, I'm an offense.

I want to spread you out, get their athletes in space.

Transfer Q and that's dynamic, you know reminds me a little bit of Mason McKenzie from Saginaw.

He's good from the pocket even better when he gets flushed and Can go, you know make plays that are off-script, you know and talented tailback.

He's another transfer You know from D1 and in and obviously if they can get the numbers in their favor that he's picking and choosing right how many are in the box Are I gonna run it or am I gonna throw it and so we got to be good with that part of it our D line and linebackers that are in the box are gonna have to do a job

not only containing the run, but keeping the quarterback in the pocket where we can get bodies to him so he's not running around all over the place, letting those athletes just run wherever they want.

So why am I hands full on that side?

They want to be up tempo and, you know, so the conditioning is going to come into play at some point as well.

But defensively, I think their box is very similar to what we saw.

Midgy size, athleticism, what they're playing structurally, you know, where I think

We got to get a feel early is what their secondary is like.

You know, they're athletic.

They're not real big, but they can run.

So trying to get our guys freed up with certain concepts or alignments is going to be key for us and just getting a feel for that early.

There's head coach Dan Matlaka in our pregame conversation here on mix 93 WKMJ.

Kirkers furniture countdown to kickoff concluding the coin toss one by the Huskies.

They have elected to defer their.

Possession until the second half, so it'll be Avery Kaczarski.

Set to kick it away from the end where the scoreboard stands.

15 minutes are put on there.

Back to return.

Number six, Lewis Hickman, a 5-8 freshman from Austin, Texas.

Number eight, Jaden Coulter, a 5-8 Redshirt sophomore from Dallas, Texas.

Set to return for Midwestern State.

Huskies set to start on defense here.

as Kacharski lines it up.

Here is the Kirkish Furniture opening, excuse me, the fine line tire opening kickoff and it will be fielded a yard deep in the end zone and he will be wisely told by Coulter to take a knee, that's Lewis Hickman, bobbles the kick a little bit, takes a knee and it will be offense first for the midwesters.

Clock operator, please reset the game clock to 15

minutes.

Midwestern State Bulldogs they will be led by quarterback Caden Brown is a redshirt junior at six foot one one hundred ninety pounds He is a transfer in from Trinity Valley Community College Behind him is the tailback Joseph Dobbs a junior transfer from Baylor University Where's number five?

Four wide receivers to start here for the Mustangs and Brown will take the snap and hand is fake to Dobbs and nearly picked off by Joey Donahue.

This might be a fumble.

Huskies have the football.

And they are awarded the football.

Pierce Miller comes up with it.

They are going to call that a fumble from Caden Brown at least initially here.

Midwestern State might look to challenge this right away.

We'll see though, but Huskies with a turnover on a loose football from Caden Brown, recovered by Pierce Miller and the Huskies.

Offense will come out now at the 12

yard line.

The ruling on the field of a fumble is being challenged.

And as anticipated, it will be challenged by Midwestern State.

It'll be up to the officiating crew today to decide whether or not that initial arm movement was going forward for Brown.

Sure will get several replays on the flow sports camera shots today.

They'll head under the tent here just seven seconds into the game.

This is a big turning point.

Huskies could have a short field and a chance.

to draw first blood early Joey Donahue got his hands up there and knocked the ball away whether or not again Caden Brown's arm was moving forward it looked like he was actually throwing it so I think the ball was going forward this should probably be an incomplete pass that was my initial thought at first but then everybody went diving around the football and the Huskies came up with it

But my initial thought is that it was a forward pass going off to the flat towards the tailback that ended up being knocked away by Joey Donahue and loose on the ground.

After review, the previous play is upheld.

First down, Michigan

Tech.

Wow.

Okay then.

It is Husky football.

Just...

like that.

Midwestern State is also charged with a timeout.

They have two timeouts remaining.

So Michigan Tech will get the football at the Midwestern State 12 yard line.

It's where Elliot Larner will start.

He's getting the second consecutive start here for the Huskies.

Jake Roof will stand in behind him.

He's got Nick Noraslott right wide.

Right is Bryce Kearns who wears number eight.

Tight end in there as well Gabe Popko off to the end of the line two tight ends in there as a matter of fact And it's gonna be Jake Roof on the carry first down to the 10 lowers the shoulders down to about the five-yard line maybe just a touch short They give him the six on the play And it will be second down and about four

from Michigan Tech's offense.

Offensive line across the front left to right goes senior three-time captain Brandon DeVries at left tackle.

Ethan Post at left guard.

Max Nason at center.

Roland Ball at right guard and Matthew Dainan at right tackle.

Nora will now join Abram Larner who spread out wide left and now will bubble around the back.

Fate goes to him.

It goes to Roof and Roof will get stopped a yard or two in the backfield.

Looks like they're going to go back a yard.

Lost of one on the play.

It's going to bring up third down.

Last week, Larner, 153 yards through the air with a passing touchdown.

Two rushing scores.

Good for 64.

Jake Roof at 78 yards on the ground.

20 total touches for the Husky senior tailback from Lawton, Michigan.

Samuel Delgado will join him in the backfield right now.

Roof to the right.

Delgado to the left to receiver stacked to the right and Larner will stand back looking left across the middle and it is nearly intercepted looking for Abram Larner and it was knocked away by the waiting hands of Bryson Lewis a long safety at 6-3 from Dallas Texas Huskies excellent field position not able to convert on it and it will be Avery Kaczarski to try and line up his second field goal of the season.

Just a minute and a half into the game Huskies force a turnover on the first play, but have not mustered anything further and from the left hash and 26 yard field goal for number 26 is no good pushed it too far to the right and Kachersky Cannot convert That'll give the Mustangs a little bit of breath back in after an unfortunate turnover on there and Allow me to introduce the Husky defense

Here for today.

Defensive end Brandon Keele, junior from Metamora.

Nose guard Pierce Miller, senior from Spearfish, South Dakota.

Defensive tackles Nolan Shoppe, junior from Johnson Creek, Wisconsin.

Linebackers Joey Donahue, junior from Traverse City, Michigan.

And Jayce Cook, senior from Madison, Wisconsin, wearing number seven.

And Brown will hand off Dobbs.

Through the A gap there and we'll bully his way ahead.

To the 26 yard line, a gain of six on that play.

And it'll be a no huddle, quickly back to the line for Midwestern State.

Oskis have made one substitution defensively right now.

Freshman Madi Sabaw from Dearborn, Michigan is in at one of the linebacker spots.

Wide out to the left, throw is completed.

Terrence Martin will push the receiver out of bounds.

It's Fabian Baez, Jr.

at six foot three.

Chicago, Illinois, and a first down for Midwestern State.

12-38, counting first quarter, no score here.

Second possession of the game for Midwestern State.

And the play-action fake dump across the middle is completed at the 40-yard line.

Huskies met the receiver.

Baia is right there.

Jamison Stamps put the hit on him instantly but able to hold on and then enough of his momentum pushed him ahead to the 45 yard line and another mustang first down.

Tempo it is.

Handoff goes to Dobbs right up the middle to the 50 and inside Husky territory down to the 49 yard line.

As a tackle made by Pierce Miller and Sabah in there as well for the Huskies, Joe Murano.

Marano

and Hegelstein will each see time at Rover as Brown's pass tipped on the blitzing Chase Cook.

Huskies will make a couple more defensive subs here as Brady Isaacson number 17 will come on in.

Also Zane Schwartz number 49, pair of juniors along the Husky defensive line.

Brown play action.

Another pass.

Tipped in, picked off.

Chase Cook gets the interception.

Badi Sabaw gets the tip.

And Chase Cook at midfield intercepts.

Caden Brown, Huskies with their second turnover of the day defensively.

See if they can make this one pay at the Michigan Tech 49-11-44 to go in the first quarter.

Excellent work there by the Huskies getting hands on the football.

Three different times so far.

Donahue on one, Cook on another and now Cook the beneficiary after the tip by Sabah.

So Larner in the offense will start now with four, make it five wide receivers.

Number two is Antonio Martin.

I believe it's Antonio.

I'll double check on that one in a second here.

Larner scrambling, flushed, stiff arms, looks.

gets outside the pocket and slung down back behind the 40 yard line.

Nobody able to get open for Michigan Tech.

Lot of time for Larner initially, but he started scrambling early.

Anthony Martin, I want to take that back.

Anthony Martin, a freshman from Gilbert, Arizona, is wearing number two today.

and he's got an opportunity here on the second drive of the game to get in with the Huskies fifth wide receiver.

First day in uniform, a first game in uniform for Martin.

Jake Roof will come back in here.

Huskies also bringing a tight end.

The end around will go to Nick Nora.

Can't get around the edge and he's taken down right off the corner.

That is big number 88, Drayden DeRosier.

Junior from Flugerville, Texas at 6-4-2-60.

Makes the stop in the Huskies.

This series going in reverse right now.

It's going to be a third and 25.

Back at their own 34 yard line.

Not a lot in the playbook for 25 yards.

We'll see if it's delayed, handoff, screen pass.

What have you?

Something to try to make something happen after the completion.

Larner will look to the sidelines for the adjustment.

Trips right.

Larner, it's a quarterback draw.

Gets a good block.

It's the 40, and the Cavalry will come, and it's taken down there.

So a modest gain there on third and long.

Stop for Midwesters.

Date made by number 11, Tyler Cooks.

Sophomore from Houston, Texas.

Transfer from NC Central.

Bring the Huskies punt unit out here, and we'll see if it's at Kacharski.

I think a 26 should be kicking this one away.

Ivan Ermlich also potential for the Huskies Back to return should be Hickman for Midwestern State And it is Kacharski and the kick is away Off toward the Mustang sideline bounces at the 20 stays in bounce for a little bit.

We'll go inside

to the 17 make 18 yard line or Midwestern State will start their next series.

Still no score, 9-22 to go, first quarter.

Both teams have had one possession.

Mustangs have turned it over both times, a fumble and an interception.

Huskies have missed a field goal and punted.

Right now Michigan Tech.

Total offense is minus six yards.

End around play is faked.

It's kept by Caden Brown up the middle.

His helmet will pop off as he's tackled on the play by Johnny Hegelstein.

Number 69 of the offense must set one play out as his helmet came off.

Well, that's not the quarterback.

It was the offensive lineman who lost his lid on the play.

That's left guard Gabe Rosen, redshirt junior from Chicago, so he'll come out for a play.

Trips left here for Brown, goes to Dobbs.

Dobbs, in the backfield, nice play by Brady Isaacson to help lead that one, and Zane Schwartz, and Darius Jones Jr.

will come in and finish that playoff for no gain.

Excellent work by Isaacson to get a hand on it after breaking through the offensive line.

Forcing that one to his teammates.

Right now the Huskies defensive line is doing a pretty nice job of putting some pressure on as Brown will look over to the sidelines for his adjustment.

Three receivers left, one right, ball in the right hash here for the shotgun Brown.

A little bit of a high snap, he looks, pressure comes, and he's evading.

and he gets passed and throws for a first down at the 29 yard line.

Joe Murano couldn't keep up with Caden Brown as he reversed course, went back towards the left, threw to the left to make the completion.

Murano had his hands on him and then the offensive lineman Rosen at 67-365 who had just missed the previous play, losing his helmet, came back in and disrupted the path of Murano enough.

Play action fade down the sideline and it is incomplete Stamps had some hands on him Officials don't say it's enough for buyers to draw a flag and it's an incomplete past second in 10 Mustangs 746 remaining first quarter no score second in 10 from their own 30 yard line for Midwestern state

The rest of the Husky starters, they didn't get on defense.

You've got Jackson Zachary number 33, number six is Jaden Bolden.

A pair of juniors and that Husky secondary as Brown steps back to throw.

Pocket collapses, Pierce chases and he throws across the middle.

It's incomplete.

Looking for one of the diminutive wide receivers out there.

I think that was

Is that Coulter out of the backfield number eight, I think?

So it'll bring up third and 10 here for Midwestern.

Brown is just three of seven passing early on in this game.

And now the backfield will empty.

Brown will be on his own.

Hard count here.

Moskis bring some pressure, steps up, throws, and it is completed.

High pointing that football for Midwestern State.

It was number 12, Dexter Stiegel, the fourth.

That six foot four needed all of that to make that catch.

Gets it at the 45 for a Mustang first down.

Be there third, make it fourth first down.

Quick bubble to the outside by as the reception.

Cook will come in and clean that up after two yards for Midwestern.

Tackled along his own sidelines here, second and eight.

Huskies will rotate through some guys in that defensive secondary, and really in that back eight for them, probably all 11 really overall, but with the amount that Midwestern tries to spread them out, we'll see some different defensive formations.

Throw across the middle, once again, completed the Stiegel.

And that completion gonna be enough for another midwestern state first down.

Dakota Blackwell make the stop at the Michigan Tech 44 yard line and midwestern hustling up here.

Huskies get through to the back field and then pump fake and throw down the field and nobody in particular.

Closest player in range was Dominic Cox number four and it was floated well over the top is.

Kaden Brown was awfully close to the line of scrimmage when he let it go.

Incomplete pass brings up second and 10 at the Michigan Tech 44.

Midwestern State here again moving pretty quickly overall here making a couple of substitutions though.

This time will bring the play clock under 20.

Now down to 15.

Brown hands off Dobbs.

Dobbs looking left.

Huskies bring in some help and it's Dakota Blackwell.

Making the stop, Johnny Hegelstein pushed that one out, strung it towards the left and Blackwell from his safety position rolling downhill to tackle him for a loss of two on the play back at the 46 yard

line.

Brings up third and 12.

Three receivers left here for Caden Brown.

Number two in white for...

Midwestern State, drops back in the pocket, dumps it across, and it is intercepted again by the Huskies, Jamison Stamps.

He will be forced out of bounds around the line of scrimmage.

Just stepped in front of that one and a second pick of the day for Clayton Brown.

And Michigan Tech's defense bending a little bit, but not breaking and eventually coming away with their third, first quarter turnover.

Five and a half to go in the first.

Still no score.

Might be the first career interception for Jamies and Stamps as well.

Oskie offense gonna come out here, try to do something positive right now.

Six plays for a loss of six yards total.

And it will be Delgado.

Texan himself will pick up a couple of yards.

Samuel Delgado with 10 career rushes coming into today's game.

Junior from Catalina Foothills in San Antonio, Texas.

5-10-190, wearing the familiar number 23 of Colby Hindenau.

Huskies will keep the dual tailbacks in there with Delgado and Roof.

Delgado gets the play action.

It's a dump off to Roof and it's through his hands a little too tall and incomplete.

Defensive danger being put there for Midwestern State as Ethan Dishman.

Had a chance for interception there on the high throw.

Pressure being put on there by Junior Hemuli.

Little linebacker.

So brings up third and eight.

Huskies so far all for two on third down conversions in this game.

Looking for a first one here.

Larner rolls left.

Squares up, throws towards Nora, gets both feet down around the 42 yard line of Midwestern.

And a first down and a flag coming in late.

Both teams pointing in either direction right now.

But it's right around where that completion was made.

May have been an activity on the sidelines.

And we shall see who gets the infraction.

Looks like it's going against the Huskies.

At least that's the initial indication with everybody moving.

You can hear Coach Metlack screaming down on the sidelines saying all he tried to do was go vertical.

We'll see what they eventually decide to call, or if they don't call anything.

There's

no following the play for offense of pass interference.

However, after the play was over, unsportsmanlike conduct offense number one.

First down was achieved, first down to 10, Michigan Tech.

Wow.

All right, so they picked up the initial flag for pass interference, but still gave him the personal foul after the flag.

You could hear Ethan Dishman chirping a little bit towards the Michigan Tech side.

Nora will get a playoff here.

So Larner and Kearns will be the wide receivers.

Looks like you got Popko and Novotny, two tight ends in there with Jake Roof in the backfield.

Shotgun here for Elliott Larner.

Abram is in motion.

It's a play action.

Elliott keeps and he gets to the edge.

Can he sprint his way around the corner?

He will for a first down back inside Midwestern State Territory near the 45 yard line.

Not all the penalty yardage back, but it is enough for a first down at the Midwestern 45.

So a gain of 12 on that play on the ground for Elliott Larner.

My apologies to Elliott calling an Ethan.

I'm calling Abram Larner Ethan.

There's just been too many Ethan's over the years for the Huskies.

Two receivers left and a play action to Abram.

Ethan stays on his feet, spins around and goes down at the 41 yard line, excuse me, 36 yard line.

It's a gain of nine and another helmet comes up.

Number 10 of the defense must leave for one play as his helmet came off.

That

is Bryson Lewis whose helmet came off, so the junior safety will exit.

Donnie Smith, a red shirt freshman number 12 will take his spot for now.

And the Huskies getting a little bit of momentum running here on offense.

Elliott Larner, couple big runs in the last couple plays.

Another run, this one's on Jake Roof's hands.

Jake across the 30, across the 25, pulling inside the 20, down near the 15 yard line.

That's what Jake Roof can do.

Little bit of bully ball for 20 yards for 28 and black.

Came around off tackle left.

Good seal block there for Gabe Popko, and then from there it was just lowering his shoulder through the defensive back, Smith and Dishman before finally...

So coming at the 16 yard line again a gain of 20 on that play.

Larner fades one towards the end zone and it is caught with a flag down.

Touchdown Huskies.

Bryce Kearns battling through the contact to dive into the end zone for a touchdown.

The flag is against Midwestern State.

It will

not matter.

Touchdown Huskies.

Pass interference, defense number nine.

That penalty is declined.

Result of the play is a touchdown.

Penalty goes

against sophomore corner, Joe Hollis.

He's right on the sidelines, right near the pylon in Bryce Kearns.

Fighting through it, diving for that football, holding onto it through the ground.

The Huskies draw first.

6-0 with 3-0-2 to go, first quarter.

As Avery Kaczarski will get ready to line up the extra point.

Heppner snap is good.

The Ermilik hold is good and the Kucharski kick is good.

With 3-0-2 to go on the first quarter it is Michigan Tech 7.

Midwestern State nothing.

Penalty declined.

Extra point good.

Michigan Tech 7.

Midwestern State nothing with 3-0-2 to go in the first quarter.

First half of today's game is brought to you by Houghton Building Supply.

Our opening kickoff this afternoon brought to you by Fineline Tire and Hancock.

Fineline Tire Express in Houghton.

Kaczarski's second kickoff today now is going to be fielded in the end zone and it will be taken out of the end zone by Hillman.

Across the 20 to the 25, stuttering.

Reversing course, he's got a lot of open field on the far side if he can get to it.

35, 40, midfield and steps out of bounds as the flag is thrown near the Midwestern State 45 yard line.

One of the Huskies looks like he was being held on the play.

And it's, we're going to talk about it here on special teams that was Luke Gorzinski.

And our officials will discuss, but a good return by Midwestern State.

Lewis Hickman with a return of over 50 yards.

Mark him out of bounds at the Husky 48 yard line, but it won't matter if they march this back for holding from the 45, which is what it looks like is going to happen.

During the return, there are multiple fouls on the return team.

Holding return team number three, that penalty is declined.

Personal foul, continuing to block out of bounds.

15 yards from the spot of the foul, first down Midwestern State.

The foul is on number 12.

And so that continuation of blocking out of bounds started at the Midwestern State 35 yard line.

So the return is going to go all the way back to the Mustang 20.

So the holding call, not the one that ends up hurting Midwestern state.

They end up losing 32 yards as a result of the penalty on the return.

And so the Husky defense in a little bit better shape here.

Instead of starting back in their own territory, 80 yards to pay dirt for the visitors.

247 to go, first quarter Huskies, seven nothing leaders.

As Caden Brown will hand off.

Up the middle, the pile pushes to the 23-yard line as Joseph Dodds will pick up three on the play.

Dodds is from Markham, Texas and a transfer from Division I Baylor University.

They'll get another call on second down here, and he won't get very far.

Another helmet goes off, and it's going to be the same one as earlier as Rosen.

Number 69 of the offense must leave for one play as his helmet came off.

Again, Gabe Rosen at 6'7", 365 pounds at left guard.

Right guard is no slouch either at 6'4", 350 pounds.

Levy-Samaya, a little bit more lengthy than that, but that's what he goes by Levy.

Pressure comes on Brown, he steps up, fires, ball is in the air, and it is incomplete.

Jamison stamps, and a flag is coming in from the back side of the play, and probably right, it looked like Jamison had a hand around the intended receiver on the play, Feliciano.

Anje Feliciano around midfield.

Passenger Farance, defense number four, 15-yard penalty, first down.

So Feliciano at 6-2-2-10, a senior, going up against Stamps.

And the penalty will give him the first down at the Midwestern State 39-yard line.

Feliciano will move across to the left, joining there, trips left.

Gets the carry to 45.

Knocked down by Dakota Blackwell at the 46.

And a gain of seven on the play.

Mustangs quick to the line here.

Ball is set at 32 on the play clock.

And Brown snaps at 28.

Play action, throwing down the sidelines again.

Feliciano off his hands and complete.

Stamps in coverage on the play.

Bring up second, make it third, and three for the Mustangs.

Mustangs with the white helmets, white jerseys.

Maroon pants, numerals, striping.

Three receivers left, one right for Caden Brown.

He looks, delivers left, and it is completed.

and swatting away the defender and falling ahead for a couple extra yards was the tight end Stego.

First down, Midwestern stayed at the Huskies 46 yard line.

Pick up on that play, should be good for eight.

First down throw, another dump across the middle and incomplete.

Looks like that hit the chest blade of Dodds.

and went to the ground.

We went a little play across the middle for the start of around five yards, depending on the after catch run.

But not to be there as Dodds couldn't hang on, second and 10.

Brown surveying the defense before calling for the snap.

Quick throw to the outside.

It is completed.

And shoved out of bounds by...

Stamps is Tyler Brown who caught a big one for a touchdown last week, number 10.

Over 60 yards on his touchdown reception last week.

That however is going to just bring up a third and manageable third and five at the 41 of the Huskies.

And they'll go to Dodds on third down.

Dodds gonna get a yard and then run into a pile of Huskies shoved backwards by Maddie Sabaw, Darius Jones Jr.

in the mix there at the bottom of that pile for the Huskies.

That is the end of the

first quarter.

Brings up fourth down as you hear the first quarter comes to an end.

After one quarter, Michigan Tech seven, Midwestern State nothing.

Second quarter now getting started here.

The MIX 93 in Flow Sports.

Thanks to those of you watching live on the Flow stream here today.

Director Jake Condon pushing the buttons back in the closet at the John McInnes 290 Serena today.

Fourth down, the Mustang offense currently standing out there to go for it.

And Caden Brown will stand back.

Floats went down the sideline.

Stamps is in coverage and it is incomplete.

Tyler Brown was the intended target.

Stamps was in trail position but swatted his hands right through the hands of Tyler Brown to knock it away.

And the Michigan Tech defense holds on fourth down.

Nice play by Stamps.

falling down basically diving to make the play on that one and a nice job there for Jameson.

They've attacked him quite a bit here today staying away from T-Mart out on the other side.

Terrence Martin and Journey Solomon working the other side for Michigan Tech's secondary and it'll be offense back out for the Huskies here leading seven to nothing at their own 39 yard line.

Elliott Larner will have Samuel Delgado in the backfield.

Play action goes to him.

The throw is low but completed to Bryce Kearns who gets out of the first tackle and gets a nice block into Midwestern territory down to the 41 yard line.

A gain of near 20 on the play and a Michigan Tech first down.

Good job by Kearns.

Run after catch on that one.

He's going to come off the field.

It looks like he might have tweaked the lower leg a little bit on that play and he'll take a second to shake it off here.

Jackson Lippert will come in his spot.

Lippert the six foot junior from Wixom, Michigan.

Three receiver set again here for Elliot Larner who goes to Delgado.

Looks for a crease and can't really find one.

Hands on him right near the line of scrimmage.

And a gain of maybe one on the play.

Didn't even hear the whistle to blow the play dead.

But it is second and nine.

Huskies will have three receivers to the right.

Larner, Nora, Lippert from outside in.

And it's a designed quarterback draw here.

It's Larner.

And the Huskies not able to get much out of it there.

Midwestern State staying disciplined.

And the stop being led by 96 in white.

Justin Hernandez, a senior from Bell Gardens, California, a transfer from Cerritos College.

Six foot one, excuse me, six foot three, 15.

And it's gonna bring up third and nine.

Tight end pop go in motion.

And an incomplete pass looking across the middle.

I think that was towards Larner and an incompletion.

Will bring up fourth down and a likely kicking situation for the Huskies here Probably a quick kick I would say from Elliott, but right now the offense staying in position here hard count for Elliott And now he will drop back

And the quick kick from Larner is away, a spiraling kick.

Bounces and will roll into the end zone as Lippert got blocked to the ground there by Midwestern State.

And unable to capitalize on the momentum and success of their previous series, the Huskies defense will be tasked to go back out and stop the explosive Midwestern State offense once again.

Right now MSU has run.

27 plays for 80 yards, so only three yards of play.

It's not gonna wow you necessarily.

Huskies have run 17 plays for 84 yards, just under five per play.

But a lot of possessions already.

I think this is the fifth possession of the game for Midwestern State.

And we still have 12-56 to go, second quarter.

And off goes to the back.

And he's gonna get close to a first down, that's Dodds again.

He's got most of the action in the Midwestern backfield game of nine on the play.

And quickly to the line, Dodds another carry and a first down.

Pile being pushed ahead across the 35 and eventually down near the 38 yard line, another nine yard game for Midwestern.

Dodds is at six foot, 215 pounds.

Junior in terms of eligibility.

A little motion there from the tight end and it will be a play action at Dodds this time and Brown's gonna have to scramble.

Flushed out to his left runs into Jackson Zachary who gives up nothing, meets him and takes him to the ground at the 39 yard line, maybe close to the 40.

But Zachary...

Pretty good size on the Michigan Tech defense and then Husky position at 6-3 It's gonna bring up second and they will give him the 40 yard line so eight yards to go back inside Mustang territory Cox will motion across joins the right side trips right looking that way throwing that way and incomplete Piling up there with Journey Solomon getting into the mix for the Huskies defense

Stopping that one before it ever had a chance.

They're trying to set up a bubble screen out there really for the wide receiver.

But Michigan Tech able to fight through those and Solomon knocks it away.

So third and eight midwestern state.

And back inside their own territory, 11 and a half to go.

Second quarter, Huskies seven, Mustangs nothing.

Brown on blocked game.

Receiver is intercepted.

Chase Cook, he could have it.

The block is not gonna be enough.

Madi Sabah tried to get Caden Brown, but he couldn't do so.

Chase Cook's got his second pick of the game and the Huskies in business at the 10 yard line.

Looking for the house call was Chase Cook, but

Badi Sabah just couldn't block the quarterback as well as he would have liked to.

He was really the only guy who was gonna have a chance to stop and Chase really couldn't let his, the rest of his help come in there.

Zane Schwartz might have had a chance to help block on that one, but you really can't slow down too much.

If you're Chase, you think somebody's going to be chasing you.

So now Larner in the offense, setting up at the Midwestern State 10 yard line.

It's first in goal.

Play action fake to roof.

Larner keeps it himself and will be taken down low and high at about the seven yard line, gain of three.

Larner really basically tripped over and was pushed over the defender on the ground.

Second in goal from the seven.

Hard count from Larner.

Huskies will look for the sideline adjustment.

Two receivers, left ball on the right hash here.

And an option to right, Larner keeps, dances around and will be forced near the goal line, but will be short by about a yard.

Elliott Larner is not overly big at 511-180, but he's shifty, he's elusive.

Slippery is another word you could use.

Huskies will bring in a couple of tailbacks.

Delgado and Pam Cornette will be there along with Jake Roof.

This looks like it's gonna be a push push.

The snap, the dive.

And touchdown.

Long, long decision there to see if he had made it over the goal line.

But eventually Elliot Larner finishes it off from one yard out with the push-push.

Going right behind big roll-in ball, getting a shove from Jake Roof.

Luke Novotny was in there as well.

Extra point for Avery Kaczarski is good.

It was 9.54 to go in the first half.

It is Michigan Tech 14.

Midwestern State nothing.

Kaden

Brown had a very successful opening weekend.

32 of 38, 390 yards for Midwestern State today has not been as efficient.

8 of 19 now, 63 yards and three interceptions.

Two of them by Chase Cook.

The last one setting the Huskies up with a 10 yard line where Elliott Larner ran all three times.

for the Michigan Tech touchdown.

The Torsche push finishing it off with 954 to go in the second quarter.

Huskies 14 Mustangs nothing.

Huskies did get out to a 14 to nothing lead.

Over Midwestern State four years ago when the Huskies played.

Mustangs in Texas.

We're unable to hold on to that one, but lots of football to be played and to be decided here as the Charsky's kick.

Pushes the returner back into the end zone.

Jayden Coulter, busts up to the left side, uses some blocks and then gets pancake down by Ian Pop.

Pop does just that.

And now some conversation going on amongst the players there is Ian Pop.

Makes the big hit along the Michigan Tech sidelines to knock down the returner.

Return gets back to about the 34 yard line here.

The flow replay will see Coulter going back a couple yards into the end zone here and setting up some blocks nicely before pop came in and just really pancaked him down.

Excellent play there for the defensive back from Michigan Tech.

Junior from Norway, Michigan.

Play action pass, quick one of the outside, Baez will make the reception and he's forced out of bounds by Stamps after a short game to the 39-yard line.

Give him a six on that play as Caden Brown makes another reception.

A completion, the reception to Baez is his fifth of the day.

Short side of the field there.

Left hash here for Caden Brown.

He throws towards Baez again.

Helmet comes off of Stamps.

who basically has to stop playing and

he'll

come off.

Number four of the defense must leave the field for one play as his helmet came off.

So Terrence Martin will come back in on that side as Journey Solomon working the far side of the field right now.

John Hagelstein got him out of bounds after a two yard gain.

It's third and two from the Midwestern State 41 yard line.

Mustangs using that.

Coach to quarterback, helmet communication.

Husky's gonna make a substitution here.

And it's gonna be Dodds.

Dodds not gonna get the first down.

Stuffed by Dakota Blackwell and Marty Saboff.

They give him a gain of one, he needed two, it's gonna bring up fourth down.

Once again, coming downhill from his safety position, Dakota Blackwell in run support, making the play.

Stangs are gonna go for it here, it looks like.

And Brown's gonna try to keep it, and he will not get it.

Stacked up by the Huskies.

Leading the charge, Jackson Zachary, Deontay Good.

Take that, Jaden Bolden, six-not-five.

The Huskies' cavalry came and stopped that one before it had a chance.

Brandon Keele, Nolan's shot in there too for the Huskies.

And Michigan Tech has stopped.

Midwestern stayed on fourth down a couple of times.

So far no punt attempts here for Midwestern.

They rolled the dice and did not come up with it.

Huskies field position on the midwestern side again at 41 yard line.

804 to go, it's a reverse.

It's a flea flicker.

It's Larner and it's Short.

Going for a wide open game, Popko, but a flag comes in.

And it looks like it's gonna go against Brayden de Rocher.

The defensive end.

Personal foul, rough in the passer, 88 of the defense, hit to the head.

15 yard penalty, first down.

Little razzle dazzle there from the Huskies going to roof to Nora back to Larner And yeah the hand right hand from Braden DeRosier coming right across the forehead of Elliott Larner And that'll be an easy flag for just about any official out there to throw So while the completion to the junior tight end pop go unsuccessful the flag it gets him the first down at the 26 yard line anyway

Under eight minutes to go in the first half.

Play-action to Elgato, rolling right.

And Larner's just gonna have to scamper out of bounds being chased there by the defense.

Harnell Klubu, senior end from Fort Worth, Texas.

Forcing Elliott to go out of bounds.

Give him a yard on that one of the 25, second and nine.

Huskies not quite the same tempo no huddle as Midwestern state runs, but not the traditional huddle by any means either.

Larner standing back open as a receiver, Kearns makes the reception inside the 20 yard line.

Pick up of seven.

Will be third and two.

Long throw out there to Kearns too on that far sideline from the right hash to near the numbers.

Defensive back Dray Sanders in coverage thought he might have had a chance to step in front of that one, but wouldn't have had a whole lot of help if he missed it.

Instead played a little more safe and helped make the tackle before the first down.

Jumping that one, Larner's gonna have a free play throws and it's incomplete.

Could have called a pass interference out there as well on Sanders, but instead the offside will give Michigan Tech a first down here hard count got the defensive lineman to jump

Offside defense number 98 five-yard penalty results on the first down

That goes against senior nose guard Charles McKnight a 6-1 265 pound lineman from Cyprus, Texas

And automatic first down from Michigan Tech here.

They've started to pile up some first downs.

Courtesy of a couple of more lengthy drives.

Last drive, of course, that they scored on, they didn't need any first downs.

10 yards and in.

Here though, ball is set at the 12, so still can pick up a first down without a touchdown.

First and 10.

Two receivers left for Larner.

He'll instead go...

with a play-action to Roof.

Gets through on the 10-yard line.

Stood up by Midwestern State's defense.

Nice play on the edge there by one of the corners, I think that is, CJ Anderson.

A 6-2 freshman from Austin, Texas, making the stop there.

There aren't any players that I am aware of that are

Making their second appearance in this series.

It was four years ago that the Huskies in Mustangs played in Wichita Falls And off this time does go to roof looking for a lane finds one and reaches falls backwards towards the goal line touchdown Huskies Able to keep his balance in reverse Jake Roof caches one in with 548 to go in the second quarter Huskies lead extended 20 to nothing

A patient run there, looking for the block from Popko, getting another one from Kearns in downfield from Matthew Dainan.

They're getting spun.

And backing his way into the end zone, Jake Roof with another Michigan Tech score.

This is the first of the season for Roof.

As Kaczarski's extra point makes it 21 to nothing Huskies 548 you go in the first half you're listening to Husky football presented by Houghton building supply on mix 93 and flow sports.

Go Huskies!

Well, it's a good first half here now from Michigan Tech on offense in terms of scoring 21-0 Huskies defenses set them up a few different times But only once did they truly cash in off of the turnover.

The last one was a short field after a fourth down Attempt When arrived for Midwestern State six plays 41 yards and the final was Jake Roof from eight yards out

with 548 to go in the second quarter.

Following the extra point, it's 21 to nothing, Michigan Tech.

As Kaczarski's got it teed up and it's an onside kick and it is recovered by Minnesota, excuse me, Midwestern State.

Kaczarski tried it, but quick to find it there was Midwestern.

and taking a look at the roster here.

Offsides, kicking team number 37, five yards from the spot of recovery, first down to the Western State.

Might have been touched by Kaczarski before it was actually picked up by the Mustangs.

Couple number 18s in the roster, one side it's Nathaniel Hall, a linebacker from KD, Texas, transfer from Stephen F. Austin.

likely the one traveling and playing on special teams there.

But it'll give Midwestern their best field position at the Michigan Tech 39 yard line of chance to answer the Huskies here.

As Brown, Flea Flickr with Dobs.

Throws down the field and it is completed, Dominic Cox.

How that one got through with the back turn by Jaden Bolden and the coverage by Dakota Blackwell.

I'm not entirely certain.

That was thrown into danger territory by Caden Froude.

But Cox makes the reception inside the 15.

And Dodds runs.

Powers his way inside the 10 yard line and the pile does not stop until the seven yard line.

Dodds will pick up about six.

And it's second down inside the Michigan Tech 10.

Hard running there for Dodds as he ran into Chase Cook, Jaden Bolden and then the rest of the Huskies had to come in and try to finish that off.

Strong run there for Joseph Dodds.

Under five minutes here in the first half.

Another better scoring chances here for Midwestern State.

As Dodds.

We'll get the handoff on second down, trying right tackle.

Gets near the marker.

They'll have him at the four yard line instead.

And it's gonna bring up third and short.

Chase Cook getting the credit for the stop there.

He led the Huskies in tackles last week.

As you would probably assume, he bent his route.

Basically ever since becoming a starter for the Huskies.

Two years ago, almost to the day.

Brown goes to Dodds on the ground.

He'll have the first down.

He will not have the touchdown though, as Michigan Tech's defense still holds at the two yard line.

Jackson Zachary helping that one out from the back side on that play.

And the pitch goes to Dodds, he is not gonna get it again.

Joey Murano, one of the Huskies there to make the play, forcing it back to the inside.

He and Jaden Bolden making the play on that.

Murano just holding the edge, forcing it back into his teammates, got him around the knees and ankles while Jaden Bolden helped finish that off and we've got a stoppage.

Timeout Michigan Tech.

the first charge time out of the half.

With 256 to go in the first half, Huskies 21, nothing would love to keep it that way here with a goal to go from the one yard line here for Midwestern State.

We haven't seen Joey Donahue back on the field since that initial turnover and he's been without his helmet now so perhaps he may be unavailable here for the

remainder of this first half and perhaps then the remainder of this game.

We'll have to see the junior from Traverse City, Michigan getting the started inside backer alongside the senior cook.

Chase has gotten two interceptions for the Huskies today.

Madi Sabah has made some plays at that inside backer spot along with Donahue when Joey was out there.

Right now, 31 has been on the sideline, Sands' helmet.

Pretty much ever since that opening series.

Following a timeout, it will be second and goal, Midwestern State.

Huskies bump and run on the outside.

Brown looking left, retreats, floats towards the corner and it's incomplete.

Terrence Martin in coverage, Baia is the intended target.

And the Huskies force third in goal.

It'll be at the Michigan Tech one yard line.

Fias left.

Not positive who's wide out to the side.

There looks like 86.

Dalton Bailey.

And Brown will go to the ground.

Dobbs this time.

Dodds will get in.

Touchdown Mustangs.

Finally, the blocking set up enough for Midwestern State to go ahead and push that one through, with Husky's defense at hell for several plays beforehand.

Finally, with 2.47 to go in the first half, Midwestern State capitalizes and scores.

Their extra point attempt coming from Cohn Moroni, sophomore place kicker.

Holder listed as Case Peacock, long snapper Paxton McCutcheon.

Snap and hold are good, kick is up, it looks good and it is.

So Mid-Western State takes the Michigan Tech onside kick and ends up scoring and some more activity after the whistle.

And a flag does come in, we'll hold it here while they announce the flag.

officials huddling up to discuss.

Dodds runs it in from one yard out, the scoring drive on that one.

Let's see if I can get that for you here in a second.

Seven plays, 41.

The extra point is good.

After the play was over, unsportsmanlike conduct, defense number zero.

That foul will be on the kickoff.

That is number zero's first unsportsmanlike conduct follow the game.

Back judge now discussing with coach Metlack the call on that one.

And for Pierce, we know he plays with an edge.

And he got caught that time.

Our two-minute timeout will come up here in a little bit, so we'll keep this here.

That scoring drive against seven plays, 41 yards for Midwestern State.

Finishing with a touchdown run of one yard out by Joseph Dodds.

Dodds has carried the ball 14 times in today's game for 54 yards.

Caden Brown has thrown 23 times for 99 yards.

He's run it four times for a loss of five.

Huskies will be back to return for the first time here in today's game.

Abram Larner and Jackson Lippert will be back to return.

The kick will come from midfield from the leg of Moroni.

See what kind of return options are provided here.

As Moroni just gonna...

Punch it all the way through the end zone into the pet band.

And the Huskies will take the touch back and their offense will have two minutes and 47 seconds to work with here up two scores.

21-7 is your score Michigan Tech with the lead.

Home opener here today after both teams got victories in week zero.

Both teams really holding on in the fourth quarter of their respective games.

Huskies had a three score lead against Bemidji State and they ended up making it 31-29.

Midwestern State also had a three score lead finishing 30 to 23 in their game.

As Larner.

Steps, Rose and completes to Abram for a first down Abram Larner.

A little sit down route there for Abram Larner picks up 11 and a Michigan Tech first down at the 36.

First catch of the day for Abram.

Second catch by anybody not named Kearns.

And Larner, misdirection run here for Roof, and it was read nicely there by the defense.

Stop made by number 22, Ronald Manning.

And I think the Huskies are gonna let this run to the two minute.

This is the two minute timeout.

I guess they didn't really have a whole lot of choice.

Two minute timeout is upon us.

Huskies 21, Mustang 7, we'll step aside for this timeout.

Second down play is going to be a completion of Nick Nora, who does some fancy footwork to pick up a Michigan Tech first down at the 47 yard line.

Little quick slant and got himself around the defender on the play.owski's in no immediate hurry.

They've got two timeouts in their back pocket.

Clock had paused during the setting of the football and now Larner with two backs.

Will play action to roof steps up throws it down the seam and it's completed to Abram Larner 20 to the 15th race of the pylon larners got it touchdown Huskies Abram Larner with the big reception from Elliott Larner

Larner and Larner connect for a big one and the Huskies answer quickly.

27-7 with 1-20 to go here in the first half.

Snap and hold down, kick for Kaczarski up and good.

4 for 4 on P.A.T.'

's for Avery today.

It's 28-7 Huskies with a big answer there.

I'm only a little bit amused because during the pregame or I guess the podcast this week, Rich Renner, maybe rightfully so, had said that he felt as though his team speed may have been a little bit better than Michigan Tech's team speed.

Again, the Huskies not necessarily known.

for team speed.

But that time 1-9 outran the other, Joe Hollis was in trail position on that throw to Abram Larner and he was never able to close.

Abram was able to make the turn as he got closer to the sidelines and dove in towards the pylon near side for the touchdown.

That one goes for 53 yards and Abram Larner hadn't caught one before that drive catches two, including the big one.

Scoring drive for Michigan Tech there.

Was four plays in 75 yards.

And now Kaczarski will be set to kick it away here again for the Huskies.

He'll full foot this one.

to be returned at the five yard line by Hillman.

Hillman breaks it to the Huskies sideline area here, gets to the edge and is knocked out of bounds there by Dez Mullen.

And the Michigan Tech special teams coverage.

Mullen looks like he's got a club on one of his hands over there, so that kind of limits a little bit of his defensive availability.

But the Mustangs will have some time left here to try and make something happen.

With another possession, there have been quite a few here.

Again, I don't know exactly how many possessions there have been.

I lost count early in this game.

But the Mustangs move quickly, so it's allowed for many possessions so far.

Brown stepping up, pocket has collapsed, fires it down the field as Cox open, and he...

Can't complete it and nearly intercepted by Jameson stamps They said it hit the turf and we'll get a review look at it here on the replay And yeah, I sure did it bounced off the ground one for in coverage of the other four and This one once again goes into the books courtesy of Michigan Tech

Stamps will step off and coverage help will come out.

Brown dumps off to Dodds.

Dodds is gonna get shoved out of bounds by Chase Cook around the 35 yard line.

It's gonna pause the clock at 54 seconds, but it is third down and they have him out of bounds at the 33, so minimal gain there.

Only two yards on that one.

Could, in theory, give the Huskies a chance.

They can make a stop here on third down.

Another chance on offense.

And

Brown will stand back in the pocket.

Here comes some pressure and down he goes.

Nolan's shop as the Huskies take a timeout with 47 seconds

left on the first half clock.

Timeout, Michigan Tech, their second charge timeout of the half.

Nice play by Nolan's shop

coming in off the other side of the play.

Clock operator, please be set the game clock to 49 seconds.

Little stunt move there to get shop around the edge and he just, thank you, beat his man.

Jordan Mora at 6-5-3-10 was no match for the speed of Nolan shop at 6-2-2-60.

Dipped the shoulder around and got to Caden Brown for a second sack of the day by the Huskies defense.

Now a fully expected punt formation here for Midwestern State.

It's fourth and very long, fourth and 17 with 49 seconds to go at their own 24 yard line.

So anything but a punt here would be a head scratcher to say the least.

Does look like they do have their punter, Mendoza, sophomore from Glenrose, Texas.

Standing back near his own 12 yard line, Nick Nora inside the Husky 40 to await this kick.

Bit of a low snap, Mendoza able to field it and the kick is going to be a short one.

Bounces at the 49 will take a Mustang roll inside the 35 and gets the benefit all the way down to the 33 yard line And the clock will stop at 37 seconds with one timeout left for the Michigan Tech Huskies chance to get greedy before the break and the Huskies get the ball to start the second half Could potentially Make some distance here up by three scores now

And we'll see what is in the back pocket of Dan Metlach.

Huskies now have 189 yards of total offense following that last drive.

They'll line up with four receivers here.

And Nora will go to the left to make it two to either side.

Larner.

Dumps it off across the middle.

It's Abram Abram's got some blocks and gets across the 40 to the 43 yard line.

It's a first down Clock stopped while they set the football and it rolls Elliot waits for them to get set Stands to his left waits has to make something happen here throws it and completes to Abe again out of bounds

at the 48 yard line, minimal gain on that one in all grand scheme of things, but the bigger thing there is they stopped the clock with 14 seconds.

So full field is available for use here with a timeout remaining for the Huskies.

At their own 48 yard line, I didn't see how far out Avery's kicking distance was today.

I know last week they were saying that 50 was reasonably comfortable for him.

but that was at Bemidji with a bit of a breeze still available too.

There's not a lot of wind out here today.

Elliott dropping back, pump fakes, dumps and completes to Abe.

Abe at about the 40 and a timeout will be taken here with five, maybe six or seven

depending

on when they get the call.

Timeout, Michigan Tech, that is their final timeout of the half.

And we are gonna have five seconds on the clock here.

Ball is at the 40-yard line.

This would be an awfully long field goal try if they were gonna go for one.

57 might be a little too far for Avery Kaczarski at this point.

But we will see.

I know that AB typically when healthy has the arm strength to go that far.

I don't know about Elliot if he's got the arm

strength.

to throw the Hail Mary at this point.

Or if there's anything else in the bag of tricks for the Huskies here.

I've already seen the double reverse pass.

But it will be Elliott staying out here.

AB just not quite healthy enough, I think, yet to get a shot.

They will have four receivers, two to either side right now as Larner, quick throw to the outside, Abe gets knocked out of bounds with two and one and there is zero on the clock, but there should be one.

The clock

operator, please be set the game clock to two seconds.

Thank you.

And now they will bring out Avery here, so they got these six yards or so needed for a 50 yard try.

It'll be from the left hash here.

Timeout taken Midwestern State.

Timeout Midwestern State.

Their second charge timeout of the half.

Mustangs had two they can't take with them.

Might as well burn one here.

Make sure your defense is set up in a good enough position here and make Avery think about it a little longer.

But again 50 was a distance that they felt relatively comfortable with last week.

Clearly they felt the same here this week too.

Go ahead and try for the short completion with just five seconds left.

Try and set him up for one.

It would be a career long.

Furthest I remember Avery going was about 45 or 46 last year.

This one will be from 51.

Ivan Ermlich will hold at the Michigan Tech, excuse me, the Midwestern State 41 yard line at the left hash.

Flags blowing ever so lightly to the right.

And Kaczarski's kick looks like it's got the distance.

It is off the upright and good.

From 51 yards.

That is the end of the first half.

Avery Kaczarski.

A career long makes it 31 to 7 going into half.

They probably needed all extra six or so yards that they got from the previous completion to Larner I don't know if it would have had enough otherwise, but good job there by the Huskies Saving enough time and excellent work by Kacharski to Get that one through so after one half it is Michigan Tech 37 or 31

Welcome back here on MIX 93.

It is halftime.

It's brought to you by Superior Smiles and the Huskies, leading Midwestern State 3127.

Kind of a tale of two quarters, at least a little bit anyway, the Mustangs.

Seemed like they had more going for them in the first half or first quarter and then the Huskies Got things moving a lot better for their offense in the second quarter Midwestern State had seven first downs in the first quarter, but turned the ball over three times Two interceptions and a fumble on their first offensive play

The fumble note did not lead to any Michigan Tech points.

We'll get you the scoring recap on all that here in just a little while, but Huskies had four first downs in the first quarter and 10 in the second quarter and piled up a lot more in the way of yardage there in the second overall.

The Mustangs, meanwhile, had just three first downs in that second.

So the Huskies...

able to extend a leadout in that half as the half was approaching here your first half numbers Elliott Larner was 11 of 14 for 163 yards to touchdowns

He also ran nine times for a net gain of 18 and another score.

Jake Roof five carries 30 yards and a touchdown.

I think they accidentally credited one of the runs of John to John Hagelstein, so let's update that number to 10 carries for 29 yards for Elliott.

Samuel Delgado two for three and Nick Nora lost three yards on his one rush.

Bryce Kearns was a leading

receiver up until those last two drives.

He had three catches for 41 yards, including one touchdown.

Abel Arner had actually been shut out at that point.

But on the next two drives, Elliott found him six times for 97 yards, including the 53 yards score.

Nick Nora's got two catches for 25 yards.

So Nick's been held quiet a little bit here today.

Three touches overall for 22 yards.

I'm sure the Huskies, if needed, will find a way to try and get him the ball a little bit more here in the second half.

But that's where some of the individual numbers are as a team.

18 carries 59 yards.

And 32 total plays for 222 yards, just under seven yards per play.

Huskies have been penalized four times for 50 yards and are currently being outpossessed 16-01 to 13-50.

midwestern state's got 10 total first down 21 rushes of 41 yards just two per carry 12 of 25 passing for Caden Brown three interceptions 101 yards overall

Joseph Dodds has carried 14 of their team 21 carries for 54 yards.

And then the rest basically have lost yards.

Coulter gained one yard total on his two carries and Brown has lost a net of 14 on five rushes overall.

That includes a pair of sacks.

The receiving core for the Mustangs, Fabian Baez does lead the team.

With six receptions, just 34 yards along of 13.

The tight end at Dexter Stiegel, the fourth.

Three receptions, 32 yards.

You have Dominic Cox with one catch for 28, Tyler Brown one for five, and then Joseph Dodds one for two.

That is the extent of their offense here so far.

They've been penalized three times for 36 yards.

They've been faced with 11 third downs and four fourth downs.

Five total conversions, all of them on third.

Huskies have not gone forward on fourth.

They are just two of five though, on third downs.

Leading tackler in the game is Chase Cook.

He's having a good one here so far.

Eight total, five solo and two interceptions.

Dakota Blackwell is playing well.

Also, he's got five stops.

Stamps is four.

Sabah's got three.

Playing most of the game here for Joey Donahue, it seems.

Nolan's shop's got three.

Zachary.

Marano, also three, Bolden, Martin and Donahue with multiple stops.

Miller, Hagelstein, Isaacson, Pop, Keele, and Jones credited with tackles for the Huskies.

Leading stop maker on the western side is the, I guess, backup safety Donnie Smith.

He's got three.

Hall's got three.

Manning's got three.

Anderson, Hollis, Lewis, and Jack.

Oliver Jack with multiple stops and then it's a host of other players each with one Right now the Huskies have got sack credits to Nolan shop and Joey Donahue To pass breakups for Jameson stamps one for journey Solomon another for Marty Sabah and two interceptions for Chase Cook on the day

Jameson Stamps also has one interception for the Huskies.

For the Mustangs, Manning's got credit for one sack and there is credit for a QB hurry out there as well for Midwestern State.

And those are your first half numbers.

Michigan Tech 31, Midwestern State 7.

We'll step aside to take a timeout.

So that happened there and it was taken.

on a screen pass picked off for 52 yards for a touchdown that gave Midwestern State the lead, but Michigan Tech was in Midwestern State territory courtesy of a big return produced by which player?

Okay, that's your question for today.

What player had a big return to set up Michigan Tech's offense in Midwestern State territory that was gonna hopefully give the Huskies

the lead with the game tied at 21 apiece.

So if you know the answer, Caller Studios, downtown Hancock, 906, 483, 40, 54, and you could be a winner.

Name the player whose big return set up the Huskies drive inside Midwestern state territory before the Mustangs ended up making the pick six and winning the game.

If you know the answer, give a call now and you could win some Pepsi.

Alright, we'll step aside for another time out.

When we come back, we'll take a look around the Gliac at some of the other games that are in play here this afternoon.

There are a few.

I think there's only one other that actually has kicked off this afternoon so far.

We'll catch caught up around the Gliac in just a couple minutes.

Welcome back to the press box at Curly Stadium, Michigan Tech 31, Midwestern State 7 here at halftime still looking for a winner on our Pepsi trivia question.

So the Huskies and the Mustangs played and for years back in that game, Midwestern State ended up winning 28-21.

But that drive by the Huskies that ended up

having the pick six was set up in Midwestern state territory by a long return by what Michigan Tech player?

If you know that answer, call our studios, downtown Hancock 906 483 40 54 and you could be a winner.

Sun is still shining brightly here at Curly Stadium as it has been all day.

Sun all over the beautiful turf on Sherman Field, 74 degrees.

Some light winds out there right now, about six miles an hour out of the east.

Not much to worry about in terms of weather unless you didn't bring your sunscreen, which you should have been encouraged to do so beforehand.

Some of the other looks around the GLIAC.

Here there's only one other game in play right now in football and Davenport at home is leading Truman State by a score of 14 to 7.

Still to kick off tonight at the Superior Dome in Marquette.

Northern Michigan hosts Tiffin six o'clock kick there Saginaw Valley State will be at home at Wicks Stadium and University Center taking on Texas A&M Kingsville and then at 7 30 tonight Eastern time it is Quincy hosting GLIAC member Roosevelt Roosevelt on the road for their first two games to start this season actually be the first three because they're on the road next week off In non-conference play as well

other games that have already finished this week in the GLIAC.

There are three finals.

Thursday night in Northwood, pounded Wayne State 52-0.

Grand Valley State fell behind 7-0 to West Texas A&M, proceeded to score the next 56 points, then gave up a little late touchdown I guess.

56-14 was the final score.

Grand Valley is now 2-0 and Ferris State wins their thirty-second consecutive game.

Their home opener was against Bentley and they win 38-3 on Friday night last night.

Also Michigan State I believe a late winner last night at Spartan Stadium.

Michigan kicks off against Western Michigan tonight.

That is a 7-30 game if I'm not mistaken and of course plenty of other games in Division 1 athletics to be had.

Michigan Tech volleyball is playing this week at the Mountain Lion Classic that is in Colorado Springs, Colorado and again they've had a habit of playing five game sets or five set games however you want to refer to that.

Thursday it was three two Colorado Springs beating Michigan Tech.

First game yesterday, Michigan Tech over St.

Edward's 3-2.

And then in the second game, it was South Dakota Mines 3-2 over the Huskies.

Now Michigan Tech is taking on Midwestern State today in volleyball as well.

and we do not yet have a score available for that.

Still obviously just getting started or scheduled to be started here just a few minutes ago.

So we'll try to provide you with an update on that game if we have the availability to do so during the broadcast here today.

Huskies will still be on the road next week.

They open GLIAC play at Davenport on Friday and the current record stands at three wins for losses.

So let's hope for a big victory by coach

which pin drills team out there.

in the Rocky Mountains and get themselves back to 500 heading into GLIAC play next week.

Michigan Tech Soccer has started their season 0 and 3 so far, but they've got Cedarville coming up in about an hour looking to break that before they return home for GLIAC play themselves on Friday against Saginaw Valley State and Sunday at noon against Grand Valley State.

So Coach Kuhar and her Huskies on the road here to get this week of non-conference play complete.

and we'll hope that they can finish that off there.

So that's what's going on around the Gliac and in the rest of Michigan Tech Athletics.

We'll step aside for their timeout.

Still waiting for a Pepsi trivia answer, by the way.

The player who had the big return to set up the Huskies late offensive drive against Midwestern State that ultimately resulted in a pick six and Midwestern State touchdown.

The question for you was to name the winner or the returner and Blake Franti of Calumet.

has just won the 12 pack of Pepsi it was Darius Willis who had a big return for the Huskies back in that game it was much needed by the Huskies on that day because they just given up the touchdown with 40 some seconds remaining and if I can pull up my clip here is the play call that I had of that very moment back to return Darius Willis at the 1

Has a lane.

Has another lane.

Willis to the 45-50.

45-40.

Roll out of bounds at the 38 yard line.

That is exactly what Michigan Tech needed right here.

And I'm just making sure there are no flags in the field.

And there were no flags in the field.

So the Huskies got great field position there.

Set up at the Midwestern State 39.

They were only able to convert.

Intercepted and Midwestern state ended up winning that game.

But Darius Willis was the correct answer.

Congratulations to Blake.

Pick up your 12 pack of Pepsi during business hours at our studios in a downtown Hancock.

Now we'll take another time out here on the halftime show presented by Superior Smiles.

And when we come back, we'll go through our scores.

Welcome back our halftime show starting to wrap up here.

Let's get to our scoring summary On the halftime brought to you by superior smiles Huskies and the Mustangs kind of traded off possessions for a while.

It was turnovers largely for the Mustangs, but the Huskies did get on the board first and there were some penalty flags and Some things happening around there, but Elliott Lerner

finds Bryce Kearns for the first score of the game.

56 yards on seven plays.

Two minutes, 28 seconds off the clock.

16 yards out.

Here's how it sounded.

Larner fades one towards the end zone and it is caught with a flag down.

Touchdown Huskies.

Bryce Kearns battling through the contact to dive into the end zone for a touchdown.

The flag is against Midwestern State.

It will not matter.

Touchdown Huskies.

So Bryce Kearns laying out for that one gets the 16 yard touchdown with 302 to go in the first.

It was 7-0 Huskies after Avery Kaczarski hits the extra point.

Avery would have another chance at an extra point after Chase Cook.

And the Michigan Tech defense sets them up with a very short field.

Elliott Lerner runs not once, not twice, but a third and final time.

And we'll actually skip this highlight here because there really wasn't much to be said on that one.

So keep that in mind back there in the booth there.

We're going to skip the second touchdown highlight.

It was a push push that we had to wait what felt like 10 minutes before the officials finally put their arms up and said Elliott scored.

So three plays.

10 yards, a minute 25 off the clock.

Extra point good.

14-nothing, 9-54 to go in the second.

Huskies third touchdown of the game would come up next.

It was a four-play 41 yard drive.

This was set up after Midwestern State went for and failed a fourth down.

Two minutes 16 seconds off the clock and Jake Roof spins his way into the end zone.

And off this time does go to Roof.

Looking for a lane, finds one and reaches...

It falls backwards towards the goal line.

Touchdown Huskies able to keep his balance in reverse.

Jake Roof caches one in with 548 to go in the second quarter.

Huskies lead extended 20 to nothing.

Extra point would be good.

So 21 to nothing is where things would stand at that stage.

The Mustangs would get their first break of the game.

Huskies would go for an onside kick.

It would not be successful.

So short field, capitalized, seven plays, 41 yards in three minutes.

Joseph Dodds after trying and trying again, finally they get it in from one yard out with 247 to go.

It is 21-7.

Huskies fourth score of the game would come under the two minute warning and it was a big play.

Larner to Larner for 53 yards.

We'll play action to roof.

Steps up, throws it down the seam and it's completed to Abram Larner.

20 to the 15.

Race of the Pylon.

Larner's got it.

Touchdown Huskies!

Abram Larner with the big reception from Elliott Larner.

Larner and Larner connect for a big one and the Huskies answer quickly.

27-7 with 1-20 to go here in the first half.

Well, that would not be all.

The Huskies would get another possession from 33 yards.

They would go 37 seconds and it would set up a school record try for the kicker Avery Kacharski.

And Kacharski's kick looks like it's got the distance.

It is off the upright and good.

from 51 yards.

That is the end of the first half.

Avery Kucharski.

A career long makes it 31 to 7 going into half.

and obviously that's where things would stand as we get ready for the second half of play and it is a new school record of 51 yards a career long obviously then for Avery Kacharski so congratulations to him setting that school record here today 31 7 is your score and that was your halftime show brought to you by superior smile offices in Hancock and in Calumet second half kick is coming your way here as the Mustangs will get ready to send it away to the Huskies second half kickoff

brought to you by Fine Line Tire and Hancock.

Fine Line Tire Express in Houghton, where we serve you the guests and back to return, Abel Arner, Jackson Lippert, take the kick here.

As the ball is set up on the left hash by Cohen Moroni, just off the hash really.

Moroni checks either side.

Here comes the run up and the kick.

It's gonna be a shorter one fielded by Larner at the four yard line.

Right up the hash marks goes Abe Larner.

And he'll be taken down, across the 25, near the 26 yard line.

Fusky's offense looking to pick up where they left off in that second quarter.

It is 31-7.

Michigan Tech with the lead here in today's

game.

And Elliott Lerner will run the offense back out there here today.

It's been a bit of an up and down offense in some capacity.

Although the second quarter was much more up than down.

Trying to find a little footing early on in the game.

Nora in motion, fake to him, they'll go to roof.

Now I'm just kidding, they didn't.

They actually go to Nora on the screen pass and Nick through many acrobatic efforts gains maybe a yard.

A lot of...

eye candy out there, even caught me, so they faked it to Nora, then they faked it to Roof, and then Larner kind of sprint outs towards the left side and dumps a screen to Nora, who has a lot of white jerseys ultimately around him to stop for that short gain of a yard.

So second down here for the offense, Larner, bobbles that a little bit, but gets it to Roof, off right tackle, Roof has the first down.

At the 36 yard line, nice run by Jake.

Good balance for Jake Roof.

He's really shown that honestly over the course of the last couple of years, but last week and today I think really showing that nice balance that he's got.

Makes it hard to take him down.

First down from the Michigan Tech, 36 yard line.

All on the right hash here.

Two receivers that side as well, Nora motions across.

This time they do go to Roof and Jake will pick up a yard up the middle.

Second and nine.

So Jake Roof on that first half didn't have a huge number of carries, as a matter of fact it only had five first half carries.

And now he's got a couple here, 17 in last week's game.

But you might suspect that should the Huskies keep a multi-score lead that they may lean on that running attack a little bit more.

And Elliot, here comes pressure, he's hit as he throws and it's incomplete.

Got absolutely buried on the play.

They did not blow a whistle and they should have a lot earlier.

The ruling on the field is an incomplete pass.

Should have said something a little while earlier.

It was picked up there by Trevor Brooks on the Blitz.

And he hit, hell yeah, pretty good on that one.

But the ball did fly forward and an incomplete pass was the right call.

He's needed to make it a little bit earlier for the

health and safety of everybody else, they're really.

So at the 37 yard line Huskies tasked with a third and nine.

Tech will spread, four receivers and

he has to like the call.

Timeout, Michigan Tech, their first charged timeout of the half.

Okay, coach Metlack, not happy.

Takes a timeout, pointing at something or other out there and off the play clock was winding down what exactly was happening but he took a timeout and

aimed his frustrations directly at his young signal collar there.

So their first time out of the half here will come with 12.54 to go in the third quarter.

Elliott's played a pretty good game overall, at least in terms of numbers.

It's been a good day for him, 10 carries, a touchdown, 15 passes, two touchdowns.

He's taken one sack and has not turned the ball over at all here so far today.

This, I believe, is just his fourth career start.

Started against Northern Michigan.

I believe he started one other game at home before Bemidji State last week, so he is certainly green.

Backpedaling dumping its tipped in is received by Abe Larner who got out of the tackle and couldn't get to the sticks He was dead to rights right around the line of scrimmage But somehow I stepped his way out And just losing grip on him out there was Jake Petusik

And now the Huskies at their own 44 yard line have to get two yards.

And how aggressive does Coach Met get here?

Does he drop his QB back for the quick kick?

Or do they go for it on fourth down?

They look like they're gonna go for it.

Hard count.

And another timeout here looks like coming for the Huskies.

Or they'll just take the

flag.

It's lay of game, offense number three.

Five yard penalty, still fourth down.

Well they got a little bit of a jump off the edge on one of the hard counts there from Elliot, but didn't go far enough to warrant the flag, so now they'll take the five yard penalty and trade off for the punt team.

And Avery Kaczarski will continue the punt formation punt duties.

Elliot's done the quick kicks, Avery's done the traditional punts.

Still do have the punters in Ermlich and Bayram on the roster, but as of this point have not yet been green lit by special teams coach Phil Milbraff.

So Hillman will be back around his own 25 for Kaczarski's punt.

It's a bit of a wobbler, but it'll take a run here and he's gonna, well thought about picking it up on the run, but started to bounce away from him.

So Hillman thought better of it there and decides, excuse me, Hickman.

Lewis Hickman ran away from that one and they'll set up at the 25 anyway.

11-47 to go in the third quarter.

Huskies first drive of the second half does not prove fruitful.

We'll see what the Mustangs have in terms of adjustments from their offense here in the second half.

It's Caden Brown runs on out with four receivers and his tail back Joseph Dodds.

Tight end will motion in and it's a handoff two Dodds is 15th of the game and he will get met in the Gap after a gain of five to the 30 Imagine cook was probably one of the players in there for Michigan Tech that have been on his side of the ball go to Dodds again the side steps for a first down taken

at the first down marker by Jackson Zachary, but we do have a flag down on the field and a hold looks like it's going to go on the offense.

Holding, offense number 70.

Ten yard penalty, still second down.

That goes against Roman Hernandez at 6-7-3-15 El Paso, Texas and a transfer from

University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, who I didn't know existed until a GLIAC team played them last season.

So instead of a first down, it's going to be second and 15 back at the 20 yard line for Midwestern State.

Aiden Brown drops back to screen, tight end screen here, and Stiegel not going to get away from Jackson Zachary.

Gets the stop after a gain of one it was a one-on-one matchup there between Stiegel and Zachary and Zachary keeping his shoulders square breaking down his feet Able to make the play they had two blockers out there to try to take him away and neither one got hands on him Well done by Jackson As third and long Brown backs up pressure comes he's chased out of the pocket stands back floats when deep and it is caught

Inside Husky Territory and it's a foot race.

20, 15, 10, 5 touchdowns.

Third and 13, a broken play and they throw one deep to Anje Feliciano.

And he got in behind Journey Solomon and could not be caught.

That is gonna drive coach Brian Thomas absolutely nuts as a defensive coordinator.

Huskies had a chance to get to him a couple of times.

Midwestern might have to take a time out here.

They don't think they wanna go for two and play clock's gonna run out.

And it does.

Lots going on out there, officials are gonna have to talk about this.

The Mustangs ran out their extra point team.

Huskies had their defensive extra point team out there, and then Mustangs decided they were gonna go for two, so here came the offense.

Huskies would have a chance to answer defensively, but it's a matter of how long was the ball placed down for, and should there have been a penalty, should there not have been a penalty?

Delay a game, offense number two.

Five yard penalty,

retry.

So they do call the penalty.

and I felt rightfully so anyway.

So rather than go for two here after a five yard penalty from the seven yard line, they'll now kick the extra point.

The hold is good, the kick is up, and it is also good.

So a big play for the Midwestern State Broncos.

Able to make it 31-14 with 10-33 to go here in the third quarter.

A broken play on third down, goes big.

We'll have the drive details when we come back.

nine.

So the scoring drive for Midwestern State four plays 75 yards and it finishes with a 78 yard touchdown pass that goes from Caden Brown to Anje Feliciano.

Broken play out there and you just got behind the defense to 78 yards later.

It's 31 to 14 Huskies will get the ball back here as the kick is in the air Going towards Larner feels at the three yard line.

He'll try the hashes now break it out towards the left side and Not a lot there either Takes a little bit of a late shot as he was going to the ground

Took some exception to it, but gets up and walks away.

Huskies offense will start at their own 23 yard line here.

Try to do something that they had trouble with last week and had trouble with obviously then last time against Midwestern State is finish the game off here without making it interesting.

Multi-score lead for the Huskies just like last week and now Midwestern State is

Closed it in a little bit, but lots of time to be had for either squad here at this point.

Larner will go to Roof.

I saw a cut back for Roof and he's got running room across the 50, 45 and down about the 42 yard line.

Jake's not really a burner, but he found some running room and took off.

For a nice big gain for the Huskies to get inside Midwest territory Trying to do the math on that one 33 yards 34 yards Somewhere in that range And Larner goes right back to Jake roof looking for the

Lane to run through, there was not really much developing out there, so he went north and got two yards.

And a man down on the field.

Timeout for an injured player of the defense.

Midwestern states, Trevor Brooks is down at the 40 yard line right at the point of contact there for that stop.

Yeah, he's cramping.

I'm guessing that's the case.

Just based on the way he's hobbling there on that left leg.

And he's walking a little bit more regularly at this point here.

But yeah, shouldn't really be a huge cramping issue if you think about it.

Yes, it's definitely warm out there.

Temps in the mid-70s here.

Compared to what Wichita falls deals with during this time of the year and during probably the entirety of training camp, you're looking at temps and I'm sure the 90s at the minimum, maybe even over 100 degrees and that doesn't include the humidity that they deal with down there either.

So unless they're practicing indoors.

But cramps can happen.

And that hopefully is all it is for Brooks as Larner stands back, throws and is intercepted.

Did not get it over the top of the defender on that play and it's picked up by Bryson Lewis Runs it back for about 10 yards just almost right back to the line of scrimmage And Husky's defense gonna have to go right back out there

Time out for an injured player of the defense

and it's another Midwestern state player down on the sideline area And that looks like another cramping situation there as one of his teammates appears to be helping try to stretch him out

Right there on the Husky sideline area and that's actually the man who intercepted it himself Lewis So Lewis might not have been able to go all that far on a return in the first place Lucky for him, I guess he didn't have to jump all that high But he's definitely needing some help to get off the field there

And now he's finally able to put a little bit of weight on it.

And now he'll go under his own power.

So it's just taking a little bit of time here for him to get the stiffness and pain out of that quad or the calf area there.

But they'll get the offense back out there with Midwestern State after an interception.

First Michigan Tech turnover of the day.

And Caden Brown will have his tight end and three receivers, he'll play action fake.

Stairs down the middle, goes to an open receiver, guys fell down and it's dropped.

Oh my goodness.

Louis Hickman had all day.

A defender fell down away from the play.

But he had probably five yards on stamps.

Blackwell was Blackwell there.

And Hickman can't believe it.

I really can't believe it either.

That was a walk in touchdown.

And he's still pacing the sidelines.

He's beside himself.

Well placed football there for Caden Brown.

Huskies gonna have to stop those ones from getting in behind them.

They go to Dodds instead here on second down and Dodds will get about half the necessary yards to the 48.

8-39 and counting to go in the third quarter.

Huskies 31.

Mustangs 14.

Just across the two o'clock hour here at Eastern Time as the throw to the outside is dropped.

Separated from the football by Jameson Stamps.

Collision right at the point of reception there for Stingle.

And a big hit for Stamps able to jar that one free and then incompletions gonna force a punt.

So Nora will be back around his own 15-yard line that could have been.

Close to a first down, now I've got another stoppage

here.

Mid-western state has changed numbers for the pun.

And another late substitution getting out there for mid-western.

And now they can line up and get ready to kick this one away.

And it is a short angled kick, bounces around the 25 yard line and out of bounds.

Huskies offense, gonna go head back out there.

Big play from Stamps able to stop that one and prevent Midwestern State really from getting any extra momentum.

Big play though of course on that one was the drop by Hickman.

What a walk in touchdown there on first down if he had made the reception.

Huskies catch a break and with 18 to go here the offense onto the field with Cam Cornette and Jake Roof in the backfield with Elliot Larner.

Nora will motion from left to right here.

He'll join Elliot or Abram Larner on the right side.

He's going to go to Cam Cornette on the handoff, runs into a pile, bounces outside and drops his shoulders down and I think punished his way close to a first down.

There was nothing happening there in the original area, but good work there by roof and by rolling ball I believe that was to keep the blocks alive and let Cornette Improvise for a first down of the 35 yard line.

Good job by cam Got a few carries last season did not see much action in the backfield last week But is seen a little bit more here today

Again Nora will go from left to right And again they go to Cornette and Cornette up the middle will pick up four Maybe five they're gonna call them short of the 40 I would believe here and they do so 39 yard line gain of

four

So Cameron Cornette was number 13 last year, is now number 14 this year after that jersey was vacated by Elliot Larner, who switched to number three on offense.

Oskie's trio of tailbacks that have seen action today.

Jake Roof has got the nine carries, Cornette and Delgado each with two.

and looking to swing towards the outside.

Elliott's got to make something happen.

Guns it down the middle, open is Nora, and he's inside the 25, tackled inside the 20, and a Michigan Tech first down.

Looks like Elliott's starting to cramp a little bit out there himself too.

Again, it's sunny and hot, and if you're wearing the all black right now, you're certainly feeling that.

Elliot just trying to stretch him out while he's self out while he's looking for the calls from coach Metlack.

More than halfway through the third quarter closing in on six minutes remaining in this third quarter.

Tuskies will head to the line with 10 on the play clock.

Two receivers left, two tight ends right.

They get one tight end right.

It looks like Navotny on the left.

Elliot's gonna run this one.

and despite the cramping feeling he may have been getting there, he gets to the 14, a flag comes in though.

This may give Elliott a chance to stretch a little bit.

Yep, he's gonna get stretched by his center.

Looks like A-B ready to possibly check in if he needs to.

Yeah, they're gonna keep Elliott down right now, so they're gonna have to trade him out for one, so it will be Alex Bueno.

who did not take any snaps yet so far.

Personal

foul, hands to the face, defense number 52.

Half the distance to the goal, first down.

Number 70 may stay in the game.

Thank you sir.

Well, you

hear Brandon DeVries with the mic still hot from our referee.

Talked to Brandon last week after he got his helmet knocked off a couple times.

Said dude got to keep your lid on so I go off guys will stop putting their hands in my face as tight as it can go All right.

Well somebody else puts their hands in Brandon's face helmet comes off and Brandon's able to draw the penalty this time so Got a whistle or a Reset here as a play clock.

They're gonna come over to the sidelines and AB will in fact come in

please reset the play clock to 40 seconds

So Alex Bueno again did not take any snaps last week in game action or in the first half today.

Levy's fighting through an injury of some kind here.

Will take at least a little bit while Elliot Larner tries to stretch out some cramping issues here.

Of course, Bueno, the starter for the bulk of the games last year before injuries derailed some of his season.

And Bueno.

going to keep this one himself.

And he's going to run around the five yard line and he got folded a little bit there.

Not much of a gain.

And Bueno's going to stay in for the time being here.

Bueno got a few snaps during the 2024 season, primarily as a runner.

with Alex Fries as the starting quarterback and then last year took over as the starter and showed us some more of his arm talent.

Now this year has not been able to get any game action.

He is still a team captain, however, and a pitch is dropped and it's taken by Midwestern State.

Although the Huskies are trying to say it was a forward pass.

The ruling on the field is an incomplete pass.

And that is the right call.

It was a forward pass.

Coach Metlach was on it right away and just like that, Bueno's gonna come out and Milarner will come back in.

Just miscommunication between he and his back.

Buskies will catch a break on that one.

In the sense that they will get another chance here for third down and goal.

Ball is at the six yard line.

So Larner will have Roof to his right Delgado to his left Abe Larner spread out wide left Kerns wide right Nora slot right No tight ends in the game here at this time for the Huskies play clock winding down Larner does not get it off in time

Just delay a game offense number three five-yard penalty replay third down

Whether or not that had anything to do with the

Quarterback substitution, kind of throwing some of the timing off on the signals or what have you.

Break there for Midwestern State, pushes the Huskies back five yards, gives Michigan Tech the third and goal from the 11.

Though that does provide a little bit more breathing room for any potential pass into the end zone area as Larner, sprint out to the right, throws and is incomplete.

Short looking for Nick Nora, incomplete.

And we will see Kaczarski and the field goal team come onto the field.

Promising drive just thwarted by cramp issues it looks like and just kind of got disjointed there as soon as Elliot was feeling less than 100%.

Snap and hold are good.

Kick from Avery is up and it is good.

So Kucharski's field goal makes it 34-14 with 4-27 to go here in the third quarter.

We'll step aside for a timeout.

So an eight-play drive went 64 yards, stalled out in the red zone and settled for a 28-yard field goal from Avery Kaczarski.

Second field goal make of the game on three attempts, and the Huskies extend their lead back to 20 points, now 30 to 34 to 14.

427 to go here in the third quarter.

Kaczarski will set the tee down at the 35, a little offset from the left hash, get ready to kick it out to Jaden Kolter and Lewis Hickman.

Instead it's gonna be a short pooch kick, fair catch called for and made a 25 yard line.

By one of the upmen, it looks like probably tight end out there.

See what we've got here, 85 Brock Temple is in fact a tight end, a sophomore from Aubrey, Texas.

Still haven't seen Joey Donahue back in the game since the early marks of this one after the first drive or so of the game.

No, he'd been walking around on the sidelines with his helmet off.

Trying to see if he's still got his uniform on out there, or if he's out of uniform for the rest of the game here today.

But has not seen action quite a

while.

Clock operator, please reset the game clock to four minutes and 27 seconds.

Does look like I see Joey standing down there.

Thank you.

He's still in uniform.

He still doesn't have his helmet on though, so just not taking his pads or anything off.

but likely done for the day.

Kaden Brown flushed from the pocket scrambling trying to make something happen here and now he will tuck and run up the sidelines and shove that abounds by Sabah around the 37 yard line.

We'll pick up the first down but good coverage down the field by the Huskies not allowing that scramble drill to get anybody free.

like they'd seen on the long touchdown earlier.

Brown dropping back again.

Pockets clean, he throws and completes.

Receiver catches both the football and the right hand of Dakota Blackwell.

That was Baez again making the reception.

It's his seventh catch of the day.

They're into Michigan Tech territory at the 48.

And off goes to Dodds.

Dodds wrapped up at the feet and taken down on the play by the Huskies.

Sabah gets the play.

Buddy getting a lot of play here in this game here today.

Stepping up and dumping it off to the running back.

And wrapped up by Marano, finished off with some help from Darius Jones Jr.

But it is enough for a first down to the 37 yard line of Michigan Tech.

And here's where Midwestern state likes to go.

You can get positive yards on every play.

It gets you into that offensive rhythm when moving fast.

Down to 20 on the play clock.

And there is the snap.

Brown chased out by a blitzing save off, throws a short one, and is completed.

And he is wrapped up by Jaden Bolden.

Forward progress will give him the 31 yard line, a gain of six.

They give that reception to Dalton Bailey.

Play action there, here's Brown again, gonna go for it all.

Down the side and it is ripped away by Jameson Stamps.

Fabian Baez.

Had the reception, but again, he basically caught the arm of Stamps who didn't quit fighting for the football at the same time.

And Jameson able to rip it free in the end zone for an incompletion.

Stamps has made some nice plays on the outside today, making that number four from Dante Bazzini.

You see the last couple of years, I'm sure, proud.

I don't know if Dante's in attendance here today or not, but definitely happy with that, I'm sure.

Another short completion on a small slant route there.

Completed to Bailey.

That is gonna be a first down.

Have him at the 22 yard line, first in 10, Mustangs.

Brown.

Throws and meeting with the football at the same time there was Blackwell and holding on through the contact was Bailey We do have a flag down though in the backfield

Holding offense number 55 ten yards from the spot first down Penalty whistled on the operator, please reset the game clock to two minutes two zero zero on the senior center.

Thank you

Paula Day 6-2 310 pounds senior three letters at Midwestern State gets called for the holdings that takes away any completion there and it's back to the 32 yard line first in 20 Brown Dumps one off to his tail back in the flat chased by Chase Cook and knocked out a bounce near the original line as scrimmage will bring up second and nearly 10

It'll be a gain of nine, so second and 11 here for Midwestern.

They've got Coulter in the backfield here as Dodds gets a bit of a break.

Brown surveys here for the snap, then we'll take the shotgun.

Brown can't get out of the reach of Chase Cook who throws him down by a horse collar, perhaps.

No call is made there.

The Huskies wanted a hold as Pierce Miller

I believe blasted through the gap right away and was hauled down by Lede.

And yeah, that's lucky Chase didn't get called.

That was a horse collar.

So a loss instead of four or so on the play.

So both teams evade penalty and they let it play out.

to pass on third.

Here comes Pierce, can't get him down.

He evades and rolls and throws and it is caught by a sliding Dalton Bailey inside the five coming back to the football.

It looked like he'd overthrown his tight end but Bailey slid like an outfielder coming in on that one in front of Dakota Blackwell and another third and long conversion picked up.

by a scrambling Caden Brown.

It's a lot to ask of your defensive backs to cover for that long.

Dakota will come off here as a goal line defense being employed by the Huskies and a timeout being taken by the must.

This is the end of the third quarter.

I will take that back.

It is the end of the third quarter.

Time is running quickly.

Maybe not quickly enough though.

The Huskies have a 20 point lead.

The Mustangs are threatening when we come back for the fourth quarter.

The whole four fingers high and put a fresh 15 in the clock.

It is time for the fourth quarter.

And the Huskies attempting to hold on to a 20 point lead here.

Other third and long conversion by the Mustangs of Midwestern State puts them at the Michigan Tech 3 on a first and goal to go.

New quarterback into the game here for Midwestern State and he's going to throw.

Fades one to the back corner and it is caught for a touchdown.

The throw was made by the backup quarterback, Sean Jastrup, a senior from Walnut, California, and a transfer from Mount San Antonio College.

And he just floated one off to the corner where the completion was made over the top of the Huskies defense, just like that.

Fourth quarter starts with a Mustang touchdown and an extra point attempt coming up here to try and make it a 13-point game.

Snap is a little bit low the kick though is going to be up and good And with 1455 to go here in the fourth quarter.

It is Michigan Tech 34 Midwestern State 21 will hold on to this here And get you our scoring summary Overall for Midwestern State that was 12 plays 75 yards

and a fair amount of time taken off the clock.

Not 100% sure where that drive started in terms of time.

I want to say 427 sounds like a familiar number to me, but that would make it a four minute 32 second drive.

But a lot of plays, a lot of yards and some good plays by the Huskies, but some breakdowns enough to keep Midwestern State in it.

So they'll be back to return Abe Larner Jackson Lipper inside their own 10-yard line here Waiting the kick They only one other Gliac football game in play here today Get you the score updated on that in a moment, but Michigan Tech women's volleyball team has won the first set against Midwestern State today

25-17.

That kickoff looks like it's aiming out of bounds.

It will be fielded instead at the numbers by Larner.

Larner a little stutter and gets taken down at the 22 yard line.

Huskies and Cedarville in soccer to get going in about five to 10 minutes.

Davenport in the fourth quarter leading Truman State 28-14 without seven minutes to go in regulation time there.

Grand Valley winner today or this week.

Barra State a winner this week and Wayne State.

Was not victorious in their opener earlier in the week.

With a couple games still to kick off tonight.

Tiffin at Northern 6 o'clock.

Texas A&M Kingsville at Saginaw Valley 6 o'clock and Roosevelt at Quincy 730.

Larner will stand back and rolled was left.

Set his feet and throws to Bryce Currents.

who could not hold onto that one through some contact.

Defended there by number five, Ethan Dishman.

Dishman's been in the mix of things over the course of the day for Midwestern State.

He's bringing up a second and 10 yards to go here.

Huskies don't want to be holding on here.

Would love to tack on.

Put this one out of reach.

Give it to Jake and Jake gets through the first line and will make it ahead of the 26 yard line for a gain of four, third and six for the Huskies offense to come up.

Again, Jake Roof has been effective here today.

The long of 35 yards has 11 carries now on the day for 80 yards.

And it'll be a play action to him.

Pressure is coming.

Pockets collapsing.

Nora's wide open.

A flag is down.

Nora is down at the 45 of Midwestern State, but a late flag comes in.

Was there a pick on that one?

Is it gonna be PI on the Huskies or holding on the defense?

Looks like it's going against Midwestern State, so it will be a first

down.

Our referee will give us the call here, eventually.

Holding, defense number five.

That penalty is declined.

Result to the place of first down.

Oh, some words

coming over the microphone of our head referee.

Needless to say, the receivers are happy for each other.

Nick Norr with a nice reception there to pick up the first down.

and inside territory of Midwestern State here at the 47 yard line.

It'll go to Roof, down to Nora and Nick gonna get around the edge.

The 40 and 35 good block down field by DeVries, sets up Nora inside the 20 yard line.

And looks like another cramping situation potentially there for Midwestern as one of their defenders a little slow to get up.

Holding, offense number 52.

10 yards from the spot of the foul, down remains one.

Holding called in the back part of that.

Excuse me

from the

previous spot.

So DeVries had a nice block, well down field, but they threw the flag at the early stages of that against Ethan Post.

So the holding penalty is gonna march the Huskies back inside to their own 42 yard line, make it 43 yard line.

Well, nicely designed.

It was the similar action as the reverse that had the pass earlier.

This time it was Norris gonna keep it to run, but wiped out courtesy of the penalty.

So first in 20.

This direction handoff here to Roof.

Again, not able to be taken down by the first guy.

He'll pick up four to five to the 47 yard line.

And a second down here as we've got under 13 minutes to go in the fourth quarter.

Roof will come off the field here for a break.

Delgado will take his spot.

Delgado, as we're told, a little bit more of the home run hitter.

Not that Jake can't have a big 35-yard run earlier.

But you gotta get the blocks to get open field to turn it up to full speed.

And the Huskies, I think, gonna take a timeout here.

Yep.

Timeout, Michigan Tech.

They're second charge, timeout of the half.

Faithful, we're getting a little antsy in the crowd waiting for the snap as the play clock was winding down, but coach Metlack in motion to his QB, just hold it here.

We're gonna let some clock run off here and reset ourselves.

It's gonna be...

their second team timeout so one remaining for the Huskies with 12-18 to go in the fourth quarter.

Tech would love nothing more of course than to drain, block and put up a touchdown here to put it back to a 20-point game.

But certainly a long way to go.

in western state in that third quarter able to pick up six first downs 8 of 11 passing 146 yards or 25 on the ground they were averaging over 10 yards of play in that third quarter now granted that skewed a little bit by the 78 yard pass but it's all averages in the end anyway and

Giving up 10 yards of play on average is not gonna be terribly successful in the long run, so hopefully that defense can toughen up here in that fourth quarter as Larner gonna quarterback draw and he runs into the pile and he's taken down.

Stop made by Charles McKnight, number 98.

Huskies trying to see if they could catch them off guard with that delayed run.

And now we'll get the second play appearance it looks like from Anthony Martin.

Number two in black today.

On offense that is, of course.

Dakota's got the two on defense.

And Martin will motion out of the backfield.

Elliott dropping back, waiting, waiting, throwing to Martin.

It might have been tipped and it's incomplete.

And a punt situation coming up here.

So the holding penalty ends up costing the Huskies.

Took what was a first down inside of Mustang territory and put them into a first in very long that they were never able to recover from.

So Avery Kaczarski will have to send this one back to Midwestern State.

And the Mustangs could turn this into a one-score game here.

Set up here before the snap and the kick and Avery's got a nice one here.

He picked by Hickman.

It's on the ground and it's Husty Ball!

Lewis Hickman couldn't field it cleanly.

And as a result Conor Briones on special teams Johnny on the spot.

Right through the hands through the feet of Hickman.

And Breonis right there to grab it.

And the Huskies with the ball at the 11 yard line of Midwestern State, another gaffe by the Mustangs.

And let's see if the Huskies can pay this one off.

Got in good field position a couple times with Mustang turnovers.

Again, here the Huskies would love to put up a touchdown.

Lot of motion, it's Ruth.

cuts it back to the inside.

Down to the five.

Game of six.

And slow player to get up for the Mustangs.

This is gonna be my test.

Been trying to do this one all day long.

Pulumi Olani-Pakun is the one who was down.

I've been practicing that one.

I hope I said it right for any Midwestern state fans out there or any of his family who might be watching the flow version out here.

If I did not pronounce it correctly, my apologies.

I've been trying to practice here ever since I saw the pronunciation and hopefully we got it right.

Roof on second down, powers up the middle, touchdown Huskies.

Ball came out as he got into the end zone.

But the officials had already marked it a score.

Brandon DeVries lands on the garbage in the end zone to make sure.

But Jake Roof, yeah, that was well into and down before the play finished.

But Jake, in his second rushing touchdown of the day, that's what the Huskies were hoping for.

Referees, Mike went hot for a second there and then he decided against it.

40 to 21 here with 10-28 to go.

Kaczarski's extra point attempt, forthcoming.

Snap and hold, our good kick is low, it's blocked, and Midwestern State's already returned one of these, but Ivan Ermlich does not allow it to happen.

Midwestern State returned one of those last year, last week.

So, good job by Ermlich.

to be on the spot for that one.

Although I say 40 or 23 is still a free possession game, so mathematically, I don't know that it matters.

But from every other perspective, we'll say it does.

We'll take a quick 30-second break, 10-28 to go, fourth quarter, Huskies 40, Mustangs 21, Unmix 93 in closed sports.

It's game number 30 in his Michigan Tech career.

And I've got him for rushing touchdowns 9 and 10 in his Husky career.

Overall touchdowns 11 and 12.

He's got a couple of receiving scores in his book.

Kacharski's kick is away and fielded in the end zone by the Mustangs.

This is Hickman, almost blew a tire, stayed on his feet enough to cross the 20 yard line and the Mustangs offense will come back out.

While Jake Roof finishes off the scoring drive for five yards, it didn't take a lot by the Huskies overall.

It was just two plays in 11 yards.

But Jake Roof knocking on the door of 100 yards here today.

And the offense for Midwestern State.

Moves fast, they'll need to here.

Pressure comes.

Moving to the left and throwing left and completing.

And staying on his feet and moving ahead.

The receiver, I wanna say that was Bayez number 13 making the reception there.

And it is a first down for Midwestern State.

At the Mustang 37 yard line, gained about 13 on that play.

Brown is flush from the pocket again, here comes Pierce.

And he'll take him down at the feet as he lets the ball go.

And the receiver out of bounds when he made the reception.

It is incomplete, second 10.

Well, good job by Pierce there to finish off the play, but to do so cleanly, referee was staring at it the entire time.

Yeah, receiver could not keep his feet in bounds, guarded there by the waiting eyes of Terence Martin and Jackson Zachary.

9-38 to go, fourth quarter here, second and 10.

Brown with the snap, stands up in the pocket, throws deep and it is an incomplete pass with a flag being thrown.

Journey Solomon, I think believed he was gonna get beaten there so he did not let Tyler Brown get

behind him.

Pass interference, defense number 21.

15 yard penalty, first down.

Ultimately that was probably the right call for Journey to hold on that play or try to stop him from getting free.

He was close to him the whole time, but didn't want to let him get behind like we've seen a couple times already today.

One for a touchdown or one that should have been a touchdown.

So play it safe, lived another down here.

Brown stands in, throws, it may have been deflected a little bit.

It is completed across the 40 down to the 36 at first down Midwestern State.

And quickly up to the line here.

Still with his four receivers.

Brown stands back, fires and completes.

Bolden makes the reception, or the tackle rather, at the 15 yard line.

Reception made by Dominic Cox.

For Cox that's going to be his third reception of the day.

And now they'll go heavy to the right side, trips right to the short side of the field as the ball's in the right hash.

Brown's gonna look that way, throws, finds a man, open, touchdown.

Looks like Case Peacock, the wide receiver, transfer from North Texas.

was the beneficiary of that touchdown reception.

And very quickly, last in two minutes, it was a touchdown drive for Midwestern State.

Drive started at 10.20.

And then 42 later, we have 40 to 27.

Again, the defense is going to have to guard against a two-point conversion.

They are a bit in a bit of disarray here Brown throws it's tipped away incomplete Peacock was down in the end zone And the two-point conversion is no good so it stays a 13-point game Not well, I guess the math would have made it 11 you're talking a field

goal in our two-point conversion

So I guess that is the call that would have made sense, but two-point conversion fails with 838 to go Michigan Tech 40

Midwestern State 27.

As mentioned, the scoring drive took a minute and 42 seconds.

It was seven plays and 78 yards down the field for Midwestern State.

The resulting touchdown, Caden Brown across the middle to Case Peacock for 16 yards.

The two point conversion was no good.

Huskies leading 40 to 37, 40 to 27, excuse me, 40, 27.

Huskies scoring 24 in the second quarter to really take control of the game.

And the kickoff, gonna drift.

towards the Midwestern sidelines where it's fielded by Larner.

Inside the five yard line, Abram Larner is gonna be tackled before the 20 yard line, it looks like.

And Michigan Tacks offense will need to go to full field.

Of the Husky scoring drives today, they've gone 56-10, 41.

75, 33, 64, and 11 yards.

So they certainly can go long down the field.

It just hasn't been necessary as much here today.

If I really wanted to get deep into analytics after the game here, I'd start breaking down.

Where were they on the field when they scored?

Where were they on the field when they had to kick it away?

As Jake Roof gets the carry.

goes off the right side and will be chopped down around the 24 yard line.

Gain of four on the play.

Second and

six.

Huskies of course going to be in no hurry here as two touchdowns right now necessary to get out in front.

And I want to try to put the pressure on Midwestern states should that situation arise later on.

Give that defensive break as well.

And Curran's just going to reset here.

And off goes to Roof.

For Daylight, not a lot to be had.

Might have got himself a yard.

Gonna look at a third and five here for Michigan Tech's offense.

So

when it's all said and done here so far, Kaden and Brown, excuse me, has thrown 24 of 41 for 310 yards.

Elliott Larner's 14 of 22, same line as last week, but 240 through the air.

Also a dozen carries for 33 yards.

Jake Ruff though is the...

Big one so far here today over 100 on 15 carries And it's gonna be fake to him Elliot's gonna try to get a foot race to the edge nice little hurdles gonna get him across the 30 Has a smart play there for Elliot Larner He saw the defender diving in to come towards his feet and Little dive little hurdle over them

Nice job by Elliott, keeps the possession going for the Huskies, now under seven minutes to go fourth quarter.

And again, taking their time here to get the signals from the sidelines, 15 on the play clock.

Larner's got three to the right side, ball left hash.

Goes to Roof.

Tackled in the backfield, solo stop there.

The defensive line by Traverious Bates.

Another Stephen F. Austin product from Denton,

Texas.

Huskies will trade Gabe Popko's tight end position for Samuel Delgado's running back spot.

Will have two tailbacks in there for Elliott.

Down to 10 on the play clock.

Husky's gonna jog out to position here.

Down to five.

Elliott, motioning his man out and takes a snap.

Gonna be a quarterback run.

Elliott bounces to the outside, gets a block.

Elliott's got the sidelines.

45-40, 35-30.

Steps down just before the 25.

Nice job by Samuel Delgado, picking up the one extra block down the edge.

Really set that one free for a big game.

Jake Roof got the initial block and then Delgado at the Husky 40 with a block that gave Elliott another 30 plus.

Big run there for Elliott.

And down to 5-12 and counting here in the fourth quarter.

Just what the doctor ordered.

Huskies have possessed now for about five, excuse me, three and a half minutes.

and only about five left for Midwestern State.

They don't even have the football.

Larner goes to Delgado.

Delgado shakes, gets to the 30, give him the 20.

Gain him six.

Time of possession is favoring Michigan Tech even leading into this drive.

Compounding now.

We saw some cramping issues with Mustang players earlier and gotta believe that at this point here they're wearing down even further.

It's a warm day by UP standards, maybe not by North Texas standards, but it's a hot one out there for these guys with temperatures in the mid 70s.

As Larner goes back to the back, it is Delgado.

And Delgado's gonna be down inside the 10.

And a late flag comes in as Larner got put on his back.

And I think Dishman's gonna get another penalty here.

It's gonna be an after the play penalty.

As

Abram got put down on his back.

After the play was over, unsportsmanlike conduct, defense number five.

Half the distance to the goal, first down.

This is number five's first and sportsman-like foul of the game.

And I believe that is gonna be penalty number eight for Midwestern state.

Huskies also have eight penalties today, which I'm sure is not gonna go over well with Coach Metlack.

However, so far I've been able to overcome those penalties.

with four minutes to go in the game here, 40 to 27.

Techwood again.

Really love to put a nail in this coffin here with a touchdown drive.

Really blows out whatever meaning daylight Midwestern state may see.

Low snap and off goes to Reef.

Bounces it to the outside, can he get to the corner?

Not all the way.

Tackle made on the outside by Midwestern State at about the two yard line by Trevor Brooks.

And a timeout.

Timeout, Midwestern State, their first charge timeout of the half.

So they have two more timeouts and a two minute timeout.

But from their perspective here,

being second down and goal to go from the two.

And if the Huskies score here, that all but ends it.

Three scores with three minutes or whatever to go.

That's a lot to ask from anybody.

It's not impossible until the clock hits zeroes completely.

It's not over, but...

percentages would heavily favor the Huskies should they put one more touchdown on the board here.

A field goal would help but making only a 16 point game that's still just a two possession game.

But second in goal from the two yard line, Husky offense going to head back out there.

Husky's bringing an extra offensive lineman, I think that double check by Greg Miles, number 54, going to be basically offset as a tight end on the right side.

Larner's going to keep, Larner's going to score.

Touchdown, Husky.

The result of the play is a touchdown.

56 must sit out for one play as his helmet came off.

The Huskies were going to go for two.

They want to do that because Nason's got to come off.

So then they're going to have to go for and coach Metlach's drive to take a timeout here.

He will just to get his center back out in the field.

Timeout, Michigan Tech.

Their last charge timeout of the half.

I don't think with all the other stuff going on trying to make the decision for two points I don't know that he heard that it was Nathan who lost his helmet there so you wanted to go for two but is he going to go for two without his starting center he's not so therefore takes the time out

Rather than try to run the kick team out there and go for the extra point, it's steady.

He'll take the time out, get his offense regrouped for a two-point conversion.

Try to make it 48-27.

Right now at 46-27, again, you're still looking at a three-score game.

And with 318 on the clock, most of this is academic.

I will say a nice offensive output in terms of points for the Huskies here today.

And yards really in the end right now, 460 yards.

As Larner looks and takes the snap.

He's gonna run it and he'll get in.

Two point conversion is good.

48 to 27.

Huskies have the lead with three, should be three 18 I think to go here in the fourth quarter.

We will step aside scoring drive information coming up for you right after this.

You're listening to Husky football on mixed 93 and flow sports.

Go Huskies!

Well, the scoring drive there for Michigan Tech, 10 plays and 80 yards.

Five minutes, 12 seconds taken off the clock, exactly what you were hoping for for Michigan Tech there to eat up as much of the clock as they can and put up a score to put this one nearly to bed.

Kickoff is fielded at the goal line by the Mustangs and it's Hickman.

And he's at the 30 and 35, here comes a flag.

He will be forced out of bounds around the 40 of Michigan Tech, but this one appears to be coming back a ways.

Avery Kucharski actually making the tackle on that play.

But a flag well inside Mustang territory, you're gonna likely bring this back.

During the kick, holding, return team number three.

10 yards from the spot of the foul, first down in the Western State.

All right, so they flag out the 30 yard line, march it back 10 more.

So instead of the Huskies 40, it is the Mustangs 20, a swing of 40 yards courtesy of that holding penalty.

It's the second time that one's happened here for Midwestern State today where they've had a nice return negated by a hold.

So I suppose there's probably a reason why it was a nice return.

It's because there was holding.

As Brown hands off to Dodds, excuse me, different tail back in here.

You'll pick up the first down as he's hit by Dakota Blackwell, carried by number 23 of Midwestern State.

That is Ace Trailer, a 5'10", 175 pound freshman from Frisco,

Texas.

Brown looks to throw to the outside, it was off target a little wide to the sidelines, an incomplete pass there.

Intended for Jose Rangel, tight end, another freshman from Denton, Texas.

Second and 10, this will be at their own 36 yard line, that first run there for Trailer was good for 16.

And another hand off here goes to Trailer.

Trailer's got the first down, got midfield, taken down by Bolden and by Morano.

First down mid-western state, 2-30 to go, fourth quarter, ball in the Husky 48 yard line.

Brown wants to throw, passed away, good coverage down the field.

and then dumps it off toward the sidelines.

It is completed.

It looks like the Peacock for a first down inside the 35 yard line.

Case Peacock who had really only gotten action or his name called for being the holder on the extra points.

Has now got a couple of big catches here in the fourth.

Dropping back to pass here again is Caden Brown.

He's got a lot of room to run if he wants it.

Hurdles over a Husky.

and is taken down by Jackson Zachary the Husky player who this is the two-minute warning was hurtled is a new one in there for the Huskies number 38 Brady back a sophomore from Clarkston Michigan and as you have heard we have hit the two-minute timeout with 159 to go in the fourth quarter Michigan Tech 48 Midwestern State 27 this is Husky football on mix 93 in flow sports

But again, the Huskies over 400 yards of offense, but same for Midwestern state.

Huskies have pretty much gone almost 50-50 in terms of the yardage on the ground compared to the air and it's about a three-to-one difference right now air to ground for Midwestern state, but right now with the Mustangs trailing Doesn't come as much as a surprise.

Don't they have picked up some good yardage on the ground here on this possession so Caden Brown's gonna drop back here on first down a little dump off to his tail back ace trailer trailer is gonna get spun out of bounds by Brendan Keele

after a modest game there of three inside the 20 yard line 150 and it stops the clock there as he's out of bounds and they go to trailer again up the middle he runs and he hits some but well somebody hits him real hard I don't know if that was Pierce or who exactly was in the middle of that who made the contact

It looked like Sabah was in there.

Still didn't even really get a good look, even with the replay.

Came in so quickly.

Pierce was double team, so it wasn't Pierce Miller.

125 and counting here in the fourth.

Midwestern State does not appear to be in any huge hurry right now.

It's Caden Brown gonna drop back and step up and roll and spin and throw and be out of bounds.

It's gonna bring up fourth down.

Chased around there by looks like John Hagelstein Making him work back there so fourth down coming up here for the Mustangs You know listening to more that stand gang podcast with coach Renner this week.

Yes winning is something that you want to do here But obviously winning in your conference is going to be important that starts next week for them But really getting better

is something that he hopes to do here in these non-conference games and whether or not that mission was accomplished, I guess.

I'll have to listen to next week's Stand Gang podcast.

Kayden Brown throws, Peacock cannot hold on.

It is ripped out by Terrence Martin.

T-Mart makes the game ending play basically for the Midwestern State offense with 107 to go here.

Huskies will likely be able to run this one out here for a victory.

This afternoon Honestly 48 to 27 does not really feel like the score of what this game has been in terms of how tightly contested is really you look more at the plays and the yards number I would say that really feels more of an indicator of how close it is 900 combined yards of total offense here in today's game

And Larner will hand off to Roof.

Roof has a nice pulling block ahead of him and he's going to pick up a first down.

That was Max Mason.

As they get close to the 30 yard line, under a minute to go now.

Clock pauses while they get ready to set the ball here.

And

the clock is now running.

Tech is in no hurry to snap it, it seems, and they will...

Get ready to kneel down.

I don't know why they're heading the lineman Into their three-point stances already here with still 15 now on the play clock Or under 40 here.

I think Elliott could take the kneel down now if he wants to And he will And we're gonna go ahead and meet at midfield

Huskies get their revenge on Midwestern State after a heartbreaking loss in Texas a couple years ago back in 2022.

Tech gets the better of this one here today and the overall series between these two teams will be one in one.

Michigan Tech 48, Midwestern State 27.

We'll head down to the field.

Welcome back.

Here we are.

I'm going to turn that down a little bit for you here on field level.

Huskies 48 Mustangs 27, your final score at Curly Stadium here today.

Head coach Dan Metlock going to join us for our post game conversation here in just a few moments, but.

Well done offensive game overall for the Huskies in the end over 450 yards of total.

Oh.

Defense gave up some yards, but also got some takeaways.

And that's really where the numbers differed there.

450 yards or so of offense.

Four Midwestern stayed here today as well, but a couple of interceptions.

As I see coach.

But yeah, a couple of big turnovers early in the game really turned this game into Michigan Tech here.

as head coach Dan Mellak coming on over here.

First thing for you coach Longsleaves certainly a choice for you today as it's 70 some odd degrees outside here.

You saw some guys cramping in the end but a beautiful day out here for football.

Just overall thoughts on

today's game.

Yeah I mean I think there's a lot of good.

Obviously you get that many turnovers in first half.

Keep them off the scoreboard.

You know, we got a little bit greedy with the surprise onside and gave them a short field where they only got their only score of the first half.

So put that one on myself, right?

But overall, I thought we played well.

There's some hiccups in there.

Obviously, we got to get fixed.

And first two drives out of half, offensively, I didn't love.

But found a way to get some points in the end of the third quarter, fourth quarter, and put it away.

So overall, not ever going to be mad putting up 48 points and winning.

Yeah, well, the couple times that Midwestern State was able to get behind you guys, it seemed like it was something where their quarterback had to improvise things.

It's tough to ask a secondary to cover for four, five, six seconds downfield.

Yeah, it is.

But we knew that coming in that that was going to be part of their game.

And again, same thing we talked about after last week, just bad eyes.

You know, you got a job to do, has nothing to do when you're 40 yards deep in the backfield, looking at the cue in the backfield.

So I get that it's hard.

But at the same time, there's still no excuses for that many people to be wide open.

Thank God they dropped the first one.

that would have gotten to a two-score game early in the third quarter.

Otherwise, the momentum would have been completely flipped at that point.

But we got some stuff we got to get corrected, and there's no question about that.

But we will.

You talked

about the defense, the turnovers at the beginning of the game, whether it was the first play that they had.

There were a couple of interceptions from Chase here today.

How much did that really kind of set the momentum for your team going in the

right direction?

Yeah, of course.

I think that was the one thing that we were scared about.

Not scared, nervous about coming into the game.

Is this their athleticism, that skill spots, and the creativity of the Q.

You get off the field that many times in the first half with that many turnovers.

Obviously, we'll take that every single weekend.

So again, a lot of good, but it just gets back to what we talked about last week.

We got to be good at putting teams away when we get a chance as well.

And you're up by three scores.

Having guys run free at the end of a game, that's just inexcusable.

So a lot of good, but there's some stuff that we got to get fixed.

So

good and bad from this perspective is Joey Donahue, who obviously got the starts early on here, did not seem to play much after that first series or so.

and played pretty well.

Your thoughts on those two guys here and where we're standing with

those?

Yeah, we'll find out exactly what Joey's injury is when we get off.

Obviously, it's not a good sign.

first play of the game to come out with a knee injury.

So we'll get that looked at.

And hopefully it's not anything bad.

But you know, Marty, again, for a freshman to come in and play the way he did, there's some some things that, you know, coach is going to talk to him about when we get done.

But he's a physical kid, plays fast.

And obviously the moment wasn't too big for him.

So I'm proud of him for that.

Avery kicking a now

school record 51 yard field goal.

How how close were you to whether or not you needed to get those extra couple yards to give him the chance?

Well, we knew we I mean, we couldn't kick it from where we're at on third down.

So we were trying to

do exactly what we did get him five more and let him try it from there and obviously he's got the leg talent you know we knew that obviously going into the wind was a little bit of a question but you know there's two or three seconds left before the half we'll give him that shot every time before we just chuck one into the end zone so it was good to see him hit it though you know you push the first one right from chip shot range and then come back and do that a couple minutes later it was good to see.

Talked about him in pregame Jake Roof heck of a day running the football for him today.

Yep I love it.

Jake does obviously he runs hard every time he's got the football and you know there's some cuts that he you know might have missed and you know he's

Kicking himself for that but that run that he made at the end to get in you know an all-out blitz you just put his head down and you know pinned it forward and obviously fell forward into the end zone so Great effort by him last thing for you here as we get ready for Emporia State Not somebody that a lot of

us

know a whole lot about what's going to be the game plan this week Well, we got to get back to healthy so today and tomorrow with our treatments obviously we got some guys that are dinged up It was a physical game a lot of guys played a lot of reps and warm weather so you know we've got to

get some guys back to health, but same thing.

We'll get back to work on Monday and turn the page onto Emporia and don't know a whole lot about them.

Obviously we watched a little bit over the summer, but gonna have their hands full again, right?

Athletic at their place, a trip we've never made before, so but we'll have them ready.

Well, Avery will have the playlist ready for you

in the locker room.

Go enjoy it.

I appreciate it.

Thank you.

Alright, welcome back inside the press box here.

Winded, but ready to deliver you a post game shell.

48 27 Huskies get the victory here this afternoon over Midwestern state.

And it didn't necessarily start the greatest overall.

I mean, yeah, the Huskies got some turnovers early, but.

You know, weren't able to capitalize on some of those mistakes by Midwestern Stater on all of those mistakes that Midwestern State had made at the beginning with the fumble and the, you know, interception, a turnover on fourth down.

So could have gotten off to a hotter start as a result.

But in the end, a 48 to 27 victory is not something that the Huskies coaching staff is going to be upset about as you heard coach Metlac say there in the post game interview.

It's an offensive day where the Huskies put up 472 yards of total offense on 66 plays for Midwestern State.

It was 77 plays, 443 yards.

We knew they were going to run fast, and they definitely tried to use the tempo to their advantage here today.

And to some degrees it worked.

You know, it was able to, you know, keep there.

Offensive rhythm the way that they wanted it to certainly once things got moving It was a little easier for them to be in tempo and in rhythm at the same time but the downsides of that is that they ended up being Seven minutes short on time of possession despite running 11 more plays on the game They were eight of 16 on third downs and over three on fourth downs a lot of passing certainly throughout the course of day not

an extremely high percentage when you think of it, but 27 of 47 passing overall.

That's, you know, that's a lot.

You don't usually have to defend nearly 50 passes a game, as much as you can tech defense.

You don't see that all that often.

I mean, it happens once in a while, certainly.

Probably think back two years ago, I think to the day.

against South Dakota Mines when Michigan Tech and Mines went toe-to-toe 52 to 50 in that game and the four overtime.

There's probably 50 passes defended that day.

But again, it's just it's not a common thing.

Today, you get Joseph Dodds running 17 times for 70 yards and a touchdown and overall, you know, along of only nine yards, the Huskies bottled him up well, but he didn't have a lot of negative rushes on the day.

Overall, he gained 72 yards and only lost two of those back.

So, you know, almost like the Barry Sanders Esquare, you know, you maybe don't get a gain on every play, but you don't lose yardage on those plays.

And that's certainly an important thing to stay at least with the sticks as best that you can.

as a running game.

Trailer had a little bit of a burst there at the end.

Three carries for 34 yards.

Brown ran eight times for six yards.

Was sacked three times overall.

And Coulter had two carries for one yard.

They did spread the ball around offensively in terms of receivers.

Leading receiver for receptions was Baez with eight for 63 yards.

Feliciano led

with 78 yards, but it was only on the one reception for his big touchdown.

Then you have Cox three for 52, Bailey three for 38, Stiegel had four for 34, Peacock two for 31, two receptions for Dodds as well for seven yards, one for, it says Matthews, which I don't recall even.

Having Malachi Matthews make a reception, but that doesn't mean, of course, he didn't.

So he had a catch, Colter with a catch, and Brown and Trailer each with one, as well all those for single-digit yardage.

On the Husky side of things, Elliott Larner finished 14 of 22 passing for 240 yards, two touchdowns and an interception.

Beneficiaries of his receptions were Abram Larner 7 for 104 yards and a touchdown including the 53 yarder.

Nick Nora 4 for 95 and Bryce Kearns, who was the leader in the clubhouse there early on, finished with 3 for 41 and a touchdown.

So they only managed to get catches for

three individual players here today, which I'm sure is something that they're going to want to look at overall and try to make more players get involved with it.

I mean, it worked out today, certainly from that aspect.

Jake Roof was very good on the ground.

18 carries, 113 yards to touchdowns.

Elliott 15 carries, 85 yards to touchdowns, including the long 45 yarder there in the fourth quarter.

Samuel Delgado 4 for 21, camcord net 2 for 14.

Alex Bueno had a carry for a yard there and some substitute action there while Elliott was getting stretched out from his cramping issues that he appeared to be going through.

and then Nick Nora had two running attempts overall but did net two yards of loss on those plays.

Both teams pretty even in first downs 26 for the Huskies 25 for the Mustangs again rushing 43 for 232 at 5.4 per clip for the Huskies 30 for 111 at 37 a clip for the Mustangs who on their side They did more through the passing game averaging 12 and a half per catch Huskies at 17 though per catch.

So still doing good work there 715 yards per play compared to 5.75

penalties Huskies probably still in that range where it's too many eight for 85 you know the coaching staff usually not very happy with any penalties high numbers maybe by recent standards anyway there and for Midwestern State 9482 and those are the individual numbers their offense and total team numbers

It's taken a look to see if anything else on the by quarter stuck out to me too much.

It doesn't really.

So let's flip it over to the tackling aspect of it.

Defensively Chase Cook led the way for the Huskies with ten stops.

Only player on both teams with double digits including two TFLs on the day and two interceptions.

Dakota Blackwell with seven doing a great job in run support.

Jaden Bolden doing the same muddy also with seven tackles Jackson Zachary of six Joey Marano with five Hegelstein stamps with four Miller shop Martin keel Donahue Actually, I guess Joey didn't have to he had the rest had three joey's listed with two.

I don't think he Had anything else besides the initial Play there currents Isaacson pop mullin

Zane Schwartz and Darius Jones also getting on the tackling list for the Huskies Leading the way for Midwestern State in their tackles was Nathaniel Hall.

He finished with eight stops today Then it was Ronald Manning with five You had Trevor Brooks With four also with four on the day you had Joe Hollis and You also Bryson Lewis with four

host of others with three and two and one.

They had a pretty long list of guys who made tackles on the day overall, so they did a good job spreading things out that way.

From a special teams perspective, Avery Kaczarski was two of three on his field goals for a long of 51 and also made all of his point after attempts that he went for here today.

There were no field goal attempts.

for midwestern state here today, but they did average on their punts about 35 yards per punto and they did punt twice.

Huskies averaged about 40 yards per punt on theirs.

So that's all of the numbers.

And when we come back, we will narrow it down and pick a superior national bank, superior player of the game here today.

Huskies winning 48 to 27 over midwestern state on mix 93.

At Superior National Bank, our number one priority is making sure our customers have a superior experience every time they bank with us.

That's why we have a variety of excellent checking accounts to fit your banking needs.

Every new checking account comes with a free gift, contactless debit card, and 24 hour access with Superior National's online banking portal.

Come see why our community has trusted us with their banking needs for over 130 years.

Superior National Bank, member FDIC, and always a superior experience.

Well, this is a difficult call for me.

I've got one of two players to make a Superior National Bank superior player of the game here today.

And because of the way the offense or the defense rather set up the offense so many times here today, I'm going to go ahead and go with the defensive player.

I'm going to go with Chase Cook here.

Again, the only player who had double digit tackles on the day, finishing with 10.

He had two interceptions, two tackles for a loss, all of those categories leading the teams and really both teams.

McKnight had two tackles for loss for Midwestern State, but that's the only player with double digits in that realm.

I guess multiple in that realm.

Nobody else double-digit tackles besides Chase and he had the two interceptions on the day here as well.

Probably instrumental I would say on a lot of those runs not going for double digits with Dodds.

As good of a running back as he appears to be, they really bottled him up to modest gains at most and I think Chase had a lot to do with that.

So he'll be our superior national bank, superior player of the game.

Honorary nod on the offensive side to Jake Roof because anytime you have a runner go for over 100 yards and two scores Certainly something to take note and be proud of and he had a heck of a game today and definitely Was a big piece to why the Huskies were able to score 48 points here today Speaking of Jake Roof's touchdowns.

Let's go ahead and go through our scoring summary here today

There were a lot of scores to be had to say the least and we will go ahead and start at the beginning in the first quarter it was a Play from Bryce Kearns who was lunging his way into the end zone to try and make the reception Despite there being some contact and a penalty flag being thrown first touched on in the game Elliot Larner to Bryce Kearns Larner fades one towards the end zone and it is caught with a flag down

Touchdown Huskies!

Bryce Kearns battling through the contact to dive into the end zone for a touchdown.

The flag is against Midwestern State.

It will not matter.

Touchdown Huskies.

Keeping his eye on the football enough with the bodies in front of him.

and also staying in bounds right there too because that was right along the sidelines, you know, and with the contact might have been tough to do.

So credit going to Bryce for that nice pass for Larner.

Extra point was good with 302 to go in the first seven nothing Huskies.

Tech would get the second one on the board as well.

And again, I'll skip this highlight like we did back in the first half because there really isn't much of a highlight to have the Huskies come in with three running backs go for the push push.

And after much deliberation, the officials finally decided that yes, Elliott did get in and the touchdown was good on a three-play ten-yard drive.

It was set up by the second interception from Chase Cook on the day.

Couldn't take it all the way back, but a tipped ball and good play for Chase to set up the offense in great position.

14-nothing Huskies, 9-54 to go second.

Still in the second quarter, the first of his two today, Jake Roof with a nice balance play again, finishing a six-play drive.

It took 41 yards and two minutes and 16 seconds off the clock.

Roof his first touchdown of this Saturday afternoon.

And off this time does go to Roof.

Looking for a lane, finds one and reaches...

It falls backwards towards the goal line.

Touchdown Huskies.

Able to keep his balance in reverse.

Jake Roof caches one in with 5.48 to go in the second quarter.

Huskies lead extended 20 to nothing.

extra point for Avery Kaczarski again good and it was 21 to nothing though.

As you heard in the post game coach saying that you know he might have gotten a little bit greedy going for the onside kick right there.

It wasn't really a huge surprise I guess to Midwestern State at that point and maybe it's not going to be as much of a surprise on some guys going forward in general but they were able to pick that one up go 41 yards and seven plays three minutes off the clock.

Dodds finishes it off for a touchdown and extra point 21 to seven with

247 to go and you know you thought okay well you're 247 you got one possession left let's go ahead and do something with it Huskies took four plays 75 yards and Abram Larner catches from Elliott Larner will play action to Roof steps up throws it down the seam and it's completed to Abram Larner 20 to the 15th race of the pylon Larner's got it touched down Huskies

Abram Larner with the big reception from Elliott Larner.

Larner and Larner connect for a big one and the Huskies answer quickly.

27-7 with 1-20 to go here in the first half.

That one was good from 53 yards and it was 28-7 with a minute 20 to go.

the Mustangs weren't able to do anything with the football and they ended up giving it back to the Huskies and then Huskies go five plays 33 yards in 37 seconds.

Avery Kacharski hits a 51 yard field goal and it is not only his personal long, but it is a new school record 51 yards.

So congratulations to Avery on that.

And it set us into halftime with a 31 to 7 Michigan Tech lead.

Huskies did get the ball first to start the second half.

Weren't able to do anything with it.

Midwestern State was, Caden Brown goes across on a scramble play on a third and 13.

It goes 78 yards as Anje Feliciano gets in behind Michigan Tech's defense, couldn't get caught, and the extra point attempt was good.

So 31 to 14, the score.

Then you'd have another field goal from the Huskies in the third quarter.

Kaczarski goes out from 28 yards, eight plays 64 yards, 351.

The Mustangs would take the rest of that third quarter and into the first play of the fourth quarter.

Sean Jastrup comes in for the first and I think only play came in for the entire game.

Finds Dominic Cox on a fade to the back pylon for four yards.

12 plays 75 yards and it's 34 to 20.

So we're right back into it here are the Mustangs.

They do get the extra point there, so 34-21.

Then Jake Roof gets his second rushing touchdown of the game, and this would be touchdown number five, I think, then on the day for Michigan Tech, and goes up the middle after another short field there for the Huskies, and he caches it in for five yards.

Roof on second down, powers up the middle, touchdown Huskies!

Ball came out as he got into the end zone, but the officials had already marked it a score.

Brandon DeVries lands on the garbage in the end zone to make sure.

The extra point would be blocked and a nice tackle on that block by Ivan Ermlich to go ahead and make sure that Midwestern State doesn't take it back to the house like they did last week against Missouri Southern State.

I don't know that would have been a big turning point in the game like it was at that stage, but certainly they have some experience doing so.

But so nice heads up play there by Ermlich to make the stop.

So 40 to 21 is your score at that point.

Caden Brown in the next drive.

7 plays 78.

masterfully moves it down the field in a minute 42 seconds finds Case Peacock for 16 yards the extra point there or the two-point conversion is no good and the Huskies would then get the ball back.

And it was Elliott Larner again for his second rushing touchdown of the day.

This was the drive the Huskies needed.

10 plays, 80 yards, 5 minutes, 12 seconds off the clock, essentially bleeding this one out.

Huskies, quarterback gets the final score of the game.

Greg Miles, number 54, going to be basically offset as a tight end on the right side.

Larner's going to keep, Larner's going to score.

Touchdown Huskies.

The result of the play is a touchdown.

56 must sit out for one play as his helmet came off.

And you hear the tail end of that one.

It was actually important the Huskies had to burn a time out there to get Max Mason onto the field for the two point conversion that the Huskies wanted to go for at that point.

Larner runs that one in as well to complete the scoring possession 48-27.

The Huskies are able to hold off.

Midwestern State all the way down the field.

They get a shot into the end zone.

It's knocked away on fourth down.

Huskies able to take one run and then kneel it out for the final.

48-27 Michigan Tech gets the victory here today.

We'll take one more final timeout and get you set for what's to come next week and so on the schedule for the GLIAC here today as our post game show ready to wrap up from Curly Stadium right after this on MIX 93.

Miss, your burger is served.

Thank you.

And if I may suggest a pairing, this is our finest Pepsi Zero Sugar.

The sweetness of Pepsi perfectly balances the savory notes of your burger, while the citrus and carbonation elevates the taste for a truly stunning flavor profile.

Bon appetit.

Now that is one perfect combination.

If this is how the other half lives, I could get used to this.

burgers

deserve Pepsi.

All right, welcome back one final time at Curly Stadium.

48 to 27 Michigan Tech getting the victory here this afternoon in non-conference football and will be on the road.

Or in the air if you will next week as the Huskies travel to Emporia, Kansas to take on the hornets of Emporia State first meeting ever between those two squads and we'll have that for you here on mix 93 according to what I see out there.

It is a two o'clock eastern kickoff a One o'clock central time kickoff so that would get us on the air half an hour beforehand this according to the Emporia State

website there.

I know the Michigan Tech one has it listed as noon, but I think that might just be a time zone miscalculation on that one in some capacity.

So I've got it listed for a two o'clock Eastern start from Emporia, Kansas next Saturday.

Meanwhile, the rest of the GLIAC, there are games going on here today and games that have gone final.

Right now, Michigan Tech soccer at the half is trailing Cedarville one to nothing.

Michigan Tech women's volleyball defeated Midwestern state three sets to none so both thankful that they got the victory and it didn't take them five sets to do so so congratulations there they come away with a Weekend of I think it was four games then that were split two and two Overall, so they'll head on the road to Davenport and Grand Valley Grand let me double-check my notes on that they will head to Davenport next Friday

And I think it's Grand Valley on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Michigan Tech Soccer will be back at home next Friday against Saginaw Valley and home against Grand Valley next Sunday.

Other GLIAC football finals, I'm going to have to refresh that page overall because they changed the format on that one.

So let's go ahead and

get that set for you.

Games that have gone final already this week.

It was Grand Valley State defeating West Texas A&M 56-14.

It was Northwood over Wayne State 52 to nothing Ferris State defeating Bentley 38 to 3 Truman State falls to Davenport by a final today of 28 to 14 and then still to come this evening It is Tiffin at Northern Michigan.

That is a six o'clock start time It is Texas A&M Kingsville at Saginaw Valley also a six o'clock kickoff there and 7 30 Eastern Roosevelt travels to Quincy for their non-conference game again our next action

is on Saturday at Emporia State.

Next home game for the Huskies is homecoming two weeks from today.

That'll be against Upper Iowa once again.

That is a two o'clock Eastern start time here at Curly Stadium.

And our coverage for that will start at one o'clock.

I think that pretty much wraps up our coverage here for today.

I'm trying to think if there's anything else that I needed to cover for you here this afternoon.

But thanks to Cal Larson doing all his hard work.

They're trying to get back on the bike for football this season.

Thanks to Greg and his crew Jake and everybody else back in the closet working for the video replay and everything going on.

Marty Richards is here to talk about all good things on the pine.

How's it going on the river Marty?

It's hard work

I'll be honest with you.

It is hard work.

So we got a little bit of work done this week, but we're still looking at that northern section from Rockbridge down to County Road D, State Highway 80 at Steamboat Rock.

That's open.

That's a nice, enjoyable paddle.

And this time of year, with colors starting to kind of give us that little bit of a hint that things are changing, it's really nice.

And the temperatures tend to be

very nice.

Water level is great in that section.

So just to be clear, the open section right now that's really enjoyable from Rock Bridge down to County Road D State Highway 80 at Steamboat Rock Landing.

So do not go further south than that.

Now I saw someone

I just happened to be coming back from a meeting and I was coming from Muscaday way and I drove over the highway 80 bridge coming into town and I saw a person one person in a kayak another person standing in the water pulling

two kayaks.

And that is about what that experience would be anywhere south of County Road D. It's work.

And we're working on it.

It's really, you know, we had some early storms there with wind, rained a lot, the banks were soft, then the wind, and there are three or four blockages, especially between Bowens Mill down to Millpond Park.

You do not want to go through there.

If you do, take a chainsaw with you and give us a little help.

Give us a little help there.

It's just not enjoyable.

It's not going to be fun.

So, but that northern section is and that's really enjoyable.

So, we just encourage people to use that section.

If you do have other questions or if you want to get updates or if you need a kayak, you know,

a flotation device, paddle outfitting, or ferry service, you can always call 13 Pines RC 608-608-0392 and they can help get you there and guide you as far as where to go where not to go as well.

Sounds good.

Should be some good kayaking, you know, on the pine coming up here for the fall.

Yeah, it actually that's and we're really focused on next week.

I have that crew fired up ready to go and we're going to do our best from bow and smell down to get some work done on that next week.

We we're getting past this weekend is just nuts with everything that's happening as everybody will hear here in a second.

So we really we're struggling.

with trying to get a crew together and get the time.

But next week, I can see where there should be a couple days.

We can get out there and maybe make some real hay, I guess, or lumber.

Yeah.

If you could be friends some beavers with good teeth.

You know, I've had a couple times where there were trees that were cut about halfway through by beavers.

Oh, yeah.

And apparently we have lazy beavers on the pine.

They never finish the jobs.

I'm kind of upset about that.

I have to get some people to come grind the stumps down

again.

Yeah, exactly.

What's going on this?

weekend.

So I'll tell you, there's there is no lack of something to do this weekend in the greater Richland area starting tonight.

I would say tonight if you really want to kick off and I'm all for kicking a weekend off a day early I am very much a fan of that discovered driftless tonight lone rock on highway 14 down a lone rock discovered driftless They have pie chart pizza there tonight starting at three o'clock Wandering brew will also be there and then lone goat rodeo takes the stage at five o'clock and I've heard him before really good Really good great music

Local vendors and really a cool driftless relaxed vibe to get your week started Weekend started Everybody I think knows by this point.

This is county fair weekend and there's a lot going on at the fair I know that Let's see so tonight there is

the midway kicks in Mr. Ed's magical midway kicks in they've already had some animal livestock judging and then tomorrow so tonight's free if you do go out to the fairgrounds there's no gate charge there tomorrow there is but then they also have the beef show swine show and then

Mr. Ed's Magical Midway opens at 5 o'clock on Friday.

But then in the grandstand at 6.30, Southwest Pullers on Friday night.

And then Saturday is always a big day.

at the Richland County Fair and my favorite the Demo Derby.

Seven o'clock in the grandstand but there's a whole bunch of other stuff going on.

The midway starts at noon.

There's a bunch of kids and agriculture activities in the morning as well as they got a life-sized balloon creation fellow there that does a nice job.

And I always encourage folks, businesses and individuals that you check out the meat animal sale.

That really goes a long ways in supporting the kids and their projects.

That's at five o'clock on Saturday.

And then don't forget Sunday, the Little Britches showmanship contest.

You never know what is going to happen or what's going to be said at the Little Britches showmanship contest.

And then the Midway kicks in again at noon on Saturday.

So, or Sunday wrap.

so so that's the county fair a lot going on there but then also this weekend up at Driftless Music Gardens the boogie down which is really a cool event a lot of great bands trampled by turtles will be there that's really not a regional band anymore they're a national a national artist that's really good I really encourage folks if you get a chance

they have day passes so you know you might hear hey it's awesome we go up we stay two nights it's a great time you don't have to do that locals you could sleep in your own bed just drive up they have day passes you could enjoy the shows and then be back in the comfort of your own home that night uh also friday night i don't want to forget central boarding house uh marge uh at the garden stage that's on seminary street they have moon house

performing at 6.30 Friday night.

Now Moon House performed at Driftless Music Gardens at the Boogie Down two years ago.

So it's a pretty big act really to be at the garden stage for free.

You can just go bring your own chair, bring your own beverage if you'd like, relax and watch that.

Also, I'd mention on Saturday, Call Park, the fish boil.

That's really become an event.

I said something to John Wanaki about it once.

I said, how's that going for you?

I think last year I asked him, how are things going?

He goes, that is an animal unto itself.

It's really become an event.

I know you don't want to wait until the end to get there because they may run out of fish.

It's been very popular.

Again, that's Saturday the 12th.

four o'clock to eight o'clock.

They also have live music.

No turning back is playing.

That sounds like a lot of my life.

There's no turning back.

And then also real quick shout out, Cross Currents Heritage Center still has some availability.

They have a workshop.

They're holding fall foraging workshop with Abby Layman who

is attached to Taliesin is coming to the Cross Currents Heritage Center on Saturday, September 12th to have their event.

And we'll have a workshop on foraging and especially in the fall, just different foods we find around us.

So those are kind of the highlights.

There's other things happening, Phil, but and it's it's busy.

This is a busy weekend and a lot of fun to be had and the weather looks fantastic.

Absolutely.

And if you're headed to the

east from here the branding iron has some good food

to branding the branding iron amps it up this week because this is a wood fired oven pizza Saturday they run that from four to eight o'clock

You know, they'll have different, we've talked a little bit about the different kinds of pizza you can get.

There's usually something for everybody.

If you're a more adventurous palate, there'll be something.

If you're like me and you're a traditionalist and I always argue, I eat pizza like God intended it.

We got red sauce and we got meat and cheese.

There you go.

And they'll have that too.

So, um, and, and then I should real quick give a highlight out.

They still have the big messy, it's the big.

Messy Marty.

Oh, Messy Marty.

Because it is a little messy.

The BLT that they offer this time of year, as Lisa said, those will hold out until the tomatoes are gone.

And they are really good.

Like I said, I've had one.

I wore one.

Don't go with white shirts.

You'll you'll wish you hadn't.

And just a little bit of a heads up on Sunday, September 27th.

Get this on your calendar.

They will have another original works open mic.

day.

And that's on Sunday, September 27th, starting at noon.

They they have a lunch special with a real Greco and sons, Italian sausage.

And then the music runs from one to four, the open mic at the branding iron, it isn't

You and I up there playing the comb, making noses, noises in our armpits.

These are folks that they can play.

They know what's going on.

They actually know the scale at least.

Yes.

No, they're very talented.

I've been up to several of the open mics at the branding iron and it is very enjoyable and just really cool to see all the talent that is in the area.

Sounds good Marty.

Have a good day and you don't know what direction to go this weekend.

I'm plotting it out so I can make sure I don't miss a meal and you know we'll have it covered.

Sounds good Marty Richards on today's Pine River Report.

Richland Center volleyball coach Jamie Johnson is a guest on the pre-match show.

How did the team play in the win over Dodgeville?

I was extremely thrilled with our game experience that night.

I thought that was probably the most complete.

match I've seen in a while.

I understand, you know, Dodgeville's lost some things and they're not might be where they're at and where they're going to be at.

They have a new coach over there who's going to do some great things.

But I thought we just from start to finish, we played with a great level of focus and intensity.

I thought we had tremendous serving.

You know, we've had more games with more aces, games with maybe less misses, but I thought it was just consistent what we've worked on this hard low flat.

Florida type serves we were relentless and we were able to take them out of system all night I think we had five aces and only three miss serves but Just we were just phenomenal on that and just dictated our service Eve was over a 2.0 Which if we do that we're going to win a lot of matches This year, so I thought it was just a locked in great effort

When you look at the weekend then, I knew

you had that, just kind of really an elite volleyball tournament here in Richland Center.

How did the team play on Saturday?

Yeah, we came out a little slow, lost the first one to Royal, bounced back and won the second, third set.

Unfortunately, we acquired an injury to L-Acquamments.

Some could argue maybe one of our best players, you know, coming back from last year, the team really had helped, you know, voted hers, co-MVP last year.

So she went out with an injury in the middle of that match.

The girls were able to rally and knock off a royal team who was ranked at the time in their division.

And then we struggled against Fenimore.

We actually led most the way and just kind of fell apart late.

And then, you know, we lost the second set.

And again, our service he was not.

We had a lot of great things.

They had good servers.

They ran a good offense.

Their hitters were really hitting high, you know, causing us.

They're going over our block and we just we weren't able to be as effective as we could.

And again, you know, I thought some things stepped up and then we still had two more matches.

We had Hillsborough, who is honorable mention in their division, able to win that in two.

He really complimented our liberals.

We're running a two-liberal system.

And he's like, I hate your liberals because they're too good.

And so that's a great compliment to our team.

I thought our blocking stepped up in the afternoon or causing some things there.

And then we played a good, what I feel is a really good Reedsboro team.

I don't know how they're going to do in their division, but ran a lot of different offensive looks, which really challenged us.

But again, we got some enough blocks early on.

that we did a really good job, and we were able to beat Reedsburg in two.

So we went three and one on the weekend, and that's great.

You know, put us at nine and two this year, and our loss came to Fall Creek, who last week was number two in our division.

I think they fell to number three this week in the state rankings, and then, you know, lost to Fenimore, who's in our sectional, so.

We'll see how that goes, but they're a good team.

They beat Luther and took Cuba right to the end.

So it was a good friend of our team.

And we got our work cut out for us this week with Platteville coming up.

But it was kind of nice.

We said we talked about it, too.

We're not going to talk about it a lot.

But it's nice to recognize or celebrate it in a moment.

But it's early in the season.

But we were able to make the rankings the last two weeks.

Last week we were ranked 6 and D3.

This week we're ranked 8th.

So all things consider what we've been through and things like that.

I think it's a great recognition, but there's just a lot of great teams in the area and that can go real quick if we're not grounded and rooted and we play a ranked team this week with Platteville.

So our schedule is paying off.

Five teams are ranked.

Our uncle mentioned that we've played so far.

So that's just getting us battle tested and

and ready for a tough Platteville

team.

IS Richland Center valuable coach, Jamie Johnson, what makes Platteville a tough team?

Well, they experienced great coaching.

You know, Denise just does a great job down there.

They got the temporary girls, you know, they just got a lot of experience back.

They got the die girl in the middle who's just a huge hitter and blocker really brings it.

One of the harder hitters will face this year.

They just fundamentally sound great servers.

They dig, they play good defense.

They're just a print of power.

The expectation, the tradition of Platteville is there.

They won it last year.

They didn't lose a lot to graduation, where they still have some of their key players back.

They just beat a good mineral point team last night.

I know Mineral Point had an injury to one of their players at that tournament we were at.

But yeah, you know, the Mineral Point is still a great program and they went to Mineral Point last night and are on Tuesday night and won, you know, three sets to one.

So it's going to be a tough challenge, especially without Ella.

But, you know, our girls got some experience, you know, that's what's great about summer ball.

People miss here and there and other people get opportunities.

And it's just an opportunity for this team to rally and put up a good fight.

So what do you think so far, the highlights, or maybe your team's strong points so far in the season?

I think their togetherness is just, this is a fun group to coach.

They have a lot of fun.

We'll see how loose and relaxed they are in a big conference game, but they try to stay loose.

That way they get along really well.

I think that's one of those strengths.

We got a lot of kids involved, almost playing the entire

Squad there and so that I think that kind of helps you know as well as they're battling for positions even though they're we've got kids battling for spots and so you know nothing's locked in yet They're they're just raising the bar on each other and that's what you want to see that's what competition you hope brings out is the best of everybody and no one is like You know pulling away, but more importantly no one is like

just dropping the ball and letting it happen.

They're all fighting and they're all improving, which is just going to make us better as a team.

Again, I think right now our, our serving is our strength.

We, you know, we don't hit the hardest in the league.

We don't, you know, you know, we've been shown signs that we can serve a C well.

And so serve and serve a C are the key to high school volleyball.

The other stuff is great.

But you got to do those two things first.

to be able to play better defense with a good, you know, if you put good, good serving, you put people on the, on the defensive and to make sure defense better and vice versa.

You serve a seed, you can be on the attack and get them, you know, playing behind the point and just stay out ahead.

But this group is really scrappy.

They run things down.

They're never out of a point.

You know, they've come back when you're down 1620 to a very, very good Cuba City team and won that one in the second set and won the third.

So I mean, they've proven to themselves that they're not out of it and that they can get after it.

So you look at us and we don't look like a volleyball team.

We don't look like a great volleyball team as we walk on the court, but this group doesn't care.

And that's what's awesome.

They just play well together.

And I think people will appreciate and love the style and the effort.

that this team will put forth.

They're definitely worth coming out and showing up in person and watching this group, I think, and they deserve it.

This is our only home match of the month.

So we would love it if people would get out this Thursday night and come out and support this group and maybe help them rally behind this and get a big win.

Yeah, I was going to say you're going to be road warriors and road tested and so good opportunity.

How good is it going to

be

to play at home on Thursday night?

Well, it's an important one that if you got an injury, we've talked about this years before.

You really almost need to go 5-0 at home and at the worst 4-1.

But being down, Ella, that home crowd really could help us maybe pull off this win and get behind the girls without it.

It's going to be important.

If we could win this one, that would just put us in some early great position knowing, again,

The first five out of six in the conference are on the road and we just we got to hang in the fight.

We got to hang in the race long enough to come down the stretch where we have the last four at home.

And so if we could be in good position, um, it could be a great thing, but, um, it'll be good to get one.

We at least had the home tournament.

So we've had that feel a little bit, but it's nothing quite like a home dual crowd when the community comes out, the student section is there.

All those things add, add to that mystique, you know, of the thing.

And it's just a big,

big match early in the, in the conference season here where, you know, we're not even into September, you know, the teams or anything.

We're just still early in September, but yet a match that will dramatically, I believe, impact the conference race.

Sounds good.

Good luck as you get ready for Platteville.

Thank you.

That is it for tonight's pre-match show.

And Ella Clements, the leading hitting percentage as well.

So sounds like

They're considering giving her a go tonight.

Kylie Burns leads the team with eight blocks.

Also Adeline Words averaging around four digs per set, which is pretty impressive and more impressively maybe.

Adeline Words with 11 aces so far on the season.

On the Platteville side, Quinn temporally averaging three kills per set.

And Rihanna Dai, the leading hitter, she is their middle and a very tall player to contend with.

for Richland Center, well aware of Platteville because many of these players played last year.

Rihanna Dye has 17 blocks on the year.

Avery Richard averaging around three and a half digs per set.

And Soraya Stone has an amazing 22 aces through the early competition where 14 matches.

Team's finishing their warm-ups here at Richland Center High School.

It's about set for action tonight between Platteville and Richland Center.

Good to have you along.

As Jamie mentioned, it is the first and only conference duel of the season in September.

Richland Center will have a nice October, that means they'll be ready to go with lots of home matches here.

And I mentioned this last year, last week.

There just aren't very many

because you play your conference teams, but so many of the matches are played on the weekends in these tournaments, so your only chance to play at home is a conference duel, and so you're kind of at the mercy of how that is scheduled from year to year.

So no home opportunities.

It would have been nice to have a non-conference team.

As mentioned, Platteville played Mineral Point on Tuesday night, which is a good non-conference match.

river valley plate darlington last week which is again a crossover with the s w a l so hopefully maybe uh... the next few years richard center can look at working out and what happens though i know is that you take away uh... a term of opportunity because i think they schedule you by number of dates that you play you play five times on a saturday if you only play once that takes away those five opportunities on saturday i think that part of the issue but uh... i think some people would probably

maybe go for less tournaments on the weekends, maybe have a weekend off once in a while too.

So, I don't know, there's a little give and take.

Final announcements being made for the folks that have gathered here tonight, and our action will be led by our national anthem, which comes up in just a little bit.

It's a broadcast live from the WRCO Sports Desk, sponsored by Ray's Do-It-Bets Center and Rockwell Automation.

Thank you.

The Richland Center Ithaca Cross Country team has been faring well in the early season meets.

I talked to coach Eric Minden today and asked him about the team's meet at Bosquebell this past Tuesday.

I thought we ran really well.

It's a tough course.

It's up on the ridge top on a farm.

So up and down the hills there.

So I thought we ran well.

The boys team got out fast.

I ran together.

The girls team really gave Fennimore a highly ranked Division 3 school team a good run for.

Just missed winning by two points, so a real close race there.

But really happy with the

performance overall.

It seems to me the girls team is kind of getting primed and ready for maybe to make a splash in the conference this year, aren't they?

I think the opportunity is there.

There's still some really strong schools.

Lancaster is great.

Fletcher is really good.

Dodge Point is strong as always.

You know, we've been saying this for a couple of years now.

We have talent on the girls team.

It was just a matter of getting healthy, putting it all together.

And I don't think we've quite hit hit that stride yet.

We've had some good individual performances, but I really want to see what this team is capable of.

If we can put it all together

at coach of the Richland Center, Ithaca cross country teams, Eric Minden, there'll be an action on Saturday at the River Valley invite.

Welcome back to Richland Center High School.

Platteville has just completed a three set sweep over Richland Center, which has been somewhat rare through the years.

So Hornets and Platteville have matched up in a lot of good wins.

But Platteville, the defending champions, looking like they're pretty primed and going to try to repeat that championship one a year ago.

And all of the matches, all of the sets in a match were closed tonight.

25-23, the final in the third.

Platteville getting the win led by three kills from Rihanna Dye and two kills from Avery Richard.

Mia Hoosier has an ace which proved crucial as well.

For the Hornets, Kylie Burns with a kill and a block, a kill for J.C.

Gander, Bayley Wirtz had a kill and Adeline Wirtz with an ace on the way for Richland Center who led this one late in the contest but couldn't get it done.

23-22 they were up and Platteville scored the last

three points of the set to win it.

The other big turnaround, what a difference just a few moments make in volleyball sometimes.

You go from being on top of the world to the other end of the spectrum.

And that was the case tonight as Richland Center built a nine point lead.

They did that twice once at 13 to four and the other time at 16 to seven.

And they just looked like they could do no wrong.

They were playing together, but Platteville

didn't get shook and came back all the way to tie it, outscoring Richmond Center 18-3 in that first set to win it, 25-19.

In the second set, Flatville taking the lead early on, which they would not relinquish, the Hornets did get close, kept it going, got within three points at 21-18, also at 22-19, got within two at 22-20 before losing it, 25-20.

Hornets and battled back each time tonight, but just couldn't not didn't have enough to get over the top Again playing with one injured player that was able to get cleared to play tonight and another player a shutter not playing tonight and not making excuses Platteville is a good team the Hornets though were just a little bit out of sync as they had to change their rotation somewhat tonight and Go with a different setting combination.

So that was part of the Hornet dilemma especially maybe in that second set but they're able to

Continue on and you know you got look at the positive to they gave some opportunities to other players That are worked into the rotation and it looks to me like Bristol Center has really good depth here tonight as they're able to Get it done with you know some younger players as well competing at you know a couple of points they had a Freshman and a sophomore Leading the way out there, so you got to take those things into consideration and

Use it as a positive as you look down the road.

Our next action in volleyball will feature these hornets.

They'll be on the road at River Valley on Tuesday night.

And what we anticipate will be a nice match.

Platteville with its next match will be at home against Dodgeville.

That is next week on Tuesday night as well.

Dodgeville with a match tonight.

And let's see, did we get a final on that one?

I know Lancaster and company were playing at River Valley.

We'll check that final scoreboard for the last time here tonight.

That was Lancaster at River Valley.

And River Valley wins three sets to none.

Highland wins three to two over Potosi.

Was he costuban?

Three-nothing against Kickapoo.

Gladville Lancaster, three-nothing over Richland Center in soccer.
