Cookage furniture, countdown to face-off.

Here's the voice of the Hockey Huskies, Dirk and Brock.

Well, thank you very much and welcome, Husky Hockey fan.

We are coming to you from the John McGinnis student ice arena, sitting in the Bob Olson Media Center on Hall of Fame weekend.

Welcome to a big week in a Michigan Tech hockey as the Huskies host the Nanooks of Alaska.

Michigan Tech coming in with a three-in-one record.

including an overtime win last Friday night at St.

Cloud State University, followed by a loss on Saturday night.

The Huskies will take on the Nanooks who are 1-3.

They had a big win over a highly ranked Boston College team last weekend, but then lost to Union and again, coming in with a 1-3 record under head coach, Eric Largan, who is already, cannot believe it, in his ninth season as the head coach of the Nanooks.

These two teams split last weekend.

The Huskies had had the edge in this series with a 27-8-1 all-time advantage over the Nanooks.

Diddy back to 1990.

Tech is 14-5.

5-1 against Alaska here at the John McGillus Student Ice Arena.

And ever since, Alaska has become an independent program.

These two teams have played quite a bit.

In fact, this is the fifth season in a row that Anderson and Huskies will match up in Division 1 hockey.

Last season, up in Fairbanks, the non-conference series saw the Huskies win 3-1 on Friday night, but did not have a good game on Saturday night.

I remember that game well.

5-1 was the final.

And I know the Huskies left Alaska with a bitter taste in their mouth after that game.

What a weekend it is.

not only Michigan Tech hockey at home against Alaska, but also the Michigan Tech football team, who is nationally ranked, taking on Northern Michigan University.

Husky's coming out that giant win at home against Grand Valley State University.

Now this weekend they'll take on their arched rival, Northern Michigan.

That'll be a noon start tomorrow for the Miners Cup.

Husky's trying to hang on to that coveted trophy.

Our broadcast will start at 11 from Curly Stadium at the VIP tailgate party.

So make sure you're tuned on in as you're making your way to Curly Stadium.

Looks like it's gonna be a decent day tomorrow.

Little cool, perfect football weather.

They're in the 50s, but it's going to be nice and sunny.

At least that's what the forecast is saying right now.

Inside here at the John McGatis Center Night Street, it is perfect.

We're really looking forward to it.

Hall of Fame weekend, as we mentioned, some big time hockey players getting inducted into the Michigan Tech Sports Hall of Fame.

Actually, as we speak, Colin Murphy, who played for the Husky back in 2001 to 2005.

Unbelievable career for Michigan Tech.

154 games, 152 points.

Program record two for the most assist by our

winger with 42 during the 0405 season and of course was a Hoby Baker finalist his senior year.

That was the year that he and Chris Conover both Hoby Baker finalists at the same time.

And of course Darcy Way.

We talked a lot about him this week.

Goal tender for the Huskies back from 78 to 82 and worked at Michigan Tech in a variety of roles.

He'll be inducted or is being inducted right now into the Sports Hall of Fame and Wayne Weller who played for the Huskies back in 64 through 67.

Of course a national champion

with the Huskies 1965 team and ranking 42nd in career points.

And yes, did have two goals in that 1965 national championship game.

So three big hockey inductees going into the Michigan Tech Sports Hall of Fame right now at the ceremony that's taking place down on campus.

Those three hockey players, former hockey players, along with the other inductees who are Andy Bonk for football, Lucy Sloik of basketball, Mike Horan of football,

of Nordic skiing and cross-country track and field and Scott Kieser of basketball and football lore along with Jason Marathon from basketball and Sarah Nash Hurley of volleyball all will be recognized on the ice tomorrow.

That tomorrow's game here at the John McGinnis Student Night Shredder which will start at 6.07.

We've got a ton coming your way.

Glad to have you with us here on the broadcast and we'd like to see you here.

I hope you're on your way but if not kick back and relax.

More of our quickest furniture countdown to Faceop coming up in just a little bit including head coach Bill McCount.

Michigan Tech hosting Alaska in non-conference play.

These are the last non-conference games for Michigan Tech until the Great Lakes Invitational coming up in late December.

Earlier this week on the Michigan Tech Huskies Hockey Radio Show, we had a chance to chat with new Husky, Connor Roulette, who on the first weekend of the season against Minnesota got his very first goal as a Husky.

And Connor has really stepped in as expected to be an impact player right away.

We asked him to think back a couple of weeks ago when he scored that very first goal as a Husky.

it was like in front of the big crowd at the MEC.

Yeah, I mean, it's definitely huge.

Obviously, scoring in front of the home crowd is sweet.

You know, the home crowd that weekend was pretty awesome to see.

And although they were all there for Friday night, I think they were a little more excited for the next two games after being canceled the first night there.

So they brought their energy.

Yeah, I mean, it was just a great play by Millsy and, you know, just to get that kind of off your off the, you know, get it early and not have to kind of worry about, you know, getting in your head about not scoring or whatever.

So it was nice to get that early.

And like I said, it was a great pass by Millsy just to have that deception to pass it across.

And

I was just able to beat the goalie.

You're known as a goal scorer.

We've watched a lot of your highlights from over the years before you became a Husky.

At one time play, though, is something that's not easy to do.

even if you have a perfect pass.

How often have you practiced that and how big is that in your game?

Yeah, I mean, I mean, one-timers for me aren't really my specialty.

I don't really score much from the one-timer, but it's just one of those things that, you know, before or after practice, a lot of guys do.

It's just one of those things you work on, just trying to get the puck off as quick as you can, not stopping the puck and stick handling or whatever, kind of gives the goalie more time to get there.

So being able to shoot the puck quick is something that a lot of hockey players, you know, especially myself, that practice

It's a lot just to catch goalies off guard.

I think the better the goalies get, the more harder it is to score when you try to make that one extra move.

So being able to shoot the puck off quick was huge.

And yeah, for any hockey player that can score goals, I think being able to do that is a big thing for them.

You're four games into your NCAA career.

Obviously, we played two really good teams already.

What is the difference that you've noticed?

The biggest difference from this level to you sports and the other levels that you've played prior

becoming a Husky?

Yeah, I mean, it's definitely really fast.

You know, a lot of the, you know, last year, for sure, playing new sports, there was maybe a little bit more time with the puck.

And then, yeah, you play, you play against a great team every weekend.

There's no, there's no weekends where, you know, there's a team that's, that's not as good as the next team, you know, it's every team's there and every game's huge.

And I think that's what a lot of teams have in, you know, a lot of pride, a lot of school pride and a lot of teams with their fans and whatnot and having home crowds, home crowd, home, home, home ice advantage is a huge thing.

And

You know just yeah, I think it's just every every night every games huge and every team

brings in gives it their all every night You never know what you're going to get as far as line combinations as you go through the season But you had a chance to play with Gordo in this past week and talk about him a little bit is that leadership guy Yeah, well, I

mean obviously Gordo being another Manitoba and I was able to skate with him the last few summers so Even prior to prior to playing with each other on a line.

We were able to skate with each other in the summers and get to know each other so

You know, he's just a great player and great leader.

I mean, you look at him off the ice, the amount of work he puts in into his career and his hockey skills.

It's really big.

It shows on the ice.

And he's one of those smart players that he could play with anyone and make anyone better.

And yeah, he's just a great guy.

And he's

a good player to play with.

I think going 3-1 through the first four before the season, we would have taken that.

But a little bit disappointing on this past weekend, because I feel like maybe we think we could have got more on us

What did you feel was the difference in our play maybe this past weekend compared to the Minnesota weekend?

Well, I mean, like I said, you play against teams every weekend that are, you know, we both have the same, you know, goals leading into that weekend.

I think being on the road, getting a splits huge for us.

Obviously, Minnesota was a team that had a lot of skilled draft picks and a lot of guys that could make plays and play.

And then St.

Cloud was definitely a team that just had the speed and had, you know, they seemed like maybe they

just, I don't know, maybe maybe used to their ice, their ice was a little big there and, you know, I thought we played a great weekend and their goalie's made some big saves and I think just, you know, a couple more balances that go our way, I think that we go with that weekend 2-0.

That was Conor Roulette chatting with us during the Michigan Tech Huskies Hockey Radio Show this past Tuesday.

Hey everybody, welcome back to our pregame here on mix 93.

Head coach Bill McColt is with us brought you by Remax Douglas Real Estate.

Well coach full week of practice here at home

getting set for this series against Alaska.

I know you mean your talks to us since the St.

Cloud series.

I would imagine you pushed some of the guys to maybe be a little bit better this week.

That's for sure the message

every day.

It's a process.

You know we're looking for consistency and improvement.

We've got some areas of our game I think we can we can do a little bit better but should be a great

week in a hockey here at the Mac.

I love our fans and then obviously we have you know three players going in the former players going in the Hall of Fame so that's a big deal.

It really is a big deal.

Going back to some of the guys that you're hoping will step up a little bit.

I would imagine even with all of the experience some of our new Huskies have coming in here you know they're still

trying to figure out maybe their identity on this team?

For sure.

You know, I think we'll get Morgan Brady in the lineup here tonight.

He's looked really good in practice.

Big right shot, defenseman, shot down, physical.

He's looked really good in practice.

I still think there's some guys up front kind of finding their way, figuring out our system a little bit.

Guys like Geo Morneau, Tristan Delisle, and it's going to take a little bit of time, but they're

they're doing really well.

We saw how fast St.

Cloud was.

Can you compare it all, the differences, compare or contrast the style of play with Coach Larkin's team compared to what we saw last weekend?

Well, I think the Fairbanks is going to be more physical in your face.

I thought St.

Cloud had a tremendous amount of team speed on that hybrid sheet with that extra width on the rank.

Maybe for, you know, give us a little bit of some different challenges that you wouldn't see on a normal standard size rink.

So as you look at any other

changes in the lineup other than Brady at this point, coach?

We'll see.

We have one guy that's a little banged up, but it'll be kind of a game time decision.

Obviously can't share that with you, but we'll kind of go from there.

But I want to continue to get guys in, and I think the competition is healthy for our group.

What about face offs this week, coach?

Is that something that the centermen and really the whole team kind of worked a little bit on?

Yeah, we did a lot

of it.

We did a lot of live drops in

practice got wraps we worked on it Excuse me before and after practice with the centers as a group But it's it's not just falling on the center.

You're a five-man unit out there So we had a you know a half dozen or so, you know that we identified where we actually won the draw But we lost the line of scrimmage mentality and let let them get in there and then we actually had some pucks that We won those face offs and got possession of them where they

probably weren't marked, you know, depending on whether it's sport logic or, you know, the...

the somebody else doing it.

Sometimes they just go with wherever the puck goes on what side of the line of scrimmage you're on.

And it's not really a true metric.

But having said that, we have to be better in the draw and it's something that we're focused on.

Looks good, Coach.

We're looking forward to it.

Thanks for your time.

And we'll

talk to you right after the game.

Look forward to it.

Thanks, Dirk.

J. Dirk Ember off along with former Husky Phil Piedola on the broadcast here at the Bob Wilson Media Center at the John McGinnis student ice arena.

The Huskies getting set to take on the Alaska Nanooks.

Three and one Michigan Tech taking on one and three Alaska.

The Nanooks have played a very difficult four games and they beat a very good team in Boston College last weekend.

They lost to Union the next day.

They've been down in the continental

United States for a while now fill in there that program is pretty used to these long trips and they'll be ready to go tonight against the Huskies Huskies need to come out with a better effort than they did last weekend at St.

Cloud.

Yeah for sure especially that Saturday night start you know that you mentioned they need to get better tonight this team is very good Alaska like you mentioned beat Boston College also lost in overtime to Boston University that

first series.

So yeah, it's a very good team and Michigan Tech is going to really have to come to play.

Huskies will have a couple of different, well, certainly a different player in the lineup here tonight than what was originally started.

We heard coach talk about somebody might not be ready to go and it looks like, well now they're, now I'm seeing some, yeah, Carson Bernie will be out tonight it looks like and we're waiting to find out if that's going to be then Carson

Morgan Brady factoring in as the seventh defenseman tonight.

If indeed it is as coach said during the pregame much much earlier today that was done back at nine o'clock this morning.

It will be his first game.

And of course played at Green Bay the U.S.H.L.

for the gamblers and you know pretty big kid and from what I understand and from what we watched kind of a stay at home defenseman kind of a shut them down kind of guy.

Yeah, for sure.

There's a lot of fun to watch in their inner squad game.

Big kid 6-3.

He's played some really heavy minutes at Green Bay.

It's a testament to the defense of Michigan Tech, though, that a kid of his size and of his impact has not been able to get in the lineup yet, because the top six have been playing so strong.

And you heard Coach

McCulloch talk about how he wants to get these guys a chance to play.

It's difficult to do when you've got so many

guys that are competing for the same positions that are doing well out there.

But Michigan Tech saw some holes in some gaps, I guess, last weekend that they want to shore up.

And everybody's going to have to play a little bit better if they're going to come out with a couple of wins against this very good Alaska team.

We'll take a break.

You are a tuner.

Our correctors for this should count down the face off.

We'll be back in one minute with our starting lineups and our let's meet the goalies.

It's coming up as we are eight minutes away from the drop of the clock.

Starting for the Nanooks tonight and Coach Largin up front it'll be Rylin Roarsfump.

Where's number 18?

He will center Jack Rogers and Jet Larson.

Back on the blue line Carson Reed and Jackson Anderson.

Those are your starting skaters.

for Coach Largin and the Alaska Nanooks.

For the Michigan Tech Huskies tonight, they will start with a Max Kastipurti line.

Centering, Noah Reinhart and Tayden Trembecki.

Boy, you just about have everything on that line, don't you, Phil?

Certainly do, Derek, with Tayden Trembecki.

He's got the hot hand.

He could score.

Reinhart plays so hard in the corners.

Just a grit player and, you know, Max's high skill, so you combine them all together.

That is a great...

First line for Michigan Tech.

Back on the blue line, Reed Andreessen, who got his first goal of the season last weekend on a pretty play.

And Luca Fasciato, two good defensemen there.

Again, if you're just joining us, Carson Bernie is out.

He was originally scheduled to be in, but was questionable.

And so he is being pulled out of the lineup tonight.

Morgan Brady will stay in as the extra defenseman.

Carson Latimer will go up on that line, I'm guessing, unless they switch up the lines on us with Tristan DeLyle, DeLille, and

Isaac Gordon, nice to see Isaac Gordon back in the lineup last weekend.

Yeah, such an important piece for this team, the captain of this team, to see him be healthy again and be able to shoot the puck like he did last weekend with that nice goal he had at St.

Over a shot!

Big save made there.

I think that was on that play back the other way Huskies gonna be called offside in the face-up coming up but the first giant scoring opportunity goes to Alaska.

Yeah that was Osho who just had a nice one time around Bartoskiewicz.

He got all of it.

Fortunately Owen was able to keep that one in front

of him.

And Osho on that line very dangerous.

Face up and centerize the original score.

But the Huskies do win it.

They keep it in.

Walking in.

Centering pass right there.

Trembacky had it.

Right at the top of the crease.

He can't believe it.

Nice job by Gallagher.

I think it was one defending on that play, Phil.

Yeah, real nifty play by Tyler Miller.

A clean draw when he went down the wall.

Got that puck right in front to Trembacky, who was right in the blue pane.

Just ran out of room to try to tuck that

in.

Gallagher's got it.

left all by himself and he had to pick and choose.

Do I go for Miller or do I stay there with friend Becky?

And he went halfway.

Face off inside of the Alaska zone, no score.

Husky's trying to get it back to the point.

Can't do it, but they'll hang on to it.

That strength of Lepa is great along the wall there.

Van Blericombe can't find it.

Second opportunity gets it.

Senatorine attempt there by Lepa did not get through cleanly, going in hard on the four checks for Michigan Tech.

Moore knows playing a left wing here tonight.

Back up top now for the Huskies.

Van Blericombe hands it off.

Michigan Tech

Cycling well.

Here's Morneau.

Drops it down to the right-way corner.

Takes it behind the net.

Still has it on the back end, off the boards.

Sent right back in there by Brenton.

And the Huskies have it go loose to the right-way corner.

A couple of big hits down there as you hear the crowd getting up.

Roode will pick it up.

Good job by him.

and will settle it down.

The Huskies will peel away and try to make a line change on the fly.

Layton and will fire it down, or that kind of down, I should say.

At least you can tackle, pick it up inside of their own zone.

Quickly up to Roulette.

Roulette crossed the line, hands it off to Cheechak.

Huskies are on side, trying to get some more bodies down there.

Turned over and a chance back the other way now for Alaska.

Great defensive play made there by Fasciano.

Might have just saved the goal.

That was a three on one

fill.

Yeah, he stuck that stick out right at the last second.

That long stick of Fasciano, enough reach there to tip that puck away.

No score, 15-32 left to go in the first career.

There are two shots for Michigan Tech, two for Alaska.

Both teams have had a good scoring opportunity back down inside of the zone for Michigan Tech behind the net for Cheechek.

Cheechek off the board, gets it there, fasts out, picks up a little speed, but then loses control.

And scooped up by Barrette.

Barrette makes a pass, and the Huskies hold it in for a second, but now taken out by the Mamooks.

Up to center, Iso to cross down.

This might be Icy.

They wave it off though.

Mamooks in on a four check now.

No score here in the period.

Lucio, not able to find that one for Alaska.

Michigan Tech will take it away and brought it back across the line.

They're going to find it there.

Roulette, Roulette gives it up and back the other way.

Here comes Danilov.

Danilov gets the red line.

Husky's able to stop it quickly there, trying to get it to Gordon at center ice and it comes across the red line and then to the blue line but no further and now it's dumped in by Michigan Tech.

No score.

We are just about six minutes into this first period.

Shipley, stopping it there at the line.

Did he go over?

It did.

Hopped over a stick, delayed offside against Michigan Tech.

Cheechick had no idea.

And we have a stop.

It's a play.

Yeah, that puck just barely came out over the blue line there.

Derrick forced Michigan Tech to take that offside.

Shipley was trying to hold it in the best he could.

See that play made there by the Huskies defense in Clashiyato.

Boy, that was three.

Players for Alaska in good speed coming down, but he's able to get that long hockey stick on it.

Gallatin now after Alaska wins the face-off.

Husky struggled mildly on face-off through much of the weekend last Friday and Saturday.

Not better as Saturday went along.

Picked up by Tostakirkey.

He'll flip it up to center ice.

This one gets the center ice, and the Husky will get it across the line.

It's swung over there.

Getting there first would be Reinhardt.

Reinhardt stumbles a little bit with it, takes it back behind the net.

Good defense made there by Clem, and Clem now will get it back out to center-ice.

Picked up by Alaska.

Ninkley will circle inside of his own zone.

Has good speed.

Rings it across the red line.

Lost it for a second, but gets a little bit of help on its dumped inside of the Alaska zone.

No score, 13-50 left in the period.

Here at the John McGinnis student, nice read.

Huskies break it up off the center-ice, and Grimbecki tried to dump it in.

I think a little bit harder than that, but Puck flipped on him a little bit, and it scooped up quickly.

By Barrette, Barrette will bring it across the red line.

Backhand to down and back inside the Michigan Tech Zone.

Again, we're scoreless here in the first period.

Two shots of P, full team with a good scoring opportunity.

Giveaway by the Huskies and brought across now by Alaska.

Shot taken and a blocker save made there by goal-titter Bartoskiewicz.

Back to the point.

Huskies got his way that way if they could hurry up and pick up the puck.

Lepa just couldn't get there in time.

Loose puck is there and it just got past Van Blericombe and now coming back the other way.

Rosemont crossed the line, and they're going to call that offside, and a face-up coming up in the neutral zone.

No score, 13-14 up from the first period, brought to you by the Winkley

incident.

Yeah, like you mentioned, Dirk, that was a pretty nice three-on-one developing right there.

Matthew Van Blerkamp just chipped that puck up to Leppa, just a little bit too far.

Alaska was able to pick that up on the defense.

So offside, the call face-up in the neutral zone.

Well, Laketon then will take that face off.

It wins it back cleanly for Alaska.

Dumped all the way inside the Michigan Tech zone.

Huskies in their cream jerseys here tonight.

Gold buckets.

Here's a turnover down inside Michigan Tech.

And it goes back to the blue line.

Held in.

Reed with a shot through the track.

Ooh, watch out.

Bartoskiewicz tried to paddle that away and it came right back up into his stomach area there.

And he wasn't sure where it was.

That was very fortunate.

Michigan Tech now reeling a little bit inside of their own zone.

Good forecheck here by Alaska.

Line doing a great job, Leighton in is in there, but finally, Michigan Tech will bring it back out the center ice, turned back over though quickly, and Leighton in will backhand it down inside the Michigan Tech end.

Berezynskis, Bartek going Leighton in, that's a good line too there for Coach Largen, back out the center ice across the Alaska line, dumped all the way into the right wing corner.

Husky's trying to finish up a line change here on the fly, Rude will go back with it, sends it over for Gallagher who's trying to find that loose puck, back for Rude.

Roode looking up ice just wants to get it clear and he will.

This should get down there for an icing call and a face-out coming back inside of the Alaska zone.

No score.

Yeah, like you mentioned, Dirk, that line of Leighton and Morizinskas and Bartekko, they have most of the points so far for Alaska in this young season so far.

So you've got to watch out for them.

We're seeing that.

Saved me by Bartoskiewicz.

And Owen was looking all over, except where the bunk was.

He thought for sure he was able to paddle that one away and just skipped a little bit on it.

Kosti Fertig will take the offensive zone face off for Michigan Tech going against Joseph Serpa.

On the left dot in front of Goltender Shea, Huskies win it back cleanly.

Now for Kosti Fertig to make that trim back, a trim back in a little bit of trouble.

We'll cycle it down low.

Picked up now by Miller and that really turned over.

Gave it away to the other number 13, Ushio across the line now.

Dan Alaba will send it right to the goal and a good scoop there by Goltender.

Bartoskevich, a dangerous play.

Nice job there by Alaska coming out of that zone after they lost the draw.

Yeah, like you mentioned, that was a dangerous play because you had Ushio go into the net.

He almost got a stick on this puck here.

Had he deflected it, that could have been really dangerous.

Bartow came way out, top of the crease there to make sure that cut off as much of the angle as he could.

11-53 left to go in the first period.

Durkhenberg off with you along with former Husky, Phil Piedola.

Michigan Tech and the Nanooks of Alaska battling it out this week in a non-conference play.

Fired back inside the Michigan Tech zone.

There is no score.

Askes will slap at it.

They get it back out to center.

I shot right back down inside the Michigan Tech zone.

Going back in after it now.

It is Parker.

Parker will reverse it.

Gretchen up to Gordon.

Isaac Gordon now across center ice.

Centers at that one hit a skate turned back over and Larson will get it out for the Nanooks Huskies take over inside of their own zone shape tracking it down there and Brenton falling down with Cheechek Try to make a play to get it outside of the zone loose puck and picked up once again by Michigan Tech 11-12 left in the first period branched by the weekly agency Cheechek crossed the line Michael will dump it down to the left wing corner going in hard there as Isaac Gordon got past him Huskies hold it in

Great Andreessen wasn't able to get it deep and that will be nudged right back out to center ice by the Nanooks.

10-55 left to go in the period.

Cleared back again.

Reid will push it up and a high stick is going to be called.

10-51 left to go in the first period.

Five shots for UAF, two for Michigan Tech.

There hasn't been much for Michigan Tech as far as opportunity.

Alaska's really shut it down in the last few minutes.

A couple shots right away during the first few shifts.

But the last few minutes, it's really been all Alaska.

We're talking about Eric Largin.

And I can't believe it.

I said this during the free game.

Can't believe it's his ninth season already.

Behind the bench as the head coach for Lee Nanooks.

Just a great guy.

And what a great hockey mind.

Come back inside of the Nanook end.

Going back in after Jackson Anderson.

No sending around.

Husky's trying to hold it and can't do it.

Shot down, no icing here, but she can tackle off the hurried back, given chase on that play.

There is Inkis, and this will be sent right back out by Michigan Tech.

Huskies trying to hurry up on a line change here as the last will take over inside their own zone.

Quickly to the Michigan Tech, blue line at the cross.

There is Inkis coming across again, drops a pass over Leighton.

Leighton in, turned it over, Huskies pick up the loose puck, and it's going away back up the center ice.

Van Blericom across the line, trying to make a move to the middle he did.

Private Kick had just missed it.

And that turned over, and the Huskies had to get back.

Lorenzins gets across the line.

Back for him, a shot, and that one just looked like it had.

Nice play by Alaska.

Finished that one off, but could not finish it in the goal.

Shea will start it behind, stop it behind his net.

Now Rood will send it back over, and Clem will start now.

No score, 947 left to go in the first period.

Wrapped all the way around, Michigan Tech.

Not anybody high there.

The winger.

Michigan Tech back the other way.

Back on Shane's going to cover up for the whistle.

And Alaskan will not be able to make that change.

And that means we won't be able to go to the media break.

Yeah, you had Carson Latimer on that last play.

Dirk, he was on the far blue line.

He has that explosive speed.

That puck just missed his stick.

Went all the way on net where Shane was able to cover up.

It's one of those new rules as we see Van Blericaan coming in.

He's just, boy, you think if he would have been able to kick that, he might have had a chance to deliver that pass.

So here's that two-on-one back the other way.

And what a great job.

Borozinskis, that was right in between his feet to get that kind of a shot off.

He's almost handcuffed a little bit by the pocket.

I think that's what caused it to rise over the net on him.

Scoreless, 9-34 left to go in the first period.

Six to three shots in favor of Alaska.

Huskies have an offensive zone draw.

And do not win it cleanly.

This one back out to center ice.

Nanook were not able to change on that last play, but they get it to the front of the goal.

Here's a chance right to the net.

Where did it go?

Back behind it.

And I'm down.

And the Huskies able to pick up the loose puck.

Bring it up now.

Plus, Latimer.

And Latimer lost it.

Perrette will send it, good movement here by the Nanooks across the line, catching the Huskies a little bit flat-footed.

Backing behind the net now.

Don C. Cuck has scooped up back to the weakside point and right off a read and back out the center, rising to break from Michigan Tech.

8.54, left in the first period, still no score.

Pace is picking up again a little bit right now as Reinhardt couldn't get it inside of the zone, it's shot back inside the Michigan Tech end.

Will this be IC?

No, they wave it off.

Hussling back as Miller.

Miller stumbled a little bit, but nice recovery, able to work it back out to center-ice.

Huskies, though, quickly turned it over, and we've seen a lot of this already.

Alaska back across the line, quick shot, Locker saved.

Reva goes way back out to center-ice, and scooped up now by Anderson.

Anderson for the Danukes, up to center.

Larson will tip it all the way down.

And Griesen getting there.

Did not get anything on that one.

Stolen for a moment.

Let's stick there by Shipley.

This one sent high into the air.

Huskies will get the clear.

Get the red line and dump it in.

Smart play made right there by the co-captain, Isaac Gordon.

Oski's trying to get some offensive time, but can't do it.

Again, cleared away by the Nandooks.

Back out the center ice inside the Michigan Tech zone, just at their blue line.

They work it over to Fasciano.

Fasciano across the line with good speed on the right wing.

Centers it.

That one popped off of a stick and back out the center ice.

Oski can take it again.

Turns over.

And a center in attempt.

Michigan Tech getting bodies back to help out, though.

And they'll move it to the corner.

7-43 left to go in the first period.

Stolen away again.

Michigan Tech turning it over inside of the zone.

Back to Gals and at the point.

He'll shoot through traffic.

And a save made there by Gottener-Barton-Sketl.

Made that with the right pad.

Huskies desperate for a line change.

Aura clear here.

And back inside of the Michigan Tech.

Great forecheck by this line.

Ganylau Serpa and Ushio.

And finally, Michigan Tech will get the clue.

Yeah, much needed clear for Michigan Tech.

They looked really tired during that last shift.

Huskies get some

fresh legs out there.

It's back inside the Michigan Tech zone.

We are scoreless with seven minutes left to go, in period number one.

Cross the line.

Comes Brady.

Brady will dump it in.

His first game is a Husky, going in hard on the four check.

Ties up his man, but a good job of the Alaskan.

And now it's in a two on one, lately coming across.

And offside is going to be called.

And we'll take a break.

No score.

6-54 remaining here in the first period.

Alaska has half the upper hand.

If you had to give it to one team, they have nine shots on goal.

A couple of odd man rushes.

Huskies with three shots on goal, but a chance across the line.

Moreno with a pass to the front right to Ben Lurikov!

He scores!

Now you, Ben Lurikov, on a great feed by Giavanni Moreno, and the Huskies take a 1-0 lead.

Yeah, great play there by Moreno.

He really set that play up.

He knew he had Matthew break into the net and got that puck to Ben Lurikov.

Just a quick forehand backhand, tucked that puck.

Right past the goal tender.

Well, you don't get many chances sometimes.

You've got to capitalize on the ones you get, and the Huskies certainly did on that play.

It's a simple move by Van Bleric on two.

Didn't try to do too much with it.

Yeah, just that quick hands, forehand to backhand, and he snapped that right away.

Shay had no chance on that

one.

Huskies up 1-0, 6-38 left to go.

Back up the center ice now brought up by

Alaska.

Huskies stealing away.

Lattimer coming across with speed down.

Lattimer driving to the net takes it behind the goal.

Reed watching him.

Here's a shot by the Huskies wrapped around and this is going to go all the way down.

No ice here.

Great opportunity.

Tyler Miller on the far post.

Unfortunately missing that.

That puck came all the way out of the zone.

Nanook's making a line change.

Berezinskis back out there with Leighton and then Bartekko.

They come shippling out for the Huskies.

Michigan Tech with a 1-0 lead on their fourth shot on goal.

Pretty play.

Back behind the net inside of the Alaska zone.

Pinching it will be shipply.

And back behind the net now is Trinbecky.

Trinbecky tried to sweep it back to the point.

Second opportunity he did.

Over now, shot by Shippley, waiting way too long on that one.

Blocked back

out the center ice.

And right off the boundary split, and that puck deflected, like you said, all the way down to the tech zone.

5.38 left to go in the first burry.

The Huskies getting this crowd.

Going with a big goal by Van Blericom, his fourth goal of the season between Icing Carl against Michigan Tech.

And Becky just about got a piece of that.

Yeah, Giovanni Mornau, we were talking about him, the independent player of the year.

He has that high level skill, and we've been waiting to see it.

We knew he had it, but that was a spectacular pass that he gave over to Van Blericom.

How much does Van Blericom's speed

help him in that situation?

Oh, totally.

He's one of those shifty players, too.

And if you notice, that little move of the hips is what opened that net.

So Shay wasn't ready for that shot.

5.29 left to go.

They're going to drop the puck again down in front of Bartoskevich.

They go hard off of the glass to hit.

Stanchion will stay in.

Second chance here for Michigan Tech to get it clear, and they will.

Good job by Trent Becky to see if this line tries to get off the ice as soon as they can or not.

Now the blue line.

He'll drive it in, try to drop it there, and it went past Roulette, and it's going to come back out to center ice.

Michigan Tech 1, UAF nothing.

UAF has had a ton of opportunities.

Haven't been able to bear with one quite yet.

Back out to center ice.

Leif in an off of his stick.

Travels down inside the Michigan Tech zone.

Leppa with it.

Four minutes and counting down, left to go in the first period.

Mourno trying to find that loose puck.

Layton in is down there, good job by Alaska to pick it up, get it back to the point, and Reed will work it up quickly.

Huskies don't get it back inside of their own zone.

Snooping it back out to centerize.

Van Glericombe trying to get off the ice.

And dumped in by Alaska.

That's a break from Michigan Techfield because I think the Huskies had some tired bodies out there.

Yeah, they're at the end of the shift and that icing came at the right time for Michigan Tech.

333 left to go on the first period.

Pretty special player from this contact.

What a sacrifice he made on Fasciano's big wind-up.

And we'll get the Carl on the ice here.

It's going against Alaska.

Alaska number 26, minor penalty for Cross-Checking.

So first penalty of the weekend goes against the Dadax.

Andreessen able to hold it down.

Trent Becky needs a little bit of help.

He's knocked down on the play, cleared back up to center ice.

Not enough puck support on that one, Phil.

No, certainly not.

Just misplaying the puck, and guys are backing him up to keep that puck in the zone.

Across the line, Huskies will be offside.

Kostakirti just could not hang on.

A minute 53 left to go in the first period.

A minute 12 left to go in the power play.

Yeah, it's looked pretty sloppy so far on Michigan Tech's.

Their play has not been really crisp here this period.

And fortunately, they're still up one to nothing.

But I'll tell you what, they certainly don't really deserve it right now.

Pay shop in the neutral zone.

Van Blericaan to take the draw for Michigan Tech.

Power play for the Huskies.

Works back now for Shipley.

Where's number four?

Ripley with a couple of nice stick-handling moves, but lost it, got it back, and now people get it to Van Blerica.

Puck is going a little bit on the ice late in the period here, and the Huskies want to get back.

Good job there by the Nanooks.

And all the penalties go to get that back down inside the Michigan Tech zone.

Dillon's the door.

A little cause and havoc out there right now.

Back across the Nanook line, the Huskies will shoot it in.

Going in to Johnson.

Back there, the Huskies didn't have a...

Point man there, that was Morneau, who moved to the middle.

He'll pick it up quickly now and swing it across through the Huskies.

Down to 44 seconds left to go in the period.

And 30 seconds left to go in the power play.

1-0 lead from Michigan Tech to try to bounce one in here before the end of the first period to take a 2-0 lead.

14 seconds left to go in the power play.

Over for Parker.

Parker hauls it in.

Isaac Gordon with six seconds left to go on the power play.

Walk in, here's Parker.

Parker, back up top, actually got blocked right to the front.

Here's a shot, shively.

Saved me there, the penalty's over, nine seconds left to go in the first period.

Husky still have it, picked up by Gordon.

His shot, that one blocked.

Saved, and Shay's gonna hold on for

the

whistle, or almost did.

And...

Huskies over one of the power play.

Yeah, they settled it down a little bit there at the end of the power play.

Not a lot of great looks, remission attack, gift credit to Alaska Fairbanks.

Just a heck of a penalty kill there.

So the Huskies get the only goal of the period.

It was a pretty one, but Alaska played really well.

Much of the time.

Bartoskevac had to come up with a couple of big saves.

Huskies will need to, as we've been saying a lot, clean a couple of things up, Bill, going into the second period.

Yeah, they certainly do.

The Pucks bounce in.

The guys aren't supporting.

They're missing some pretty simple plays.

So hopefully, they'll clean it up here in a second.

All right, we're going to go down.

And it is Matthew Van Blericom just getting off the ice, nice and tired.

And Matthew, congratulations on another goal.

Can you take us through that pretty play?

Oh,

yeah.

I mean, I saw Gitch at the Pucks.

I thought I'd go to the net.

I kind of want to know the strum off the draw.

Got it chipped in, just found me driving.

Great pass by Gio.

And just caught it in the forehand.

I thought I'd be cheating, so went back, backhand.

Matthew, four goals in your fifth game this year.

We're noticing a lot of scoring coming your way.

What has been the difference so far this year to generate those scoring chances?

Just like the growth I've had as a...

Hold my body, my body's getting stronger.

Getting smarter during the second year, obviously, learning how to play college.

And just getting more used to the phase.

So it's just kind of coming out quickly.

Matthew,

congratulations on the goal.

Good luck in the second.

Thank you.

All right, Matthew van der Rekamp for the Huskies.

The goal scorer.

Ryla Kitchen bringing you our first intermission.

Well, a fun period to watch.

But Alaska, I would have to say, may be played better than Michigan Tech.

Michigan Tech has the one-nothing lead.

Yeah, certainly lucky to come out of that first period with the lead.

And Alaska has really took it to them for most of the period, out shooting them 11 to 6.

So they have twice as many shots as Michigan Tech.

They've also blocked a lot of shots.

On Michigan Tech side, you got to shoot the puck.

I think just being a little bit too pretty, trying to make the play, and right now the puck's just not settling down for them.

So more traffic, more shots.

Try to generate some more chances here in the second period.

11-6, like you mentioned in that first period.

We'll hear Matthew Van Blericombe's goal coming up a little bit later on in the intermission.

And we'll also give you a chance to win coming up real soon with our hot and ready.

He could score pretty much at will.

What a spectacular player

career with Michigan Tech.

He scored some big goals for Michigan Tech over the years.

But two of the biggest ones were against these Alaskan Danukes in 2023, down at the Great Lakes Ivitational in the first semifinal game.

Both goals came in the third period to tie the game 2-2 after being down 2-0, which set up an overtime win for Michigan Tech.

Who was that Husky that scored those goals in his last July?

We're moving on to another team for his fifth and final year as an NCAA player and then went to play pro.

Think it over.

Who's that Husky?

Give us a call 906-483-4054.

Again, name the former Husky that played four years for Michigan Tech, but did not finish his collegiate career with the Huskies, was born in Arm Friar, Ontario, Canada, and scored a lot of big goals for Michigan Tech.

goals in a short span.

Go back to our first intermission here on Huskies Hockey on MIX 93 WKFJ.

In our contest, Little Caesars, hot and ready, who's that Husky?

They missed the clues.

Here they were, named the former Husky that played four years for Michigan Tech, but did not play his final season as a Husky.

In other words, he played five seasons.

It was the COVID era, who was born in Armpire, Ontario, Canada, and scored a lot of big goals for Michigan Tech.

But two of the biggest, back in 2023, the Huskies were playing a semifinal game against the Alaska Nanooks, Great Lakes, and Batista.

Ovaski's were down 2-0 in the third period.

He scored both goals to tie it up and send it into overtime.

Your answer?

Ryland Mosley.

So there you go, Ryland Mosley.

Congratulations to Andrew Tabelkowski, our winner tonight from Calumet, who picks up that free pizza from Little Caesars on a hot and ready

Who's that Husky?

Yes, Ryland Mosley.

What a great second period he had.

That second goal, as you can hear in my call, I was a little bit excited on that one.

It was just incredible.

You didn't even hear his name in the first goal because I didn't know who that's put that rebound in after Swankler drove to the net and took and.

Was able to draw that penalty, but what a shot by Ryland Moseley and just an incredible turn of events after being down to nothing in that third period

Yeah, it certainly was Eric.

It's fun to listen to those because you get those memories coming back where you're watching the game You almost remember exactly where you were during those big moments.

So Ryland Moseley though What a special player he was for this program

as well.

He really was and then of course went on to play at Wisconsin

for a year and is overseas now.

I believe playing pro hockey.

But I believe we had a couple of age games mixed in there.

So congratulations to our winner.

Andrew Tabalcozki of Cali event way to go.

You can pick up your coupon for that free pizza.

Little Caesar's little Caesar's hot and ready.

Who's that Husky will do it again tomorrow night in the broadcast.

All right.

Steve back in our studios.

If you're ready we're just going to go right to the goal now our wrap up

is brought to by Ryla Kitchens of Houghton, Michigan Tech with the only goal of the first period.

And it was a beauty.

Matthew Bamblericom has scored four goals already in this young season.

Moreno with a great assist along with Leppa chiming in there.

Here it was at the 13-17 mark to break the scoreless tie.

No score.

Alaska has half the upper hand.

You had to give it to one team.

They have nine shots on goal.

A couple of odd man rushes.

Huskies with three shots on goal, but a chance to cross the line.

Moreno with a pass to the front right to Bamblericom.

Pickle 1-0 lead.

Shots in the first period, 11-6 in favor of Alaska.

And Shay was good, but Vardiskevic, 11 stops and 11 saves.

Huskies 0-1 on the power play.

Probably could improve a little bit on the man advantage.

Yeah, they certainly could.

They looked a little out of sorts.

They're not knowing where their support was, making plays where there was no support.

And some easy clears for Alaska.

But on the flip side, I thought they did really well on the PK.

That's our first period wrap taking a look at face-offs in the first period Huskies win the face-off battle 11 to 6 Oscar Perti leading the way 6 and 2 so 75% on draws So nice job by Michigan Tech who worked on that quite a bit this week That is our period wrap again brought to you by Ryla kitchens of Houghton We'll be back with the second period in just a moment

And brought back up by Cosco Puget to you.

Cross for Trebecky.

Trebecky across the line, makes a move.

Trebecky trying to hang on, drops it back, shot there, bounced around a couple of times.

Ended up going wide to the net.

That was Andreessen from the point.

Fasciano, quick shot.

That one deflected him right to the front again.

Trebecky's second third opportunity and picked up by Cosco Puget to you.

Huskies moving the puck around well early on in the second period.

Tried to go up by two.

Fasciano over.

Here's that shot.

That one wide to the net.

Can Fasciano get there in time?

He does.

Holds it in.

Husky hit the gold buckets on here tonight, Trembekki with it, he'll send it through and a good job by Shay to shut that play right down because his team in front of him was struggling.

Good job there by the gold tender.

Yeah, real smart play by Shay to just hold on to that puck, get a change for the Nanooks.

They were at the end of the shift, really tired.

Michigan Tech came out shooting the puck, so we'll see if this continues.

First minute of play here in period number two, one nothing lead.

For Michigan Tech, Michael Cicek will take the offensive zone face-off for the Huskies.

Controlled by the Anics, they go high off the glass, will clear it down.

This will be an icing call.

And great first shift, as you mentioned, for Michigan Tech.

He's trying to keep the foot on the gas.

He's not back down in front of Shea.

Shay standing at six foot.

It's funny now in this day and age, a six foot bulltenger looks very small to

me.

Yeah, sir, man.

He moves so well.

He plays bigger than he is.

But yeah, he has only listed at six foot.

Parker now for Michigan Tech able to hold it in.

Back for Van Bleric on his shot.

Blue traffic.

And it looks like the forearm or the bicep with the bulltenger.

Shay stopped that one.

Back down in the corner inside the mission or the Alaska zone.

to check up by a 1-0 score early on in the second period.

Layton's line is out there trying to work it out.

Good fortune from Michigan Tech.

Left of line, wrapped around.

Parker's going to get there first.

Hands it off to Van Blerica.

Back over for Parker.

Little miscommunication there by those two guys and slip back out to center ice.

And the Navig's are trying to get a couple of guys off the ice here while the Huskies retreat back inside of their own zone.

Now picked up by Cheechek.

Good tip pass across to Van Blericaan.

Matthew Van Blericaan makes a move.

Shoots it.

He's just all over the place right now, playing with a bunch of confidence.

Van Blericaan again back to the point.

Shipley has nobody to hand it off.

Goods play there by Shipley to just sweep it back down towards the goal.

He'll pick up the loose pop down.

Eats it down in the corner for a second, kicks it to his forehand.

All over him on the play with Serpa.

Good job there by Alaska.

Move it to the side wall.

And finally brought back up to centerize by Ushio.

Ushio takes it across the line, almost offside.

Drops it down to the corner, centers it in front of the Michigan Tech goal, and picked up by Gordon.

Gordon moves it ahead.

Now, here comes Roulette.

Roulette across the red line, down to the right wing corner inside of the Alaska zone.

One-nothing lead for Michigan Tech.

You're early on in the second period.

Trapped around now, Shipley will hold it into the Huskies.

Shipley gonna walk it, and then hands it off to Roulette.

Good cycling here by Michigan Tech.

Roulette.

and his pass by, tipped away by Sherpa, goes back to the point.

Hartley will hold it in, going down with a play with a shave.

Didn't have to make the save, went high and wide.

Dylan's side of the Alaska zone, good play by Isaac Gordon here.

Gordon now, scored his first goal of the season last weekend.

Clears it back out to center ice.

A great start here by Michigan Tech, a lot of pressure so far on the Nanook defense.

Up to center ice now for Elias Johnson.

Johnson to the middle, here's a pass to the front.

And a tremendous stop on Carson Latimer on a great feed by the Huskies.

It's a great play overall.

1-0 Michigan

Tech.

Hey, Senator, that was a tremendous save there by Shea.

That puck was flipped over and sauced over the Latimer, which is one time that Shea went into the splits to make that save.

Good

puck movement by the Huskies.

Johnson nudges it down.

Parker with the feed, and much more than...

Not much more, Latimer could have done on that play.

Just a tremendous save by Shea to keep it 1-0, Michigan Tech.

Huskies have even up the shot just like that, 11-11.

Laska still looking for their first of the second period.

Michigan Tech with the 1-0 lead.

Going down now is Bredson.

Bredson will go off the board, clears it back out to center-ice.

Huskies can't bring it inside of the zone.

Vladimir will pick it up again.

Hands it off to Brenton.

Brenton looking up ice.

That's it to the red line.

Parker will shoot it in.

Huskies to the front.

Here's Yarrickson with a shot and a backpander was stopped there by Shea.

Michigan Tech has found themselves behind the defense a couple of times here.

This one's going to wrap all the way around back inside the Michigan Tech zone.

Brady with it.

First game as a Husky, back across the line.

That was still out there.

Huskies pick it up.

Now, Tosca purchased it and lose.

went one way, the puck went the other way, and nobody from Michigan Tech was very good, clear by Alaska.

Yeah, this period has been Michigan Tech so far, a lot of quality opportunities, give credit to Shoe for keeping this a one goal game.

Now all the Huskies are going to be whistled on the ice scene here.

Brady wasn't able to hit him, teammate, 16-03 left to go in the second period.

We see some of the action Michigan Tech really applying the pressure down inside of the zone.

They hope this doesn't come back to Brigham.

You know, they've had three great A chances so far this period.

None of them have went in.

Grosma's line is going to try to capitalize on this now against the Huskies.

Grosma wins the drawback, but Trembekki will steal it.

He'll get the red line.

It sees a little daylight, so he's going to bring it down.

Trembekki backpedals now, hands it off.

Grady coming in, centers it.

Loosebuck is there, picked up by Koska, thirdly in, shot rebound.

And she made the initial stop.

And the Huskies will hold it in.

Here's another chance.

Trenbecki trying to go through too many blue jerseys.

It's turned over, and finally shot back out the center ice.

Back across the line now.

Worsma, nice speed.

There's a shot, and that one almost went in.

Oh, was that a great play there by the Nanooks.

And a penalty coming up.

Naska Burti going in hard, and it looks like we're going to get a penalty for Alaska.

Again, with 15.30 left to go in the period.

1-0 Michigan Tech.

Yeah, you mentioned it, that was Jack Rogers.

He skated to his right shot to the left.

That puck nearly missed that left post.

Shipply not constipated, sorry.

Ooh,

that was a game.

Ooh!

Come on, Charlie.

I'm 18.

Cross-checking.

There's an awkward movement into the boards there, and looks like Shipply's going to be okay, and that's good news.

Face off for the Huskies in the offensive zone, up 1-0.

Their second power play of the game brought to by Iber Jones Financial Advisor Brent Peterson.

They are 0-1.

15 shots for Michigan Tech, 11 for UAF.

Good draw win by the Nanooks.

They'll fire it around and get it all the way down.

Huge draw.

So big we win those draws on the Pukae.

Huskies.

They'll switch spots.

Morneau with it.

Down low for Yonston.

Pause it in.

Johnson taking his time.

Husky's looking for a good shot back up top.

Shipley shot!

Blocked in front and a save made by Shea.

Holds on with no rebound, and that might hit somebody on the way in.

Yeah, yeah.

Johnson right in front of Shea, and that shot came in from the point.

Now, Shipley, who got all of it, somehow is able to see it through that great screen by Johnson.

Oh, just missed.

I thought on the way in, it might have hit back, but it did not.

Face off down in front of Shea.

1-0 Michigan Tech.

They want a power play for another minute.

11.

They win the draw, the Huskies do.

Andreessen slides it back over now for Trembachy.

Trembachy back for Andreessen up top.

down.

Some great puck movement here by Michigan Tech on this power play.

Just not able to capitalize.

Roulette will pick it up now.

Doubt inside of his own zone.

Huskies still with 20 seconds left to go in the power play.

And this will be their last rush off the ice on that opportunity.

Fire it in.

This one kicked right back out in front, but nobody there for the Huskies, scooped up by Ricky.

Held in by the Huskies at the line, then turned over, and that will be the end of the power play.

Huskies are on side, though, right to the front of the goal, trying out for Les Trenbecki.

Penalty is over, Worsma's out of the box, and another big kill by Alaska, keeping the score 1-0 Michigan Tech.

Johnson across the line from Michigan Tech taken away there by Roode.

Max Roode sends it behind the net.

Yonson trying to find somebody open.

Sausage it on the backhand, back up top.

Here's the shot taken and a glove saved by Shea, who holds on for the whistle.

Yeah, that was Brady with his, I think his first shot on that is a Michigan-Tacosky and Shea just an easy glove so far.

Good crowd here tonight at the John McGillis student and I should know if you're not here tonight We want to see you tomorrow night tickets are available for tomorrow night's game.

Remember that is a one hour earlier start 6 0 7 here At the John McGillis student iceman a Hall of Fame weekend the Hall of Fame inductees will be honored or recognized during the first intermission tomorrow night Michigan Tech with a 1-0 lead.

Wraps it around.

And it's going to be Andreessen to hold it in on the left point.

Andresen slides it to the middle.

Andresen hands it off to Jonson.

Great dominating shift here by this line from Michigan Tech.

Take the sting out of this one.

And Michigan Tech now short-handed.

Nanu's trying to tie it up.

They play it inside the Michigan Tech Zone.

Our tackle to the middle.

Here's a pass over a shot.

Nice save by Bartoskevic.

That took a little bit longer to develop than Alaska wanted it to.

Gave Bartow a chance to get over there.

Still controlled by Alaska inside the Michigan Tech Zone.

Right to the front of the net.

Husky should be able to clear this away, but they don't.

It goes back behind the net.

Boy, a big mistake made there by Michigan Tech.

They had a chance in the clear and did not do it in the.

Nanooks now will hold it in.

Serpa sends it over.

Back up top for Ricky.

Ricky peels away.

Big kid.

They'll sauce it over for Serpa.

Serpa will shoot through traffic.

That one partially blocked by a Husky stick down in the corner.

Michigan Tech getting it to the line, but not out.

Held in.

Controlled by Alaska on the power play.

Serpa!

Looks to shoot, hung on to it as he lost it for a second.

Ricky back up top.

His shot went off his own player, Worsma, I believe, right in front of that, went high over the crossbar.

And the

Huskies were going to kick back out to center right.

Yeah, force and a break with that puck coming out.

It's a long chance, tough to get the next penalty killers on the ice.

Worsma will go to the bench for the Nanooks.

And Barna Scavige is going to play this out himself.

Doesn't get it all the way down.

Here come the Nanooks back inside of the zone.

Barnaskevic waste-burdened the trapezoid.

Fires it around on the wraparound.

Play has kept it alive.

Go by the Nadikson side of the Michigan Tech zone.

The Huskies trying to kill off a five-minute major up one to nothing.

Over for Danny Love.

Danny Love didn't get back down low, right to the front.

They rebound.

And finally, Bartoskevich is going to hold on for the

whistle.

Couple great saves there.

Derrick by Bartoskevich.

Few quality opportunities, especially by Jet Larson.

He took that puck and just wrapped it right in front.

There was no one there except Bartoskiewicz, and fortunately, he kicked that

one out.

And he shoved down in front of Bartoskiewicz.

There's still 259 remaining.

You can see the replay.

Couple of great chances by the Nanukes on that wrap.

That's where I was working.

He opened up.

Nice save by Bartoskiewicz.

He knew what he was doing.

Great idea there by the Nanukes on that wrap.

Inside out move.

Layton in will go to the wing now on the face.

So Daniela will step in.

Parker wraps it around.

This is going to get all the way down.

Good draw in there by Michigan

Tech.

Certainly was a great wrap there by Parker.

Just knowing he had to get enough mustard on that puck to get it all the way down.

Huskies up one to nothing.

247 left to go in the period.

Sorry, 247 left to go in the penalty.

718 left to go in the period.

Two minutes still left to go in the power of play for the Nadigs on the major penalty of the shift.

Well, he's gone for the game.

Huskies without one of their defensemen.

Back across the line.

What a move here.

Bringing it down there again.

Couldn't make it towards the gold, though, and it comes back out to center ice.

And now the Nanooks, still with a minute 55 left in the power play.

Penalty kill brought to by Core Wellness, and a good play

there again by the Huskies' cheat check.

So far, so good, Dirk.

Another two minutes left here on this penalty kill for Michigan

Tech.

One-nothing, Huskies trying to hold onto that lead right now across the line.

Here come the Nanooks on the rush.

Ricky's gonna pick it up down in the corner.

Eats it down in the corner.

A couple of big guys going at it right there with Ricky and Fasciano.

It's swept around now.

Barzinskis now makes a little loop to his forehand, poked away for him, and the Huskies will be able to shoot this one all the way down.

Quickly changing up three, and now four penalty killers for Michigan Tech.

All fresh legs now for the Huskies with a minute 14 remaining in the penalty.

Michigan Tech now.

That penalty is across from Serpa.

Serpa will sauce it down in the right wing corner.

Last

but not able to find the puck and cleared down again by Michigan Tech.

There goes Lucas Brenton, just pinning his guy to the wall, freeing that puck up for an easy clear.

Back across the line.

Nanooks bring it, get it back to the point.

Danny Love loses it.

Husky will clear it down again.

Michigan Tech's doing a great job along the wall.

And I'm sure our Tyler Miller with a little hand-eye coordination knocked that puck down.

Another easy

clear.

Nanooks still have time.

35 seconds left in their power play.

Huskies portion the issue portion and we'll go back Anderson will go back with it now for Alaska goes D2D on the play down a level taken across Mountain Park Husky's trying to wait for her to settle down and just could not do so Parker at a tough spot right there and try to get it back to the point Husky's taken away Nashiano able to work it down and Michigan Tech will get down to 10 seconds left in the penalty One last rush here for the Nanooks Michigan Tech up by a 1-0 score trying to kill off a five-minute major cross the line up

Outside is called the two seconds remaining.

And the Huskies with an outstanding penalty kill

thus far.

Yeah, it's a big point of the game to Eric, but they're up.

Michigan Tech was up 14 to nothing and shot up to this power play for the Nanooks.

So big kill to take away any chance of tying it up.

Base off in the neutral zone.

The Huskies go back inside of their own zone.

The penalty is over.

And Michigan Tech will get a clear up to center-ice.

Trebecky will take a hit.

Did not get quite good at there for Reinhardt.

Turned over and brought back now by the Nanooks.

Crossed the Michigan Tech line.

Five-minute major for contact to the head.

But he is out, but the Huskies did kill off the penalty.

Now picked up by the Nanooks off the new boards.

They're in a shot taken there, deflected high over the crossbar.

And a battle for the puck inside of the Michigan Tech zone, right to the front of the goal.

A loose puck is there.

Saved in, just holding on as Bartoskevich.

What a drive to the net made there by Binkley.

And Vardiskevich equal to the task holds on.

Yeah, like you mentioned, great drive to the net by Binkley.

He had a quality chance there.

He got some hold behind the tech defense and just couldn't quite finish it.

Base off in front of Vardiskevich, 1-0 Michigan Tech, 21-16.

The Huskies with the shot advantage.

15-5 of this period alone.

There's a shot right up the face, a rebound, another save by Bernice Kevich.

Huskies lost that one cleanly in what a play by Alaska, but great stops there by Bernice Kevich.

She made a couple of nice saves, or at least one big one there.

Centering by the Huskies.

Code captain comes up to center.

That was Isaac Gordon.

Yeah, like you mentioned, she with another spectacular save here for the Alaska Nanooks.

Here comes Roulette, holds on, shoots, and he missed the line.

Looking for his second goal as a Husky.

Here's another shot, this one wide by Brenton, and the Huskies with a shooting gallery.

You could tell Michigan Tech was just sensing blood there.

Derrick, a lot of quality chances that just didn't go in.

Connor Relent will put in that rebound.

Relentless, the Huskies on that way.

Michigan Tech finally gets that second goal.

And there's 24th shot on goal.

Here's the replay.

Lepa from behind the net, muscled it a couple of times.

What a job by Lepa.

Big shot there by Brenton, but it went high over the net.

And rebound right there for Roulette.

Oh, he stopped that one.

That was even more impressive.

That's a big goal for the Huskies.

Place off at center ice, left his line, will stay out there.

Point against Serpa's line.

Draw one by Michigan Tech.

Parker will dump it in at the red line.

Shade comes out of the net, leads it there for the defense.

Huskies in on the fourth check.

Brenton waited too long, and the puck took back out to center-ice.

Parker's gonna take it.

Van Blericom across the line.

Van Blericom saw one of the nine players go down, and Van Blericom goes down as well, but is brought back out now off to center-ice.

Two-nothing, Michigan Tech with the lead.

Good back check there by Van Blericom.

Huskies will take it back inside of their own zone.

Huskies, sending it around.

Casca Pirce, he had trouble with that one.

Cast to the front.

You can see that bolt-tender Bartoskevic wasn't sure where it was.

Now it's tipped back up to center-ice or flipped up to center-ice.

Racing is Latimer.

He's got great speed.

Latimer trying to get a shoulder.

And a good job there by the defense to make that play for Alaska.

Held in though by Trenbeke.

That was backhand.

And he goes down in the corner by the Zamboni doors.

Do nothing late for Michigan Tech.

A minute 36 remaining here in the period.

Loose puck picked up now by the Alaska Nanooks.

They'll flip it up to center ice, and the Huskies will take over there with Miller.

Back to the line.

Michigan Tech on the side.

Got a watch out.

You can line change on the fly.

G-check now.

Hopps on the ice.

Comes back on the plate.

Offside is called.

Just relentless pressure right now by Michigan Tech.

We're seeing a lot of Morgan Paredi his first game as a Husky.

He's getting a lot of extra ice right now because of the...

absence of Luke Chippley.

Base off will be in the neutral zone.

We see that replay again of Roulette's second goal as a

Husky.

Like you mentioned, that puck was about four inches off the ice.

Somehow he stopped it with the shaft of the stick.

Was able to tuck that one in.

Didn't give him enough credit on the play call.

I thought it was a save and a loose puck, but he actually stopped it from going to the corner.

Broken stick on the draw, the Huskies, the Lill.

Huskies up to nothing.

Good clear by Michigan Tech, the Lill goes back for a new twig.

Ushio coming down, Ushio walking in, she was in a big save by Barney Scamwich.

Great opportunity for Ushio again.

Husky's got a big break right there.

Knocked out with a high stick with a hush.

He's touched it up.

Michigan Tech can't find the puck.

Read with it now.

Will send it in for the Manukes.

Two-nothing lead with a half period or half a minute, I should say.

Left to go in the period.

Johnson pitches it up.

This is going to get to the line.

Nicely held in.

Big hit there.

And a penalty coming up against Michigan Tech.

Another hit from behind of some sort.

Delayed call.

15.6 seconds remaining and what a shift by the Alaska Nanooks and the pushback.

Yeah, certainly.

Ushio was all over the ice that shift.

He tried to go short side.

He had a chance on the far post to go upstairs and just missing that.

It's a great A-quality

opportunity.

Michigan's act number 21, might have probably for a cross-checking.

And it's going to be Andreessen.

Another defenseman.

And good penalty killer for Michigan Tech, so the Huskies will put out Brenton and Parker defensively, Leffen, Van Blericom up front.

Well, first of all, for Michigan Tech fans, huge 15.6 seconds right here.

Draw, one by the Nanooks, back to the point, quick shot deflected by a Husky wide of the net.

10 seconds left to go in the period.

Another big hit down there, another hit down there, loose puck in front of the net.

Right there.

It's going away, but the Huskies will get the clear.

And that'll do it for the period.

Well, one of the best periods we've seen by Michigan Tech this season.

See the replay.

And the Huskies shorthanded to start the third period.

The Nanooks will have another chance to get in this back in this

game field.

Yeah, needless to say, that's going to be a big kill to start the third.

only up two to nothing so far.

You got to keep him off the board to start that third period.

We'll head down to the tunnel in just a moment.

The Huskies with a two nothing lead after two periods of play.

Our second period brought you by Copper Country Ford as Connor Roulette.

earned his second goal as a Husky.

Kind of congratulations on that goal.

It was just a lot of pressure by you guys.

Can you take us through what was going through your mind and what happened on that play?

Yeah, I mean

it first starts off with Parks making a great neutral zone pass.

I got kind of that initial shot off that miss and then just relentless forecheck from the guys and just a great play from Parks to throw it on that far pad.

I was just able to tap it in.

It went in a little slow, so it was a little scary, but you know, it felt great.

Connor looked from up here that that was a rebound.

We saw in the replay that that puck was knocked down by your stick and you were able to tap that in.

Was that intentional or was it just a reaction play?

Well, it was actually a double tip.

It hit off Gordo stick first and it was able to hit my stick right after it.

No, yeah, just you're sitting on the back side there waiting for a puck in.

You know, there's good enough players on this team, especially Parker.

He can see that and he throws it there.

And you know, he's got me and Gordon, Gordon Wayne back door, smart play by Parks.

Congratulations on the goal.

Good luck in the third.

Thank you.

All right.

Connor Roulette for the Huskies.

Before the Nathooks were able to get their first shot on goal in period number two.

Shots are now 24-18.

Nathooks had some good shifts in that second period, but the Huskies really dominated much of the play and really looked good, especially in that first half of the period.

Wayne Weller going in as a Hall of Famer for Michigan Tech, played back in the 60s, a great player for the Huskies.

Here's your question tonight, though.

That was his first year on the team, on the varsity.

Al Holm was the captain that season.

Pete Layman was one of two assistant captains.

What former athletic director was the other assistant captain on that 1965 national championship Huskies hockey team?

906-483-405-4.

You can win a 12-pack of Pepsi from Pepsi of Houghton.

Get in the question.

Wayne Weller has now officially been inducted into the Michigan Tech Sports Hall of Fame.

He was on that 1965 national championship team.

Al Holm was the captain.

Pete Lyman was one of the assistants, but there was one other assistant captain.

What former athletic director was that other assistant captain?

906-483-4054.

If you think you know the answer, give us a call and you can be the winner of a 12 pack of Pepsi from Pepsi of Houghton.

Good luck, everybody.

2-0 Michigan Tech.

After two periods, but the Huskies have a minute 45 to kill off on another penalty as the Nanooks will be on the power of play.

You're doing the Huskies hockey right here on MIX 93 WKMJ during our second intermission presented by Pizzani Company of Atlantic Mind.

With the cooling nights fast approaching, my thoughts go to the sauna and all of the great sauna supplies we just got in at Swift Hardware.

I also think about the weather stripping and those furnace filters.

Swift has a great selection of both.

thinking about putting my gardens to bed and putting that winterizer on the lawn too.

And I still have to fill those cracks in the driveway before I get the driveway sealer on.

Swift Hardware has all the fun to get all these fall projects finished.

brought to you by Pizani Company of Atlantic Mine and 2-0 lead for Michigan Tech.

We are playing Pepsi trivia brought to you by Pepsi of Holton and we got a winner.

Congratulations to Scott Burshing.

Oh, he knows the Michigan Tech hockey team.

He's been on that bench many, many games for Michigan Tech as a student manager and Scott had the right answer tonight.

Our question again revolving around newly inducted Wayne Weller for the Huskies.

Sports Hall of Fame.

Wayne played for the Huskies back in the 60s, including a 1965 national championship team.

And on that team was Al Holm, who was the captain.

Pete Lyman, who was one of the two assistants, who was the other assistant captain on that 1965 national championship team for Michigan Tech.

And your hint was that he was the athletic director.

We should have totally given it away.

And maybe it did.

Rick Yo was the right answer.

Congratulations Scott.

You can pick up your 12 pack of Pepsi at the mixed 93 WMPL studios in downtown Hancock and what a team that was.

I mean anytime you can win a national championship of course some of those earlier John McGinnis teams were just fascinating to watch you watch any film of them.

Yes the game is a lot slower than it is now but you can see the domination back in those McGinnis days.

Yeah, certainly, they just were such a powerhouse for so long there.

And like you mentioned, the 60s, 70s, right, before my time.

But you know, you see some of those clips from that era, and they were just that much better.

Absolutely.

So Scott, congratulations.

And again, the answer, Rick Yo was the other assistant captain on that 1965 team.

And I actually remember my dad telling me, my dad was down in the Sioux playing hockey.

McGinnis took his best players from that 65 team and went down there and kind of a little recruiting type situation.

You know, hey, you know, you guys want to come play.

Here's Rick Yoar, one of our assistant captain, one of our best players.

You know, it's pretty awesome stuff.

Yeah, it certainly is.

And Rick Yoar is just such a genuine guy.

You know, I can imagine that he was quite the recruiter back in the day to bring some talent into Michigan Tech.

Congratulations again to Wayne Weller being inducted into the

Hall of Fame.

He was the leading scorer on that 1965 team his first year which was a sophomore year because you couldn't play as a freshman back in those days.

And but I feel I wanted to go back to obviously Darcy Wade.

We've talked a lot about him but Colin Murphy again.

You played with him.

You practiced with him every day to I mean it just was such a treat to watch out there because I don't think anybody I've ever seen at this level slowed the game down like he did.

Yeah.

Murphy was special.

He was just

I was the same year as Murph, so we got to play together, like you said, for four years.

And you really got to understand how good he was.

And he just, like you mentioned, had that ability to just slow everything down, let the game come to him, and just that knack to take over a game whenever he felt like we needed to.

And like I said, to this day, I haven't seen many guys that really had

that hockey sense, that hockey IQ.

I think that's what really stood out to me about Colin Murphy.

He just could see the game one step ahead of everyone else.

And he looked like he was not skating fast, but he was.

And then when he looked like he was going to be in a panic, stressed situation, he wasn't.

And that was just a tremendous gift that he had.

Then you bring Chris Connor into the mix, right?

His second year or his third year.

And you had that speed on that line.

Take your Desmond.

was part of that run DMC line back in those days.

And for a little while there, they were one of the best lines in the country.

It certainly were.

You had that explosive speed.

Everyone remembers the Chris Connor days with the shorthanded goals.

He had that breakaway speed.

And he put him on a line with Murph.

And yeah, it just wasn't even fair.

So those guys were just something special to watch.

And Colin

Murphy have scored, of course, famously scoring four goals in that unbelievable comeback by Michigan Tech.

Back in 19 or sorry 2000 into 23 And we'll talk more about that as the weekend goes on intense wing wing nudge nudge all right do nothing late for Michigan Tech going into the third period, but they have a Penalty to kill off here.

Did we get stats for period number two quite yet?

Well, let's hear the second period goal It was Connor roulette getting his second as a husky here.

It was to give the huskies a to nothing lead

You know, it might look at that and say, oh, you know, it's a bit of a garbage goal or, you know, that word gets thrown around sometime.

That was complete domination on that shift by everybody on the ice from Michigan Tech.

They earned that goal.

They certainly

did.

And the whole period, they dominated that second period.

come out of that period and not get a goal would have really been a shame in itself.

So fortunately, the dam broke there eventually.

And good job by Conor Roulette to be in the right place at the right time.

Huskies out shooting the Nanooks right now, 24-18 after two periods of play.

And we've got third period action coming up in two minutes.

Michigan Tech two, UAF nothing.

Long way to go in this one though as the Nanooks have a minute 45 remaining out of power play.

We'll be back for the third period after these.

Right now.

I'm holding a perfectly ice cold Coors Light.

You know how I know it's the perfect temperature?

Because the mountain on the can is blue, and also it's really cold.

Every Coors Light is cold filtered, cold-loggered, and cold-packaged.

Notice how many times I said cold?

Three times.

It's that cold.

So make sure the mountain on your can of Coors Light is blue, because that means it's ready to enjoy.

Eventually, it's going to bounce his way.

Nothing yet with 207 left to go in the third.

Back trying to go forward with that face off.

would be thinking about getting Shay out other than that here, but they seem to be content with just playing this one out.

Well, the Huskies fans have joined the game both so far.

3-0 lead as we see that last save.

The stop, I should say, wasn't really a save.

It was going wide on the net.

DeLune back across the line over for Bassiano, coming down the right wing.

Not able to hold that one in, and it goes back out to center ice.

Last minute of play here in the third period.

Huskies up by three, back to the point for Alaska, a shot off the shoulder of Goltener Bartoskewicz.

Loose bucket for another shot.

Bartoskewicz, I think, made the same, or it hit the side of the net.

Tempting to get it back to the point.

Husky will take it away, and brought up now by Kosti Birti.

Kosti Birti weaves his way across the line on his offhand to the right wing.

Costa-Bertie, dropping it there for Reinhardt.

Mix 93, WKMJ, the Huskies come away with a three to nothing shut out over the Alaska Nanooks to improve their record of four and one.

Nanooks dropped to one and four.

Bill, you could not have said it any better.

Nanooks are a great team.

They will be back tomorrow night and better.

But Michigan Tech played a great game here tonight.

Yeah, they certainly did.

A really slow start in the first.

Alaska could have been up a goal for sure.

Michigan Tech was up one, luckily.

But the second and third were all Michigan Tech.

Tech really figured out how to get it done, but expect a hungry team tomorrow with Alaska.

Don't want to waste my questions with us discussing, as I like to talk to coach McCult about it, but certainly that five-minute major penalty for them to kill that

off was giant in this game.

It certainly was, because it was only one to nothing Michigan Tech at that time.

That could have been a pivotal point of the game had they given a goal

or two up during that power play.

And fortunately, the penalty kill really buckled down.

Alaska didn't have a lot to show for that five minute advantage that they had.

Yeah, especially the third, fourth, and fifth minutes of that penalty power play for the Nanooks.

The Huskies seem to be more methodical

as that penalty kill went along.

Yeah, they basically didn't even let them get the power play set up.

A lot of nice clears, a lot of chips into space to get easy clears.

Yeah, I was really impressed with that penalty kill.

Like you mentioned, the second half of that penalty kill on that five-minute major call.

3-0 victory tonight from Michigan Tech to get the shout out for Bartoskevic.

And we're going to get to our three stars as we wait for head coach Bill McCall to make his way to the tunnel camera.

And tonight, our third star, Phil, brought to you by your local state farm agents.

Who do we have?

Our third star tonight, number 12, Morgan Brady.

His first game as a Husky, stepped in as an extra defense, played a lot of extra minutes because of the penalty to Luke Shipley.

And I thought he got thrown into the fire a little bit, which is good for him.

And really stepped up to the task, had a nice assist off the end wall.

on a Michigan Tech goal.

So it gets his first point as a Husky, certainly deserving of a star.

How about our second star tonight?

Our second star tonight is Ushio number 13.

He's from Japan.

We call this name a lot tonight.

And he was all over the place for Alaska.

Had a lot of scoring opportunities, just

Couldn't quite find the back of the net, but I thought he had a great game for Alaska.

All right.

Do we have a separate number one in Superior Player?

Who's our number one star tonight?

Our number one star, Matthew Van Blaircom.

The first goal for Michigan Tech ends up being the game-winning goal.

His fourth goal in five games, he is just on the tear right now.

And just finding ways to score for Michigan Tech.

He's always in the right spot.

He has really good skills, speed.

He's a player that

could really make the jump to the next level.

And I thought he had a whale of a game tonight.

He did.

And we were talking about it during the play.

But once he got that goal and he's got four now, I mean, he's playing with so much confidence out there.

And he's not to the point where he's taking risks that he shouldn't take.

And I think that's the big difference from somebody who's confident and maybe overconfident.

He kind of knows what he can do.

Yeah, he certainly, like you mentioned, he's not cheating for offense.

He's still playing.

really responsible in the defensive zone.

But when the opportunity presents itself, number one, he's there.

And number two, he finishes.

And I think that's that ability to finish is just such a special skill.

And he definitely possesses that.

Three stars brought to you by your local state farm agents.

And we'll get to head coach Bill McCulter right now here on Mix 93 and Mitko Sports Plus, a 3-0 victory tonight for Michigan Tech.

over Alaska, congratulations coach.

The first period, I thought Alaska maybe took it to us a little bit more, but what a difference in the second and third period.

I don't know what you said to the guys in the first intermission, but quite a performance in period number two and number three.

Yeah, we got going, started to play to our identity and brand and feed our offensive side of the game.

I thought their goalie played extremely well.

I thought our penalty killing was a good factor in the game.

We've got to do a better job of staying out of the box, but I thought we controlled and dominated at points in the game.

And it's kind of one of those nights where Pucks weren't going in very easy for us, that's for sure.

Coach Morgan Brady steps in tonight.

His first game as a Husky.

Thought he had a really good game.

Ended up playing, looked like a lot more minutes and maybe as expected, but picks up an assist.

What do you have to say about his game?

Yeah, really happy with him.

You know, it's tough.

We've got a deeper turning core on the back end, but he's played really well in practice and he took advantage of the opportunity.

Obviously with ship.

being out, you know, got him into the game more.

I thought Tristan LaLisle was really good for us tonight, starting to see that he could have confidence in him killing penalties and doing little things his face off.

So it's good to see some of the younger guys starting to come along.

Coach, you know, we're

talking about Matthew Van Blericom and those type of guys that are trying to really impress offensively, but they're not cheating for offense.

At least we didn't see that tonight.

They were being, you know,

or making sure they're defensively sound before they did, and I thought that was a big key to tonight's success.

Yeah, I mean, when Matty's playing well, he skates so well, and that obviously was a tremendous puck battle that Gio wanted to play that he makes there, and really good move, finishes it up, upstairs over the goalie's pad.

But yeah, he's done a lot of good things for us.

He's been off to a good start, so it's great to see.

Coach, you already mentioned it before we let you go.

Well, Owen Barnaskevich, great

performance tonight, certainly giving him a huge shout out on the shout out.

But going back to that penalty kill coach, which to me was the linchpin of this whole game here tonight, our penalty kill got better as that five minutes went along.

The last two minutes, they really didn't have much going on.

Well, the penalty kill, it can be a momentum swing, right?

It's discouraging.

When you're on the power plane, you don't score or guys block shots.

I thought the first rotation was a little bit tough.

We had a couple opportunities to clear.

We didn't.

We got extended.

But once we got past that, I thought we, as a group, we did phenomenal.

So hats off to Benton and our players.

I mean, they're the ones that are going out, laying it online.

Very good, coach.

We'll let you go.

Congratulations

and good luck tomorrow night.

My pleasure.

Thanks, guys.

But yeah, I thought, you know, especially at the beginning of the game, when they were just getting out work, the shots were...

12 to 6 or something like that in the first period and you know if a few of those go in this ends up being a different game and he weathered the help tech weather the storm and get over that lackluster start and I think that really made the difference in the game.

I think so too and we talk about this a lot Phil when a goaltender is playing playing good early in the game and psychologically is getting in the heads of

the team that's trying to score on him when they don't score then now they start gripping the stick and we saw that even though they had some great open nets they were shooting it way high because in their head they're thinking they have to make that perfect shot and that's Owen Bartoskevich.

That's the reaction you get after he was so good early on in that first period.

Yeah, he's he's that good that it has to be a perfect shot to beat him.

And like you mentioned, they did have some quality and they just weren't able to capitalize tonight.

But I think tomorrow night they're going to be a really hungry team.

Not really a three nothing game in some aspects of this contest here.

Again, like Phil said, if this.

UAF team scores in that first period.

Possibly a completely different game if they could have got one during that five minute major.

Obviously a big difference in the game, but the Huskies played so well in that second and third period.

Great call on the superior play of the game and our three stars.

Superior National Bank bringing you our superior play of the game.

Three nothing final.

Phil and I wrap it up with some goal calls coming up right after this here on the post game show being brought to you by Kiwanot overhead door.

Edward Jones, remember,

SIPC.

Nothing, nothing was the score until the 13-17 mark of period number one when Matthew Van Blericom got this great feed for Morneau to give the Huskies a one to nothing lead.

No score.

Alaska has half the upper hand.

You had to give it to one team.

They have nine shots on goal.

A couple of odd man rushes.

Huskies with three shots on goal, but a chance to cross the line.

Morneau with a pass to the front right to Van Blericom.

It scores.

Now you, Van Blericom.

Giavanni of Arno and the Husky Pickle 1-0 lead.

Well, again, there was Alaska really controlling a lot of play around that.

But one little switch back the other way, you make a play and you capitalize it.

Yeah, and that's Matthew Van Blericombe.

He has that ability to just finish like we talked about in the post game here.

You give him an opportunity.

He's going to put it in the back of the net.

And a great pass there by Marneau.

Marneau with the primary assist.

Tom Leppa also checks in on that goal.

And Matthew Van Blericombe's fourth of the season.

The Huskies go into the intermission, getting an outshot, 11 to 6 in the first period.

What would the 1-0 lead?

We go to the second period.

And the Huskies were up 1-0.

A huge penalty kill for Michigan Tech as Shipley takes a five minute contact to the head penalty.

Game misconduct that sends him to the locker room for the remainder of the night.

Huskies down a man for five minutes and they were able to weather the storm.

And then Tom Leppa gets the goal.

Isaac Gordon, Caleb Parker gets the assist.

And this is the one that we thought, do I have, is this right?

I don't think this is right.

All right, well, you and I thought this was roulette, correct?

Yeah, I mean, looking back at the game, it definitely went off roulette stick, I thought, but according to the score sheet we're looking at, they have it down as Tom Lepa.

Well, let's just assume that we're right.

And here's the call to make the, give the Huskies a two-nothing lead at the 17-minute markup period, number two.

Here's another shot, this one wide by Brenton, and the Huskies with a shooting gallery, to the front, and he scores!

Kulak put it home as he was laying there in the crease, and the Huskies, they got 2-0 in lead here at the John McGinnis, stood in Icerita.

Isaac Gordon, Katelyn Parker getting the assist, we'll try to figure that one out, but it doesn't matter, the Huskies scored a big goal and complete domination in.

the second period there for Michigan Tech.

We go to the third with a Michigan Tech 2-0 lead.

The Huskies, by the way, out shooting the Nanooks in that second period, 18-8 and jumped out to that 13 shot to nothing lead in the second period before Alaska was able to get a shot on goal.

We go to the third, 801 in the third.

Tyler Miller, big goal for the Huskies to get that three goal separation.

Here it was his first of the season at the 801 mark.

to make it 3-0 Michigan Tech.

Michigan Tech will take it for Trembecky.

Trembecky's got to be getting tired.

Back to the point now.

Here's a chance for the Huskies Brady.

Brady hangs onto it.

Now he'll send it off the wall again.

Got it to the side of the goal and able to get it for Reinhardt.

Reinhardt to the middle.

Here's a shot by Miller.

NHL style shot right there by Miller, hey?

Yeah, it certainly was.

And I kind of feel bad listening to this replay because Miller really deserved a start tonight, too.

He was all over the ice and just had a spectacular game.

But what a shot, like you mentioned, just right off the bar and in, perfectly placed.

Huskies out-shoot the Nanooks, 15-11 in that third period.

And in the game, 39-30, Michigan Tech was 0-2 on the man advantage tonight.

And the Nanooks were 0-2, and that included

five-minute major that they did not score on.

Husky's penalty kill was really good.

Tyler Shea, fun to watch, see who he plays tomorrow night, or will Vashon get the nod.

But Tyler Shea, 36 saves.

Yes, he gets the loss here tonight, but boy, he made some unbelievable stops at Owen Bartoskevic with his fourth, I believe, shutout of his career, second as the Husky first of this season.

And he got to go back all the way

to a similar time last season against St.

Lawrence when he got his other shutout, but this is the first one at home.

So congratulations to Owen Bartoskiewicz.

30 saves on 30 shots outstanding tonight.

Phil, let's flip the page here.

and see how the face-offs went.

They ended up being pretty close, but Michigan Tech with a slight advantage, and nice to see their main face-off guy Max Constiparty back in true form.

Ten wins, five losses.

Yeah, certainly Max had a great game tonight with the draws, and a lot of those, too, came during...

the penalty kill which those draws especially are so important and I thought Max did a great job tonight trying to win those draws when they needed him the most.

Huskies get the win here tonight three to nothing is the final and take a quick look at our scores before we sign off.

Ottertown scoreboard brought to you by Peterland distributing Minnesota to look leading Minnesota.

Huskies are very interested in that game Minnesota to look to Minnesota one that is halfway through

The almost actually, oh no, wow, they just changed that score.

It just went to six to one, Minnesota Duluth.

Come on, Gophers.

North Dakota leading Bentley, three to nothing.

Michigan is taking a one-nothing lead at Denver.

That's a big matchup tonight.

Bowling Green and Niagara are in late in overtime, two-two right now as we try to keep tabs on the other CCHA teams in non-conference play.

Merrimack defeats Minnesota State.

That's a tough one right there, four to three of the final tonight.

Northern Michigan Wildcats are in a comfortable lead right now at home against Stone Hill 4-1 in favor of Northern Michigan.

And tonight, Lake Superior is at Alaska.

Phil, your overall thoughts on this big one here tonight for Michigan Tech to get their fourth of the season.

Well, you know, I think Michigan Tech, they really decided after that first period that, you know, they need to play to their identity.

I think they came out in the second and third and just really possessed the puck for most of those two periods.

Really not.

much of a threat by Alaska in the second and third and that being said the first period could have been grossly different and fortunately it wasn't which allowed for a nice win here at home.

Three nothing final thanks to Phil Piedle on the broadcast tonight thanks to Steve Beck at our studio's engineering the program and thanks to all of our sponsors and of course you the listener if you can't make it here tomorrow night be right here we'll have the broadcast where you're starting at 5 30 and don't forget Josh has

Now to the press box for the high school football game of the week.

Good evening, everyone, and welcome to Volunteer Field, here in beautiful...

Michigan today.

The clash of two teams looking to squeak their way into the MHSAA playoffs in their respective divisions as the three and four Hancock Bulldogs take on the three and four Purple Hornets from right here in Launce.

Jake Condon-Villian for Jimmy Young today for your high school football game of the week here on WMPL.

And like I just mentioned, it is a big game for both of these teams.

Purple Hornets currently sitting at 36 of 60 teams in the division eight playoff point ladder.

Remember, you need to make the top 32 by the end.

season in about a week's time to qualify for the postseason.

Hancock Bulldogs sitting at 50th of 63 in the division five standings but still have a little bit more time to squeak in but both of these teams see this as a must-win game to keep their playoff hopes alive.

a big showdown today.

We haven't gotten the chance to cover the Hancock Bulldogs since week two in that matchup the first one of the year and the first career win for Hancock Bulldogs head coach Brennan Leclerc, a 58 to nothing shutout win against the West Iron County Wycons in that week two matchup.

Wycons have since actually ended their season after the first four weeks of the MHSAA year.

So, Bulldogs are looking to justify that win with a big statement victory against the Purple Hornets today.

Hancock bulldogs actually rattled off back to back to back wins as part of their record over the course of this season.

Winning against Manistek and Gwynn in the following weeks of that West Iron County showdown.

Lance Purple Hornets have cut off of two losses similar to the bulldogs in the past couple of weeks to Barkover Harris and Iron Mountain for the Purple Hornets.

So they're looking to bounce back after two wins, especially that win against Barkover Harris, you would think would have essentially

bought them a playoff bid, but now these two games must win for the team sitting in front of us on volunteer field today.

0 0 welcome back everybody pregame coverage continuing here on 107 3 the uber and our first superior service coaches interview of the night is going to be with Hancock Bulldogs head coach Brennan Leclerc coach Thank you so much for your time.

Yep.

Happy to be here Taking a look back the last game you were able to cover of yours was in week two against West Iron County Your first career winners head coach the Bulldogs final score in that game was 58 to nothing So fantastic result for you the following two weeks you rattled off back to back wins against Bannett Steak and Gwynne so

I just wanted to ask you first and foremost, how did it feel not only to notch your first career winnings head coach, but also to have already have a better win total than the past few seasons of Bulldog football?

No, it was a great way to start the season.

Obviously, a tough competition gets out of your mountain to start it off, but I think

The guys were learning as they were going on getting better week to week and it's nice to see early success in the season and keep guys interested and we knew we were going to have a tough end of the schedule so it was good to get those couple wins and just seeing having the community see hey this program's moving in the right direction was nice.

In that process, have there been any particular players or staff members around you that have really stepped up and been a big impact part of this season, at least from your perspective?

Yeah, I think the captain's doing a great job, especially with the new guys that came out for the first year of football, you know, keeping them interested, keeping it optimistic at practice, always making sure practice isn't just getting through practice, but we're getting better at every practice we have.

And then the new coaching staff we've had this year has been terrific.

Couldn't ask any

anything better for those coaches that have helped me along the way.

And it's been a while since this late in the season the Hancock Bulldogs have still been in the playoff picture.

It'd be a bit of a long shot to get in there right now and of course winning out is a key difference and even having a possibility of making a playoff still.

But just with the idea of playoffs looming in

The players, minds, everybody else around this team.

What has been the message to the players day in and day out of just trying to keep them focused on what's ahead of them right now?

We always say, hey, especially during a game, take it play by play.

Focus on that six seconds right in front of you first, and then move on to the next.

Move on to the next.

Focus on that quarter.

Focus on that half.

Focus on that game.

We always take it one game at a time.

Never want to get caught looking too far forward.

But obviously, when you have a start like how we did this season,

And that playoff word pops in your head.

You know, it definitely gets guys a little bit more excited.

And, you know, we haven't felt that in a couple of years now.

And looking ahead at this week's game in particular, Lance Purple Hornets actually have the same record, same conference standing as you for the moment.

So what are you coming to expect from Coach Griffin and what we think will be a very close game

this week?

They have a lot of young guys, you know,

They're a good program.

They had playoffs last year, so, you know, you can't look past them.

Real good skill, guys.

QB can be elusive, so just make sure we're covering, you know, any passing they do, and then, you know, stopping the run, and then on offense, you know, make sure we establish the run, and, you know, try to pound that ball, get those a couple yards, move the chains, and then just keep the momentum going on offense.

Hancock Bulldogs coach Brandon LaFlair, thank you so much for your time.

Good luck in this week's game.

Yep, thank you.

Taking a look at your season overall so far, sitting at three and four as your current record, you're coming off of losses to Barker for Harris and Iron Mountain, the top two teams right now in the West Pack Iron Division.

What needed work from your roster that you saw in those past two games that you want to brush up as the season comes to a close?

Physicality for sure.

You know, we're just trying to match physicality and get these kids to a point of no return where, you know, you would just leave it on the field every time.

That's something we've been working on over and over and over game after game.

And some, you know, we just have a problem with consistency with doing that.

And I think we're moving in the right direction or just we haven't been there yet since last last few games.

This is a team that we don't get to see much of on our coverage.

So just for our listeners who aren't super familiar with the Purple Hornets squad, are there any particular players you want to mention that they should keep their eyes on tonight?

Yeah, I mean, we have Kale Cycles.

He's our quarterback.

He orchestrates everything.

You know, we run an RPO offense.

He's usually making a decision to run or pass on almost every play.

Connor Kempinen, he's our tail back.

Then Vinny Saredi, he's our full back.

You know, we have some receiving threats with Rhys Lydala and Ryan Turpinon and Mikey Dellich at tight end.

Those skills guys will be on the field pretty much the entire game.

And they'll be producing most of the hearts for us.

All right.

And taking a look at these last couple weeks of the regular season, you're currently sitting at 36th in the playoff points for Division VIII.

So you're right next to that playoff bubble.

Top 32 make the playoffs.

This looks like it's going to be essentially a must-win game for you tonight.

So how has that impacted the team's preparation or maybe just the mentality going into and out of the week, at least from your perspective?

Well, we practiced all week as if this was a playoff game.

Full intentions of coming in and

doing everything we need to do in our control to execute our game plan to win this game.

Knowing it's a playoff game, they're Division 5 team.

So we get some bonus points that could potentially put us in that top 32 teams.

So that's what we're looking forward to right now is that this is a playoff game tonight for us.

And finally, this Hancock Bulldogs team sitting at the exact same record in conference and overall is you at the moment.

I know they just dropped down to the Iron Division, but a team that you've seen quite a bit over the past few years, what have you learned to expect from this Bulldogs squad?

Well, they're a tough squad.

They always have been.

And now they have a new coach.

So there's different wrinkles.

There's different things that he's doing.

So you've got to pick up on keys on film that you haven't seen before in the past, different formations that haven't been there in the past.

It's not the same pregame set up, different players obviously every year.

So it's just a matter of executing our game plan that we prep for all week and seeing what we can accomplish.

All right.

Lance Purplehorn, it's head coach Mike Griffin.

Thank you so much for your time.

Good luck in this week's matchup.

Thank you.

Have a good one.

You too.

We're going to start first with the home team, the Lawns Purple Hornets.

And you heard Coach Mike Griffin talk about it in his pre-game interview.

Kale Psykos is going to be the big player to watch for the Purple Hornets as the quarterback today.

mentioned that it's a very option heavy offense.

I've seen a couple different formations that the Purple Hornets have been trying to run in their warm-ups on the field right now and it seems like they're running a lot of formations where they have the quarterback centered with a running back on each side and a tailback behind those three players.

So lots of options out of the backfield but Kale Psycho's number one the junior quarterback for the Purple Hornets

is going to be the player facilitating that and

often making the reads in time on the field of

other players to watch out for.

Are there running backs in the backfield with them?

Number five, Connor Kempinen.

Number one, er, number zero.

Excuse me, Finney Serretti will be back there as well, getting a large number of the carries.

Shifting over to the Hancock Bulldogs, the two players we saw absolutely shine in the week two match against West Iron County for senior quarterback number 11, Ben Karenin.

And of course, number 26, the senior running back, Levi Kinnanen.

Those two players were responsible for a lot of the carries.

The quarterback, Karen, was also very active in the passing game in that matchup.

And we'll have to see what the Bulldogs offense looks like in comparison to that week two matchup in a game that we at least expect on paper to be quite a bit closer.

Again, these two teams currently share a three and four overall record, both three and two in the West Pack Iron Division so far this season.

So whoever wins this game, I believe we'll have officially clinched third place in the division.

to wrap up the final season standings as Horton Harris and Iron Mountain are the current top two teams and they both have these two games on both of these squats.

We'll now take a look at the game day forecast brought to you by Bucco's party store and it is expected to get cold tonight here at volunteer field and lots currently 40 degrees feels like

34.

So one of the coldest games, I believe the single coldest game we've had so far in our coverage on either MIX 93 or right here on 107.3.

It's expected to get down to about 35 degrees by the time this game wraps up.

So the cold is going to be something to keep in mind.

for the players and the coaching staff on both teams.

Something to keep in mind when you're considering, you know, players stamina and making sure they're ready to go for the next few plays on the field.

Doesn't look like we have a significant chance of any kind of precipitation tonight, so that'll be nice.

Hopefully, the skies will stay relatively clear here at Volunteer Field in Lotz.

And finally, the view from the press box brought to you by Uncle's Restaurant in Hancock.

It's another stunner, folks.

I know that we haven't gotten the chance to leave the four teams that we've largely covered.

This is the first time we're actually following a team from the Hancock area on the road this season.

And down here at Volunteer Field, it is an absolutely stunning place to take a look at.

There's a tree line about a couple hundred feet back from the field on the opposite side.

We're seeing more and more fans starting to file in.

from downtown Monts.

There was actually an event going on downtown earlier today.

The Boo on the Bay Trunk or Treat event.

So a lot of families down in downtown Monts today trying to, you know, get used to some of the local sites, enjoying the nice fall weather while it's still warm enough to do things outside for extended periods of time.

But we'd expect that they're going to fill in here at Volunteer Field quite a bit more as the night progresses and we get closer and closer to kickoff.

We'll be back here in just 30 seconds on WMPL and then we're going to have the national anthem and kick off coming up in just a moment for your high school football game of the week.

Welcome back everybody, high school football game of the week right here on WMPL.

Over the break we had the coin toss, Hancock won the toss and deferred.

They'll be kicking from our right hand side in the press blocks to the left, which means the Lons Purple Hornets will receive to begin this game.

ought to be a very exciting game again these two teams exact same record exact same conference record so jockeying not only for conference position but also a playoff bid in their respective divisions Hancock Bulldogs in division 5 and large part due to the co-op with some other local high schools in Chepers, Dollar Bay, Chassel I believe they also have Payne Stale as an associated school but I don't believe any players from the Bulldogs roster come from that town or come from that district although it is I believe the same as the Jeffers

of a high school level.

Lawn's also a co-op with Berriga in a few different programs.

I'm not sure what Purple Hornets players are actually from that Berriga system, but nice to see two co-op schools in the area going at it in a pretty exciting matchup in this week's 8MHSA high school game.

About four and a half minutes to go on our kickoff timer as the fans in the Lawn's high school band begins to file into the stands.

Hancock Bulldogs are still on their sidelines getting ready for today's game while Purple Hornets have had it back to the locker room to get going.

It ought to be a fantastic night here in Locke.

But if you're currently up in the Houghton Hancock area and you're looking forward to Michigan Tech Huskies hockey, they've got a series tonight at home at the Mac against Alaska.

The man who's coming back to Houghton for the first time in a few years, I believe.

I know last season they played up in Fairbanks.

But the Huskies are hosting after a week away in St.

Cloud, taking on the St.

Cloud State Huskies.

Huskies went on the road, split that series after sweeping their home opener against the Minnesota Golden Govers.

They currently sit at three and one.

Alaska, one and three.

Last week they won their first game of the year against Boston College, then lost at Union College.

Alaska, obviously a team that travels quite a bit more than the standard squad.

They are going to be on the road quite a bit over the course of the season, looking to get back to a 500 record if they can pull off a sweep against the Huskies, but obviously with how the Huskies have been playing so far, that looks like it'll be a pretty tall order.

Additionally, number 14 ranked Michigan Tech football going to be playing Northern Michigan in the Miners Cup, that at Curly Stadium this year, who's at the Superior Dome last season, so back in Houghton this year.

Pre-game show will be at 11 o'clock, kickoff at 12 noon

over on Mix 93.

Josh and Coachella

will be calling that game.

I also forgot to mention, I think, a 6-30 pre-game and a 7 o'clock start tonight for Huskies Hockey.

Durkheim-Braub will be calling that one along with the game tomorrow with a 5-30 pre-game and a 6-07 puck drop for Huskies Hockey.

Lots of excitement here.

Fans are beginning to file into the stands a bit more here at Volunteer Field.

And we're going to take one more quick break.

We'll be back in a minute as we prepare for the National Anthem and kickoff coming up right here on WMPL.

Again, the quarterback for the Purple Hornets.

Number one, Kale Psycho's going to be starting for the Purple Hornets on offense.

We'll see what formation they come out with.

I mentioned earlier, it seemed like they had a four back formation they were working on earlier.

It'll be a more standard eye formation to start this one.

Kale Psycho's will start under center.

Two receivers out to his right with two backs behind in the back field.

Psycho's takes the handoff, he'll hand it off.

And the tailback will get cycled near the line of scrimmage, maybe a loss of a yard.

So a nice start for the Bulldogs on defense.

It was number five, Connor Kempinen with the first carry of the game.

Second down and 10, officially a run for no gain on the first play of the game.

An early touchdown by the Purple Hornets gives him a six to nothing lead here at Volunteer Field.

Hancock Bulldogs about to get the ball back, hoping to respond in turn and tie this game up, potentially taking the lead with a successful conversion.

The kicker out there for the Purple Hornets is number 15, Miles Vanelstein, and he'll sky that ball up, caught by one of the returners in the backfield for the Bulldogs who cuts up field and he'll be brought down at about the 35 yard line.

Believe it was number 28 for the Bulldogs, Blake Heltinen on that return.

And he will start exactly at the 35 yard line, first and 10 coming up for Hancock.

And the quarterback number 11, Ben Karenin.

Looking to get this offense going early.

Eye formation for the Bulldogs, one receiver out on each side.

Karenin, under center.

Takes the snap and he landed off up the middle the tail back will get tackled after a gain of a yard or two I believe that is Levi Kinnon and on the first carry of the first carry of the game And it was actually number 28 that was Blake Hilton and once again who took the first carry of the game second down after a gain of three it'll be seven yards to go Looking to get to exactly the 45 for a first down high formation once again Karenin lines up under center

Welcome

back everyone, a tie game after about four minutes of action.

Touchdowns on the opening drive for both teams here at Volunteer Field.

Hancock bulldogs get on the board with a 55 yard touchdown pass from Ben Karenin to number seven Max Nordstrom.

Purple Hornets able to cash in on four plays on their opening drive.

So two quick drives of breakaway play for both.

Bulldogs were able to get one that resulted in a touchdown.

Purple Hornets had to punch it in.

and a beeline kick by the Bulldogs once again, recovered by one of the returners for the Purple Hornets in the backfield.

That's number two this time, Reese Lightela, who looked like he might have broken free again for a moment, but he's actually tackled at about the 30 yard line, first in 10 coming up for the Purple Hornets.

Both teams on offense humming so far.

751 on the clock in this first quarter of action in Lantz.

Both of these teams with a three and four record.

And it looks like we're shaping up for an offensive slugfest based on these first couple of drives.

Huddle breaks with the Purple Hornets they had out.

And it will be Kale Psycho's in shotgun this time.

One of the running backs to his right.

Takes the snappy hands it off the number five Kempinen and he'll be met in the backfield and brought down for a loss of a yard Nice work by the Hancock front seven so far outside of that one play they let through Believe it was Kempinen who broke free on that third and turn Oh, excuse me.

It was Vinnie Saretty who broke free for that big 45 yard run on the previous drive It was Kempinen who punched them all into the end zone on the following play

Lots of different weapons out of the backfield for this Purple Hornets team.

We'll see who they rely on most on the rest of this drive and in the rest of this game.

Second and 10, about a loss of half a yard on that first down play.

Psycho's under center, takes the snap and he'll roll out to his left looking to throw and that ball is bobbled once again and then complete a little bit out of reach for number 13.

That's Mikey Delich.

Listed as a tight NMI roster, talking with some of the people in the press box pre-game sounds like he's largely been lining up as a wide receiver this season so far.

And a third, about 10 and a half to go after the incompletion.

Bulldogs defense, last time on third down gave up a big play, a touchdown on the following first down from about the 12 yard line, and a timeout is called by the Purple Hornets.

Timeouts in today's game brought to you by Harders Party Store.

Again, both teams know how much is at stake in this one.

Bulldogs have a bit of a tougher route into the postseason picture.

They essentially have to win out to even have a chance.

A lot of teams above them currently in the standings will also have to do them some favors.

The teams they've faced over the course of this season will need to win some games to pick up some extra bonus points to boost their playoff point total.

Lance Purple Hornets, they've got this game and a game against Calumet at Agassi Field next week, so they would really like to win this game and not have to rely on a long shot bid on top of winning against the Copper Kings next week.

This game would likely be worth more points.

Cali met a Division 6 team.

The Hancock Bulldogs in Division 5.

Purple Hornets head back out onto the field.

Hancock defense ready to meet them.

And it will be Psycho's in shotgun with a back on each side.

Takes the snap, takes the handoff, and he's looking to throw over the middle of the field.

That ball is... Cod won an incredible catch!

Mikey Delitz redeeming himself on a ridiculous catch over the middle of the field.

One of the defensive backs for the Bulldogs.

I believe it was number 20.

Pietela was all over him in coverage and it did not matter.

For a moment, I thought the Bulldog defender may have come away with that ball on an interception, but what an incredible catch.

A game of about 17 on that play.

First at 10, Purple Hornets head back to the line of scrimmage going no huddle.

First intent coming up four receivers out wide for psychos in shotgun Psychos takes the snap cuts at the middle.

He's gonna keep it himself psychos out to the left hand side psychos breaks free down the sideline and forced out of bounds around the 30 yard line another big gain for the Hornets first intent coming up four lots About halfway through the first quarter purple Hornet offense is humming Back to back big plays

Purple Hornets rush back to the line after the reception by number 13 Delich Trying to catch the Bulldog defense off guard went four wide psychos kept the ball himself went right up the middle of the field and able to find a nice big gain on That one first and 10 coming up back to I formation now for Lance two receivers to psychos left Takes the snap hands it off.

That's number five Kempinen Kempinen will gain

About five or six yards by the looks of it.

Second down coming up.

Slowing down for a moment now.

Purple Hornets offense was trying to catch the Bulldogs off guard, going no huddle.

And now a second down and five.

Tied 6-6 here.

That volunteer field and lots.

The hometown Purple Hornets doing a nice job on offense so far.

Psycho's under center for this play, second down at five, two receivers to his left in eye formation, takes the snap, hands it off, and that will be Kempinen off to the races once again.

He'll get forced out of bounds around the 15, a nice gain, more than enough for the first down.

Hornets once again, move the chains.

Five minutes 30 to go in the first quarter, clock is stopped.

Oh, 5.35 left, excuse me.

And they are in the red zone.

Red zone sponsor for tonight's game.

It's Gino's restaurant in Hancock.

And the first in 10 is coming up.

Psycho's under center.

Two backs in the backfield.

It's Saredi and Kempinen.

Psycho takes the snap, hands it off to Kempinen, and he will be met and brought down behind the line of scrimmage.

Looks like a loss of a yard or two on that first down play, second and 12 coming up.

It was Trent Piedola.

in on the tackle.

Purple Hornets trying to keep moving.

Second and 12.

Psycho's in shotgun, the running back number five, that's Kempinen, to his left, two receivers out to the left as well.

Psycho takes the snap, fakes the handoff, keeps it himself, and he'll break out to the left-hand side, he's brought down.

He'll gain a few yards before being brought down nice work there by Kale psychos Waiting for the exact spot, but it will be a third it down coming up It'll be a third and five Brought down at the ten yard line.

What can you get to the five for a first and goal?

Four minutes 25 and counting

Purple Hornets offense heads back out.

I formation receivers to the right side.

Psycho's under center.

Takes the snap, hands it off to Saredi up the middle, and Saredi will be tackled.

I believe he's short of the first down, but it will be close.

And it will be a fourth down and about a yard.

Vinny Saredi a gain of four yards.

You gotta think Lantz is gonna stay out there and go for it.

They do have a kicker on their roster, Miles Van Elstein.

And the offense will stay out on the field.

Psycho's under center, it's eye formation.

Two receivers out to the left are number two and three.

That's Laila, Interpen and respectively.

Takes the snap, hands it off to Serenity and he's met at the line and he's going to be still on his feet somehow, finally brought down in the backfield.

Bulldogs are going to retake possession on a turnover on downs.

Nice work by the Hancock Bulldogs on defense keeping.

Oh, they're going to check the spot here and now it's official.

First in ten Hancock Bulldogs.

Purple Hornets were humming on offense, got all the way down to the seven yard line.

Eventually the six yard line on that fourth down.

Bulldogs do a nice job of holding them away from the end zone on a fourth down and one.

Bulldogs are going to take over at their own six yard line.

And Ben Karenin gets the play from the Bulldogs sideline coach Brendan Leclerc looking for his fourth win in his first year as head coach of the Bulldogs.

Karenin under center.

Eye formation and receiver on each side.

Karenin takes the snap looking to throw looking to his left throws it over to the sideline and that is incomplete a little too short for his intended target.

Believe it was number 18, Ted Kilpala that he was looking for on an out route.

Tried to air the ball over the defensive line to him.

Ball came up a little bit short, second and ten coming up.

Ball is spotted, it's the seven yard line.

Bulldogs not a ton of room to work behind them.

Karen in under center I formation two receivers out to the left hand side now one of them number seven Max Nordstrom the touchdown receiver earlier It'll be a handoff Looks like a game of a few yards for the fullback on that play It was Trent Pietta out of the backfield he'll gain a few yards third and five coming up for Hancock

Karenin heads back to the sideline has the play ready to go for the Bulldogs on a big third down Not able to pick up the first here.

You've got to think they're likely to punt don't want to give the Hornets back the ball in the red zone Karenin under center And tries to get players to jump in the purple Hornets are celebrating like they got a false start from one of the offensive linemen

And it will be a false start against the Bulldogs make that third and five a third and ten First penalty in today's game.

Don't be penalized for bad service.

He key would all automotive celebrating their 40th year of service this year a Third and ten coming up need to get some yards here just to get a punt off cleanly Ball at the seven yard line Karen and under center

One back behind him, two receivers out wide.

Takes a snap, Karenin stepping back to pass, looking to his left, rolling out of the pocket, and he'll be brought down!

Oh, this might be a safety, folks, it is a safety!

Karenin with a loss of seven on the sack, and two points on the scoreboard for the Purple Hornets, making it eight to six!

It's far o-

It's far in the opposite corner from where we are in the press box, folks.

I'm not sure which Purple Hornet brought down Karenin.

But a big mistake for the Bulldogs.

2-15 to go in the first quarter.

Purple Hornets lead 8-6 and they're getting the ball back.

The first time we've seen a safety all year in our coverage.

on mix 93 or right here on 107.3 the uber and it's a it's going to be a kickoff instead of a punt like you may be used to in NFL rules but it is from a position further back on the field it looks like they're kicking off from the 20 yard line

It'll be number 26.

That is Levi Kinnon and out there ready to kick this ball away.

We'll try to get the player who got that sack in the end zone for you in a moment, folks.

Kickoff comes.

It's another low-lining kick.

Lands about the 40-yard line for Lantz.

One of the returners picks it up.

He'll get to midfield and a little bit more before he's forced out of bounds around the Hancock 40-yard line.

That was number zero for the Purple Hornets.

That was Vinnie Saretty, who got the ball and brought it up into Bulldog territory.

First and 10 coming up for launch.

And we'll see if that offense can find the in-zone on their third drive after being stifled for a turnover on downs a few minutes ago.

A false start penalty on third and five backs the Bulldogs up.

Karen and sacked in the in-zone for a safety afterwards.

The compounding mistakes the penalties can cause and the problems that result on display there.

Psycho's takes the snappy hands it off to number two.

That's Reese Lightela.

He'll cut out to the right-hand side.

He'll gain a couple yards before being stopped.

Gain of about three second down and seven coming up for the Purple Hornets.

A minute 52 and counting to go in the first quarter play.

Lance leads 6-0 over the Hancock Bulldogs.

Huddle breaks for the Purple Hornets.

Big second down coming up.

Ball is at the Bulldog 38-yard line.

Psycho's.

In shotgun, that three-back shot I was mentioning earlier, he fakes the handoff, he'll keep it himself, and he's brought down in the backfield!

Sacked, I believe, by number 77.

That's Jasper Tolles, the captain.

Make it third and nine.

Loss of two yards on that play.

Bulldog defense looking to remedy the mistake made by the offense.

And good progress towards that so far, a net gain of one yard so far on two plays.

Under a minute ago on the first.

Might be time for one more play after this one.

Psycho's in shotgun, has number five.

That's Kemp and into his right takes the snap and the play is blown dead a flag on this play I believe is a false start going against the Hornets and that is exactly what it is Back them up five more yards third down and 14 coming up with 39 seconds to play in the first Hornets ready to go

on a big third and long.

It's not often that you want to punt on the opposing team's side of the field, but an incompletion here or a gain of few yards might encourage launch to do just that.

Whistle blows, clock resumes under 20 seconds to play now.

A back on each side of Kale.

Psycho's in shotgun.

One receiver out to his right.

He'll take the snap, looking to throw, looking to the right hand side of the field.

And that ball is caught by Ryan Turpinan, who will be close to the first down marker before being brought down.

We'll see if he has the distance for the first after an official

measurement.

Last by Psycho is his complete Ryan Turpinan.

Ryan Turpinan.

Takes it down close to a first down, let's see what the

official says.

Still waiting to see the spot.

The clock is at zero.

The first quarter is over.

But we need to see what the spot is here before we do anything else.

Officials having a conversation about where exactly to place this ball, trying to get to the 31-yard line for a first down.

And it looks like the Purple Hardens will go into the corner break with a first down, a nice completion for about 15 yards to Ryan

Turpinit.

That wraps up the first quarter of play here at Volunteer Field.

We'll be back in one minute for the start of the second quarter right here on WMPL.

He'll gain about four yards before being tackled at a forest out of bounds.

It was Levi Kinnonen in on the tackle.

Second down and seven coming up for the purple Hornets they currently lead eight points to six Call it again a four actually so a second and six coming up for the purple Hornets Ball is currently at the Hancock 27 yard line looking to get to the sorry 21 for a fresh set of downs Psycho's under center

Eye formation.

He'll take the snap, and he'll fake the handoff rolling out to his right.

Pressure comes.

Psycho goes for the bail route.

He's not going to find number 13.

That was Mikey Delich.

He was open in the flat, but pass was a little too low.

Third and six coming up.

It's a long six yards to go for the Purple Hornets.

No gain on the incompletion clock is stopped.

and Lantz trying to keep this drive alive.

Their first drive of the game.

A massive breakaway run by the fullback, Vitti Soretti, got them a first down at about the 14 yard line.

It was number five, Connor Kempinen, who found the end zone shortly after.

Psycho takes the snap and shotgun.

He's evading pressure in the pocket and he'll finally be brought down near the line of scrimmage for a loss of yards.

Fourth down coming up.

in on the sack was number 76 of the Bulldogs Trent Bodewin fourth down and about eight yards to go Purple Hornets again in that awkward spot on the field where despite it being a fourth and long really not much choice but to go for it here punting would be risky business a touchback would only net them about 15 yards

And it looks like the Purple Hornets are going to take their second time out of the half.

Only one left for the home team.

Bulldogs still have all three in their pocket.

Remember Hancock kicked the ball off to start this game.

They will receive the second half kick off.

So down two right now, if they can stop the Hornets on this drive and get going downfield, potentially find the end zone again.

They'll be doing just fine after that safety.

8-6 the current score here at Volunteer Field.

10-33 is where the clock is stopped.

Hornets took a timeout.

They were showing an offensive set before they called that timeout.

I wouldn't expect that to change as they leave this huddle on the sideline.

Purple Hornets coach Mike Griffin trying to rally his team, find this first down.

Head coach here in Lantz since 2023, found the playoffs the first time last year.

Lost in the first round to a very good Iron Mountain squad.

Hancock Bulldogs under first year head coach Brennan Leclerc.

Looking for their first playoff appearance since the COVID year.

Since before that, I believe it was 2017 when they matched against Menominee in the playoffs.

And the offense will stay out there for receivers wide.

Three on the right side for Kale Psycho's in the backfield in Shotka.

Sorretti will motion from left to right.

It's a screen pass to Sorretti who's blown up in the backfield.

Dodges the hit.

He'll be brought down near the line of scrimmage by a pile of Bulldog defenders.

Turnover on downs once again.

Bulldogs will get the ball back.

Nice fourth down stand once again by the Bulldogs defense.

They've looked great tonight.

Bar that one big play on the first drive.

I think they've allowed what?

Maybe 30 total yards of offense.

Nice work.

by Hancock.

Two big fourth down stands.

And the offense will head back out for Hancock, showing eye formation with Ben Karenin under center, two backs in the backfield.

Karenin with a receiver on each side.

Line gets set, takes the snap, bobble pass rolls out to his right, and Karenin finds a player open in the flat.

I believe it's Chase Piedola, and he'll be brought down.

Sorry Trent Piedola, getting my Piedolas mixed up.

Long time Michigan Tech Huskies hockey viewer.

Quite a few Piedolas to keep in mind.

But there Trent Piedola able to gain enough for the first down, a gain of exactly 10 yards to move the chains for the Bulldogs.

Ball at the Bulldog 40 yard line, looking to get to exactly at midfield for a first down.

I formation once again, two receivers out to the left hand side now.

Cavern it.

Takes the snap, and it'll hand it off to the full back, up the middle.

A game of about five yards before he's brought down.

Want to make sure we get the number right on this player.

And it looks like that was actually number 58, Brandon Colbert.

In for his first carry of the game, a game of five yards.

9

minutes 40 and counting to go in the first half of play.

Bulldogs trail six to eight.

But with the ball near midfield on their own side, second down and five coming up.

Karen and under center.

Takes the snap, hands it off to the running back in the backfield.

That's Kenan and he'll gain about four yards.

But he will be stopped short of the first down.

Apologies that's I believe that actually is number 28 Blake Helton and on the carry Have not seen much of Levi kid and then in the offensive set so far Helton has been getting the bulk of the carry.

He's staying out there for this third and two Three receivers set two on the right-hand side Karen and takes the snap he's gonna run right up the middle with it and he will have more than enough for the first down

Quick burst of speed through the offensive line a game about six yards on that third and two Bulldogs gonna move the chains crossing midfield Ball is spotted at the lots 47 yard line Eight minutes 35 to go clock continues to roll after the spot

A receiver out on each side.

It's number 10.

That's Connor Hellman on the left.

Max Nordstrom on the right.

Karenon under center.

Then Karenon takes the snap stepping back to pass while he do his right.

Nordstrom deep downfield and he will catch the ball and be tackled at about the 10 yard line.

Max Nordstrom with two deep receptions on go routes so far today.

And the Bulldogs move the chains once again.

Her ball spotted at the 20 yard line.

Excuse me.

So a gain of about 24 yards on that play.

Had that 55 yard touchdown pass earlier today.

Not able to find the end zone on this one, but a big first down for the Bulldogs at the launch 22.

Karen and under center, a receiver on each side.

Takes the snap.

He'll hand it off in the backfield and that's number 28.

Hilton in once again brought down near the line of scrimmage.

We'll check the spot here in a moment.

And it will be a run for no game, maybe a loss of a foot or so.

But the Bulldogs, the passing game when they choose to use it has been pretty great so far for Hancock.

Two deep completions already to Max Nordstrom on that right hand side of the field.

Now he'll line up on the left with his teammate number 10, Connor Hellman, and takes the snap.

It's a pitch off to number 28.

That's Heltedon up the right hand side of the field.

He'll gain quite a few yards.

We're going to check to see the official spot, but it looks like a third and shortest coming up for the Bulldogs.

A gain of seven yards on that

play.

The sun is already set here at Volunteer Field.

The night's getting a little bit longer.

Sun setting a little bit earlier.

And quite a bit more football under the lights in these last few weeks to go.

Up in the Kiwanaw.

Two receivers to the left for Ben Karenin.

Under center once again.

Karenin takes the snap, hands it off to the full back up the middle.

He'll gain a few yards.

Looks like he has enough for the first down.

Likely number 20 Trent Piedola once again.

And

it is enough for the first down.

at the 10 yard line, so a first and goal coming up for the Bulldogs.

This game has lived up to its billing so far, an eight to six game, Lonson front, but the Bulldogs are knocking on the door, first and goal coming up.

The difference so far, a safety.

Then Karen and Tackle in the backfield on a third and 10, backed up after a full start penalty.

Karen and Undercenter here on this play.

Takes the snap.

Hands it off to Pietelo once again, and he's brought down in the backfield for a loss of a yard.

Second and goal coming up for the Bulldogs.

Fans here at Volunteer Field happy about that play.

Nice blow up play in the backfield.

Second and goal ball is at the 11 yard line.

Karen and under center receiver on each side Then we'll take the snap he's looking to pass pressure comes rolling out to his right Karen and looking for the end zone that ball is It's incomplete oh He caught the ball, but he had his feet out of bounds Third down an 11 coming up

And almost had some more magic from Max Nordstrom.

Not able to keep his feet inside the hashes.

And third and goal coming up with 5-24 to go on the second quarter.

Another timeout called.

And it is Lantz using their last timeout of the first half.

We'll take a quick 30 second break.

Third and goal coming up for the Bulldogs in 30 seconds right here on WMPL.

Welcome back everybody.

High school football game of the week here on WMPL with 524 to go in the second quarter.

Bulldogs are behind the launch.

Purple Hornets by a score of six to eight, but a third in goal coming up at the Purple Hornet 10 yard line.

Then Karen and he's found Max Nordstrom downfield for a couple of big plays, including a 55 yard touchdown on their first drive of the game.

and looking to find the end zone one more time here.

Bulldogs coaching staff and players all huddle up on the field, or on the sideline, excuse me, trying to keep warm and stay amped for their team.

It's going to be a cold night here in Lantz, expecting the temperature to get to a round freezing by the time this game wraps up.

Bulldogs head out back onto the field, then Karen is going to line up under center.

Full back and tail back behind to receive her on each side.

Karin it.

Takes a snap, looking to pass.

Looking left.

Touchdown to the end zone.

That ball is bobbled and complete.

Purple Hornet defense holds strong.

Looking for Nordstrom on the left hand side of the field this time.

He's not going to get there.

And a fourth and goal coming up for the Bulldogs.

We have not seen this team attempt to field goal, at least on our week two coverage against the West Irons County Wicons.

We'll see if anything has changed since then.

Bulldogs are going to call a timeout now.

Two timeouts left in the first half for them with 5-18 to go.

Those could get precious if they wind up getting the ball back after a quick drive by the Purple Hornets.

Fans here at Volunteer Field.

Rooting on the hometown Purple Hornets.

Fans have filled in nicely into the stands.

They had the Boo on the Bay event in downtown Lons earlier today.

Saw a lot of families walking around in costumes as I was driving into Lons.

A lot of those hometown fans have headed over to volunteer fields for some Friday night lights.

The final home game of the regular season for the Hornets.

They'll be taking on Calumet at Agassi Field next week to end their regular season.

Currently ranked 36th of, I believe, 60 teams in Division VIII.

Again, top 32 make the playoffs.

They need this win against the Bulldogs.

I formation for Ben Carranen and the Hancock offense.

Oh, excuse me, there's three backs in that backfield.

Whistle blows, Carranen under center, fourth and goal coming up.

Carranen takes the snap, takes the hand off, rolling out to his left, looking to pass, looking to the end zone, looking for Nordstrom, that ball is caught, can he get into the end zone?

He stretches his arm out.

And the officials are saying that he's short despite reaching for the plane of the goal.

Nordstrom stopped at the one yard line.

And it's going to be a turnover on downs.

Purple Hornets take over at the one.

Official was sitting at about the seven yard line.

Saw Nordstrom reach for the end zone.

Said he didn't have the distance.

I don't think there was a line judge at the goal line.

But they're closer than we are, folks.

I wasn't able to get a good read on it if you had crossed the plane of the goal.

And it's a turnover on downs.

They needed the end zone and stopped just a yard short.

Purple Hornet's gonna take over on their own end zone hash.

And the Bulldogs gonna look for a safety to match for the one they took earlier in this game.

Psycho's under center.

Will take the snap.

and a handoff up the middle is tackled and the Bulldogs signal they have a safety!

Yes they do!

And matching safeties in this game will tie the score and ate a piece.

Bulldogs gonna get the ball back.

Oh a fumble for a touchdown, excuse me.

We're

waiting for an exact signal from the officials.

I saw a safety signal earlier but I'm waiting to see.

I'm hearing

Whispers of a fumble recovered for a touchdown in the press box.

Still no change on the

scoreboard.

And that is a fumble return for a touchdown.

Can you get the player?

We're going to hope we can get the player for that play.

And a PAT coming up for the Bulldogs.

Two-point conversion coming up.

One official signal safety.

Apparently it was a touchdown.

6 to 12 right now looking to make it 14 I formation Karen and under center stepping back looking to pass to the end zone and that ball is gonna fall in complete 2-point conversion.

No good bulldogs will take an 8 to 12

lead

Chaos on the goal line Max Nordstrom catches the ball for a fourth in goal from the 11 Tries to reach across the goal line can't get it in it's a turnover on downs

First play from Scrimmage, a fumble in the backfield for the Purple Hornets were covered by a Hancock bulldog.

And the bulldogs get the points for a touchdown anyway.

Make the score 12-8 Hancock.

Apologies for the miscommunication there, folks.

Quite a bit going on.

Could have swore I saw a safety signal on the field.

Bulldogs jumped up in celebration, I assume, that they had gotten a sack in the end zone as well.

But apparently a bulldog was able to punch the ball out another fell on it and that's a touchdown To make it 12 to 8 First score the second quarter and a kickoff coming from the bulldogs Four minutes 59 to go in the first half

Levi Kinnon and gets ready to send this ball down field.

And another low kick.

Gets caught around the 20 yard line by one of the returnals in the backfield.

That's number zero.

Who will be brought down, picked up and thrown down.

Believe that was number 15.

Excuse me, number 18, Ted Kilpala.

Shuts down that return at about the launch 45 yard line.

It was Vinny Saretty who got the return.

And the Purple Horns will head back out with 4-51 to go in no timeouts.

And let's see what the quarterback Kale Psycho's can do now trailing by four.

First time, Lotz has been behind all game.

They scored a touchdown on their opening dry.

Both of these teams, the same record, three and four, same conference record at three and two.

The winner of this game will take third place in the Westpac Iron Division and keep their playoff hopes alive a little bit longer.

Psycho's.

Takes the snap, a flag in the backfield.

Play is stopped.

It's likely going to be a false start and that's exactly what it is going against the Purple Horn.

It's backed them up 5 yards, making first at 15.

And a bit of a tougher situation now for the Purple Horn.

It's backed up to their own 40 yard line looking to get to the Hancock 45 for a first down.

447 left on the clock in the first half Opening touchdowns on the first drive for both teams today after that a safety For the purple Hornets and then a fumble recovered in the end zone for a touchdown by the Hancock bulldogs about halfway through the second quarter Making it 12 to 8

A loss of a yard or so.

It was

Kempinen.

And we have a new player in at quarterback for the Purple Hornets.

Number six, Bryce Mackey has stepped in for Kale Psycho's.

Hoping he wasn't injured in the play where the ball was recovered in the end zone earlier.

Mackie and shotgun takes the snap four receivers out wide rolling out to his left Mackie looking to throw he throws it over the middle of field that ball is caught what a catch Reese right Reese light a lot excuse me with a crazy reception Okay, about ten yards on that play third and about six coming up Well place throw there by Bryce Mackie a little bit ahead of Reese Reese light a lot where only he could catch it

brought that ball in with one hand.

Fantastic catch for number two for the Purple Hornets and now with 3-38 and counting to play a third and five right at midfield.

False start pushed them back five yards on first down.

Mackie and Shotgun takes the snap, takes the handoff, rolls out to his right looking for his man and that ball is caught and...

Held on to by Lytola despite the heavy hit from number nine for the Bulldogs.

That was Isaac Wanala.

I thought that hit was for sure going to knock the ball out instead it moves the chains

First

in ten coming up for the Purple Hornets in Bulldog territory ball in between the 42 and 43 yard lines 313 and counting lots out of timeouts trailing by four

Bryce Mackie in shotgun.

Five receivers out wide.

Mackie takes the snap.

He's going to keep himself trying to roll to the left.

And he is shut down in the backfield and stifled.

Number 76 and 77 for the Bulldogs.

That's Trent Bodewin and Jasper Tolles combined for the sack.

It's going to be credited as a loss of

four where he stopped forward.

Progress second

down and 14 coming up.

240 to go.

Clock is still running.

Purple Hornets head back out.

Mackie in shotgun, running back to his left,

bobbled snap.

Mackie has it with

the ball.

It's behind the line.

Nobody on it yet.

Hancock recovers the ball.

It's number 76 for the Bulldogs.

That's Trent Bodoen.

He was in on the sack on the previous play with a flag.

We're going to see what the penalty is here.

It made me a false start for an offside excuse me It's a false start against the offense I Assume they're going to decline that penalty or is the play blown dead.

I didn't hear a whistle while the play was going

Yeah, false start will mean the play is dead after Mackie bobbles the snap.

It'll be a five-yard penalty on the Hornets instead of a turn open.

Bulldogs could not decline the penalty as the play was dead on the false start.

That's the third false start of the game so far for the Purple Hornets.

But there, it saved them a big turnover.

Now backed up into their own territory.

It's a second down and about 20.

Mackie and Shotgun.

Takes the snap, takes the handoff, rolls out to his right.

Mackie looking deep.

He'll throw it down the field.

Another

one-handed catch by Reese Lightala.

Will gain about 12 yards, but a 30 long still coming

up.

We're seeing two of those bulldog defensive linemen, Jasper Toulson, Shrent Vota would make a big play if the turnover reversed as the penalty on the play should have blown the play dead.

Again, I didn't hear a whistle while the play was going, but officials ruled so.

Third and six, Mackie.

Looking deep, looking over, and then a full-blown perception.

The player shoved to the ground After the place of extracurricular activity and no flag Oh, there is a flag Another penalty in the background perhaps this flag landed are about the 45 yard line Mikey Delich another incredible reception Shane crew was already moving and Another late penalty We'll see if it's

What could be an unsportsmanlike conductor if that was too late after the play, maybe an official didn't spot it.

I don't believe there was a

signal

for

the

penalty.

Apparently it was a holding call.

It's going to back the hornets up a few more yards again, folks.

Having a bit of trouble keeping up with all the developments that are going on mid-play here.

It's gonna be a third and 14 for the Hornets after the holding penalty.

It was a third and six.

Mackie takes the snap stepping back looking left.

Mackie rolls out of the pocket trying to escape pressure.

Mackie in trouble.

Boudouin gets him brought down.

A sack by the Bulldogs and fourth at about 20 coming

up.

Boudouin

got half a sack on first down.

Fell on a fumble that was ruled the dead play on second down.

And now on fourth down a sack to make, sorry, on third down, another sack to make it fourth in a mile.

Fourth down in 20.

Launts back on their own side of the field, ball at the 49 yard line.

Psycho is back in at quarterback.

And it looks like they're going to show a punt.

Purple Hornets with 45 seconds to go.

Just want to pin the Bulldogs deep.

Good snap.

Pressure comes

in.

Punt was

nearly blocked.

Ball is caught by the Bulldog returner who will be brought down at about the 35 yard line.

It's Heltonon on the return, just got a few yards up from where he caught that ball.

Pressure coming in from the Bulldogs, I believe that was Ben Carrigan who almost got a hand on it.

And the Bulldogs with 34 seconds left in the first half, two timeouts in their pockets are getting ready for one last chance in points.

They will also get the ball back to start the second half, leading 12-8 at the moment.

in chaos these past few minutes in volunteer field.

Karen and under center receiver to each side.

Karen will take the snap.

He's looking to throw to the right hand side of the field.

That ball is bobbled in complete.

Nordstrom couldn't hold on to it.

Second down and 10 coming up.

Block is stopped at 29 seconds to

play.

We'll see if Coach Leclerc decides to test for the end zone here.

Bulldogs go no huddle trying to get the Purple Hornets off guard.

And Karenin will hand the ball off to, I believe that's the fullback, Pietela, who will break out to the right-hand side.

It was actually number one, Redick Randall.

Helping in games 13 on the play for a Bulldog first down.

At least Randall was in on the play.

I thought he had the ball.

But Noah will be Helton and who gets the ball far enough upfield for a first down at the Bulldog 48 yard line.

Karenon takes the snap, hands it off, and that will be Helton and out of the backfield once again who stopped after a gain of about two.

Play is dead.

I believe a timeout call by the Bulldogs.

Seven seconds to go in the first half.

Second down and eight coming up.

One timeout left for the Bulldogs.

Seven seconds to go.

They can go for a quick completion to set themselves up for a Hail Mary.

We'll see how aggressive they want to be.

Ball is in between the Bulldog 49 and the midfield hash.

Bulldogs lead by four.

They'll get the ball to start the second half as well.

Bulldogs looking for their first win since week four.

Lawns their first win since week five.

Both teams in the playoff conversation.

The path is pretty rough for Hancock to get there, but they have to win out to even give themselves a chance.

Lawns with this win would significantly increase their chances.

They play the Calumet Copper Kings next week.

That's always a tough match at Agassi Field.

Here comes the Bulldog offense.

Second down and eight.

Karenin lines up under center, a receiver on each side.

Line gets set.

Karenin takes the snap, he pitches it out.

Throw deep, that ball is too high for Nordstrom incomplete.

It was a pitch out to number 28 Helton and who aired out now and fielded about five yards in front of where Max Bortz from wound up.

One second on the clock.

It's a third down and eight.

Down marker doesn't matter much anymore with one second left on the clock.

Got to go 50 yards to find the end

zone.

Bulldogs may just take a knee here, don't want to risk a pick six.

But we'll see what Coach Leclerc cooks up.

for this last play of the first half.

Karen and then Shotgun, three receivers out wide.

and they will try to air it out.

A wide open player over the middle of the field, that's Piedola, and he'll be brought down at about the 30 yard line.

Won't be able to find the end zone.

First half wraps up here at Volunteer Field.

Hancock

will be able to lead

the Lons Purple Hornets by a score of 12 to 8.

Blackhawk Bulldogs lead the hometown lawns.

Purple Hornets buy a score of 12-8 after 24 minutes of regulation play.

Quick scoring recap on the first drive of the game.

A big 50, or about 45 yard breakaway run.

Buy number zero for the Purple Hornets.

That's Vinny Serretti.

Set them up with a first intent.

The 12 yard line.

A touchdown punched in on a pitch play by number five.

Connor Kempinen gave the Purple Hornets a 6-0 lead after the first drive of the game.

Following up after that one Hancock quick to respond a 55-yard touchdown reception thrown by number 11 Ben Karenin to number seven Max Nordstrom down the right hand side of the field.

Two-point conversion was no good on that play as well.

Game was tied up at six points apiece.

After that near the end of the first quarter a safety on a sack by Ben Karenin after the bulldogs were held out of the end zone on fourth and goal.

Max Nordstrom tried to reach over the goal line to get the ball into the end zone.

It was ruled short.

Purple Hornets took over at their own one-yard line or Apologies, I'm getting my plays mixed up.

Sorry about that folks Bulldogs were stuck in the back deep in their own territory a false start penalty pushed them back near the end zone Karen and sacked for a seven-yard loss in the end zone resulting in a safety for the launch purple Hornets giving them an eight to six lead Then about halfway through the second quarter after a fourth and goal stopped the bulldogs from getting in the end zone

Then the launch purple Hornets took over on their own one-yard line ball was fumbled in the end zone and recovered by a bulldog defender for a touchdown Extra point try was no good therefore the score going into the halftime was 12 points to eight a lot of chaos in these last few minutes some holding calls Some whistles that I wasn't able to notice up here in the press box at least initially and a rather chaotic last

bit of the second quarter here at Volunteer Field.

But for the moment, the Bulldogs lead by four due to receive the second half kickoff after deferring after winning the coin toss.

We'll be back with this week in high school football coming up in just a moment right here on WMPL.

Folding a fitted sheet, programming the thermostat, matching your socks.

Why are simple things sometimes so complicated?

Thankfully, with an auto owner's insurance independent agent,

Getting the right coverage for your home doesn't have to be one of them.

So you can get back to more important things, like finding that missing sock.

That's simple human sense.

Do you have questions?

Ask the CHOP-KELIO agency in Lake Linden if auto owners make sense for you.

Welcome back, everybody.

It is time for this week in high school football brought to you by CHOP-KELIO Insurance.

Starting off first with the Westpac as usual, Iron Mountain is picking up a forfeit win that game originally scheduled for tomorrow.

West Iron County Wicons where their scheduled opponent the game will wind up not happening because the Wicons ended their season so Iron Mountain will improve to 6-2 off of the 4-5 win.

Manistique is 4-3.

They're heading to Barkover Harris to take on that 6-1 squad.

Barkover Harris coming off of a 44-14 win against the Hancock Bulldogs last week while Manistique won 34-27 at Gwynn.

Gwyn is 1-6, they're taking on 2-5 Ishpeming Westwood Patriots lost 8-15 against the Kingsford Flivers last week down in Kingsford and that sets up a marquee matchup of two 7-0 teams.

The Kingsford Flivers heading to Menominee to take on the Maroons.

Both of those squads 7-0 trying to lock up home field advantage throughout their respective division playoffs.

Menominee coming off a 38-28 win against Nagani.

Houghton is 2-5 after a win against Gladstone last week.

12-7.

We covered that one right here on WMPL.

A fantastic game.

Nagani is 4-3 and they'll be looking to stave off a hot Gremlins team in these last two weeks of the season.

Nagani sitting at 4-3 looking to win these last two games of the year to guarantee themselves a playoff spot.

Meanwhile, Calumet also sitting at 4-3 is heading down to Gladstone this week.

They're 1-6.

Calumet coming off of a tough loss 20-21 the final score of their game.

last week at Escanaba and now looking over to the Great Lakes 8 West Division we start with the undefeated Lake Lindenhovel Lakes who are heading to Bessemer to take on that squad.

Lakes won 42 to 38 and what I would consider to be the game of the year last week versus Crystal Falls Forest Park while Bessemer won 46 to 14 against Antonagin last week.

Ironwood is one in six.

They're heading to Crystal Falls to take on the Forest Park Trojans.

Ironwood lost 18 to 64 last week against an ischemic hematite squad looking to ensure themselves a playoff spot as well.

They currently sit at five and two.

They'll be taking on the four and three Norway Knights at Norway this week.

The Knights coming off with a 14 to 29 loss to the Powers North Central Jets.

The Jets, meanwhile, currently sit at five and two and they'll be heading

to Feltgenorth Dickinson High School to take on that foreign three team.

Feltgenorth Dickinson coming off of a 26 to 42 loss to Leona Waibono, Wisconsin High School, one of the Wisconsin opponents they've chosen to face over the course of this season.

Feltgenorth Dickinson now in a four team division in the Great Lakes Eight East.

So a lot of more off the book matchups, no

regular conference opponents for a lot of their weeks over the course of the season.

And finally, a matchup of two teams sitting at two and five on to Noggin heads to municing, municing coming off of a 54 to eight win against Eben Junction Superior Central High School last week.

Looking at the Michigan Tech Huskies football program to start their currently five and one ranked number 14 in the AFCA Division two coaches poll.

They'll be taking on Northern Michigan this week at Curly Stadium for the minors cup.

Looking

Sorry, Wildcats still looking for their first win this season.

Pre-game show will start at 11 o'clock, kick off at noon on mix 93 with Josh Elitello on the call.

Michigan Tech coming off of a 41 to 35 overtime thriller where they defeated Grand Valley State who was ranked number six last week.

I believe they've dropped to number 13 in the most recent poll.

So them and the Huskies right next to each other in that division two AFCA poll.

Northern Michigan coming off of a

a shutout loss, 30 to nothing at Davenport, who's currently ranked number nine in the country.

Davenport Panthers on fire this year.

I forget the name, but they're running back right now.

It alludes me, but I believe he's already cleared a thousand total rushing yards in just six weeks of play.

Michigan Tech hockey playing at the Mac right now, Wiggins, Alaska.

Tech Hockey 3-1.

That puck drop of that game started at 7-0-7.

Dirk Kembroff on the call.

They'll be flying tomorrow as well against the Nanooks.

5-30 pre-game, 6-0-7 face off.

Both games over on Mix 93.

Huskies coming off a split series against St.

Cloud State last week after sweeping the Golden Gophers in their opener here at the Mac.

So they are currently sitting at 3-1.

Alaska, after winning at Boston College, lost to Union College.

So they're currently sitting at 1-3 overall.

Next week, our high school football game of the week is likely to be the Copper Bowl.

Houghton will be heading over to Condon Field in Hancock.

Both of those teams looking for a win to end their season.

Both...

Technically have an edge case to get into the postseason still, both reliant on winning out.

Houghton needs to win at Nagani tonight, while the Bulldogs need to hold on and defeat the Purple Hornets to maintain any chance of making the MHSAA Division 5 playoffs.

They're currently ranked right next to each other, I believe number 50 and 51 in the Division 5 standings.

Additionally, next week we'll have Calumet taking on Lance up at Agassi Field.

Both of those games slated to start

On October 23rd, sorry, for a 7 o'clock kickoff, we'll have whichever game we elect to cover a 630 free game, 7 o'clock kickoff, right here on WMPL.

We're going to take one more quick break before Pepsi Trivia will be back in 30 seconds to give you the question, so stay tuned right here on WMPL.

You hear that?

That's the sound of Pepsi Zero Sugar, the better tasting, more refreshing Zero Sugar Cola.

Pepsi Zero Sugar.

Let your taste

decide.

So we're going to have a question tonight relating to the Hancock Bulldogs.

They last made their postseason appearance in 2020, where they lost 14 to 33 in the first round of the postseason.

What school defeated the Bulldogs in that game?

A pretty simple question for you.

What team did the Hancock Bulldogs face and lose to in the first round of the 2020 MHSAA postseason?

If you think you know the answer, call into 906-483-1330.

If you're correct, we'll announce your name on air and you can win a 12-

of Pepsi free to pick up in our WMPL studios over in Hancock.

Get those calls in hoping to have a trivia winner tonight and we'll get ready to head back into the second half of play in a few minutes time as the Purple Hornets look to come back and beat the Hancock Bulldogs.

Bulldogs won the toss selecting to defer.

They will receive the second half kickoff to begin the final 24 minutes of regulation.

Bulldogs retaking their sideline as we speak getting ready for this one a lot on the line for both of these teams Purple Hornets need this win to try to give themselves a postseason bid in the division eight playoffs Hancock as I mentioned earlier Needs to win outs to maintain any chance of qualifying for the division five postseason So we'll keep the numbers tracked for you We'll have a lot more information on exactly what needs to happen last next week as we get ready likely for the copper Bowl, but

A lot of numbers to crunch, especially two weeks out with 60 teams in each division.

There's a lot of different variable outcomes given the playoff point structure.

So we can't have a concrete view of what's going to happen quite yet, but we hope to have that for you relatively soon.

We're going to take one more break, second half coming up right here on WMPL.

Just...

quickly wrote the number over onto my new sheet for Pepsi Trivia and got a character wrong so please make sure 9064821330 is the number you call if you'd like to provide an answer to our Pepsi Cola of Houghton Trivia tonight.

Both teams now on the sidelines about two and a half minutes before we get ready to kick back off so they're gonna keep stretching and making sure they're staying okay out there in the cold quite a bit.

of the chill starting to creep in this week especially down here in Launce taking a look at the weather currently 37 degrees at volunteer field feels like 30 and in the next couple hours it's only going to get cooler expecting to bottom out around freezing at midnight if the forecast remains correct about two minutes to go until kickoff these teams have a lot on the line in this match

Bulldogs gonna try to hold on to their current four-point lead they lead 12 12 to 8 over the lawns purple Hornets Again the scoring so far

A touchdown for both teams on their opening drives.

A 55-yard touchdown pass to Max Nordstrom is what put the Bulldogs on the board to make it six to six.

Both teams missed their two-point tries.

Purple Hornets get a safety sacking.

Ben Karenin for a loss of about seven yards, making it eight to six.

They get the ball back, aren't able to do anything with it.

And the Bulldogs, when they get the ball back eventually, go for it on a fourth in gold or stop at the one-yard line.

Launce takes over.

Ball is fumbled in the end zone recovered by a bulldog and that's how we get to our current 12-8 score line.

So a pretty chaotic one so far and we'll see which team can hold on despite all of the various events going on over the course of this game and bring home their fourth win of the season to try to get back to 500 going into the final week of the regular season.

We're going to take one more 30 second pause, second half coming up right after that right here on WMPL.

Hey, this is Clayton from Sayon's Auto, and I have some exciting news for the Copper Country.

We are now offering Z-Barts exclusive ceramic paint coating that will protect your vehicle from bugs, dirt, and that infamous Copper Country road salt.

Your vehicle will wash up just like new all winter long.

Ask about our Diamond or Platinum packages.

Give us a call at 482-2179 or stop in to set up an appointment.

Sayon's Auto Z-Bart, your preventative maintenance protection center.

Welcome back everybody.

I do have a name for the Hancock bulldog who was able to recover the fumble in the end zone.

Number 54, the senior lineman Drew Larson was the bulldog who fell on the ball, getting the bulldogs back in front, making it a 12-8 ball game.

Due to the chaos of the moment, I wasn't able to declare that our Portage, Tire and Auto Repair turnover of the game, but retroactively, I think a fumble recovery for a touchdown warrants being our turnover of the game.

So thank you to Portage, Tire and Auto Repair for bringing us that sponsored segment as both teams continue to get ready here at Volunteer Field.

The various quarterbacks getting out there, stretching out, throwing the ball around to loosen back up for the Bulldogs just in case.

Ben Karen has played fantastic so far tonight.

We saw the Lantz-Purple Hornets quarterback, number one, Kale Psykos, leave the field for about one set of downs, number six, excuse me, the back-up quarterback, Bryce Mackey, took some time in his stead, played pretty well out there, but eventually Psykos able to get back in, believed he was the punter that sent the Purple Hornets ball down the field.

I don't believe we have an injury for Psykos, so just a quick change of pace after the fumble in the end zone, making sure he's all right.

But we'll keep an eye on that and we'll see if Bryce Mackey winds up taking any more reps under center for the Hornets in this game.

But Max Nordstrom so far for the Bulldogs has stood out two pretty incredible receptions I think he has three total receptions today But kept out of the end zone on that fourth and goal like we mentioned earlier still wound up being a touchdown for the Bulldogs in the long run off the fumble recovery But it would be a two touchdown day for Nordstrom if he'd been able to just get a few more inches on that ball and get it into the end zone Bulldogs already back out on the field ready to

Get the kick return.

There are two returners in the backfield for the Bulldogs.

His number is 26 and 28.

That's Levi Kendenen and Blake Hiltonen.

And the Purple Hornets huddling up on the sidelines.

A lot of coats for the players that are going to be staying on the bench.

Trying to stay warm and ready if they need to hit the field on short notice.

And at least for the moment, Kale Psycho's is back out on the field.

So hope it's it appears that he's okay We'll see if he winds up taking more snaps at quarterback once the purple Hornets get back out on the field on offense The kicker number 15 miles Van Elstein ready to send this ball down the field for the Hornets Bulldogs returners are ready Kickoff time are still ticking down, but I think we're about ready to begin the second half here So once we're ready to go

We will be able to see which team is able to come out on top here in Lantz.

Again, for those of you just joining us, Hancock Bulldogs lead 12-8 over the Lantz Purple Hornets.

They're about to get the ball to start the second half.

Third quarter of today's game is brought to you by Saiyans Auto Sales and Zebarth.

Both teams were on the field, ready to get going a bit earlier than that.

But now...

The Purple Hornets getting ready to send this ball off to the Bulldogs.

The Alecine will place the ball on the kicking T's ready, checks both sides of his line, looks like they're ready.

Bulldogs bunch up near midfield, getting ready for a kick return.

The ball will bounce down to Levi Kinnonen who takes the ball and he's trying to cut back upfield.

Jukes out of the fender, breaks free!

Levi Kinnonen has room down the sideline and he'll stay on his feet and get forced out of bounds finally at about the 41 yard line of Lotz.

A big return there for Levi Kinnonen.

Nice work there by number 26.

Haven't seen him get many carries out of the backfield today.

He's in the huddle for the Bulldogs to begin this first down.

And he's forced out of bounds.

Excuse me, the 38 yard line, a massive return for number 26.

Then Karenon under center.

Kinnonen in the backfield with Blake Hiltonen.

Karenon takes the snap, hands it off to Kinnonen.

He'll go up the middle and he's quickly met at the line and brought down number 74.

For the Purple Hornets, that's Caleb Smith in on the tackle.

It'll be a run for no game, second and ten coming up.

Purple Hornets, defense looking to hold strong here, not great field position for them.

Bulldogs able to get the ball firmly into launch territory on the kick return.

Kinnanen lines up under center once again.

Two backs in the backfield.

And a handoff to Hiltonan, who was in at full back.

He tries to get to the outside.

He will be met and brought down.

Number 62, who was not on my roster actually for the Purple

Hornets.

We'll get the stop, a loss of a yard there, and third down, 11 coming up.

And Cock Bulldogs need some magic here on third and long.

Lots Purple Hornets.

Nice defensive stand so far.

Able to stop the ball around the line of scrimmage on two running plays up the middle.

Karenin lines up under center once again.

Two receivers on the right hand side.

Karenin takes the snap.

He's looking to pass.

Looking to his right now back over the middle of the field.

He looks for Max Nordstrom.

That ball is out of reach and complete.

Nordstrom broke free of the defensive back.

Karen and tried to catch him in stride a little bit too far out front.

North from Divesford falls incomplete and with 10-23 to go in the third quarter.

Bulldogs have a tough situation in front of them on fourth down and 11.

Again, they are in Lantz territory.

Punting not likely to net them much.

And for the moment it looks like the offense will head back out.

Karen and under center, two backs in the backfield, a receiver on each side.

Karenin takes the snap looking to throw over the middle of the field that ball is caught number 44 That's Tyler Yaney who gets open and finds more than enough for the first down nice play there by the bull box It'll be a completion for about 18 yards when it's all said and done The the sophomore tight end Listen to the fifth quarter player on my roster making a nice play there his first touch of the game

Karenin under center first and ten ball is at the 25 takes the snap hands it off To help it in the backfield.

He'll gain about four yards before being brought down Or excuse me cannon and out of the backfield numbers 26 and 28 Look quite similar on the back of the jersey for both these Hancock running backs out of the backfield Second down and five coming up for the Bulldogs

Lots cheerleaders trying to keep warm.

Karen and under center takes the snap.

It's a pitch play to Kinnanen.

Kinnanen out to the left-hand side of AIDS Attackler.

He'll be brought down near the line of scrimmage.

May have gained a couple of yards before being brought down.

A third and short coming up for the Bulldogs.

Now inside the Purple Hornet Red Zone.

And it'll be a run for no game.

So a third and five coming up at the 20 yard line.

Then Karen and gonna line up under center once again It's Kinnon and Hilton in in the backfield a receiver out on each side Karen in Takes the snap he's looking to throw looking to the right hand side of the field that ball is tapped and Incomplete looking for Nordstrom.

I believe number one Kale psychos got a hand on it fourth and five coming up And another tough situation here Tyler Yanny came up big for the Bulldogs

On the previous fourth down on this drive now a much shorter distance to go Looking to get to the 15 for a first down Karen and under center takes the snap rolls out to his right looking to throw then Karen and runs up the middle He's gonna keep it himself Karen and has the first down and more Karen is to the right hand side of the field cuts back in touchdown Bulldogs a 20-yard rushing touchdown and the Bulldogs extend their lead

Make it 18 to 8 the current score pending a two-point try by the Bulldogs Haven't seen Karen and run the ball much so far in this game I think only a third or fourth carry total and They're able to break free followed his blockers.

Well slowed down assess the field in front of him and A nice play there on fourth and five

What could have been a turnover on downs?

Turns into a touchdown.

Two point try.

Three players in the backfield behind Karenon on this play.

Karenon takes the snap and the ball is bobbled and it's going to fall on the ground.

I think Karenon gets on top of it.

It doesn't matter.

Two point try is no good.

832 to go on the third quarter.

Bulldogs now lead by 10, 18 to 8.

Purple Hornets due to get the ball back and we'll see what they do with it in 30 seconds right here on WNBL.

That's Vinnie Serati and a Big hit there as the ball is going to be down around the 28 yard line a nice return by Seretti Eight minutes 24 seconds to go

as the Purple Hornets retake the field.

Purple Hornets trail by 10.

Need to find some points here.

Neither team very active when it comes to kicking field goals, so you're going to need to see some touchdowns out of this launch squat.

Kale psychos.

Looks like he's back in at quarterback from where I'm sitting has a back on each side of them and a receiver out to the right He'll take the snap and hand it off.

That's the running back number five Connor Kempinen who will cut up field and gain a few yards before being brought down Gain of three second down and seven coming up for the purple Hornets It is like goes back in at quarterback just took a quick break for launch on the drive after the fumble in the end zone

Balls at the 33 yard line for Lance right now looking to get to the 40 for a first.

Still in their own territory.

Psycho's under center.

Two receivers to his right, he'll take the snap and hand it off to the full back.

I believe that's number zero Serretti.

And he stopped near the line of scrimmage, third and about six coming up.

It was Serretti.

And he'll be credited with a gain of maybe half a yard, third and long coming up.

Seven minutes 22 to go in the third quarter of play.

Clock continues to run after the run up the middle.

Purple Hornets trail by 10.

Psycho's lines up in shotgun for this play.

They're running back number five, kemp it into his left, two receivers out on the far left side of the field.

Fakes the handoff.

Psycho's looking down field, throws it up for number two, and another big catch, Reese Lightelaugh, with a reception of about 14 yards.

Looks like he held onto that ball, and that'll move the chain to the Purple Hornets.

The ball will be spotted at the 47-yard line after the nice play.

And a few hero ball receptions from these launch wide receivers of the course of the game.

We've seen a nice catch by Reese Lytola.

I think Connor Kempendon had a pretty impressive reception earlier.

Mikey Delliches had a couple as well.

One of them was brought back due to a holding call.

And now Psycho's under center.

A receiver out to his left two backs behind him.

He'll take the snap and hand it off to Kempendon.

Kempendon has some room up feel.

He's finally brought down but has the first down maybe more.

late on the play.

Bulldogs signal they have the ball.

Will they say Kempinen was down?

Purple Hornets are signaling just that.

Still no ruling from the officials.

Bulldogs are insisting they have the ball and they do.

A late fumble on the play.

Connor Kempinen had gained quite a bit of yardage up field.

And there's a flag on the play.

Again, another late flag.

And it's going to be an unsportsmanlike conduct call.

And it's called against lots.

Wow.

Some extracurricular activity going on on the sidelines.

And Coach Mike Griffin wants to go talk to the crew chief on this one.

Again, up in the press box, we don't get a number.

We don't get...

a mic line for the officials, unfortunately, so we don't know exactly why this is being assessed.

We'll try to get more information on that for you as the game progresses, but for now, we're gonna have to say first down bulldogs after a fumble.

Connor Kempinen.

Drops the ball after getting more than enough yards for the first down, but the Bulldogs head back out.

Now on the Lance 45 yard line after the unsportsmanlike conduct call.

Karen takes the snap, hands it off to Helton and out of the backfield.

He'll use a burst of speed in at fullback.

He'll gain about 12 first down Bulldogs.

And now well into Lance territory.

Ball is going to be spotted between the 32 and 33 yard line.

Nice gain there.

Eye formation back out there, it's still, it's still Kinnan and Heltanen as the tailback and fullback respect, respect, excuse me, respectfully.

Karran and Bubbles the ball, he falls on it in the backfield, a loss of a yard there going to be assessed.

But not a turnover, a lot of players in the backfield having trouble wrangling in the ball from the snap so far in this game.

Make it second down at 11.

Ball is now spotted at the 33 yard line.

It is getting cold here in Lantz.

Players having trouble keeping control of the ball as it starts to solidify in the late evening chill.

Karen and under center once again.

A receiver on each side, two backs in the backfield.

Karranen takes the snap, hands it off to Heltanen, oh fakes the handoff, pitches it to Levi Kinnanen, out on the left hand side, Kinnanen cuts back up field, still evading tacklers, finally brought down after a gain of about seven, third and about four yards coming up for the Bulldogs.

Very convincing fake handoff to the fullback Heltanen, right at the middle, he was met by a defender, but Ben Karranen held the ball himself, pitched it out to Levi Kinnanen, no defender on him in the backfield.

and a nice job of working upfield evading a couple of tacklers.

Couldn't find a true lane to break free, but gets the yards that make this play a third and manageable now for the Bulldogs.

Same formation.

Karenin lines up under center.

Then Karenin takes the snap, gives the handoff to Helton and this time he's met at the line of scrimmage and brought it out.

In on the tackle, I believe that's number 74 for the Purple Hornets.

Caleb Smith, listed as a tackle on both sides of the ball for me.

And it's a fourth down and a long three yards to go.

Bulldogs looking to get to the 24 yard line for a first down.

Under center once again takes the snap looking to throw looks the left hand side that ball is caught complete And it's enough for the first down.

He found number 10 Connor Hellman in I believe It's number 18.

Excuse me Ted Kilpala Off on the far side of the field gains about eight yards enough for the first down And that ball will be spotted about the 17 yard line for the upcoming first and 10

Under four minutes to play in the third quarter, Bulldogs up 10, trying to make it more.

Karenin lines up under center once again, same formation as the past few plays.

Takes the snap, hands it off to Kinnanen in the backfield and he's met behind the line and brought down.

A heavy hit there by number 55.

That's Blake Messer.

We're going to call that our collision of the game brought to you by your collision specialist in Barriga County, Mayo Collision.

Second down a loss of two yards on first.

Karen and under center.

It's the exact same formation looking to throw this time rolls out to his right escaping pressure.

Karen and on the run throws the ball deep over the head of Alex or Max Nordstrom.

Excuse me.

That's going to fall in complete third and 12 coming up.

Bulldogs trying to get creative out of the same formation.

We've seen a few plays like that But here Ben Karen and under a ton of pressure flushed out to his right had to throw on the run Couldn't find Nordstrom in the end zone Kept it well out of the way of any Purple Hornet defenders though wanted to avoid the interception by any means possible Third down and 12 coming up ball at the Bulldog 18 yard line excuse me the Purple Hornet 18 yard line

Looking to get to the six for a first and goal.

Karenon under center.

Takes the snap.

He'll roll to his left this time to throw.

Pocket collapses.

Finds Heltinon on a screen.

Heltinon cuts up field stays on his feet inside the 10.

And he's finally brought down.

Has more than enough for the first down.

First and goal coming up for the Hancock Bulldogs.

and Blake Helton it finds room on the wide receiver screen Karen and wanted to roll out to his left pocket collapsed right off the gate had to turn around find his bailout screen Helton and cuts right across the middle of the field finds a clean path for a gain of about 14 yards first and goal at the four coming up same formation Karen and under center

He'll take the snap hands it off and bulldog signal touchdown to the officials agree into the touchdown And it is the fullback on the play I believe it's number 28 Blake Hilton in who cashes that into the end zone 2-point try coming up

Bulldogs head back out there a two-point try almost certainly coming up now lead the launch purple Hornets 24 to 8 a 16-point deficit Here comes the two-point try but neither team has completed one yet Karen and under center three backs in the backfield takes the snap

He'll fake the handoff looking for the end zone on the throw and wide open in the end zone.

That ball is caught and that's number 44.

That's Tyler Yany once again.

And the lead becomes 18 points.

Make it 26 to 8.

Bulldogs in front getting ready to send the ball back to Lance.

We'll be back in 30 seconds to see what they do with it right here on WMPL.

Welcome back, everybody.

Two minutes and 26 seconds to go in the third quarter of our high school football game of the week here on WMPL, Hancock Bulldogs.

Firmly in front of the Lontz Purple Hornets here at Volunteer Field to score 26-8 as the Bulldogs get ready to kick this ball back off.

Levi Kinnanen, the kickoff specialist for Hancock, ready to send this ball down the field.

Another low kick spinning in the air, caught successfully by one of the returners in the backfield for Lontz.

And that's zero.

That's Vinny Soredi.

who will be brought down, not after crossing midfield, bald now in Hancock territory for this next drive by Lantz.

About a 30-yard return for Soretty.

We'll see what the ball is spotted.

And it will be at about the 45-yard line on the Hancock side of the field.

2-19 to go in the third quarter of play.

Still no answer for our Pepsi trivia question.

Call into 906482-1330 if you think you know the answer.

It's the team the Hancock Bulldogs lost to in the first round of the playoffs in the 2020 season.

The last time the Bulldogs made a postseason appearance.

Bulldogs trying to make that happen once again this season.

It's a long shot bid.

They need to win out to buy themselves a chance.

Kale psychos fakes the handoff eventually gives it to the running back.

That's number five Connor Kempinen and He'll be met around the line of scrimmage.

No gain.

Oh, excuse me Vinnie Seretti able to get the carry there And it will be a gain of about a yard and a half after he reaches the bottom of the pile Two minutes to play clock still running here in the third quarter Purple Hornets a three possession deficit.

They have to recover from now 18 points the margin between these two teams

A back on each side of Psycho's in the backfield.

Takes the snap, no hand off looking to throw.

Psycho's letting the pocket develop and that ball is nearly picked off.

Number 12, that's Gavin Larson, the junior running back and linebacker who got a hand on it, couldn't wrangle the ball in.

But nice work on the defensive side.

Bulldogs able to get out of that pass play with no damage done.

Third down and a long eight coming up for the Purple Hornets with a minute 37 to go in the third.

Hornets head back to the line Two receivers to the left-hand side for psychos or a back on each side of them in the backfield as well In shotgun takes the snap Trying to pass and he'll throw it to the left-hand side of the field that ball is caught by number five That's Connor Kempinen who breaks a tackle and he'll be brought down at about the 15 yard line a big breakaway play for the running back out of the backfield

And the defensive backfield has been softening their coverage on some of these backs down the field for the Purple Hornets.

We've seen a few big receptions down field.

Psycho's finding open men a lot of the time in these pass plays.

Pressure was coming.

Front 7 did their job, but they need to play tighter to the receivers, especially with 10 yards or less the distance between them and the line of scrimmage.

A minute 28 to go in the third.

Kempinen tackled out of bounds.

The ball is spotted at the 16-yard line.

Psycho's takes the snap, rolling out, fakes the pitch, he'll keep it himself.

Kale Psycho's at the middle, has room, and he'll be brought down at about the 2-yard line, first in goal coming up for the Hornets.

Exactly what the doctor ordered on this drive trailing by AT.

Lance knows how big this game is.

Purple Hornets need this one.

If they're able to win this game and next week at Calumet, they're almost guaranteed to make the playoffs in Division 8.

Winning this game or the Calumet game alone may punch their ticket.

Psycho Undercenter takes the snap, hands it off to the full back up the middle, and that will be a touchdown for the Purple Hornets.

Vinnie Serretti punches it in from a yard out.

Two-point try coming up from the Purple Hornets almost certainly.

Current score sits at 14-26.

A two-point try here successful would make it a ten-point game.

Neither team is elected to go for a one-point PAT yet, all two-point conversion attempts.

Psycho's in shotgun, so ready to his right, the running back campin' behind both in the backfield.

Fakes the handoff to both backs, looking to the end zone on a pass, and that ball is caught, is it inbound?

It is!

What a catch there!

And that's number 13, Mikey Delich finding another reception today for a two-point try.

And that will make the score 16-26, a 10-point game here in Lantz.

53 seconds to go in the third quarter.

Bulldogs due to get the ball back.

Two possession lead, about 12 minutes, 50 to go in regulation.

We haven't seen an on-site attempt from either of these teams yet.

You've got to wonder if one may be in the books here from Coach Mike Griffin.

By no means a necessity, but if you think you need extra possessions, you may want to try to catch them off guard with more time on the clock.

Miles Van Elstein getting ready to send this ball back to the bull box.

Purple Horn is able to find the in-zone quickly, about a three-minute drive there to cut the lead to 10.

Bulldogs' returners are back.

Hancock up here is to be wise to a potential on-side here.

Han's team has 10 players near midfield.

They want to shore up their bets in case this is an on-side kick.

And it is an on-side try.

fallen on and recovered by the Hancock Bulldogs.

Number 54 for Hancock.

That was Drew Larson, the player who recovered the fumble on the end zone earlier, who was able to fall on that one and make sure the Bulldogs get their possession as is due.

And they will start with the ball on the Lantz 47 yard line.

First in 10 coming up, Bulldogs will start out there on the Lotz 48 yard line.

52 seconds to go in the third quarter with play.

Then Karenin lines up under center.

One receiver out to each side, the full back Heltinen, the running back Kinninen behind him.

Karenin takes the snap and he'll hand it off to Heltinen up the middle.

He'll gain two or three yards, but he's stopped by the defensive line of the Purple Hornets.

Seems like the rushing attack is largely settled in for the Bulldogs so far Haven't seen a breakaway play in a little bit and Karen in on a quarterback keeper on fourth down It wasn't intended to be a pass play, but he winds up scrambling out of the pocket cashed in from 20 yards out on the running play That's what got the Bulldogs their most recent score And now the Bulldogs like to pile on one more

Last play of the third quarter coming up.

Karen takes the snap.

He's a quarterback keeper right at the middle.

He'll gain about five before being brought down.

Purple Hornets caught a bit off guard, able to pick up five or so free yards.

Third and short coming up, but that will be the end of the third quarter.

We're going to take a one minute pause and be right back to see what happens on third and short for the Bulldogs.

Currently they lead 26 to 16.

We'll be back in one minute, fourth quarter coming up right here on WMPL.

Coach Brennan Leclerc trying to get this team its first win since week four.

They rattle off back to back to back wins in weeks two through four.

Kept out of the win column since.

Then Karenin takes the snap, fakes the handoff.

Karenin under pressure, throws over the middle of the field and that ball is incomplete.

Looking for number 14, that's Crue Casario.

Another fifth quarter player getting a couple reps in.

Tyler Yany also not a full varsity member.

but had two pretty crucial receptions for the Bulldogs on a previous drive.

Apologies, we had a number change.

That's Pierce Johnson out there wearing number 44 instead of Tyler Yaney.

Karenon takes the snap, he's been in the backfield of 8th Attackler, shakes another off, but finally brought down a pile of Purple Hornets defenders.

Able to sneak through the offensive line, a loss of a few yards on second down, third and long coming up.

Bulldogs may be in trouble on offense here.

It'll be a third down and 12 coming up.

Ball is on the Lantz 31 yard or the 34 yard line of Lantz.

Excuse me Looking to get to the 21 for a first down Karen and under center Hilton and then kidding in behind a receiver out to each side Karen in Line gets said he takes the snap looking to throw Karen and pressure comes rolls out to his right Karen in swarmed by defenders.

He's brought down sacked once again

Another big play by the Purple Hornets defense.

It's number 52, that's Ty Lottie.

And it'll be a fourth down in about 18 yards to go.

10 minutes to go in the quarter.

Bulldogs, given the field position, I think are going to have to go for this one anyway.

Not much to gain from punting.

We'll see if coach Leclerc disagrees, but for now the offense stays out on the field Same formation Karen and under center Then Karen and takes the snap steps back in the pocket flushed out once again Karen and deep at his own backfield still being chased around throws it up tries to find number 20 That's Piedola in the flats falls incomplete in the pressure coming in and collapsing the pocket on three straight plays

for the Purple Hornets, and they're gonna force a turnover on downs.

Nine minutes, 31 to go.

Lontz trails by 10, but they just got the ball back.

A big fourth down stop for the Lontz Purple Hornets, keeping themselves in this game.

Lontz will take over.

Ball is at the 36 yard line on their side of the field.

Looking to go 64 yards.

Psycho's in a quarterback in.

Shotgun takes the snap.

Looking to throw.

Looking deep.

And that ball is overthrown.

His target number two, Reese Lightela.

He's had a few great catches today.

That one, he didn't have a chance.

Second and 10 coming up.

Clock is stopped at 9.25 after the incompletion.

Bulldog defense needs to stay strong here.

Get the ball back in the offense's hands.

At this point, killing clock quickly becoming a priority.

Psycho's alone in the backfield for the moment.

Two receivers out on each side.

And they're gonna bring a new football in from the sidelines.

Given the cold air, maybe that ball inflated the too low of PSI as the temperature continues to drop.

Play resumes, second and ten coming up.

Psycho's still alone in the backfield, now it'll be Saretty motioning to the backfield behind him.

Psycho's takes the snap, pressure comes, and Psycho's is gonna go down!

Sacked in the backfield, number 76, Trent Botawin with a big tackle for loss there, a third and a mile coming up.

A loss of at least 12 yards.

Wow, a big play.

We'll wait to see the official distance here once the ball is spotted.

But with under nine minutes to play, it's going to be third and a mile coming up for the Purple Hornets.

Ball is at about the 27 yard line.

Looking to get to the 47, so it's going to be a third down and 20, maybe 21 coming up.

Four receivers out wide, three on the right-hand side for Kale Sykos.

A lone-in shotgun takes the snap.

He's rolling out to his right, trying to signal a receiver up field, and that ball is caught in stride!

And just like that, folks, it's a one-score game in lots.

The deficit four points Two-point try coming up for the purple Hornets Psycho's in shotgun takes the snap he's swarmed in the backfield brought down two-point try is no good the lead remains four

Welcome back everybody high school football game of the week here on WMPL.

Hancock Bulldogs had a three possession lead just a few short minutes ago.

It's now a four-point game 26-22 Hancock the current score here at volunteer field taking on the launch Purple Hornets both of these teams need this win looking to keep their playoff hopes alive Bulldogs know they have to win out to give themselves a chance Purple Hornets

either need to win this one or at Calumet next week to keep themselves in the conversation.

Miles Vanelstein gets ready to kick the ball away and it will be another low kick but skyed to the backfield.

Both returners too far off to recover the ball.

It's picked up at the 10 yard line by Levi Kinnanen who's brought down with a 17.

Bulldog defenders a little or returners excuse me a little too far upfield.

They were not ready for a booming kick.

It was low, but had a lot of power behind it from number 15 van Elstein for the purple Hornets and now not great field position, but Given they have the lead If they can chew clock and find the end zone on this drive that would be the best case scenario Same formation as usual Ben Karen and under center

He'll take the snap he's looking to throw on first down looking to air it out and that ball is gonna fall in complete He was looking for number 18 down the field Looking for Ted Kilpala A defender well placed about five yards up field from them.

He couldn't break free and get to that ball overthrown by Karen and second and ten coming up

Coach Brendan Leclerc tried to air it out, catch the Purple Hornets off guard on first down.

8-0-9 to go in regulation.

Karenin lines up under center, same formation as the past few plays.

Karenin takes the snap, and he'll hand it off.

He pitches it over to Levi Kinnon, and Kinnon has room.

One defender to beat, Levi Kinnon, burst of speed down the field.

Nobody gonna catch him.

There's a flag behind the play.

Believe I can it and find the end zone.

I think this is going to come back on a holding call.

We'll see what the penalty is.

It's an 82 yard touchdown.

This is against lots, but it's going to be against Hancock.

It's a holding call going against the offense.

Purple Hornets fans elated.

The fans in the stands here at Volunteer Field trying to root on their team.

They know the importance of this game.

And instead of a touchdown, Hancock now backed up about 10 yards behind their line of scrimmage for a second down and long.

7.54 to go.

That wouldn't have been the dagger by any means, but it would have made the math quite difficult for Lance if that had gone for a touchdown.

Offense heads back out.

It's a second down and about 15 yards after the holding call.

Karenin lines up under center, same formation.

Karenin takes the snap, looking to pass.

Looks to the right-hand side, Chuckie a deep-down field.

Nordstrom had his man, beat, ball was overthrown, incomplete.

Third down and 15 coming up.

Call it third and 16.

747 to play.

Bulldogs lead by four.

But may need to pump the ball back to the Purple Hornets if they can't find the first down marker here Ball is currently on the 12 or 13 yard line on the Hancock side of the field.

They need to get to the 29 for a first down They're gonna swap the football once again.

It's getting quite cold out there a timeout called by I believe the Bulldogs

Timeout called by lots excuse me a bit of a surprise there Team is trailing about halfway through the fourth quarter Those timeouts beginning to come out of premium need to stop the clock whenever necessary But coach Griffin wants to make sure he has his defense right for a crucial third and 17

Fans here at volunteer field rooting on their team Lots of fans standing on the track want to get as close to the action as they possibly can I can't blame them.

It's been a fantastic game so far Purple Hornets were trailing the largest deficit of the game for them Was 26 to 8 it's now 26 22 Ben Karen and under center third and 17

Karenon takes the snap, rolls out to his left hand side, looking to pass.

Karenon down the field.

That ball is overthrown to the sideline.

Incomplete.

Fourth down coming.

7.39 to go in the game.

And you've got to think in this situation the bulldog is going to have to punt.

A big punt coming here, cannot allow a good return.

The punter is going to be number 7, Max Nordstrom.

Snap is good.

Kick is low, he shanked the punt.

Ball is going to take a nice bounce for the Bulldogs, but still goes out of balance with a 30 yard line.

A big misstep by Hancock.

Purple horn is taking over in fantastic field position.

Desperate situation evolving now for Hancock.

Hornets, if they could find the in-zone, they're taking the lead.

A four-point game.

I don't think that was an intentional decision by any means for Max Nordstrom.

I mean, it's a very cold ball.

It may have been a bit sturdier than he expected when he tried to get his foot on it.

But I think the ball scraped off the front of his foot, only gonna be a net punt for about 19 yards.

Psycho's under center.

Purple Hornets back on offense.

Takes the snap.

It's a pitch play to Kempinen.

He's brought down in the backfield.

Max Nordstrom making up for the miss cue on the punt.

A loss of six yards on the play.

Psycho's tried to pitch it out to Kempinen.

Max Nordstrom all over it.

A big loss of yards there.

Ball backed up now all the way to the 37 yard line.

Psycho's going to be in shotgun, almost certainly going to pass on this play.

Kale Psycho takes the snap, looking to his right, rolls out to his right.

Psycho's following the play.

Pierce Johnson tried to push him down.

Psycho's going to grab the ball, keep it himself and run up field.

He'll gain a few yards before being forced out of bounds and now he's a player down.

One of the bulldogs taking a second to get up on the hand on the lot sideline.

Excuse me That's Trent bow to one who's gonna limp back to the Hancock sidelines.

I Wouldn't think he's gonna play on that It'll be a game of about ten on the run for psychos

And I think number 76 Trent Bowdoin is going to stay out there through it.

Took a moment to get up.

Trying to take it easy on that right leg.

Third down and seven.

Ball is at the Bulldog 27 yard line.

Need to get to the red zone for a first down.

Psycho is alone in the backfield.

Five wide.

Three to his right.

And now Saredi will motion to the backfield.

Psykos keeps himself up the middle.

He's going to be met and brought down.

He'll be short of the first down, but it'll be a fourth and about two coming up.

A gain of five yards up the middle for Kale Psykos.

He heads back to the sideline.

Coach Mike Griffin gives him the play.

A do or die fourth and two.

Still possible to get back in this game if they can't find the first down, but you need to put a lot of trust in your defense Bulldogs have been stifled on the offensive side for the past couple of drives, but they've gotten so hot so quickly in earlier times in this game.

You cannot Guarantee that's going to happen once again

Psycho's had something in his face mask by the looks of it.

They're going to take a timeout.

And it will be a timeout called by Launs once again.

Only one timeout left for them with 5.51 to go.

While both teams head to the sidelines to discuss this fourth down, we're going to take a 30 second break.

Folks, I know we had some blowout games earlier this season, but the past three games we've covered in the past two weeks, the Gladstone at Houghton game, the Forest Park at Lake Lindenhubble, and now this game at Lantz, we have gotten some good ones.

Psycho's lines up in Shotgun.

Two backs in the backfield, Serenity and Kempinen.

Psycho takes the snap, hands it off to Saretty, he goes up the middle, he's met at the line of scrimmage and brought down, third and about five coming up, four and a half minutes to go.

If Lantz cannot find the end zone on this drive, they're going to be dealing with about three minutes on the clock and one time out to their name.

At that point Hancock just needs to play for first downs.

Four minutes fifteen to go in regulation.

It was 26-8 at the start of the fourth quarter.

Psycho's in shotgun.

Quick injury update brought to you by Saras and Dental.

For the moment, I am not seeing number 76 Trent Boudouin on the field.

He may be one of the Bulldogs wearing coats on the sidelines trying to keep warm.

Looks like he tried to play through some kind of injury to his right leg earlier, but for the moment, I do not see him on this goal line stand.

Third and one.

Psycho's in shotgun takes the snap hands it off the cabinet.

He's brought down in the backfield fourth and goal coming up May have been a loss of a yard on that play we'll wait to see the official spot By the time this ball is snapped will be under two minutes to play in regulation

Touchdown lots.

Hornets retake the lead.

A long deliberation.

Two returners in the backfield.

It's Ted Kilpala and the returner on the far side of the field I believe is Levi Kinnanen.

Miles Van Elstein gets ready to kick the ball away for the Hornets.

It's likely the last time he'll kick the ball off this game.

Both teams ready.

Van Elstein gonna squib kick it up the middle.

That ball is recovered.

By Piedola.

Piedola cuts up field.

Piedola shakes free.

He'll get down to about the 45 yard line on the Hancock side.

I'm not entirely sure of the player.

It could be number 44, Pierce Johnson.

Thank

you.

Pierce Johnson down on the sidelines.

He stands up on his own.

We're gonna hope he's okay, but I wouldn't expect to see him out there for the last little bit of this game Made a massive catch earlier No touchdown but saved them on a fourth down and I believe 14 around midfield that drive eventually resulted in a touchdown

34 to 26.

Purple Hornets bring it home, improving to four and four.

Postgame show today brought to you by Kiwala overhead door.

And we'll start first with our scoring recap in the first quarter.

first drive of the game.

A 12 yard touchdown run by number five for Launce.

That's Connor Kempinen who caches in making it 6-0.

On the very next drive a 55 yard touchdown passed to Max Nordstrom to give the Bulldogs a six to six tie.

Afterwards a safety forced by the Purple Hornets.

Ben Karenensack in his own end zone makes it eight to six.

Bulldogs eventually can't get the ball into the end zone for a touchdown on fourth and goal.

Launce takes over on their own one.

And a fumble in the end zone is recovered by number 54, Drew Larson to give the Bulldogs a 12-8 lead.

They carry that lead into the halftime break.

In the third quarter, a 20-yard touchdown run by Ben Karenin makes it 18-8.

And then, number 28 for the Bulldogs, Blake Helton breaks off a 4-yard touchdown run.

to make it 26 to 8 along with a Pierce Johnson 2-point conversion that gives them the 2-point conversion to make it 26 points to 8 heading into the fourth quarter.

In the fourth quarter, three touchdowns by Vinny Soretty.

Two 1-yard fullback dives, one of which had a 2-point conversion catch by Mikey Delich attached.

A 76-yard passing touchdown

From quarterback kill, Psycho's to number five, Connor Kempinen.

He directed traffic to get Kempinen to go upfield, threw the ball perfectly to him in stride.

And Kempinen was able to follow blockers all the way to the end zone.

And then a 58 yard pick six by Vinny Soretty.

Was the finishing touch, giving lots, the eight point lead they held into the end of the game.

Final play of the game.

Bulldogs were looking to go for a Hail Mary got stopped by a delay of game penalty clock was running out of the whistle Bulldogs didn't realize it in time and they couldn't get their playoff and that winds up being your final score 34 26 Purple Hornets improved to four and four while the Bulldogs dropped to three and five Pivotal play of the game.

I Mean the pick six is sitting right there

And I think I've got to take it.

I mean, Vinny Saretty, a fantastic play on that pick six.

Bulldogs offense had the ball around midfield.

And Ben Karen tried to catch the Hornets off guard with a quick snap.

They couldn't get down the field fast enough in time.

And Karenin gives up the interception, Saredi takes it to the house, and that winds up resulting in your final score.

Before the break we had our pivotal play of the game brought to you by Copper Country Ford and now it's time for our Martin Custom and Collision unsung hero of the game.

Today, I'm going to go with Purple Hornet's lineman number 77 Joe Paquette.

He had a massive sack on one of the drives that his head cock tried to get their last second touchdown to give themselves the lead once again.

Paquette was able to get in the backfield and sack quarterback Ben Karenin, a large reason he felt so under pressure on those last couple of drives, had to make a couple of

ill-advised throws, and eventually one of those throws resulted in a pick six.

He played line on both sides today, listed as a center and defensive tackle on my roster, so also a big reason why the Hornets offense was able to hum so successfully all day long.

We have all but one of our segments done.

Ever.

Try and decide.

Welcome back everybody.

It's time for our Coca-Cola of Hancock Player of the Game as we wrap up our post game show for our high school football game of the week here on WMPL.

It was a pretty difficult conversation for what player for launch would be by Player of the Game through three quarters of play if the Purple Hornets managed to come back and win this one.

It is no longer a conversation.

Number zero, the fullback and linebacker Vinny Soretty had a fantastic fourth quarter.

Three touchdowns to his name, two on fullback dives, one on a 58 yard, excuse me, pick six that secured the Purple Hornets the game as the Hancock Bulldogs were rolling downfield looking to find the end zone to take the lead in the final minute of play.

Soretty, an incredible game.

Other players on the Purple Hornets worth shouting out.

Reese Leitele had two incredible receptions.

Mikey Delich had some really clutch receptions as well.

The quarterback, Kale Sikos, played a fantastic game overall.

But Soretty was the difference today for the Purple Hornets, and he deserves his flowers, an incredible game.

Win or lose tonight, the Riverdale Chieftains are hosting Potosi-Casville.

Here is their coach, Jeff Johnson.

Potosi is just the opposite of Ira Grant.

Ira Grant is going to throw the ball most of the night.

Potosi is going to smash you in the mouth.

Traditional wing tee, a lot of power, a lot of trap.

And every once in a while, they'll throw in a bubble pass or a wiggle pass.

But they're pretty strong up front and pretty hard running game.

Do you see a lot of wing tee, Jeff?

No.

You don't see hardly any wing tee anymore.

Everything is sometimes a flex bone or read option or RPO.

And the old, the old school, three yards in the cloud of dust is kind of going away and I kind of miss it a little bit.

With this game, do you feel like you need to win to have playoff consideration?

No, we're in the playoffs.

Right now we need to win just for seeding benefits.

We have a fairly decent seed right now, but a win this week could really bump us up in the rankings.

Is there a chance you could have a home game?

Yes, but it's really small chance.

It depends on who else ahead of us loses that.

So we would be relying on other people, but we're anticipating probably traveling somewhere, but we don't know where yet.

Is the team pretty fired up about the chance to make the playoffs?

Yeah, I think so.

Our older kids, especially, you know, the seniors, they know that it's coming down to an end.

The nice thing is in other years, you know, sometimes you know that week night is your last last game if you're not in the playoffs.

Well,

We're in a situation we don't know what our last game is going to be.

It's kind of a good feeling.

It's a good unknown that it could be next week, it could be two weeks, three weeks, four weeks.

So as long as we keep doing our stuff, we can keep pushing that last game aside.

Yeah, overall it was a pretty hard fought game.

I have to give the Royal team a heck of a lot of credit because they didn't quit.

They kept coming at us.

As you get down to the last regular season game here, could you say a little bit about your seniors and your leaders this year, Kyle?

Yeah, they've really stepped up with everything.

You know, they've done a phenomenal job of leading the team, like I said, especially in the first year co-op and then everything else.

They've done a phenomenal job.

You have Weston's homecoming at Weston.

And what kind of a game do you expect on Friday night?

I said they're much improved than what they have been years past.

They for sure are good.

throw the ball quite a bit still.

In the Southwest Conference tonight, Prairie Duchenne is at Lancaster and River Valley is at Broadhead, Judah.

I spoke with River Valley coach Tyler McClain following his team's loss to Richland Center last Friday night.

I think, again, overall, it was really nice to see our guys fight.

This has been a fight and group the entire year.

It was kind of the first week we really saw a lot of that fight, kind of have a little more level of the execution.

We came really close.

You know, there's really no moral victories and stuff like that, but still a lot of stuff that were a lot of positives and stuff that I was proud of for our guys.

Anything you might as a differently in the game, looking back on it?

I mean, obviously, I think towards the end there, I think faking that ball towards the end, I would have rather seen us just keep trying to attack and get downfield there.

You know, I think Senator did a nice job of sticking to their guns and really controlling their run game on offense as well, too.

So potentially trying to really cycle that a little bit more.

Um, I think no matter what, win, loss, or tie, there's always a reflection you got to take in as a coach and as a staff.

Um, so there's definitely some things I'd like to correct for us as well.

Well, you've got a chance this week to correct those with the game against, uh, Broadhead Judo.

What do you know about them, Coach?

Um, again, they're kind of in a similar boat as us.

Uh, they're still kind of fighting for that first win for themselves.

Um, you know, a lot of seniors are going to be playing their last games here, so I think it could be a very emotional game.

Um, we're going to get their best punch or their best look because they know it's the week that they can go get

And kind of on our side, too, that's the same feeling that we have as well.

We kind of had a good show on last week.

Just came up a little bit short.

So I'm expecting the same level of execution for us this week as well.

Yeah, indeed.

And getting it done would mean a lot for the program, wouldn't

it?

Yeah, it would mean a lot for the program.

And I think it would mean a lot to these seniors.

You know, it's not always easy to show up on those days when you're not necessarily getting the results.

that you want each and every week.

Um, but it's a life lesson that I think these kids are learning.

Uh, it's something that helped they carry on, um, for the rest of their life.

And then obviously as the football side of things, getting them a win here, um, as they walk out as seniors, it'd be nice for them to go out on

Valley coach Tyler McClain, his team at Broadhead Judah tonight, both teams looking for their first wins of the year.

Coach Andy Troxel joins us.

Coach, a nice win last Friday over Riverdale.

You guys kind of persevered in that game, didn't you?

We did.

We did against River Valley.

It was a, it was a back and forth battle.

You know, I mean, we took the opening kickoff and put right down in the red zone and we thought, all right, we're going to go ahead and we're going to punch this in, you know, and coach Maxwell's defense was stout.

I mean, they had a very good game plan against us.

And so they denied us twice, you know, so it took a little bit of adjustments here and there.

to go ahead and find something that probably work uh... moving between the the twenties i thought we were fairly solid no but we had a little more creative once again to the red zone

and winning by an extra point as well uh... you your your kicker's been pretty consistent for you

he has he has been actually uh... my my snapper is a sophomore and my holder in my kicker both freshman you know so for those underclassmen to step in

You know, with a lot of pressure on the line and have a great snap, great hold, and then a wonderful finish.

I mean, that speaks volumes for just their resiliency, right?

And just their ability to kind of stay cool and calm, you know, when high stakes moments like that.

So, um, super happy for all three of them.

You know, it's great, great to have, uh, Blaine, Beinborn kick that and, uh, come out and get us a win.

How about some other guys that, uh, stood out on the stat sheet, Andy?

Yeah.

Yeah.

So offensively.

We had, uh, 352 yards total offense.

I mean, Bronson had a career day.

You know, so he had three or 136 on the ground and two touchdowns.

You know, that kid got within the 10 yard line or five yard line and he wasn't going to be denied.

So that was awesome for him to have a career day through the air.

Avery went 11 for 15, 152 yards.

That's pretty close to career day for him.

You know, and then Jaden Schep had just shy of a hundred yards for receiving.

So.

Um, he made some very, very big plays.

We were kind of backed up in, in a tough situation and got us out of it.

So, uh, it was nice to see that offensively.

Those guys really kind of carry us.

Oh, well, I know I love one sack.

So I think they did a pretty darn good job too.

And then the other side of the ball, I mean, Kaisen switched over.

Holy smokes.

Kid had five tackles.

Four of those were TFLs, you know, and then he was there with three assisted tackles.

So he continued to put together a nice,

We can having a dominant performance.

And then ultimately, you know, at that last play of the game, they took a shot for the go ahead and score in the win and and Bronson sniffed that thing out and came down with it with the game winning interception.

So it was just nice to see those boys compete.

They were definitely ready for this one.

What about the scouting report on Dodgeville?

They've had a pretty nice year, haven't

they?

They have, they have, they have been a program

that has been trending upward.

And I think that's what you're going to see out of them over the next few years is they're doing a good job.

They're really kind of finding their identity, especially offensively.

You know, they're a wing T and they like to run the ball.

And so we know that we have to stop that.

And so our three five is built to stop the run.

So I think that matchup is going to be good.

I think that that defense is probably going to cause them more fits because they just haven't seen anything like that.

yet this season.

So it's going to be a quick game, right?

Because they're going to continue to run.

They're going to use all four downs.

Rarely do they punt.

And so it's four yards, three yards, it's six yards.

It's a big play, right?

And that's just kind of how they do it.

So right now they're tied for third in the SWC.

A win from us would put us in a three-way tie for third with Dodgel and Lancaster.

But they're also fighting for a playoff for two, you know, they're on the outside looking in right now.

And so getting this one ended up four and five for them would be huge.

So we anticipate they're going to come, you know, looking to get this W right and keep that rolling into the postseason as well.

I presume you've seen the tape of them and Lancaster.

How did they roll that many points against the heroes?

Yeah, yeah, we did, you know, because the first question we saw the score was holy smokes, what, what in the world happened, you know, but when you watch the film,

That is probably the ugliest Lancaster film I've ever seen.

That was a day where nobody could get their footing.

There were lots of turnovers that is just very non-typical of a Lancaster team.

And so they had some turnovers on down.

They had some interceptions and just some ball security issues.

They gave the Dodger the ball deep within their territory.

So Dodger capitalized on it.

So I think that's kind of why you saw the score.

Like it was, it's just Lancaster couldn't get into a rhythm like, like we have seen really all season.

When you look at the Hornets, you got to worry about what you do.

And that same thing kind of applies to you.

You got to hold onto the ball and probably keep it on the ground quite a bit, don't you?

Yeah.

Yep.

Yep.

And we're a run first team, you know, and we've got some, some stuff up our sleeve that we haven't showed on film all year, you know, that we want to break out for this game in particular, but for sure we, we absolutely know that we are going to move the.

the rock where we're going to try to make sure the chains are moving in the right direction and punch one in.

So we've had their number the last few years, you know, and we've been receiving it at that with other teams that, I mean, they're tired of it, you know, and they want to make sure that they come out of it and give us a fight too.

So, but yeah, ball security, time possession, those are going to be two big things that the winner of this game is going to have to win.

Well, then if you win, you're looking at seeing if you make it.

pass the bubble, you know, and then kind of go from there, Andy.

Yeah, it's going to be really tight to be honest with you.

You know, I saw the week eight predictions that came out and I think we're sitting at 41 right now, the top 32 make it, you know, now certainly a win over dodgeville will help, you know, but with the new point system, um, you know, you get points for not only the teams that you beat, but you get points for the teams that they beat, you know, and having three winless teams on our, our schedule this year that we beat.

you know, that's that actually hurts us, you know, and so you're going to see, you know, a team that's four and five, you know, not make it as opposed to a team that's two and six that will, you know, just because of the point total.

So all we can control is what happens on Friday, you know, and take care of business and get out there with the win and really, really hope for the best, you know, because who knows statewide how things are going to shuffle out, who wins, who loses, how their opponents do.

So I mean, it's going to be tight, but we're definitely

hopeful that we're a bubble team that squeaks in.

Awesome.

Sounds good.

Good luck as you get ready for Dodgeville Friday, coach.

All right.

Thanks Phil.

I appreciate your time.

From the Vitus Repfield, hello everybody.

Welcome to tonight's broadcast, Richland Center and at Dodgeville, sparing off here during week number nine of the high school football season.

For the Hornets coming in with a couple of wins in a row looking at the possibility of getting the victory here tonight and getting it done in front of the hometown fans, a homecoming crowd that has been assembling, maybe not as big as some normal homecoming nights because of how cold the weather is.

And it probably isn't that cold, it's just that it's such a shock to the system from what we've had all season long.

And the wins at times quite strong as well, making it feel a little bit cooler and a lot more seasonal, that's for sure.

The Stashville team we've talked about on this year, they've had some success going three and five coming into the game.

They do have conference wins, three conference wins that could help them plead their case.

in terms of a playoff win tonight or if a win tonight they could possibly be looking at that and maybe in a little bit better shape than the Hornets if they were able to do that.

But Dodgeville's wins have been against Lancaster, Broadhead, Judah and River Valley and losses to Platteville and Prairie Eugene.

It is senior night here at the Richland Center high school field and it's going to be a nice time to honor them.

Back there announcing them one by one as the starting lineups are normally introduced at this time.

Dodgeville choosing to be introduced as a team.

We'll have more about the game coming up in a moment after this one minute time up.

We do have a score from halftime on the filmy flip phone sponsored by Marcy's Strikeout Alzheimer's.

If I go west and leading 47-nothing at halftime over Neceda tonight in western's homecoming game so the continuous clock will be running in the second half in that game going on this evening.

Stamps for Richland Center, Avery McGlynn, the senior with 668 passing yards, rushing yards, Bronson Perkins, 607 coming into the game and Jaden Schep, 250 yards receiving and that is of course without some games that he missed this year after the appendicitis that he had and went through the operation and back in the line up a couple of weeks ago and they have certainly welcomed him back.

Tonight's starting lineup sponsored by L&M Salvage.

Catch the vibe among the starters on offense for the Hornets.

Hope you enjoy it tonight.

It is a night feeling like football here.

Coach Avidus Rip would have approved of a night like this from Avidus Rip field.

Here we go.

There's the approach by the Dodgers, and an end over end kick all the way to the right side.

Gonna bounce and then roll out of bounds.

right around the 20-yard line, so it comes back to the 35, and that's where RC will take over at its own 35-yard line.

Van striking it up in the background and always sounding good.

Jeff Behrens and company putting on an impressive pregame, and they'll be back for the halftime tonight as well.

Here comes the play from the sideline, and the Hornets convene.

Again, starting point will be the 35-yard line.

So the Hornets in the huddle, Doddsville in the white, and the black lettering, and the Hornets in the black with orange lettering.

A couple of questions in the huddle from the officials there, must have been asking about the captain there, and they do indeed take it to the 35 yard line.

So,

there

we go, Baru up to snap the ball, and the Hornets with the ball on the far hash mark.

Jaden Shepp coming all the way to the near side, stadium side, wide side of the field.

And McGlynn will operate out of the shotgun.

Awaiting the snap from center here on first down.

There it is.

And hands off to the running back who crashes to the left side.

Didn't get much, maybe to the 35 yard line.

Tackle made there.

Bronson Perkins on the carry and for Dodgeville number 52 on the tackle.

That was Carter Schultz.

Second down, 10 yards to go for the Horns.

That breeze blown across the field, although it is let up somewhat.

People that are sitting in front of the booth tonight are blocked by the wind, so that was some smart seating.

Probably don't cost as much as the World Theory seats at the Brewers games, but yeah, they got here early.

Second down in 10, the Glen will operate with a man on

Farsight coming in motion.

Here's a running play off right tackle and scrambling for a couple of yards is the running back.

Good coverage by the Dodgeville defense.

Bringing down the ball carrier again.

Bronson Perkins.

55 on the stop.

Tony butters a senior for Dodgeville.

That brings up third down and we'll say about seven yards to go.

Ball is going to be needing to beat to around the 45 yard line, which will center zone.

for a first down.

Homecoming, 2026.

It was a nice parade today.

Despite the wind, when the wind wasn't blowing, the sun was out and it felt pretty good, but otherwise a little bit of a shock to the system as well.

Here we go, third and seven for the Hornets.

McGlynn will operate out of the shotgun awaiting the snap.

There's a man in motion and rolling to the near side.

He's McGlynn a little stream flipped to the near side caught by Shep.

40, 45 first down 50 across individual territory of the 44 yard line.

Well played.

McGlynn with a little flip to Jaden Shep and he did the rest.

A little catch and run and the Hornets move the chain here on their first possession.

So here we go.

Dodgeville Jackson jabs on the stop.

He's another senior for coach Matt Staver.

First down in 10 for the Hornets in Dodgeville territory.

A couple of minutes into the ball game on the way here in the first quarter of action.

The Hornet line is up.

They are set all the way across.

Everyone in tight.

Three men in the backfield.

McGlynn under center this time.

Hands off running play stumbling a little bit, but then shooting down to the 41 yard line is Bronson Perkins Perkins the leading ball carrier and getting a lot of the the calls here so far on the night and Dodgeville making a stop Lake Stepdola and Finley Olson on the stop second down and six yards to go for the Hornets from the Dodgeville 41 yard line They will break

committee and then head to the ball.

Schwitsenberg goes out wide to the far side.

On the near side it is Schep coming out and also Stibbe and there's a snap from center awaiting a snap and then the running play up, but got Tate Perkins going, running down to the 25, down to the 23 of Dodgeville.

Good job by the junior Tate Perkins who barrels his way for a first down, another

Hornets first down and the ball at the 24 yard line of Dodgeville.

So the Hornets running downhill now as they continue this drive.

Not a lot of time in the huddle and the Hornets up to the football.

From the Dodgeville, 23 yard line.

Awaiting the snap from center will be McGlennie backs up.

He'll take it off of the shotgun.

Back now flips it out to Bronson Perkins trying to make the corner.

He gets to the 25, to the 20.

He's free down to the 15.

Looks like the ball might have come loose at the last moment.

And it goes to the out of bounds line.

I believe it was recovered by the Hornets.

So a big gainer, that's another first down.

Guys in Schwestenburg with the carry or with the recovery, I believe.

Jabs with the tackle and the Hornets have the ball.

right around

the

10 yard

line.

It'll be first and goal from the 10 yard line.

This drive continues for Richland Center and the Hornets Now Break Committee.

Opening possession that started at their own 35 yard line.

One man wide to the near side, that is Chef.

Man coverage for Dodgeville.

First in 10, first in goal from the 10.

There's a whistle as the play starts.

and flags fly, fall, start on the Hornets.

So that will back it up five yards.

Good to see some old friends and alumni here tonight at the homecoming game.

Looks like our old buddy Eric Pearson is here tonight, one-time WRCO employee and star of the small screen in commercials over the years.

Ball is marked back at the 15 yard line.

First and goal from the 15 for the Hornets.

Looking it over now and the Glenn will take it from under center.

Hand off with the second and through and that is going to be Perkins breaking his way down to the five downtown the goal line and he is close and he is in for a score.

Ronson Perkins tripping downtown and the Hornets score first here in the ball game.

That comes at 720.

So a 15-yard run for Bronson Perkins.

And after he got through, it looked like he had a little trouble with his footing, but stayed upright.

And the Hornets will talk about the extra point, but not long.

The holder is Ryder Wilson, and the kicker is Blaine Beinborn.

Freshman's special team sensation, snap is good, kick is on the way, and the kick is blocked.

No good.

6-0 in favor of the Hornets.

Here in the opening quarter, 7-20 remaining.

And now a look at the Hornet defense along the line.

Kate and England and Holden Grob are the tackles along with Leif Morris and

Jaden Callum at the nose tackle linebackers tape Perkins and Blake Muller along with Caden Stibby and Kaizen Switzenberg the cornerbacks are AJ clone and Owen Muller and the safeties are Bronson Perkins and Jaden Schapp here is Dodgeville with a running attempt not much happening there as they're able to maybe get ahead for a yard and that's going to do it around the 45 yard line so not much of a game Hornets

Right on top of things there.

Able to make the play.

Hingman and company helping out on the stop.

Second down and nine yards to go for the Dodgeville Dodgers.

Ball between the hash marks.

The Dodgers line is set one man wide to the right side.

Running playoff left tackle he bounces for a couple more yards.

Finley Olson is ahead.

Finley only a freshman.

and a big part of this Dodgeville team this year.

Kaizen-Swissimer brings him down, it'll bring Ferg down and five yards to go for the Dodgers, already nearing midfield from the 48 yard line, their own.

619 remaining in the opening quarter, six, nothing.

Richland Center here in homecoming football.

Dodgeville with the backfield split one man wide to the near side there is this nap running play going to the far side It's going to be Sawyer Miller and he's got a first down in original center territory Rolls his way down.

There's a flag as the tackle is made at the original center 40 yard line So they will unpile And we'll see what the flag is about Deacon highs on the stop

And we'll see if the first down stands.

Dodgeville executing that rather well.

And we'll wait and see.

The officials chocolate over and it's going to be personal foul face mask against the hearts.

So that will add a little bit more to the end of that play for Dodgeville.

Six minutes remaining in the opening quarter of.

High school football tonight led by the Horns 6 nothing from the raised do it best center sports desk tonight built by raise do it best.

Building a good repertoire into the ninth week of the season.

Potosi Castle leading Riverdale 7 nothing in the first quarter.

There's the snap from center.

Dodgeville keeps it on the ground running playoff left tackle.

He got a good gain on that one.

Six yard gain down to the 21 yard line of Richland Center.

Dodgeville trying to respond.

to that early score by the Hornets, the 15 yard run by Bronson Perkins.

Second down play for the Dodgers, ball closer to the stadium side on the hash mark.

Quarterback under center, someone jumped for the Hornets and then got back, but I believe there's going to be a penalty flag and they may have been drawn off.

Maybe not.

Looks like it's going to be against the Hornets, another five yard penalty, which should bring up a first down.

for

the

Dodgeville.

So the Hornets going in the wrong direction giving up 20 yards and in penalties here during this Dodgeville drive.

Lancaster leading Prairie-Duchine, is that right?

Well, Lancaster a team that this team, Dodgeville beat quite handily last week.

They're leading Prairie who was one of the top teams in the league 14-7.

That is in the first quarter.

Carter McGraw with a really good pass there, and...

The extra point try will be coming up now for the Dodgers.

They've chosen to do that over on Bronson Perkins side and the flag flies and the ball will come back to the 35 yard line on the kick out of bounds.

McGraw with a touchdown pass to Jabs and a two-pointer that failed.

We are even at six here at the ball game, three fifty-four remaining in the opening quarter of the area of football.

Richland Center Utilities.

Scott Gall was giving out a stress.

Toilet really was a little little well toilet that you squeeze I guess When you're stressed out

So

I got that going for me Ball is marked at the 35 yard line Ornates now with their second session each team has had a possession that has resulted in a touchdown here in the opening quarter Richland Center will operate out of the shotgun Avery McGlynn with a man in motion and

the heading

to the far side of Stibby handoff going

toward the right side, not much.

Dodgeville is covering it up and a loss of yardage for the Hornets back around of the 31 yard line.

Bronson Perkins nowhere to go and met by some of the Dodgeville brethren.

Number 54 was Briggs Hudson and then number 34, Finley Olson.

Second down and 12 yards to go for the Hornets.

Ball marked around the 33 yard line.

Next week of this time will be in playoff football.

The WIE pairings come out tomorrow.

We'll try to break that down a little bit with Travis Wilson of Bowen, Wisconsin coming up at halftime.

Second down in 12 yards to go awaiting the snap.

Avery McGlynn and he fakes to the handoff now throwing over the left side.

He's going to be caught by Tate Perkins.

He turns up field to the 40 to the 41 yard line.

Driven out of bounds by Blake Stadola.

So the Hornets got the initial yard is lost back and then some brings up third down at about four yards to go.

Ball marked short of the 42 yard line of Richland Center.

That play wound up out of bounds.

So it stops the clock.

301 remaining here in the opening quarter.

River Ridge and Blackhawk one tied at six in the first quarter.

There's the snap from center McGlynn with a handoff running play and the running back is stopped short of the line of scrimmage Dodgeville covers it.

Well that was Bronson Perkins again.

It brings up fourth down And about five to go Griffin Bush coming up through the middle and making the stop for the Dodgers So the Hornets on fourth down McGlynn and Shep hustling back into the huddle and

I would presume Richland Center is thinking about going forward on fourth down.

Clock running, 225 remaining in the opening quarter of football.

Owners up to the football, two men wide to the right, one wide left.

Avery McGlynn in the backfield along with Bronson Perkins.

And now Perkins abandons him as Avery all alone.

Now throws it, it's low behind the line, the scrimmage caught.

But trapped there, no good on the pass play to intended there for Bronson Perkins and the Hornets will turn it over on downs.

So they had the play set up, the pass a little under thrown and that will be Dodgeville getting the ball back and this is a pretty good field shape for them.

Second possession they take over in Richland Center territory.

That'll be at the 42 of Richland Center for the second possession.

of the ball game tonight.

Godfrey wasting no time.

They're up to the football.

Looking it over is the quarterback McGraw now under center.

There's this nap.

Handoff running play cutting right now.

Cutting back across the field.

35 down to the 33 yard line.

Nearly 10 yards on the running play by Finley Olson and they'll unfile.

That's going to bring up.

Let's see do they get a first that they did that'll be a first down and 10 for the Dodgers Inside the Richland Center 35 yard line at the 31 a minute 44 remaining in the opening quarter of football tied at 6 Dodgeville with the ball trying to take advantage of a short field There's the snap handoff that's also and again cuts back on the counter across the 20

Not quite, I guess the 25 to the 24 yard line and Olson will get up a little slowly after a tackle.

Bronson Perkins on the stop.

Getting up slowly, Finley Olson.

Stops the clock for the minute 21 remaining in the opening quarter.

That means a tie-in out.

Tie-in out for injury.

Dodgeville with the running play out of the timeout.

They're going to be close to a first down.

I believe that was Jordan B on the run for Dodgeville.

Let's see as they

unpile

and Callen down to stop.

Yeah, Elliott Jordan B at junior would get his first carry on that one.

That is a first down for the Dodgers at the Richland Center 20 yard line.

So Richland Center going the other way there, after going for that fourth down conversion and coming up short, Dodgeville running downfield.

Now they've got a first down at the Richland Center, 20 yard line under a minute remaining in the quarter.

Here is the running play going to the right side, off rock tackle, spinning a little bit.

You show your Miller and he might be close to another first down.

Got inside the 15 to around the 11 yard

line.

So the stop is made by the Hornet defensive secondary, Will Weiss.

Mr. Homecoming King makes the tackle for the Richland Center Hornets down to 29 seconds here in the corner.

Dodgeville driving toward the north end, so one man wide to the right side for the quarterback, McGraw.

And the handoff, allowing playoff left tackle now, squirting ahead is Griffin Bush.

Got inside the 10 to the 5 yard line and he continues

to run well when given the ball.

The senior Griffin Busch stopped by Caden Stibby and first down and goal for the Dodgers now and that'll be the final play of the opening quarter 6-6 ball game.

A good one here.

We knew it would be at Richland Center High School.

Ithaca Weston looking good to get on and maybe even get a number one seed.

We would hope, but we'll see.

We'll find it all out tomorrow.

So we're resuming now with action for old 12 on the clock and Dodgeville with its ball inside the 15 yard line to around the 10 at first and goal, right?

And here comes the running play.

It's going to be not much going there for the running back who is going to be brought down by the Horns.

That was running back Finley

Olson.

Jackal is made by

England.

Help on that one as well.

Don Trill taking the ball at the Richland Center 42 yard line and they've been moving on down the line now trying to get in second down and goal to go.

Awaiting the snap from center is McGraw.

McGraw with a handoff right stacked up at the left tackle spot and not much going as the Hornets take him back.

So the Hornet defense is standing stout.

The ball carrier was Griffin Busch and Kaising-Switzenberg.

Coming underneath to make a tackle.

Coach Troxel really impressed and pleased with the way Kaisen's been playing on defense at a really stout game last

week

for the Hornet defense.

Third down goal to go for the Dodgeville Dodgers driving toward the south end zone here in the early part of the second quarter.

McGraw under center, whistles sound, turn on taken by Dodgeville.

We'll

be back in 30 seconds with more from RCHS Homecoming, which might be the latest that I've ever remembered.

Cuba City upsets 10th rate at mineral point, 27-20 at mineral point.

on senior night tonight.

It's a big win for Cuba City.

Third down, here we go.

Side six, 1046 remaining in the second quarter.

Dodgeville the ball, third and goal, running back, Bush going left side down around the goal line and he's got a score for the Dodgers.

Griffin Bush streaking in and Dodgeville takes the lead.

12-6 the score and they'll talk about the extra point possibility again.

They like to go for two the first time they were stopped, so they will try to add an eighth spot and make it a 14-6 ballgame.

Dodgeville will be in the huddle.

Ball is marked inside the five, of course, for the extra point spot.

The line is set.

Quarterback under center.

There's the snap.

He's back to throw.

Hornets coming after him.

Throw to the back of the end zone and it is nearly grabbed but incomplete.

Tended for Stadola.

Good pressure up front by the Hornet line.

There was a flag on

the play, it

looks like.

Got a few penalties tonight in this one.

So they will decipher.

Jethro Bodine and the Beverly Hillbillies, he was a cipher.

They'll figure out what's going on.

Good pressure up the middle from Holden-Grabb, the left tackle for the Hornet defensive line.

He got right on the quarterback's nose there, and maybe throw it a little bit sooner.

Penalty is against the Hornets.

So that will mean half the distance to the goal line, and Dodgeville will try again.

to put themselves up by eight points in the game.

Dodgeville up to the ball.

Quarterback operates out of the shotgun.

He turns now runs in the quarterback option nowhere to go.

Great play by the Hornet defense, bringing him down there and incomplete on the play.

The Hornet's tackler getting up a little slowly.

That was nicely done.

for 52 for the Hawks, that would be Leif Morse.

And Jaden Callen in there as well.

So that will do it for this drive for Dodgeville.

They wound up with a 12-6 lead, 10-41 remaining before halftime.

Dodgeville will kick off and this one again rolls out of bounds.

Dodgeville making a habit of that so the Hornets will get it at their own 35 yard line for the third possession of the evening.

Trailing now to the tune of 12 to 6.

Stay tuned for our Dairyland Transportation High School Sports Update at halftime tonight.

We'll be giving you an update on some other sports for the Hornets doing well getting into WIAA tournament play.

Coming up just this next week already.

Ornates first and 10 at their own 35 yard line.

McGlynn will take the snap from under center.

There it is.

Any pitches, the running play coming to the near side and Bronson Perkins trying to break the corner nowhere to go and driven back from the 34 and brought down.

So Bronson Perkins stopped by a host of Dodgeville tacklers.

Sam Rupp is back there and several others for the Dodgers.

So they'll mark it very kind only one yard loss there for the Hornets ball marked around the 34 yard line.

Royal leading Brookwood ate nothing that's in the first quarter.

Scenic Buffs Conference is very even this year other than Ithaca Weston which has been getting some big wins.

And they're on the way to another one tonight.

Second down on 11 for the Hornets awaiting a snap is Avery McGlynn and Someone flinched I believe on the right side of that line for Richland Center Five-yard penalty will back it off Back to the 29 yard

line

Second down and 15 yards to go for the Hornets Good crowd on hand throughout

They did have the alumni reception tonight.

They did not have an outstanding alumni actually recognized this year.

Plans are to do several next year, but they did have a reception nonetheless in the West Commons.

There's a snap to the Glenn out of the shotgun now trying to run through after the pocket breaks down, got out to the 30 down at the 32 yard line.

So he got back a couple of yards on the penalty and Avery will get up a little slowly.

Brought down by Tony Butterson, Finley Olson, third down and 12 yards to go for the Hornets.

Ball marked at the 33 yard line, their own.

Dodgeville leading here, 12 to 6.

Black Hawk Warren up on River Ridge, 13-6, that's him in the first quarter.

Lancaster up on Prairie-Duchine 21-7.

That's in the second quarter.

That's an interesting score.

Prairie and the Platteville could be the only teams from the Southwest Conference to make the playoffs, but Lancaster with a win would certainly help that cause.

Back to throw as McGlenn again turns in not much doing gonna run himself 35-40 and he is breaking out to the 48 and he dropped the ball and it rolls out of bounds, I believe.

It'll be a first down for the Hornets ball rolled out fortunately for Richland Center Connor Burke sophomore on the play The ball boy bringing a new ball out I salute one of the Hornets super managers that would be

G4, is it five?

George Laubyre.

He helped carry my stuff up tonight.

Very nice young man.

Nice of him to do that.

Help the poor old guy out.

He's in charge on the sidelines tonight.

Keeping that ball dry.

First down, here's the snap from Senator McGlynn.

Hands off, running play left side.

Bronson Perkins brought down right around the line of scrimmage.

Good open field tackle by 52.

Connor

Burke.

Second down and 10 for the

Horns.

Ball resting at the 47 yard line.

So Richland Center back to the drawing board.

Fairly quick moving game as Coach Traxel alluded to with both teams keeping it primarily on the ground.

Lancaster does have a passing touchdown.

Second down play, McGlan hands off Perkins, nowhere to go and he's going to be hit and stripped of the ball in the backfield.

Dodgeville saying he got the ball, the officials bottom of the pile and they say no they did not.

Tackle is made by number 19 Blake Stadola.

Dodgeville getting some real pressure up front and the Hornets will use a timeout.

Just over seven minutes remaining in the third, third down, and about 13.

Coming up for the Hornets in a moment, 12-6 Dodgeville on WRCEO Sports.

Welcome back after the time out Richland Center with a third down at about 13 yards to go ball at the 43 yard line.

Richland Center is on the Glenn will operate out of the shotgun.

He's got the Perkins boys behind him and now waiting to snap from center.

Jayden chef in motion.

There's the snap fake handoff.

There's the throw to Jayden out the flat.

He is hit immediately after making the grab and brought down at the 45 yard line.

Great coverage by the Dodgeville defense.

So no game that or maybe a slight game fourth down at about 12 to 13 for the Hornets and They will have to putt the ball away Ball at the 45 yard line Richland Center zone So the Hornets will get back to punt Avery McGlynn is the punter he's back around the 35 yard line This is the first punt of the game

Awaiting the snap from center.

There it is.

High and then going up to get it as McGlynn.

He puts a toe into it and it's going to be a high pop up.

It's not going very far.

Ball bounces around the 45 down to the 40 and then 39 yard line.

Very short punt and that's where the Dodgers will get it right there.

So first down coming up after the Hornets punt.

So Richland Center tonight has scored on its first possession.

They turned it over on downs, and they punted on their third possession.

Dodgeville has scored on its two possessions, and we'll get the ball for a third time now.

Ball resting at their own, 40 yard line.

6-06 remaining in the first half of high school football tonight.

Looking over things, now is the quarterback.

McGraw takes the snap from center.

Handoff, running play, coming this side.

Lancaster.

leading in that game against Prairie, it looks like.

And here is a running play to the 50 down to the 45.

Good run by number 23 Sawyer Miller, first down in the Richland Center Territory around the 45 yard line.

Stop is made by Deacon Highs.

Arrows up on Prairie 2114, that's in the second quarter.

Filmy Flip Phone sponsored by Y Connect Wireless.

Right now a first down and 10.

For the Dodgers spending little time in the huddle the ball is at the Richland Center 44 yard line The line is set Hornets trying to dig in there's the handoff running play Left tackle to the 40 down to the 39 of Richland Center Ball is carried by 34 Finley Olson and on the tackle Caden

Kaden

has been doing a good job on that line.

We've called his name already a lot tonight second down at five yards to go for the Dodgers 512 remaining in the opening quarter Don'sville with the opening half I should say Don'sville leading it by a score of 12 to 6 the line is set ball at the 39 of Richland Center.

There's the snap running playoff left tackle and up to the 35 and brought back down

So forward progress will give Dodgeville a few more yards, but they'll be short of the first down.

Hornets with good coverage, including Jaden Callen again and Killian Stanley defensive tackle number 36 for the Hornets.

Third down at about three yards to go for the Dodgers.

Need to get inside the 35 or the 34 for a first down handoff Griffin Bush running off left tackle gets around the end pushes the pile and he's got a first down Griffin Bush making his way into RC territory to the 31 yard line and the sticks will move Right now Dodgeville

running downhill on a drive that started at their own 40.

Tate Perkins on that tackle for the Horts.

Dodgeville trying to make hay here while the sun shines with the ball and trying to keep it rolling one mad wide to the near side for the quarterback McGraw.

McGraw takes the snap back to throws, steps out of one tackler now throws it near side and incomplete.

Good coverage.

by the Hornets.

Deacon Heyes was here and the pass was intended for Jackson Jabs of the Dodgers.

Not a bad play, but again pretty well covered by the Hornets.

That brings up second down and

10.

346 remaining in the first half of area high school football tonight.

Pep Band will be out at halftime and I believe they'll be doing their Led Zeppelin medley.

Always fun to hear some of those those old rock songs done in pep band or marching band style Band in motion for the far side whistles sound and I believe that'll be legal motion called against the Dodgeville Dodgers Reedsburg leading Tomah 21-8.

That's him the second half of that game tonight Then we flag and it's gonna be marked off against the

Hornets

Offsides against the Richland Center defense.

Bring some second down and five yards to go for the Dodgers.

Ball is marked inside the 30 to the 27 of Richland Center.

Dodgers will try to get another conversion and keep running downhill.

There's the snap.

Running play again, nothing real fancy.

Off left tackle across the 25 to around the 23 of Richland Center.

Ball carrier was Finley Olson.

Brought down by Bronson Perkins and Company.

Third down and about a yard to go for the Dodgers.

Dodgeville talking it over and he'll be into the line area.

Dodger's made some nice improvements.

They've had some really competitive games this year and some close scores and again Quality win over Lancaster last week third down running play good gaping hole there moving is Finley Olson inside the 15 down to around the 10 of Richland Center before he is brought down Dodger will keep it rolling.

It'll be first and goal for the Dodgers Jaden Shep stopped at touchdown

And Dongeville tries to keep it motivating here.

250 remaining in the first half.

First in goal, Dongeville already leading 12-6 in the game against the Horts.

We'll head to the football.

One man lied to the near side, keep an eye on Jackson-Jabbs.

He caught one earlier for a score.

Under center is McGraw.

Man in motion.

Handoff running play up the gut.

Finley Olson tripped up.

After a couple of yards to around the six yard line at Richland Center second down and goal Tate Perkins makes the stop Both of these teams would be on the bubble to make the playoffs if they win tonight Got a win to at least try to get into that position

Down to the two-minute mark of the first half and off from McGraw running back going to the near side going to be caught from behind that was Sawyer Miller and a nice play coming up to make the tackle from behind was Will Weiss the homecoming king and Killian Stanley and it's going to bring up a third down five yards to go for Richland Center defense.

They've had some tough hands

to deal with and right now try to turn Dodgeville away.

Third down with a minute 29 remaining in the first half.

Dodgers break Cuddle and will head to the football ball resting at the Richland Center five yard line.

Third down and goal.

Jabs out wide to the right.

Handoff is going to come to the middle of the field down to around the goal line and Dodgeville is close and that is a touchdown.

Touchdown run by Finley Olson.

the Freshman and Dodgeville in the end zone for a third time tonight, making the score 18-6.

Finlay Olson, Dodgeville has got so many different running backs.

I mean, you can't get really used to any of them.

They have used Griffin Bush a lot.

They have used Sawyer Miller a lot.

And now, of course, Finlay Olson getting some of the carries on that particular drive.

Dodgeville will try for the first time tonight to convert after scoring.

They're going for two, four wide receivers set.

Finley Olsen right behind McGraw, the quarterback.

McGraw hands off.

Olsen trying to find his way, drags a couple with him, lays down around the one yard line, but he is going to be stopped by the Hornet defense.

Several Hornets, including Tate Perkins, leading the way so the two-pointer is no good.

And it's 18-6.

Dodgeville 111 remaining in the first half.

Welcome back to a vivis rip field.

It is a 18 to 6 lead for Dodgeville, and they will kick off this time.

Dodgeville will kick it right down the middle of the field, and the Hornets will turn it from the 20 to the 30, 35.

Jaden's shot down the sideline, 50, down to the 40.

Turns inside, he could go all the way.

Sput around and drop the football.

It's loose.

It's being dived for down around the nine yard line, and Dodgeville may have gotten the ball back.

There is a pile up of players down around the nine yard line boy.

That was a wild and woolly play both players Going for the ball.

It was knocked loose Right around the 20 and rolled ten yards ahead and it was recovered inside the nine yard line and they've not yet Signaled who has the football?

Dodge Hill was celebrating two players around the ground with the ball

The Dodgeville player came up with it as they unpiled, and now the officials will talk about it.

Shaden Shepp with a great return, but somebody caught the ball as he was nearing the 20-yard line, and it looked like he was going to go all the way, but he did not.

Ball rolled the next 10 yards, and that's where we're standing right now with 56 seconds remaining here in the first half.

Dodgeville with three touchdowns, but no conversions, and they lead by 12 points.

18-6.

So a long discussion by the officials down around the 10 yard line.

Excellent play by the defense.

So the man with the white hat had official coming out to make the call.

I think they're going to re-kick it.

Is that right?

So I believe that will be the case.

Everybody's saying, what's going on in this?

It was returned by the Hornets.

And again, the ball roll moves to around the 10 yard line, and they called it a non-play.

Evidently, both players had control of the football.

Yeah, I'm not sure.

Again, we've had a few of these nights tonight.

I need a man on the sideline with a microphone to kind of let us know what's going on there.

But nonetheless, what's happening, what we can see is Dodgeville is going to kick off again and the Hornets will attempt to return at 18-6, ball game score.

Dodgeville will kick off again.

Goddard Burke is the kicker, keeps this one on the ground and it rolls down around to 25.

It'll be picked up by Shepp at the 30 and then spun around and

breaks a tackle then goes backward and then piled up right around the 27 yard line.

So nowhere to go and the Hornets will have it there for their third possession of the evening.

Ballmark to the 27 their own.

49 seconds remaining in the first half, 18-6.

Dodgeville in the lead here.

High school football coverage tonight.

Fill me with you on a Friday night.

Next week we'll figure out where we go from here.

According to the WIAA playoff pairings, there was a penalty, I believe, on the return.

That's what's being discussed right now.

So the officials coming to the sidelines to

personal

foul called on the Hornets.

So instead of the 27 yard line, that will back it down inside the 15 to the 14 yard line.

That's where Richland Center will take over.

The playoff pairings announcements will be made tomorrow on channel 27.2 out of Madison, not the main channel 27, 27.2.

So that's on some cables and over the air and it will be also

Available via stream online.

Awaiting a snap from center is the Hornet QB back to throw his McGlynn hands off on a draw play.

The running back Perkins slips across the 10 to around the 12 yard line and then finally brought down.

There's a flag on the play as he's brought down out of bounds.

Flag flies on the tackle by Perkins.

and

so again we'll await well the last minute or so has taken longer than almost the entire quarter the quarter has been sailing along personal foul is a face mask against Dodgeville and so I'll remark from the 15 I'll help the Hornets cause a little bit but just 39 seconds remaining in the first half

Ball

will be taken out to around the 25-yard line on the face map.

First

down and 10 for the Horts.

Potosi Casper leading Riverdale, 31-nothing, that's in the second quarter.

Reedsburg leading Tolma, 21-eight, second quarter.

First and 10, Hornets, and there's McGlynn back to throw, looks to the right side.

Now frozen out there on the flat, it is caught by the receiver.

Perkins and not much spun around to the 21 loss of about four yards on the play.

Not much happening there.

The Hornets will use a timeout.

22 seconds remaining here in the first half.

Griffin Bush brings him down.

Timeout on the field from WRCO Sports, the Dairyland Transportation High School Sports Update coming up.

McGlynn back to throw.

Whips it near side.

Shep had it.

Now Brawl is going to be knocked away and loose and out of play.

It looks like that's going to be called an incompletion.

He did not have it long enough.

He was hit pretty hard on the play by Jackson Jabs.

Takes the time down to 17 seconds, third down, and about 12 yards to go.

Sparta leading Barobu, 13-7.

That game is at halftime.

Area football tonight.

Or it's back in the huddle, third down.

12 yards to go from their 23 yard line.

Guy is in Switzenburg, splits out wide to the near side.

Hornets everybody else in tight.

Out of the eye formation, awaiting a snap is McGlynn.

Back fakes the pitch, now fakes the throw and comes along the near side for the 15 to the 20.

Trying to run it and he's wrestled out of bounds around the 24 yard line.

Tackle made by Blake Stadola.

And with nine seconds remaining, fourth down and 11 for the Hornets.

Ball is marked at their own 29 yard line.

Hornets will contemplate here on fourth down.

They've got McGlynn back to punt.

The quarterback is also the punter, which is a nice thing to have.

So fourth and about 11 yards to go for the Hornets awaiting a snap from center.

and the Glenn takes the snap and spirals this one.

There's nobody back deep for Dodgeville as far as it's going to roll into the open territory and that'll be the final play of the first half.

On its end with a punt, they score one.

Dodgeville scores three.

Dodgeville fails on all three conversion runs and it is 18-6.

Dodgers leading at halftime.

Enjoy the halftime.

We'll have an update for you coming up in just a little bit from

Welcome to the Dairyland Transportation High School Sports Update.

Dairyland Transportation of Richland Center knows what it takes to meet the needs of customers in a fast-paced world.

It's similar to the commitment high school athletes make.

Dairyland Transportation is proud to salute all high school athletes with the Dairyland Transportation High School Sports Update.

The postseason is going to get underway for lots of teams next week, including the Richland Center soccer team.

I talked to coach Tom Statler about the tournament that begins on Tuesday.

This is my fifth year coaching and we finally have a home game for the state tournament.

So Tuesday night at 7 p.m.

October 20th, we'll be playing against Boston in the state tournament.

So it's a great opportunity for folks to come down and support the Hornets as we begin our road to state.

Good luck to the Richland Center soccer teams and the WIAA postseason.

It was a nice night last night for the Richland Center Ithaca cross country team.

The girls team endured after suffering an injury and also suffering through some sickness.

Margaret Lawless ran one of the best races that coach Eric Mendham says that he's ever seen starting around fourth, but near the leaders in third place at the two mile mark, caught the leader and ran away with the conference title.

And for the boys team, Owen Dryer ran away with the individual title, big races from some underclassmen, securing a conference

championship for Richland Center Ithaca.

Owen Dreyer was first, Sam Jones sixth, Braden Burns seventh, Ben Waterfall 13th, William Harpen 14th, Benjamin Santel 20th, and Bracen Garcia Boland was 23rd.

Congratulations to the two-time conference champions.

And looking ahead to the postseason, I ask coach Eric Minden about sectionals.

Yeah, we gotta go outside of Portage, Wisconsin, so wouldn't be sectionals without an hour and a half drive for us.

So yeah, we'll have a chance to get through there to state.

That's that's the goal.

That's the hope and both boys and girls we think have a chance.

And the W I A postseason begins for head coach Jamie Johnson of the Richland Center volleyball teams next week.

I know the top four, maybe even the top five seats.

Um, have a buy.

So, um, my guess is, uh, we'll be playing next Thursday.

Um, typically if you get a buy, you host and then just, uh, we'll see from there.

The Hornet volleyball team, indeed, a fourth seed will be taking on new glares next week for the right to play on Saturday night in the regional championship.

That's it for this portion of the Dairyland Transportation High School Sports update.

We'll check in with original center alumnus Travis Wilson from bound, Wisconsin coming up next.

Travis Wilson joins us for our football preview here on WRCO.

Travis, here it is, the big night, the big weekend, and your chance to put on makeup and be a star on TV tomorrow too, right?

Yeah, I get to take off my face for radio and try my face for TV.

I decided to be part of the WI bracket reveal show that will be on the statewide network.

Locally, for most people, I think, in the Richland Center area, it'll be on actually 27.2.

That's the WKOW alternate channel.

If you have cable, I'm not 100% sure which one that might be.

Or you can also stream it online on the WKOW website.

Um, 10 o'clock on Saturday as we reveal teams that made it in the seeds, the brackets, all that kind of good stuff.

How much drama comes down to the last night?

Other, uh, quite a few teams that have to win to get in.

Oh, there's, there's tons of variables in play tonight, whether it's teams trying to get a win to get in or even just to get on the bubble teams that are trying to improve their seed.

The results for tonight might determine whether they get a home game.

in the first playoff game or have to go on the road.

It might determine if they get a one seed or a two seed.

It might determine a lot of different things.

And in addition to all of the playoff implications, there's a lot of conference races that are still up for grabs around the state.

So a lot on the line.

We've talked about it before.

This week nine results, even games that are between teams that maybe aren't even in the playoffs can have an impact on

other teams getting in because part of the playoff qualifying criteria is, you know, if I'm, if I'm Richland center, for instance, how do the teams that I beat fair?

So, you know, teams that I beat, I want them to win this week and that will improve chances and improve seating for everybody.

This is the second year of that.

Have you had a lot of feedback, a lot of criticism or do people like it for the most part?

It's been really well received.

If you go back a couple years ago, 90% of the coaches voted in favor of this proposal.

And it's been very well received.

There's always going to be people that are upset because they were team 33 out of 32 that make it in the playoffs in a particular division.

But ultimately, a lot of coaches understand that they had control of their fortunes.

If they win more games and do better,

They would have got in.

So coaches like the transparency of it.

Updates are posted throughout the year.

So they can kind of know where they're at.

The points are very straightforward and transparent.

So it's been very well received and I think has definitely been an improvement the last, well, this is again, year two.

Let's focus on Southwest Wisconsin.

Ithaca Weston has got a good resume going this year, don't they?

They do.

They have a very good chance to be not only a one seed in the playoffs, but maybe even into that conversation to be the overall one seed in Division 7.

They're pretty much locked into a one.

Obviously, Nesita on the schedule this week.

You expect that they'll get a W there and head into the playoffs undefeated.

And again, looking at a one seed where they're going to have a home game if they win all the way through the first three rounds of the playoffs.

And that's not happened before.

There were other years where I thought they maybe deserved that and they had to go on the road for a tough game the second week.

So it'd be nice to see that for Ithaca Western women.

Absolutely.

There's, of course, been times that they've been, been matched up when they used to be in the Ridge and Valley where they were matched up with Brooke, excuse me, a Bangor or cashed in out of the scenic bluffs and would end up getting a two seat, a lot of times and

you know weren't uh we get knocked off by some of those teams but obviously now in the scenic playoffs they've taken care of business against those squads so fortunes look good for Ithaca-weston um you know one of the key things I think for them will be who else ends up in their bracket you know if there's some of those six rivers teams that have sometimes given them a little bit of trouble as well um you know that could be a little bit of a bumping uh bump point for them where you know if they again the six rivers is really good so

They'd probably prefer to avoid some of those teams.

But when you're undefeated and have a lot of confidence and momentum, they're going to be ready to go.

And ultimately, as I tell people, you have to play good teams in the playoffs at some point.

Where do you play them in level two, level three?

I mean, you're getting down to it, right?

Level three is only eight teams left in division.

So you have to expect you're going to play a good team, and you have to expect that you are going to have to win a game to continue to advance.

Well, if they asked me, uh, who Ithaca Western should play in the first round and they won't, um, I would say Riverdale.

That'd be a pretty cool matchup Riverdale's in the playoffs this year.

It looks like.

Yeah.

The first time since 2013, if I remember correctly, for the chiefs to get in, which is very good to see.

Um, they've, they've made some nice improvements over the last couple of years.

And that would be an interesting first round matchup potential between Ithaca Western and Riverdale.

Uh, you would know better than I would at what, when's the last time those two teams would have played probably a few years ago when they were both in the Ridge and Valley, I think, right?

No, they played the first game of the year this year, actually.

Oh, they did.

Okay.

Well, there we go.

Non-conference.

There we go.

Yeah.

Non-conference.

And it was a really close game too.

So that's why I say it would be a nice first round game.

I think maybe ethical, ethical Western would want to play it, but I was thinking that would be a good one.

Otherwise Riverdale might be going on the road a few hours.

You never know.

Yeah.

Uh, there's, you know, division sevens pretty spread out.

And there's times where some of the teams locally again get pushed up into the scenic blocks or even with dairy land type teams.

Sometimes they go southwest with six rivers type teams.

Sometimes they've even gone southeast with teams from in the southeast part of the state.

So very, very interested to see where all of those teams end up heading and what kind of matchups they would have down the road.

It doesn't appear that it's going to be an easy thing if, if Richland center or Dodgeville make the playoffs, but homecoming for your old Alma mater Travis tonight should be a good game.

Should be.

Yeah.

Um, unfortunately, I don't see a path to Richland center getting in the playoffs, whether they win or lose.

The resume is just not going to be very strong overall.

And I think a very, very high chance that they're not in even if they win.

The nice thing about homecoming being the final week of the season, which is not normal.

is that it does, um, you know, even if there's not a playoff berth on the line, it does have that, uh, little bit of extra hype in buzz being homecoming.

So hopefully the Hornets can, uh, can get it done and have a good homecoming to close the season.

And Dodgel's a team that, uh, they've played much better this year, haven't they?

They have definitely done some improvement there.

They're in a similar type boat to, uh, to Richland center, though, where, you know,

They may be in they may not be in even with the with the win They put themselves in a position where it's not going to be easy and even if they do get in you know They're they're looking at probably a road game and having to go play somewhere against a pretty good team

What are your top games your picks for this week in Wisconsin Travis

Well one game I'm really interested in watching and technically it's a non-conference game because it is a crossover to end the year But you've got the SWC champion flat bill

playing against the swall champion, Darlington.

Um, so that's going to be a really fun one.

Uh, again, technically doesn't count towards conference.

Both have that locked up, but, uh, obviously teams that are very close together.

Teams that are pretty solid.

Darlington playing up in, in playing a little bit bigger, uh, competition.

So that's definitely one of the ones I'm watching quite a bit this week.

And you wonder, um, if Platteville can stay with him because Darlington has had its way with most every team, haven't they?

They have and those teams have played.

I believe they've played non-conference in recent years.

Maybe I'm thinking a prairie machine that Dylantons played, but either way, a good opportunity for Dylantons to get a good task late in the year.

They haven't really been challenged a ton this season and that's the kind of game that you need at some point to really push yourself and end up in a situation where

You got to play four quarters, hopefully for Darlington.

At some point in the playoffs, you're going to have to play four quarters.

So getting that experience would be beneficial, I think.

As an assistant for Reedsburg, I know you're kind of focused on there.

What's the scenario for Reedsburg and the playoffs?

Yeah, pretty much locked into a two-seat in the postseason.

Win or lose.

Now, if we lose, it would be a really, really bad day.

We play Tomah, who has not won a game this year.

Either way, we can't get to a one and we can't drop to a three.

So we're just looking to see what other teams will be in our bracket who will potentially get matched up with.

There's a couple of different scenarios depending on how things go.

We could play kind of a northern group of schools where it's lacrosse Logan and Merrill, Medford, Rhinelander, some teams going to the northern part of the state or potentially going towards the southeast part of the state where it would be Tewaki who's undefeated.

maybe Catholic Memorial in that bracket.

So there's quite a bit of variance on, on where we could go and what teams we could end up matched up with.

And it won't be long.

We'll be talking basketball with, with bound Wisconsin.

That's coming up and for teams that are not in the playoffs, uh, they'll probably start away right away on Monday with open gyms, right?

Yeah.

Most places have been doing open gyms for quite a while, to be honest with you.

Um, optional open gyms throughout the fall.

We have been in Reedsburg.

I believe Richmond centers been having those as well.

So it will ramp up once the teams are done with football.

Sometimes the frequency of those open gyms increases as we build up to the start of practices in just over a month for boys.

And yeah, we're getting ready at bow and we've got everything ready to go.

We've got the seasons built, the teams ready to go.

All schedules are in.

We're in the process of getting everything going there.

And then from a content perspective, Colt Wilson's been getting out tons of boys basketball content, including preseason all state.

Uh, there's conference previews getting, uh, pushed out as well.

We've got girls basketball content, uh, rolling out.

So, uh, definitely a busy crossover season as we work on wrapping up the fall sports and get ready for the winter sports coming out.

Well, tell Colton thank you when you see him.

Okay.

We'll do.

All right.

Sounds good.

And then what about you in terms of, uh, do you put tea bags on your eyes so that, you know, you don't have bags under your eyes tomorrow after a late night?

Yeah, we'll see I'm actually gonna go stay in a hotel after our game drive to Madison The show is filmed at the studio in Madison, so I'll drive there Friday night get up Saturday take a look at the brackets and do the prep and get ready to do the analysis and commentary and Looking forward to a good time, but hopefully I don't have too big of a band

Well, I always watch that show and it's always great and I was like hey

I know that guy, you know, so thanks for doing what you're doing.

Thanks for joining us again this Friday.

Yeah, you bet.

Anytime.

Thanks, Bill.

Welcome back to Richland Center High School by this field, Dodgeville leading 18 to 6 and the band's halftime show has just ended and it has been just spectacular.

Mr. Barron's company and the overriding comment from some of the Dodgeville fans is, boy, that's a big band and they're good too, yeah.

They are doing well as they march off the field here for their final performance of the band for the year.

They've been out here a couple of times.

this year.

In half time, they also recognized some of the homecoming representatives, including the 2026 Homecoming King and Queen, our own Bill Twining, so accurately pointing out it's probably the first time in history that both of the individuals have names that start with W. We have Ren Wilson and Will Weiss.

So, WWW and WW2, I guess.

So, anyway, congratulations to them.

The 26 senior representatives also include Kylie Burns and the Blake Stibby, class of 28.

The junior representatives are Paxton Posh and Ainslie Myers.

The class of 2029 members include Emma Jelenick and Owen Dreyer.

and the class of 2030 members represented by McKenna Muller and Aiden Ewing.

So congratulations to them, and they'll be leading the dance tomorrow night here at Richland Center High School.

Coming up in a couple of minutes after this two-minute break, we'll get more of the game going here, the second half right around the bend.

There by the field Dodgeville leading it by a score of 18 to 6 first score came on a 15-yard Bronson Perkins touchdown run the extra point kick was blocked and Dodgeville went on to score on a Carter McGraw to Jackson jabs pass that Covered about 15 yards the two-pointer failed and it was six to six That was the score going into the second quarter

Dodgeville was on a drive and they culminated it with a Griffin-Busch run for a score and that made it 12-6.

The two-pointer failed.

One final touchdown, Finley Olson with a five-yard run and that made it 18-6.

Again, the two-pointer failed.

That came with a minute 11 remaining in the first half and that is how we stand here at halftime.

It is 18-6 with Dodgeville in the lead.

The Hornets have had some opportunities here but

credit to Dodgeville's defense.

They have been able to slow them down, tighten things up here a little bit, and the Hornets will get ready for the kickoff here to start the second half.

Good halftime show, and a nice job by Leif Carlson and Company and the Booth, narrating, recognizing some alumni, and then also doing the honors on the awards of seniors, and it sounds like the seniors won all the Spirit Awards.

this week as they should other than it sounds like they were upset in the powder puff football game by the juniors but otherwise the seniors getting the victory we were I don't think as seniors who won anything when I was in high school I don't believe so I think we were on double secret probation so I don't believe that we were eligible fourth year row that we put a toilet on our float

You know, may have been funny as freshmen, but by the time we were seniors, so we got kind of some drawbacks on that too.

But nonetheless, when you, you're around homecoming, you see the school spirit, it does take you back.

Awesome time, and been a good week of homecoming festivities here at Richland Center High School.

Ornates will kick off, Dodgeville to our right, Richland Center to our left, here in the third quarter, and an 18-6 Dodgeville lead.

Late Morris is the kicker for Richland Center Dodgeville sending a couple of men back deep to receive and getting set to do the honors here Will be late Morris I'm not sure what the holdup is I guess they're waiting for the clock to wind down clock still showed a little bit of time Stopped everybody and in their place for a moment.

All right, here we go Morris with a hand up and ready to roll here and

Here comes the approach and the end over end.

It's going to be taken around the 20, dropped by Griffin Bush, now picked up and he will run it at the 21 and then spun around.

Good open field tackle by the Richland Center Hornets.

That was number 21 Deacon Heiss.

And that's where Dodgeville will take over.

First time with possession here in the second half of their own 23 yard line.

Dodgeville's

Quarterback is Carter McGraw joined in the backfield getting a lot of carries tonight Finley Olson Jace Halverson and Blake Stadola Line is set that's Judd Wetter Vandra and Kahoon along with Alexander There's the snap from center and the running play cutting off left tackle to the 25 so a game of about two yards on the carry by Olson and the Hornets make the stop

Blake Muller coming in from the near side.

Brings up second down at about seven yards to go for the Dodgers ballmarked at their own 25 yard line.

Ornates in paradise.

Boy, I got a hand into some of those floats today too.

Their palm trees were sticking up.

Didn't even have any guy wires or anything.

Man in motion for the Dodgers.

Hand off again.

They like to run off tackle and there's a running play to the 29 yard line.

Gained about four more.

for the ball carrier.

At time it was number 34, Finley Olson.

Third down to about two yards to go for the Dodgers who've had a much improved season looking for victory number four tonight.

All victories would be in the conference.

And even though they scored three times, they still only need to hornets by 12 points in this one.

Third down play third and short yardage for the Dodgers on its showing blitz There's the snap handoff and that's Olson again and dives across the pile 31 to the 32 gonna be close to the first down and he got it sticks are stretched out Tackle made by Will Weiss First in 10 for the Dodgeville Dodgers

Ball marked at the 32 yard line their own Dodgeville up to the football The line is set quarterback McGraw takes the snap from under center backs off to his own 25 He's gonna whip one down the sideline and it is incomplete Intended right around the 45 yard line for Braxton Staber and the horse David Schep was down the sideline good coverage

by the Hornet defense.

We've had that tonight.

They've not been able to

really

get much going through the air.

And they really haven't had to.

H8 clone also, I should say, number 12 was back there on that play for the Hornets.

Waited for him to turn around so I could see the number.

Handoff running play, bush coming to the near side.

Bumps his way to the 37.

There's a flag.

He is brought down after a gain of about five yards.

Tackle

made there by Bronson Perkins And this is something Perkins is down and there's a cramp and the dodgeville player is helping him Get the cramp out Vinley Olson helping Bronson Perkins I don't know that I've seen that before the opposing team helping out on the Cramp situation holding calls going to be against the Dodgers So that will mark it off

Good sportsmanship though, absolutely.

Holding penalty, not sure where it occurred, it must have been in the backfield because it takes the ball all the way to the 21-yard line, Dodgeville with its back against the wall here.

Now the 10 minutes remaining in the third quarter, Dodgeville in the lead, 18-6.

We'll be getting a few more scores.

That game at Weston a final tonight, 47-nothing.

Ithaca Weston wins against Nasside.

And so it is a happy homecoming at Weston.

47-nothing the final in that one.

Last night of the regular season.

There are a few lopsided games.

A few coming down to the wire.

Second down and 22 yards to go for the Dodgers.

Man in motion, they jumped again.

That's the penalty against Dodgeville.

So it'll back it off five more yards.

Dodgeville headed in the wrong direction.

Hornets bringing back Jaden Calland at the nose tackle spot.

Caden Ingman will get a breather along the defensive

line

for the Hornets.

Also coming out is Deacon Highs, it looks like.

Second down and about 27 yards to go for a first down for the Dodgers ballmarked right around their own 16.

They jumped again.

Dodgeville having trouble here.

And that'll back up five more yards.

So they'll take it back back the other way in the Hornets.

Without running a defensive play of back them up back to right around the 13 yard line.

Second

down

and

all the way to Hub City for the first down it looks like.

Second down and about 30 yards to go.

Dodgeville under center, Carter McGraw waiting the snap man in motion for the near side and the motion man gets the carry and he runs to the right side.

So your Miller crossed the 15 out to the 17 and driven back by a whole swarm of Hornets.

So they will unfile and nice play by the Hornet defense.

So still third and very long.

See Perkins giving credit for the tackle.

Bronson in there again was going through a cramped situation, but he is back and ready to roll and we are set.

Perkins playing on that left side where he had an interception last week to preserve the game against River Valley.

Man in motion and then a counter play in the backfield.

That's who's got some running room.

They are going to get most of the yardage back all the way to the 35 to the 36 yard line on one big swing there by Griffin Bush.

Tate Perkins brings him down.

Short of the first down, but a lot better situation for Dodgeville.

It'll bring up fourth down and six yards to go from the 36 their own.

I would presume that.

Dodgeville will punt this away.

Jaden Shepp will back off to right around his 30-yard line.

Dodgeville's punter dropping back.

Shepp ready for a potential big return here.

There's the snap flags again.

Not Dodgeville.

And an illegal motion penalty on the punt.

Dodgeville is kind of frozen up here to start in the second half.

Kind of hurting themselves with the penalty.

The ball marked back at the 31 yard line.

Fourth down and 11 yards to

go.

The punter is Blake Stadola.

He'll be taking a snap from back around his zone 20 yard line.

There's the snap.

He takes into the red basket and then punts this one low.

It's going to

And now he'll be picked up by Shepp right around the 33.

Returns it.

I knew he'd get a return to the 50.

45, 40.

Shepp turns in.

25, 20.

Shepp could go all the way, and he will.

No flags on the play, and the Richland Center Hornets have returned one on Dodgeville.

Wait a minute.

Yes, there is a flag.

Down around the 10-yard line.

Let's see what the call is.

Shepp caught.

Man alive and every time this year when when he's been punted to it is a holding against Russell Center Every time he's been kicked to or punted to it seems like he's a return waiting to happen, but Somebody committed a no-no there and the 10-yard penalty will nullify what was an exciting touchdown run the Hornets are still going to have great field position So the ball

Mark there and that'll be at the Dodgeville.

You got it around the 23 yard line.

So that's where it looks like.

23 yard line of Dodgeville after the punt.

Hornets up to the football can make this game a little closer.

A little more interesting here tonight.

Ball is marked at the 23 of Dodgeville.

McGlynn under center takes the snap handoff on the delay to Perkins running up left tackle bounces to the 20 down to around the 19 yard line That's about where it will be Jackal is made by number 22 Harper Olson Second down and seven yards to go for the horse Along the line Baru the center the guards are Klingerman and Callan Morris and Woodman the tackles

Tate Perkins, Bronson Perkins, Caden Thibbey taking turns in the backfield.

Jaden Schep, Kaisen Schwitzenberg, Blake Muller, the receivers.

Second down, ball marked inside the 20 in the red zone.

Sponsored by Wurz, plumbing and heating.

There's the snap from center.

McGlynn throws it, caught by Schwitzenberg, turns down field, makes his way inside the 10 to the 8 yard line before he is brought down.

by the Dodgers number 22 Harper Olson.

So that's where the Hornets will wind up as they continue to get down and the closer and closer again with touchdown run and putt return by Jaden Schep called back because of a holding that they're going to try to punch one in here.

First in goal to go for the Hornets.

Ball marked at the eight yard line of Dodgeville Ball marked on the far hash Avery Mclin will operate out of the shotka low snap now He'll pitch at Bronson Perkins try to make the corner to the 10 down around the five puts his shoulder down slides I don't think he got in Very close great run by Bronson Perkins Kept out by Sawyer Miller of Dodgeville, so it's gonna be marked

Right around where extra point would be and the Hornets are hustling to the line.

No huddle offense here Down around the two-yard line snap from center that goes to Bronson Perkins tries to break around the corner He's got a little room running and gunning and he has got it in for the touchdown Two-yard run for the Hornets and they draw a little closer Bronson with his second touchdown run of the evening and Richland Center now will contemplate the

Two-point conversion.

Again, even though Dodgeville has scored three times, they have missed all of their extra-point runs.

It's down to a six-point game, and the Hornets can make it a five-point game with the extra-point kick by the freshman, Ryder Wilson, the holder, Blaine Beinborn, the kicker.

Long snap count.

and there it is placement is made now it's dropped picked up by the holder near side Ryder Wilson looking to the goal line now whips it over the middle and it's picked off by Dodgeville and that'll do it for this play trying to recover I'm not sure if look like this snap was low and may have been maybe mishandled in Ryder Wilson who's the backup quarterback picked it up and tried to make something out of it the two-pointer fails that makes it 18 to 12

Dodgeville by 6 513 remaining in the third quarter.

Griffin Bush takes the kickoff and he's getting back for Dodgeville a few yards to the 40-45 near midfield as he is upended there by

the

Hornets.

Brought down by Blake Muller and that's where Dodgeville will take over for its second possession.

Just shy of midfield for the Dodgeville Dodgers.

River Ridge leading Blackhawk 1, 20-12 in the third quarter.

Reedsburg up and on top of Tomah 43-8.

on the Phil Knee flip phone sponsored by Marcy's Strikeout Alzheimer's.

We have a first and 10 for Dodgeville, ball with their own 49 yard line.

The snap to McGraw, running play up the gut across the 50 and original center territory.

They push the pile to near the 46 yard line.

Stop is made inside by Caden England and Company.

As they unpile, that was Finley Olson, who's had a lion's share of the carries tonight.

Finley listed as a freshman for Dodgeville.

Good runner out there.

Up to snap the ball now, the Dodgeville line is set second down to about five yards to go from the 46th of Richland Center.

Hand off the counter in the backfield, spinning up to the left tackle spot and getting ahead for a couple of his carter, Harper Olson, I should say.

crosses the 45 to around the 43 before he is going to be taken down by the Hornets defense.

Cerebral on the play, Leif Morris and Blake Muller.

Third down and short for the Dodgeville Dodgers right across the 45 Richland Center at the 44.

Just under four minutes remaining in the third quarter, 18-12.

Dodgeville, things have gotten interesting.

Dodgeville's trying to answer the recent Hornets score.

Third down, there's the handoff, up the gut, run to the 40, down to the 39, that's a first down.

Richmond Center, giving up some yardage and the chains will move for the Dodgers.

Good sportsmanship by the boys tonight, helping one another up.

Finley Olson on the carry.

Tackle, made by 14, Kaisen Schwitzenberg.

First

down.

First in 10 for the Dodgers.

Homecoming crowd here tonight.

Good crowd.

Many of them stuck around for the band.

Some did start to head out and about.

It is a little chilly tonight.

Handoff for Finley right up the middle.

Olson is going to be driven back by a swarm of Hornets.

Push back to around the 39 yard line.

Forward progress got into the 37 it looks

like.

Tate

and Stibby coming up through the middle to make the stop for Richmond Center.

Clock under three minutes remaining in the third quarter.

Second down in 10 for the Dodgeville Dodgers leading it 18 to 12.

Here in this football game the Hornets recent score.

Dodgeville had reeled off 18 unanswered points before the Hornets recent six.

Up to the football now the Dodgers.

Second down from the 37 of Richland center Carter McGraw the quarterback the sophomore is under center takes the handoff puts it on his hip going to the far side Hornets trying to catch him McGraw's got a little running room He's got a first down and then ushered out of bounds over along the far side and a late flag Hornets took him out of bounds a little bit too far it looks like so

That'll be adding insult to injury on that one.

Carter McGraw did a good job of disguising it and got around the right end and kept on going and then in the eyes of the official kind of ushered out of bounds a little bit too far over there toward the track.

He was not yet, but it was just a matter of kind of helping his momentum.

Maybe pushed him a little bit out of bounds.

Personal foul is going to be called on the

Hornets.

That'll help on Dodgeville's cause.

Moving the ball from the 25 should be all the way down to around the 10 yard line.

And they're walking it off.

Ritzel Center defense back it up.

It will be a first and goal with around the 10 yard line.

And now.

I'm not sure what the.

Cole was they were pointing at Dodgeville Almost like the penalty was on them.

I think they they marked it on the wrong side I mean signal the wrong side, but it was clearly against Richland Center So it's first in 10 for the Hornets down around the ten yard line the Hornet defense I should say trying to dig in the Dodgeville offense trying to keep on rambling They're gonna get down to around the six yard line on a run by fullback Finley Olson brought back boys

going to be bruised and battered in the morning there.

He's gotten a lot of calls tonight.

Holden Grubb coming up from the left tackle spot makes the tackle second down for the Dodgeville Dodgers.

They'll mark that at the five yard line.

Under two minutes remaining here in the third quarter.

High school football on the radio.

Thanks for watching it with us tonight here.

Dodge will splitting out a man to the near side first make a second and goal from the five yard line There's the snap from center and a running play up the gut for the Dodgers not much Hornets stack them up right at the line and Push them back good coverage by the Hornets defensive line Philly Olson brought down by guys in Twitsburg and Kate and England Big number 70 making the play there So it'll bring up

Third down goal to go at the five yard line for the Dodgeville Dodgers.

Clock running down to a minute ten remaining here in the third quarter.

Dodgeville leading by six but trying desperately to add to the total.

Third down ball marked officially at the Hornet four yard line.

Third and goal awaiting the snap.

Dodgeville man in motion.

McGraw moves and now flags fly everywhere.

That's going to be a delay of game.

against

the Dodgers.

Lancaster putting together a good performance tonight.

They're up 28-14 on Prairie du Chieng.

It's just been an interesting conference this year.

You know, Dodgeville, these guys dominated Lancaster.

Lastly, took advantage of some turnovers.

Now tonight, Prairie du Chieng arguably one of the best teams in the conference, getting beat by two touchdowns against the Eros.

Third down from the nine for the Dodgers Awaiting a snap is McGraw a handoff for a running play up the gut spinning inside the five and gonna be brought down around the two-yard line the ball carrier was Sawyer Miller for Dodgeville Deacon eyes makes the tackle and

now it's gonna bring a

fourth down for the Dodgers fourth and goal from right around the one yard line That might be the final play of the quarter.

We're down to 10 seconds Dodgeville will stay

in the huddle.

They hustle a play in from the sideline, but I believe they're going to let the clock go down and they will.

So when we resume, Dodger will have the ball first and goal.

They lead by six, 18-12.

We'll have a fresh 12 minutes coming up after this time out.

Avery McGlynn is under center, there's the snap.

Avery is back, rolls to the near side and then throws near side, caught by Schwitzenberg, turns upfield to the 40 and then rolled out of bounds right around the 40 yard line.

Nice catch tackle is made.

That was actually Jaden Schep.

I take that back.

Switzenberg was on that side helping the block.

Jaden Schep makes the grab.

Stops the clock with 28 seconds as he was out of bounds.

I guess just short of the first down.

Second down and short yardage to go for the Hornets.

Last to Rob.

Just have some fun out there here.

Wrapping up the season.

for the senior senior quarterback Avery McGlynn back in the huddle and Richland center up to the football.

From the 43 yard line their own second down 28 seconds remaining.

McGlynn under center he's back.

Backfield is trying to help him help block for him and now nowhere to go.

McGlynn rolls to the near side fakes the shovel and then is going to be rushed out of bounds around the 49 yard line.

So he did get enough for a first down stops the clock with

16 seconds to go.

Ball is marked at the 49 yard line, Richland Center zone.

So the chains will move.

A little razzle-dazzle at the end here.

A little hook and ladder, something like that.

Double pass,

you know.

Final stanza of the year.

Have some fun.

Split out wide to the right, Blake Muller and Tate Perkins.

Now Jaden Shepp joins them.

Guys in Schwitzenberg out wide left side stadium side out of the shotgun McGlynn back to throw from his own 40 steps up in the pocket and now looking.

Looks to the far side running running throwing on the run and he's out of bounds with six seconds to play.

Good coverage by the Dodgers.

Sam Rupp was in the backfield trying to make a little bit of nervousness there from a Glenn and Avery rolled

out.

held his composure and still try to make a play.

So it's going to bring up second out in 10, possibly the final play of the game.

McGlynn looking to the near side and then the back in the huddle for one final go around here for the Hornets.

They're in tight in committee and now heading out second out in 10 from their 49 yard line.

Six seconds to go in the ball game.

Or it's now all in the final score and the final memories awaiting a snap.

McGlynn will take it out of the shotgun.

Long snap.

County backs up to around the 41.

His own looking looking.

Now he's going to wind one over the middle up in the air.

Senior to senior, Avery McGlynn to Jaden Shep, 51 yarder and the extra point try coming up here for the Haunts.

At the end of the ball game, I guess they will try it.

Avery McGlynn, again, sometimes the pocket is broken down for him, but that time they got him some time and the backs were out there helping to make sure that he didn't get hit as he threw.

Looks like the Hornets will try the kick.

Extra point kick, so... Well...

It's usually Blaine-Bindmore, but this is Deacon Highs, I believe.

Awaiting a snap from center is the holder.

There it is.

Placement is made.

Deacon Highs with a kick.

It is on the way, and it is...

Good.
