yard pass.
15 yard line gets to the 30, cuts around looking three thousand ways, doesn't it?
You will take it to distance.
He's in for the touchdown!
Let's go out to the play-by-play with Rod Helverson on WJMS.
Good afternoon football fans from Longyear Field in Ironwood.
It's Michigan football, eight man football starts this week in Michigan and we have the Florence Bobcats in town to take on the Ironwood Red Devils.
I'm Rod Helverson alongside Joe Remkes as Michigan gets going tonight.
Joe, yeah, it's gonna be exciting.
It's been a long time since I've been on the Michigan side of sports and that
I'll tell you what, it's exciting to be here, right?
It feels good considering the lack of rain throughout the summer, a couple of brown spots, but not... It looks good in a sense, but the grass isn't very long, is it?
Well, when I went down to the concession stand, I walked across some of the ground, it's really crunchy out there.
Yeah, it's not going to be a soft field.
No, but hopefully, you know, I think it's going to hold up well.
It looks like they did some nice work.
It looks sharp from up here.
It certainly does.
It looks sharp.
It just doesn't look like a very...
soft playing surface but that won't affect us will it not at all not at all not at all Florence coached by Ken Schmidt they started their season last week against three lakes slash spelps a combination team there and they lost 28 to 12 so they come in with an 0-1 record ironwood as I mentioned kicking off the season tonight and Florence
This was the game that Ironwood was supposed to play hurly.
I've said this a few times on the radio over the last couple weeks.
This was supposed to be the hurly Ironwood game.
They redid the hurly conference.
They added a couple teams, such as Leona Wabino, Three Lakes Phelps, and Elko White Lake.
And that forced Hurly to drop out of the Ironwood game as they have a component.
Luckily,
probably would, not for why it happened, but Gillett I believe dropped down to a JV program and I think that was who Florence was supposed to play tonight.
So they went to JV, opened up a spot for Gillett and luckily Ironman was able to grab Florence, so I believe this has to be Florence's first trip over to this side of the peninsula to play football.
I just, I don't recall them being over here before.
Yeah, definitely, you know, they have a
I was looking at their warm-ups up there, and they've got a pretty big quarterback.
He's a senior this year, and he's 6'5", and 238".
He can probably steal over the whole line of scrimmage.
I don't think he's going to have a problem.
He's a big kid,
isn't
he?
He stands out above the rest of the team for the most part.
I think that one other guy is a 6'2", 6'3", guy, Carter Reed.
Yeah, there's a 6'4", Chris.
When they walked up to the high school, you could tell without even looking, you could tell which one was the quarterback.
Yeah, he's a good sized kid and with his weight, we do have the weights on them.
Sometimes you don't get weights on the visiting teams, but he is 238 pounds, so.
Yeah, talk to Kevin Lane.
I said, well, what do you know about Florence?
He said the key, he filled the key, especially on defense.
is to watch the long pass.
Yeah and that's going to be one of the things I think they're going to go to a lot Lawrence is on the passing game because you got a quarterback that size and that you know being a senior he knows the offense he's played for four years now so he's ready to air out the ball tonight so yeah we got to stay at our stay at home and we also can contain him on the run too because he picks that ball and he's a big kid.
Yeah you have to hit him low to bring him down and it looks like
If both of these wide receivers are the starters, one guy is 6'3 and the other guy is 6'4.
So they got some height on their offensive sides.
And I don't know how Ironwood is going to match up size-wise with these guys, but we're going to find out.
Yeah, it's going to be interesting to see.
I'm just looking at Ironwood's lineup.
They got a young team this year, Rod.
Looking at the grades, there's one senior.
and five juniors eight sophomores and 11 freshmen so you know we'll see what happens this year I mean but of course they're building it's kind of like once in a while you do have to rebuild a little bit but it's nice to see that many kids though yeah they have 25 kids all four only has 14 kids included up here tonight yeah they have three seniors six juniors four sophomores and one freshmen so
Yeah, there is, and I don't know if part of those guys that are suited up tonight are part of the JV program.
They may be, and there's no JV game right now, so they can suit up and suit the fight to be in the locker room for varsity, and hear all that stuff, get activated with it.
Yeah, get ready for some Thursday night lights.
Yes.
One junior that will not make it to the game tonight on to the field will be Reed Johnson for whatever reason we heard it was just that he will not suit up tonight.
He was one of their taller kids too at 6'4".
Yes.
But yeah it should be interesting to see you know we're about seven minutes before kickoff and this should be a pretty good game.
I'm looking forward to it.
I remember being back in this booth rod many years ago.
Many,
many years.
It's a little
bit of a homecoming for you.
It is kind of.
Well, this is my, I don't know what it is, the school I graduated in 1982.
You know, seems like decades ago.
It was decades ago.
Have you ever broadcast an annual football game?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, you have?
Yeah.
I used to do it with Gary Aho.
Okay.
Yeah, we did many football games here.
We did quite a bit of broadcasting.
So the whole concept of it isn't new, but it's kind of neat seeing
Not a lot has changed, you know with the concession over there the same spot
in the
field same
thing.
You know everything looks pretty much pretty much the same I'm ready.
I'm ready for some football runs.
All right Florence is in the Marinette O'Conto 8 8-man football conference and that Includes Gillett which went to a JB program, but I'll say them anyway Polina St.
Thomas Aquinas St.
Thomas Aquinas is from
Marinette, that's our combination team there, Alina and St.
Thomas Aquinas.
Niagara, Pembein Goodman, another combined school.
Wasaki and Surin, that's the MO 8.
And the Great Lakes 8th West, that I know is a member, boy, that conference expanded again.
This has to be what I think one of the toughest conferences in the state.
Go give it.
Crystal Falls Forest Park.
Ironwood.
Ish Pemming is new this year.
Lake Lindenhubble.
Municine is new this year.
Norway is new.
Antonogen and North Central.
That is a very sound crown.
But you got to bring your A-game every game.
There is no weaknesses.
Crystal Falls ones, state titles and football.
North Central has been tough.
Norway was in the semifinals last year.
So I mean this is just a tough school.
Obviously people have graduated from those programs, but still it's just that name that goes with it.
This is a tough conference.
For the top and the bottom it's going to be a very strong conference.
It's going to be an interesting season to see how these young guys where Ironwood come out and start the game tonight.
It'll be interesting to see.
I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of game plan they put together.
You know, seeing some of the young guys perform because like I said, it's one senior and five juniors and the rest are all freshmen and sophomores.
You know, I was watching them warm up and a lot of those kids that I was kind of keeping an eye on were the younger kids.
And they were doing nice patterns, catching the ball, catching it soft in their hands.
They were doing a nice job.
So we'll see.
I saw the, I was here last Friday for the scrimmage, saw a little bit of it.
It's so hard to judge on the atmosphere because you don't know what the coaches are trying to do so you don't really know what the plays are and stuff like that.
Look at the difference between the Ironwood sideline and the Florian sideline.
I know.
Almost places many players on the Ironwood sideline.
Are we getting ready for the national tournament?
Not quite yet.
Alright, so I can touch on other games going on in the with area teams.
Apparently is that Leona Webino.
Phelps is over in Three Lakes, taking on the Three Lakes Phelps Football Club.
In Wisconsin games in Michigan, fish farming is at Lake Linden Hubbell and Norway is at Municine.
Just so you know, this is the number one fight song in high school football.
I do like, I mean, I do like their fight song.
I forgot to sing it tonight.
I was going to sing it.
Yeah, that's great.
You said
that on the radio next
week.
Next time.
Well, we're back here.
Let's see, what are we here?
We're here next Friday against Lake Lyndon, I think.
Am I here?
I think so.
I think so.
I'll be a tough game next week too, but it looks like we're getting
set to the national
anthem.
Let's take a two-minute break.
We'll come back and we'll be ready for a kickoff here from here.

Nice rendition by the ironwood band as we wait for the color guard to exit the field.
A few seconds here.
I can tell you that ironwood is dressed in their dark uniforms.
Maroon jerseys, maroon pants with white numerals and maroon helmets.
Lawrence on the other side, white pants, white jerseys, green helmets.
The green numerals and the color gargles.
Thanks
for the field.
The Bobcats are coached by Candice
Smith.
Bobcats look like the Packers on their white knight Monday night uniform.
And they do the coin toss already or no?
Yes they did earlier and I think Ironwood is kicking off.
Our visuals for tonight's ball game.
Lawrence, head coach, Kevin Lane, John Sarcetti, Dave Soderbloom, Mike Nichols, Greg Hendricks, and Mark Shanks.
They are set to go, and it looks like anyone is going to receive.
Not much of a win tonight.
Well, the flag is blowing pretty good.
It looks like from the west.
So we got a little west wind coming out tonight.
Oh, good thing we're not playing west wood.
What if we were playing west wood with a west wind?
That would be, uh, we'd get tongue tied.
That would be really bad.
Oh boy.
It gets that
hold.
we
are set to go kicking towards the north end zone so Florence will be defending the south end zone ball is on the tee waiting for the signal from the rep and we are on the way here's the run-up and the kick that's not the quarterback that's number nine that's the other big kid out there
It's a little squibber that falls on the 45-yard line of the red double stick went about 15 yards and recovered.
Last week we saw Hurley doing that kind of kick when we had carried their game last week.
I mean there's just little squib kicks.
I don't know if they
They don't like kicking deep or what's going on.
Yeah, they shy away from the long returns and rely on their defense.
So kicking off was number nine, Carson Crispin.
He was 6'4".
Well, they're both 6'4".
Do you think it's because
there's only a men run?
Well, not much.
They don't cover the whole field.
I don't know.
It's just a tactic.
You hope your defense can enforce a quick 3-0 here and not give up a long return.
So, Judges.
Justinick is the quarterback, I believe, so as he turns his number, I'll see.
And that's who it is, Justinick on a keeper, and he'll get almost the first down on the first carry, up nine yards.
Well, on the left side, Trule Gallo in
there, got back up to
Justinick's
right on that
play.
Randall
Cassage, the lone senior.
At that time they put Legale in motion and he made a nice lead block out there.
Cassage would be the receiver on the right side.
They'll line up in a shotgun that looks like again.
The
other
running back
is if we
get a good look at the numbers.
Glad you could join us for football tonight.
Oh there's a busted play.
Justin tried to handle it off and the running back went the wrong way but he still picks up the first down.
Oh jeez.
Well, he made something out of nothing.
Yes.
Blake Peterson
is the other running back.
It looked like Justin turned to his left to hand off the ball and Blake Peterson ran off to Justin's right.
Justin kept it and picked up the first down and set it down for just by rushing.
So first in 10 for the Red Devils on the Florence 43 yard line.
Jeff Snack on a keeper, good run, good attack, and he's going to pick up another first down, I believe.
I think he got 10.
Yeah.
Nice running playoff.
Oh, they're saying it's a foots.
All right, give him nine yards.
I thought he got over there, but he picked up nine yards.
Make a
second in
one.
I'm showing some good running ability here.
Good.
I was just going to say a 5-7, what is he, a 5?
Six foot sophomore 190 pounds Three carries right thing
that's
Just the next little or cassettes without wide right up the other receiver here.
So as we Get through this play and this one's gonna go to this Peterson Peterson's
trying to turn the corner he did and he got he's gonna get the first down and more he's inside the 15 yard line 4-7
by number eight Luke Cedarville but not before he picks up an ironwood first
down on the 34 so it was 5 10 15 20 where they at on the 13 pick up
of
24, 21 yards.
Another
first down for the Red Dallos and they look good on this offensive drive.
Yeah, they're good blocking up front, making a hole for them and there they go.
Justin Nick and Peterson side-by-side in the backfield.
Gallagos in motion, Justin Nick's going to keep it at the middle, cuts it back to the right, looking for a block, turns the corner and now he's going to be run out of bounds.
Down inside the five-yard line.
Did he get a first down?
I think he
did.
He picked up, uh, where were they?
He picked up 12.
Yeah.
And it's first and goal on the one.
Pretty impressive drive here.
I mean, the run of the ball
is
good blocking up front.
I think the other receiver going out to the right left side is number 11.
Nope, 17.
That is
RJ Castillo, the sophomore, split out wide left.
Formation remains the same, Justin and Blake side by side.
Gala has a wing back off to the right.
Justin acts in the keeper and he is going to walk in untouched.
Number eight with the one yard run.
time 9-11 and I would put six points on the board and boy they made that drive look easy very easy was great blocking up front the whole way down we got six plays yeah six plays three first downs I believe right they get the yeah they got one inside the one yard line there yeah three first downs that's what I had buddy
yeah
that's what I
read
All right Red Devils a goal for two.
I bet you Justin that keeps it Justin I got a keeper and Oh, he may not have made this one.
Oh, he did get it.
Oh,
yeah
Thanks to two-point conversion
9-11
going first quarter with eight more jumping we'll come back in 30 seconds with the Red Devils kicked off here from Longview Field

All right, back here in Hollywood as we await Hollywood's kickoff, and it looks like number 50 will do the kicking.
That is Jenison Pisco.
Another sophomore.
Yes.
A lot of sophomores on this game.
Butters.
A lot of football left in this
game, but Kevin Lane hasn't been happy with
that first drive very much though.
Very much so.
It was all number eight.
With help, of course.
blocking with his teammates yes pretty much carried he did carry in every position there's the run-up in the kick and this is going to be a high end-over-end kick it's going to bounce at the 15 taken by Eli Marefki the 5,100 pound wide receiver
and
he'll bring it back out to the Florence
Where they gonna spot it 31 yard line, that's where the Bobcats will
start
Kevin Lane said they got to defend the long pass And we'll see what an offense Florence gives us here.
I've never seen Florence play football.
So first they say Cassitch and Legallo are back deep They got some tall guys on that line
Matt Agee has joined us in the booth here.
Here's the quarterback keeper and Mason Koski is going to pick up good yardage
there.
5
yard game there for Florence.
2nd
and 5.
Okay, Koskina and off to Marevsky and he's gonna turn the corner and get the first down and positive yardage after that inside Iowa Territory.
Ball was on the 38 and he carried it all the way to the Red Devil.
And around the iron 45 yard line, the first down to 10.
What's on that?
Yep, L.O.D.
41?
Okay.
Yeah, Alex Vorsky made the tack home.
Correction,
41 yard 9.
So he got 9, 14, got about 18, 19 yards on that carry in the first down.
First in 10 for the Bobcats is they look to the coaching staff.
Now they all look at their wrist.
All right, so that's how they do it.
They get a number from the coaching staff, then they look at their wrist.
Kasi's going to keep it, looking for
Some running room and getting in there is number 50, Jamison Pisco.
Nathan Kofi on the keeper, stopped in the backfield
by Jamison Pisco, number 50.
We'll gain on that, Kerry.
Well, I thought Bobcats had that block pretty well, but the Red Devils got in there.
Yep, they did a nice job.
Second and 10.
Ball on the Red Devils 41 yard line.
Kofi, a little in the backfield while he sent Marefsky in motion.
Ball's going to go to Koski, looking to pass, he's got receiver off to the right, overshot him and that one falls incomplete.
I
hear
the defensive coach saying
make
sure you stay home on those defensive ends because you can't commit inside because you do that and they're going to take it outside.
So now a third and ten.
That passing play was two to one for zero.
Oh that's two to one for zero.
Look at that.
You got to make the
right people coming
on and off the field over there Yeah, look at that formation.
They got trips on that side quadruples on that side.
Yeah, they got it Cosky and throw it to the coaching staff good rush by number 51.
That's
really
glad to Johnson Wow Cosky had no chance What so I don't know who's I'm not even gonna put a number down his receiver because yeah, I mean
That was kind of one of those packer plays that screen pass that never works.
They do that twice a game.
All right, so they have three linemen in front of the quarterback, and then they got three triplets on the other side.
And now we got penalty.
Should be
a penalty.
Yeah, yeah.
Penalty number one on this side.
Right in front of us.
So a five yard
penalty.
Now
make
that fourth down and fifteen.
So they got the three linemen at midfield.
They have a receiver on the left side and on the right side they had triplets on the other side.
One receiver and then both.
Both are running backs over there.
Now they're back to a traditional set here with.
Receiver stood out wide left and who's on the one who's on Back so here's a bad snap.
This is gonna go over the head of number three new quarterback in there And he's gonna run out of bounds right back there with quarterback was
Number three,
Logan McCoy.
You might have picked up.
Yeah, that ball went way over it.
So they went for it on fourth and long and turned it over on Downs.
And also Ironwood let a few big runs go at first and then all of a sudden they tightened up and they did what the coach said, stayed home on their defensive ends and made some nice plays.
How Ironwood has good field position, Rod?
The floor has had some trick formations there that didn't fool Ironwood.
Actually, I think they fooled themselves.
I think so, too.
All right, so Ironwood takes over on their own 48 yard line.
This is a better field position than they had last time.
Same formation, Justin Eckenblake, and everybody moved except the center.
Yep, center's the day.
I'm not going to snap this.
Yep, it wasn't ready yet.
It was the center because everybody said go everybody went except the center It's pretty obvious when
it
happens to you All right, they get this one Person 15 for the Red Devils ball back on their own 43 yards.
This is where they started but
First try from.
Cassage out wide.
Right.
It goes to Peterson and he'll get maybe three yards on that one.
Like
Peterson on a very stopped by number two, Nathan Toppe.
Gain another couple.
655 to go first quarter.
Eight nothing ironwood.
On a well-constructed six-play drive.
Yeah.
Time to have the ball.
Yeah, very nice drive.
couple of nice long runs a 21 yarder and a 12 yarder on that first drive for that touchdown just the sprinkling of fans over there on the foreign sideline looking into the sun just the sprinkling of fans yep not sure how many numbers a sprinkling makes but well in this case four oh there's two off to the side there's Peter Sands turns the corner one day to be
He's going to be wrapped.
He's going to get the first down.
He's inside the 30 yard line.
Beautiful run.
He did get by one more guy and just could not get the block or that.
So that was a, they were at the
46th.
Another iron ward.
Five, 10, 15, 20, 24 yards.
And another first down for him.
Beautiful blocking out there too.
Downfield blocking was pretty good.
Once he turned outside, he followed his blocking.
Those guys were downfield quick.
He just sent a six-foot 170-pound
sophomore.
The center for the Red Devils is number 55.
Isaac Fox did, or should say Plain Center, not Under Center.
Plain Center.
Justin now, I think there's a new running back there.
27 is in the adjustment.
A kind of keeper.
He'll go straight ahead.
That could be on.
No, I... He fumbled it, but they got it back, and we got it.
27 was in there.
Alex was a fumble, but it was a
soft one.
Isaac hopped, husted.
The sophomore recovered that
fumble.
Pick
up a three for Justinick on that play.
It's a second and seven.
507 to go here.
Clock running in the first quarter.
I mean we're going towards the salt end zone here along your field.
Nice crowd here on the Ayrewood sideline.
Not a packed house yet.
A lot of people stayed home to listen to us.
Oh definitely.
Yep.
Snap goes directly to Peterson and he'll push his way to the 19 yard line.
First down.
Peter's down the carry stop by number one.
He picked up a few yards, needed seven, he got eight, and that'll be another first down for the Red Devil as they continue
to move the
chains.
I like my style.
4.30 left here in the first quarter.
Got the lead, your running
game is working
and you're taking time
off
the clock.
All right, Lauren's called time out, we'll take a break as well.
4.23 to go first quarter, eight nothing, Ironwood will be back in one minute.

As we come out of the timeout, 423 to go first quarter, eight nothing red doubles, and they are on the move again.
Let's see, number 52 is in there for Ironwood.
That is Aiden A.G.
We are familiar with that family.
Oh, yes, we are.
His dad's a celebrity on WJMS.
Yes.
In fact, Aiden was a board operator for us.
He was.
Yes.
Now he's out there playing football.
Fast, they grow up.
Here we go.
First in 10.
Ball on 19-yard line.
Justin, they're going to keep it.
Looking to get outside.
Cut to the left, and he's going to be wrapped up.
Got some yardage, not one.
Maybe one yardage.
Maybe Joe two yards?
Yeah, I'll give him two.
Yeah, it looks like it.
He cut that
back, but it was a very nice tackle out there by Florence football guy number four.
It was, I think, made that tackle.
There's no number four.
I guess it wasn't him.
I guess he didn't make the tackle.
Maybe it was 24 or something?
Yeah, he had something in it.
But he was out there and he did it.
This is our first Michigan game, so we're allowed to make... Yeah, I can't see their numbers that well.
And they get up quickly too, and we don't have a monitor like to do in the pros.
This is all we're just eyeballing all this.
Justin Ek on the keeper and he's tapped up.
We waited for his blocking to develop and someone shot.
Through there, we know it wasn't number four,
because it was
number four,
right?
It
looks like he lost
three.
Makes it third in 11.
The interesting to see if they're going to pass on this now.
Aiden Agia, starting guard on the Iowa football team as dad's a celebrity, I mean.
I know, wow.
He's probably out there sliding autographs right now.
He came up here to say hi to us.
He charged us 10 bucks.
They're down and a little more than 10 but a little less than 11 Wow, is that that's precise?
That's it is.
Oh, they better hurry up on the huddle here.
They're gonna be in lay of game.
They got to get moving here They're down here.
Are you it could be in four down territory in there?
Yep.
They
you call it Joe.
I did all right
So
Kevin Lane called
the time

All right, back here along your field as Red Devils are set to run a play, third and just over 10 yards just in there.
And ball goes off to Peterson direct snap to Blake breaks one tackle and turns the corner and he is going to be close to a first down Did he cross the 10?
Yeah, he got inside the
way
inside
the 10.
He needed 10, he got about 14.
Where was the ball?
The ball was on
the 21.
Yard
line.
Give them 14 yards I think.
Beautiful running that time.
Another first down for the Red Devils and they are knocking on the door again first in goal for six.
I like the way they spread out the defense too.
Yes.
Once the receiver started going out for a pass those defenders turned their backs and then all of a sudden there comes a running back right behind it.
Just the neck and Peterson lined up side by side.
We'll put you in and Logalo took off a little early and this will cost Ironwood five yards.
That one was his fault, not the snapper this time.
Little anxious.
Little anxious there.
You wonder if the pass was going to him.
Yeah,
he's
thinking like I'm gonna catch his ball.
I gotta get
open.
That's the fastest slant I've ever seen.
See if you can beat the defender to the end zone.
So pushes the Red Devils back to the 11 now, first in goal from the 11.
Snap goes to Justinik, up the middle, takes it off to the left after he gets through the first line of defense and he's brought down inside.
He's just like around the 7 yard line it looks
like.
First by number 3 Logan McCoy.
Picked up those.
So the second down from the
So called seven yard
pick up of four yards So what is it the second and goal from the seven And we're down to a minute and fifty to go here in the first quarter That's where it doubles break the huddle same formation Peter sin Justin Nick side by side legalo in the slot cast a shell wide
Right all goes in motion just make back to pass.
He's got a guy out there caught and touchdown Oh Look at that legato that you're
at the number one blue legato is the way for an iron one Touchdown
just make a roll out to his left legato ran across the end zone
Well, he wasn't in the end zone until after he cut the ball.
You ran across, like the two-yard line, you ran straight across the field wide open at the two-yard line, low jump pass from Justin and Legalo.
Justin was in the grass with the defender too, so that was a nice pass.
Number eight to number one.
And Justin being a left-hander, that helped him a lot on that pass.
Yes, it did, because he rolled out to his left.
2 point conversion and just the next is in for two more and I know it goes up 16 and nothing here with 130 to go in the first quarter.
We'll take a 30 second break.
Come back with red double kickoff after this message.
Abelman clothing and footwear in downtown Bessemer has a large selection of six-inch and eight-inch work boots in safety toe and non-safety toe waterproof and non-waterproof styles by Red Wing, Irish Setter, Timberland Pro, Keen Utility, Carolina, and the newly added Grisport brand made in Italy.

All right,
thank you.
Yeah, I thought Legallo caught that in the end zone at first.
He just ran across the end zone.
He was at the two-yard line.
Yeah,
caught it at the two and he kept it in bounds and he made a nice two-yard run into the end zone.
All right.
Nobody was on him, though, either.
You know, I'd open.
No, he lost.
He lost the defender somewhere.
So 131 to go first quarter and the Red Devils go up 16 to nothing and they have the ball peed up on the 40-yard line.
I think the deep guy is four.
Oh,
there's a nice
kick.
It was all the way back to the five yard line.
And this will be Marefsky bringing it back, and he's going to get good yardage all the way up to the 33 yard line, cut it on the five.
And that's where the bobcats will start, first in 10.
Number
one, on their own
30 return.
32 yard line, maybe?
What
I
do like is I'll iron would stay at home on that kickoff though You saw the guys bill on this end not crashing in because you never know if he cuts back.
They got to be there All right first in ten Florence Cossky in the shotgun and what we got Do they have game or time
out?
I think seven guys on the
field.
That's it, seven.
Yep, that's what it was.
Seven guys on the field.
All right, so the coach caught it and said.
Timeout, okay, timeout.
So we'll take a 30 second break here as we're already halfway through the timeout.
We'll be back in 30 seconds.

Spot ready to come out of the timeout.
Warren's call timeout with only seven players on the field.
Figured they were at a huge disadvantage.
Yeah.
Yeah, so considering Ierwood had eighth on there.
Yeah.
A little bit of an advantage for Ierwood.
Ierwood's defense sniffed up on the second half of that first quarter drive by Florence.
We'll see what they do here now.
Luke Dieterville split out wide right.
ULMRF scale wide left.
Koski in the shotgun.
It was back to fast, looking, looking, and he's got a nice pass, but overshot his receiver.
Yeah, they try to
double.
It's not going to be fast to move here though, if they complete number 12, Rashid Diderville, 5
yards
over his head.
Well, you can see
that Kossy
does have a good arm.
Yeah, he threw that ball 40 yards, but it should have been through him 28.
Yeah, he overshot his
receiver
big time.
Yeah, they tried what?
The double move.
Double pump or whatever, double move.
Didn't fool anyone at all.
Nope.
Second and 10 for the Bobcats.
Marefsky goes in motion.
Koski gives it to Marefsky.
We'll go out the right side, down the floor in five lines, and he picked up probably about five minutes.
He ran
Marefsky on the carry force up on line number one
through Legalo.
Uh-oh, somebody's hurt over there, I think.
Looks like we've got an official time out here.
We'll see.
Hope he's getting up.
Look all those slow to get up.
I don't know if he's got to come off now.
Did they stop the game because of that?
Yes, they got to take him out.
Okay.
Burning off on his own power.
Castage will come in for him.
I think I gave him more than I should have there.
I think he only got about three yards.
It's 3rd and 7th.
minute 10 left here in the first quarter higher with all the
points 35 yards line third down and seven
normal rescue lines up behind Koski who stays in the shotgun and he's going to draw ironwood offside
55
jumped offside for ironwood yep not a good play get some five extra yards
makes it now a
third down and two.
A
little more manageable for the bobcats here.
The four yard line.
Let's see who the other running back is there for the bobcats.
And I'm not number three.
That is Logan McCoy.
Could be a direct snap to McCoy.
And it is McCoy.
Pitch it back to Morowski looking for...
Some running room, and you will get close to the first down.
Yeah, very nice tackle that time by Randall Casting.
Yeah, and Maratheon, the carry is stopped by number 12, Randall Casting.
They're saying first
down, he needed... Well, I have a Maratheon game, just enough for a first down for about that.
That five yard penalty.
That's on the 43 yard
line.
Penalty's hurt.
47 seconds to go here.
First in 10 bobcats on their own 43 yard line.
Rapsky goes in motion and we got...
All start
coming out of the
bobcat.
Didn't see who moved twice.
I don't know where any back went
in
motion.
I
think it was the right guard that time.
Just
landed.
So first in 15 for the bobcats.
Koski alone in the backfield.
Marefski goes in motion.
Koski takes the handoff, and we've got a flag.
We've got a guy wide open and over.
Yeah.
The receiver running, who got the end of defense, was loaded with four.
They flag on the plate.
Legal shift.
Yep.
Another five yard penalty against
Lauren.
No, I think they're going to decline it.
With a legal shift on the box hat,
Now they will decline.
Take the down.
It doesn't hurt you.
Nice to see Legallo back in there after getting bumped up a little bit on the sidelines there for a couple plays.
Second in 15, ball on the floor and 38 yard line.
38 seconds, 33 seconds, 34 seconds, I'll get it right.
34 seconds to go.
Asiana Keeper breaks one tackle and then he's wrapped up and he's going to lose yardage.
Two good tackles there,
50.
Well, Aiden Aegee had the first hit in the backfield and then Pisco cleaned it up.
Good defensive play.
Now they're just going to end the first quarter looks like, Ron.
They will let the clock run out.
It looks like you're right, Joe.
And that will do it.

Come in and see, there is a difference.
Dr. Jacobs and Dr. Albinin are licensed general dentists.
All right, back here at Longyear Field as we are set to start quarter number two.
I heard out in front 16 to nothing.
Florence facing a third and 15 from their own 43 yard line.
Florence only ran 10 plays in that first quarter.
Looks like I would ran 15 plays.
So Florence will be going towards the south end zone here.
Osceola in the shotgun.
They face third
and 15.
The
receiver is still not wide right is Carson Crisman.
There's a double reverse and this goes to number eight and he's got some running room and he will pick up the first down unless he was pushed out of bounds over there.
Let's see where they mark it.
He did not get the first down, but it's going to be fourth and short.
That was number eight, Luke Dieterbill on the carry.
Gain a 14 on the play.
They'll
make
it fourth down.
Fourth and about one.
Florence.
Tough call here for the Bobcats trailing 16 to nothing facing a fourth and one on the on the ironwood 48 yard line if they don't make this it'll get the Red Devils excellent field position Here we go Koski alone in the backfield And up goes to number one.
Can he get there?
She can with second effort Needed one he got about four that was a Refki Eli Marefki on the carry
Not by a group of Red Devils.
Third, first down for the Bobcats.
First down is ten for four at the
Ironwood 46 yard line.
First and ten Bobcats at the Red Devil 46 yard line.
And a couple guys shifting in and out here for the Bobcats.
Well, after that penalty they got that first down so...
It's a big, uh, big drive here for the Bobcats, though, Rob.
Well, if this is Koski at quarterback or not, is that number two or number three?
Three.
He passed on the sideline and went to Koski, brought it to himself, and he's going to score.
Ball was over his head, went up 6-5, he managed to tip it up in the air, and then he ran under it.
Yep, and that time,
A couple of defensive backs just stood still and let him run right by him before they started moving and that hurt.
That's what the coach said at the beginning of the game though.
Gotta stop him from that deep pass and he just ran right down field and tipped it to himself and in for the touchdown.
That kid had a nice pass though.
That was a pretty nice spiral.
It was.
That was Logan McCoy who was then lining up as the wide receiver.
So that was a wide receiver throwing the ball to the quarterback.
What was he gonna kick?
Isn't it wide?
Oh, we got it.
We're at
a
tough angle, yeah.
Well, Florence going to touchdown on a... How many yards was that pass play?
46 yard pass play.
So Florence put 7 on the board and with 11-19 to go second quarter, Ironwood's 16, Florence 7, we'll be back in 30 seconds with Florence kickoff.
When getting the job done right is job one.

All right, back here in Ironwood, 16-7, Fred was out in front and Bobcats will kick off.
Let's see what kind of kick off they're going to have this time.
They kind of split the first one.
This one is going to be, again, it looks like an onside kick.
And we see a recovery covered by... I don't think he came down in balls though, do you?
Let's see.
I think he did.
I think he did.
Are they...
Well...
Honestly, this is recovered by the Bobcat.
Wow.
They gave no indication.
I didn't see what he pointed at.
Gary was 49 yard wide.
I thought he came down out of bounds when he caught the ball.
It looked to me like he came down in balance, but I didn't see any indication from the referees to signal that, so I was unsure of myself.
Yeah, they're gonna hit the Florence.
That was...
Number nine doing the kicking was Carson Crispin in the quarterback.
Meason Koski is the one that was right there.
Perfect bounce on that onside kick.
Bounce right up to Koski.
So first and 10 Florence on the Red Devil 49 yard line.
This is number eight going around the left corner and he's dragged down out of bounds.
That is number 15, Jamison
Pisco.
Gain of a yard will make it second out in nine
Second in nine ball and I would 48 yard length don't let these receivers get behind me now pay attention Ball is in the shaded area the only shaded area Pretty much in the on the field that's coming from the press boxes in the way So second in nine
The
pass and you got a guy out there overshot the receiver.
That was good coverage that time.
This was number, this was Koski throwing it to number.
Kasich had great coverage that time,
right?
Yep, he ran stride for stride with him, a nice job that time.
And Kasich is six foot tall, so not much of a height advantage for that guy over on that side.
Not that side, no.
Turns
up third down and nine.
Let's see if Florence wants to keep this passing attack going.
Cosby was lined up way deep, and here's a pass intercepted by Cassage.
Yep, beautiful play.
And Cassage with the interception played that perfectly.
And Ironwood will take over first in 10 on their own 44 yard line.
Passes with excellent pass defense on that play.
Yeah, that was beautiful coverage and read it nice.
It made a nice catch and Ironwood's got good field position now.
So with 10.58 to go here second quarter leading 16 to 7, the Red Devils excellent field position as they know.
Go towards the north end zone here.
Eh, along your field.
This is Justin, if it is.
Go around the left side, he's going to get inside.
Yup.
Six yards.
Justin, come on, Gary.
Inside Warren's territory to the 49.
All
five.
Picked up six, brings up a second and four.
Second down in five.
We'll have our smart choice of the game as we scheme.
continues on.
We'll keep our eyes open for what we feel is a smart choice.
Smart choice of the game is brought to you by Northwood Technical College.
And if you're looking to make a smart choice in your future, please consider contacting the fine folks at Northwood Technical College and make a plan for your future.
They are located in Ashland on Beezer Avenue right next to the Ashland High School.
This is Peterson.
Up the middle,
he got to the races at 30, 25, 20, 15, 10, 5, not that close,
not about the
6th yard line.
Wow, beautiful run that type.
So there's 10, number 4 on the gallery, 4th of those by number 1, Eli Rocky, but not the 4th.
He gave the 9 runs first
down.
That'd be a 38 yard pick up if they're going to, let's see where they spot it before I say that.
Yeah, it's going to be on both of them.
I don't know, I would feel 407.
seven-yard land ball was on the 46 39-yard pickup and we have an injured player for Florence and he's up on his feet didn't help off Phil I don't think there's going to be is there a timeout here well injury timeout maybe I don't know if there yeah it looks like he twisted his ankle a little bit there that's number one that's their what's one of their top running backs yeah
It's going to be a blow to their offense.
More football tomorrow night from Wakefield as the North Central Jets take on the Glugivik minors.
Randy Charles will be with me in Wakefield.
That's an early start.
No lights at the Wakefield field, so it'll be a five o'clock kickoff.
We'll be on the air at 4.45.
Joining Randy and myself for football on Friday, Friday Night Life.
Yeah, well Friday night.
Oh What do you gain on that rod then these down to the 38 give him 30 Give him 38 yards in the first down.
I think it's on the 7 yard line straight ahead Justin Eck pauses way forward and carries a guy to the
One yard line, so another
six yards for Justin at line number
three, Logan McCoy.
And it'll be second in goal from
the one yard
line.
I know we're looking very, very good tonight.
Yeah, beautiful running game.
Yes, that one mistake and letting that guy get behind him here in the first half, but otherwise playing a real nice game.
Yep.
Second and goal from the looks like it spotted about the two-yard line Just the next straight ahead.
He's walks in.
Yep.
Very easy and just Nick with
a
yard run
and six more on the board
With 9 20 to go second quarter It's now 22 to 7 22 7 at your lunchtime isn't it you
Time for your snack, 22 to
17.
Yeah, I think I need a cookie over there.
I can see a cookie calling my name.
There's a lot of cookies over there,
a
lot of water and a lot of soda.
I'm going to go for two.
Justin
Nick.
Waits for the snap.
Wrapped up in the backfield, turns the corner and he will walk in.
Justin Nick with two point conversion and that makes it 24 to 7.
Two point conversion in Red Devils.
With 9.20 to go here, second quarter, we'll take a 30 second break.
Come back to the red double kickoff after this
message.
Like Patsy Klein's ballot, like that fish that walks on land, like Mike the Headless Chicken.
This is crazy.

Maybe I can get Hits fine furniture to bring us a recliner.
Oh yes.
Those kind of lifts you up
a
little bit.
All right, got the ball teed up.
The ball is not upright on that tee.
I'm expecting a scoop kick here or something.
No, he's going to get up in the air.
I'm surprised the way that thing was set up.
Here's down to number three.
That's
McCoy.
And he's wrapped up.
Back on the 30 yard line.
That was a beautiful hit.
Logan McCoy on the return, spot by number
12, Randall Casagin, 8.
So the ball.
Bobcats will take over first in ten on their 30-yard line and honey milk I Didn't bring any milk.
No.
Nope.
Well, if somebody was riding by the stadium and could just run in here with it Court of milk We could dunk these cookies and milk.
Yeah
Like an M&M.
Oh man another one
my
favorite all right first in ten Bobcats
Koski fixed and off keeper the lunge forward lowers that six five frame just by doing that he picks up two yards I'll tell you those boys inside there for Red Devils number 51 Landon Johnson number 55 Isaac Hope Hope said that Thank you and also a pistol
So they do a nice job inside.
Here's the play they scored on.
They got Koski split out wide right.
And the Gallo at 5-10, guarding the 6-4 receiver.
Let's see what this play is.
This may be a pass down the right side.
Looks like McCoy at quarterback.
Good snap.
Koski goes across the middle.
They're going to air it out here on the right side.
And it's all through the hands of number eight.
Luke Deetherville, he had it and just could not hang on
to
it.
Let them get a little bit behind you.
You got to keep that guy running.
They used the sidelines as another defender, you know.
Koski ran across the middle on that, drew the defense to him and then the running back Deetherville could not
Kept the ball.
45 is not sure where he's supposed to be.
He's running around
there.
He's
running off the field on the field.
Yep.
Now he's lined up as a tight end on the other side.
I think he's a tight end.
Yeah.
No, he'd
be a...
Is he a tackle over there?
I think he's a tackle.
There's a
bubble screen and it's caught by Dieterville.
That is complete number eight, Dieterville.
Thirty-four forty yards for William Harrison.
Sixty-one in plays, seven-twenty-eighteen yards pick up and another first down for the Bobcats.
Yeah, they got some tricky formations and, uh, Ironwood having a little trouble, uh, they've got all manned over
here.
They had
four offensive players, only two defenders on this side.
Number three in the ball game now is William McCleary.
And this is Kosti on the keeper and he picks up, oh, two yards.
Kosti on the carry stop by number 50, James DeVisco, visited by 27, Alex DeVorsi.
I wonder how many tackles Pisco has.
We
need a defensive scat person here.
Set up behind us and chart tackles himself.
Because he's made quite a few tackles.
Second and eight for the Bobcats inside Red Devil Territory now at the 47 yard line.
This is number three at the quarterback loading the core
and cost the out wide right.
He's going to take off down the sideline.
Caught it at about the 41, broke a tackle, broke another tackle and now he's going to get down inside the 35 yard line down to the 41, yes.
That pass was kind of high where only he could go up and get it.
Yeah, he
is a 6-4
big
guy.
And I think it's a good defensive adjustment right now from coach Lane, taking out Legalo.
When that guy comes out and matches up on him, he's got the height advantage.
So right now, putting in number 12, Kasich who's 6 feet.
And now number nine is out there.
He's just as tall.
He's 6'4".
That's Carson Christman.
I wonder what their basketball team's going to look like.
He's got some height on this football team.
There's a handoff to Koski.
He turned the corner, but he's run out of balls.
He's got a couple yards.
Gary, fourth set off by number 51, Landon Johnson.
Number eight was quarterback, Luke Dieterville was the quarterback.
Caught it, just got the snap and handed it off to Kossy right away.
One yard for Kossy on that carry.
Mel Kossy is going to move out to a wide receiver on the right side.
McCoy's going to play quarterback.
And they got everybody set.
McCoy shotgun by himself in the backfield Good snap back to pass.
He's looking looking looking nobody open.
He's under a heavy rush Loss of yardage.
Yeah, they do at the cost.
You just throw that in the ground Yeah, exactly throw that at speed completing that pass for a negative.
He is complete That's
five yards on that Yep, they call a timeout end up being a loss of play
Time out.
We'll take one as well.
633
the
goal
second quarter.
Iowa 24, Florence 7.
We'll be back in one minute.

Bobcat's facing a third and 15 ball on the Red Devil 36 yard line.
And McCoy, no, Koski's back at quarterback.
Back to pass under a rush, he's going to air it out there, he's got a guy open and he caught it inside the five.
That is number one.
Oh, that number one is back in the ballgame.
Yeah, Morefki, I didn't even see him come in.
Morefki is complete.
Wow.
From
the 36,
down to... Where are they?
At the 2.
2?
34 yard pass?
At
the
2
yard line.
At the 1st down, that's the 3rd 1st down passing.
They got 3 by passing, 3 by rushing.
That was a good coverage actually.
You threw it right over the shoulder as a defender.
Beautiful catch, beautiful pass.
Can you do that?
falling backwards a little bit too.
He's under a heavy
rush.
Let's carry the ball.
Florence.
Well, Koski was under center.
That's why he didn't see him.
First time he went under center.
Koski with the carrying
forward and
touchdown.
Koski scores and that makes it 24 to 13.
Let's see what the boxcats want to do last time.

All right, back here along your field.
Warren's getting set to kick off.
Person
Christen will have the ball teed up.
Last time he kicked an onside kick and recovered it, so this time higherwood's got... Actually Kosti's doing the kicking.
Kosti at the run up, he's going to boot this one.
And this is gonna go over the head and I believe number one caught it didn't you know no what over okay the momentum took it into the end zone so they're gonna say it's down Balls gonna come out to the 20 visit the 20.
Well, we're gonna find out We don't see a lot of kicks in the end and high school football.
Yep Yep, that's where they're gonna mark it back deep for iron with that time was true legato That was a strong kick I
was
First on 10 for the Red Dolls at the 20 yard line.
Ironwood with 5.57 to go.
This is their worst starting position.
Yeah, 20 back on their own 20.
And they have two timeouts left, right?
We
just have to guess.
Well, they used one.
That would be two.
Oh, Fumble on the backfield, and I believe, I mean, wow, wow, that would have been a game changer.
Oh, the
play
ripped off
by the Red Devil.
So a loss of five on that play.
Getting back on that
ball was
big.
I think Justinick fell on that.
Wasn't it?
Or did you see somebody else?
Peterson, Peterson fell on it.
Okay.
Blake Peterson got that.
Second
in 15 now for the Red Devils.
Well, you don't want to turn over back on your own territory like that.
Pretty much controlling this
game.
Peterson
and Justin Ek, and the ball is going to go to Peterson looking for rumor on the right side, wrapped up, and may have got back to the original way of scrimmage.
Like Peterson on the carry,
See if he got five.
No, looks like he only got about two maybe.
Two on the play.
Third down and long for the right double.
Third and 13.
We might,
we might see our first punt.
Yeah, hoping they get this first down.
I don't know if they're going to go to the pass play or they've been running the ball pretty well.
So if you spread them out wide, get those defensive ends, everybody else wide.
You got some good running backs there.
You can get this first down running.
That's about wide left is RJ Castile.
You're saying Justin X side by side and the ball goes to Justin Nick and he's hit and wraps up immediately.
He takes the hand off and then he was
hit.
He might have lost more yards.
Look at the arm movement at that.
Lost about three so makes it fourth and 14.
And
Cassage will be back in fun formation
350
to
go second quarter 24 to 13
Bobcat defense
Tough
on that series Cassage is a ball over the head of Cassage.
He's gonna go down into the end zone.
That's
gonna be a
We'll take a 30
second
break 24 to 15 back in 30 seconds

Okay, back here along your field wall, a high snap over the head of punter Randy Ca...
Passage, roll back into the end zone, Randall.
Right.
Like you said, Randy, didn't it?
It's Randall.
Randall, smartly, like you said, fell on it to
at least give up two points
rather than give up six or touch
them because the Florence guys were coming in
fast.
The kickoff will come now from the 20 yard line.
This looks like a left-footed kicker.
I think he's off to the left side.
Who's this kicker?
33?
I can't see his number.
No, it's not 33.
50?
Is it Pisco?
That's pretty nice.
End over and kick.
Taken by Moreski at the 37s inside and we're
going to have a
penalty called... Yep.
Well you can see his ankle is bothering him.
He quit running because his ankle... Now he's limping off the field.
Moreski on the return stop by playing 7 out with Moreski.
We have a flag on the play.
He got it down to the 30.
Six yard line of the red that was but there's a flag back out of up to 50 yard line Yeah, and the moraski quit running at about the 40 yard One of the big things you saw back here, too the holding on Florence the guys already ran past him He didn't need to grab his jersey and hold him, but he did and because of The guy was running the putt kick out back the receiver was already past them
Holding
on Florence
So
it's
not a spotball.
That's a big
field.
So that's where the holding was back at the 45 here.
Well, why is it at the 50 then?
I don't know.
Do
they... I'm not sure if it's... I thought it was... That's what I thought.
All right, here we go first in 10 ball right at the 50 yard line Cossky there.
No, this is a
This is
McCoy
She's
McCoy with the pass to Deeterville and it's caught and then we'll receive Joe whatever it's gonna be a 15 yard penalty personal Paul hitting about a bounce Deeterville we have playing a play for Late hit out of the family on the right level
15
yards.
Yep, can't make those mistakes.
Now you put them right back where they ran the kickoff back.
Well, even 10 yards beyond that.
Yeah.
The ball first down in 10th for Florence at the I-Wood 30 yards
left.
Penalty by first down by Penalty.
Florence coming alive here in the second quarter.
321 left.
I-Wood still up 24 to 15.
McCoy stays at quarterback.
Koski split out wide right.
McCoy alone in the backfield.
Under a heavy rush and he's knocked to the ground by Pisco.
Is that Pisco?
Yep.
Pisco.
And that
was the point is passed in the backfield by number 50,
Jameson.
Rod,
that was huge.
Nobody was guarding the Whiteout.
I saw that.
Yeah.
Nobody was on him.
There was one guy out there.
Cassage was out there and he took the guy cutting across the middle.
And I don't know why he didn't throw the ball.
He was looking that way and he didn't throw the ball.
It was a loss of nine.
Yep.
Little second in 19 now for the Bobcats.
Yeah, I saw the same thing you saw, Joe.
You see where it was wide open.
He just kept backing up.
I don't know what he was waiting for on that
play.
Look away.
It's going to air it out.
This could be intercepted and it
is by Justin
X. Good
play by
Justin X.
Beautiful play.
Good coverage and Judd recognized that the ball was going to be under thrown.
Beautiful play that time.
Big defensive
stand.
Ball
was intended for Crispin and Justinik with the interception.
That's the second interception for the Red Devils.
Yeah, Jamison Pisco was almost going to have another sack.
Two twenty-seven to go second quarter.
Two timeouts left.
Twenty-four to fifteen.
Well, this is where the Red Devils were a few minutes ago and they kind of went backwards.
So first and ten Red Devils ball on the
15 yard
line.
Justin, Nick, and Peterson, and this is Peterson.
Got a hole up the right side.
One going to beat at the
first base.
Peterson at the 50, 45, 40, and Braco inside flooring.
35 yard line.
Beautiful block in the front that time.
Beautiful run.
That'll change momentum.
35 to the 50, 45.
September E, looks like a 51 yard run.
Another first down for the Red Devils, well that's how you get out of a hole.
That's how you change momentum on the ball game.
And I'll tell you what, Rod, number eight for them, Dieterville, did an excellent job chasing them down though because that could have easily been six points.
That was a 51 yard run.
First in 10 for the Red Devils on the Florence 34 yard line.
This is Justin Erick, breaks the tackle, gets into the second level and brought down at the 30 yard line, picked up a little four, a minute 46 to go here.
Red Devils with two time off.
First down will stop the
clock.
Second and six.
Clock running with a minute 30 left
in the...
That was
taking their time in the huddle time on me down here Just a neck and Peterson lined up side-by-side the Gallo in the slot Goes to Peterson right side.
He's gonna get the first down down the sidelines and he's gonna be locked up man Nice run the same play they just ran.
Yeah
They found a weak spot on that left side of the defensive line.
They picked up the 25 yards on that carry.
And there'll be another first foul for the Red Devils.
They're knocking on the door.
Big time.
The Florence 5 yard line with 107 to go here in the second quarter.
What do we got there for?
What is that 20?
The carry?
Yeah.
25 yards.
25 yards.
I got
this little beam
in front of me.
I don't see a beam there.
What do you mean?
It's there.
Did you mark the first down?
Yeah.
Okay, just checking.
Peterson
touched down.
That's a bad snap.
Peterson picked him up off the ground.
And he watched in pretty much on touch.
And just like that, I hear what answers.
Yeah, big touchdown.
Number four with a five yard run.
Four ran for five for six.
Yep.
And that was Blake Peterson pretty much carrying the load on that He had a run of 51 yards a run of 25 and then the touchdown from six yards So beautiful job two-point conversion here.
Let's get this And that was a go for two Peterson

your friends down at Marthaler Hanatoyota.

At Marthaler-Honitode of Ashland, we're just like to view the sale is superior.
All right, back here at Longyear Field, 32 to 15 Ironwood up.
As we are at the one minute mark of the second quarter.
And Fisco has the ball teed up.
Now, deep for the Bobcats is number eight, Luke Deederville.
The Bobcats will get the ball in the second half.
Yes.
They get the ball.
Here's the run-up and the kick.
High end over end kick.
Come down to Deederville at the 20 yard line, 25-30 and he is... Nice job.
Beautiful job.
Let's see what we got there.
We got three or four Red Devils down there.
Beautiful job.
Deederville on return.
He's first in 10 block lead.
We got Katsich with the tackle.
We got also
Well three or four guys.
It's hard to pick up numbers.
It is real quick.
It is.
Like I said, this beam.
It's hard to pick up tackler.
They just they jump off that pile and they throw it out and you don't know which one's actually on the tackle and it's even harder sometimes to figure out who recovered the fumble.
Yeah.
Don't let anybody get behind you now.
All right, Koski split out wide right.
McCoy is the quarterback and looks like
Crispin might be the receiver on the left side.
There's the staff to McCoy.
And they're heavy rush and caught by McCoy, but he's tackled it away.
Very nice play.
That's a complete two-copy, going down by number one through the goal and 17 RJ Castillo.
This
is the four-yard game.
Did you see what happened there on that defensive play?
They put Castillo kind of helping him on this side over here.
So once he caught that pass, he was right there to make the tackle.
He's going back to pass, looking, looking, looking, and under shot is one receiver, one receiver and three defenders.
Somebody else from the court had to be open.
I heard we had three guys on number eight.
But the rush is getting there tonight too.
They're doing a nice job of rushing.
Putting pressure on this quarterback.
I can see I'm gonna run out of room here on the passing sets.
I've only got Four spots left.
I'm at the tele Florence coach.
That's it.
No more passing.
Yeah, I think you should get on it.
I think you should go down to half time and tell him for me Third down in about six pass over to this man and Christmas gonna I thought he was gonna pick up the first down the passage said no way that was beautiful Wow.
Yeah,
what I hit
but he stopped short of the first time on my number 12, brand new package.
Who called time out, or what are they doing here?
Is that, um, did I ever call time out?
No, I don't think anybody called time out.
I don't know why they stopped the clock.
Is he out of, maybe he was out of bounds.
Maybe you can help.
Nope.
That's what Lane is asking, what's
going?
Okay, I know it's gonna call time.
I'm
not sure what happened He must have been he must they must have called the timeout and they didn't see it or okay are the I don't know okay, so 14 seconds to go 32 to 15.
I think I'd start the clock right now Florence has a fourth and one I Don't know what that was really though.
I think they must have called timeout That's what I'm thinking After that play and then the clock ran a little bit.
Yeah, the rest
of
the time.
Yeah, yeah
because the refs didn't notify up here right away.
So here's my prediction, the old hook and ladder.
The old hook and ladder play coming up by Florence.
Well I don't really think they care if they're going to throw an interception here because there's 14 seconds left, but I or would could return it for a touchdown, but I think right now you've got to have four guys back, four guys rushing, and that's about it.
Give them a shot underneath, but I like what you called right there.
That would be a neat play.
a tricky play to call it right now.
Koski is going to line up at the quarterback.
He's got Crispin out wide right.
And it looks like number nine is, no, Crispin's on the left.
That means Dieterville's on the right.
You have three guys that are 6'4".
They all same kind of body size.
Koski alone in the backfield.
A little swing pass.
Well, it's kind of looking
louder.
He didn't even get the first down.
Yep, but he's out of bounds.
So, 2-2.
That's complete, but it has stopped short.
First down.
2 went to 8, and I don't think they meant to put it down.
I think they lost
the yard.
First down is
10.
Iron
one.
What was I going to do?
Go for it.
Go for it, why
not?
They've been running the ball like crazy, so I just throw a little screen pass out to Peterson and let him run with a few blockers.
I don't think they need a screen pass.
He's been so successful running up the right side.
They may have run that same play.
Well, they got a safety guy back there.
Yeah, they got three.
Yeah.
Peterson, Justin Knack in the backfield.
Ball's going to go low snap to Peterson.
There he goes off the right side.
Just like I said, Joey's got room to run, but now he's going to run into a couple of guys in white jerseys, and that won't do it.
No, one second.
One second.
Oh, all right.
It is on the carry stop by number 24, Oliver Church.
From the 41, it was quickly called down to the 25, so it's a pickup of 16.
And another first down for the Red Devils.
Yeah.
Oh yeah, I marked that.
They should,
yeah, you're forgetting to mark those first up.
Yeah, that's why I keep bringing them up.
I know, I hear you.
I say they kick a field goal.
See what Pisco's got, right?
The
kickoffs
were going
pretty good.
Yeah, I probably could kick it.
I think they're just gonna... Oh, we don't know.
We'll see.
They got to have something up their sleeve for this.
One second left.
One second left.
Yep.
Let's see if Kevin's got a trick play in his back pocket.
That is a pre-vent.
They got two linemen rushing.
They got three linebackers, about ten yards beyond the ball, and then they got three guys at the five yard line.
So, Lawrence is basically saying, find an opening, they're not to ask.
Oh boy, oh
boy.
Cassage out wide left.
Justin Eck and Peterson, Justin Eck's going back to pass.
They tried, that was going to be a hook and ladder.
Yep, that was going to be it.
Ball was thrown underneath the cabbage and it bounced in front of them and then they had a true legato coming Look at the letter play.
It did not work.
We're at halftime with the score.
Ironwood 32, Lawrence 15.
We'll take a five-minute break.
I believe the MHSAA halftime thing will be on and then we'll come back with stats, comments and
Whatever
after that.
Back in fire.
Grand Rapids was the officiating capital of the world for one day and we introduce a new series on why officials officiate.
I'm John Ross and this is this week in high school sports powered by the Michigan Achievement Scholarship and coming to you from the 1-800-CALL-SAM studio.
In late July, about 1,000 MHSAA registered officials attended Officiate Michigan Day at DeVos Place in Grand Rapids.
Some of the biggest names and officiating from across the country were on hand to lead discussions, workshops and training sessions.
The two keynote speakers were Mike Pereira, a former college and NFL official who is now the TV Rules Analyst for Spock Sports, and Kerry Seitz, the current vice president of refereeing for U.S.
Soccer and the former FIFA head of refereeing.
Seitz is also a graduate of Brighton High School and Michigan State University.
Officiate Michigan Day was designed to benefit officials with any level of experience, veteran to beginner.
High-profile clinicians representing several sports in all levels including the NFL, NBA, MLB, NCAA, FIFA, and the National Women's Soccer League provided face-to-face training during four sport-specific breakout sessions throughout the conference.
This was the third Officiate Michigan Day joining events in 2013 and 2018 and for more check out the officials page at mhsa.com
It's time for game balls when we highlight a trio of standout performances from the past week.
We lead things off with the volley turf takeover at Lansing Catholic where Williamson and Lansing Catholic both won volleyball matches played outside on the Cougars football field.
Elliott Bigger had a goal and to assist in Traverse City Christians win over Manistee, the first standalone boys soccer game for Traverse City Christian.
Previously, they had been in a co-op with T.C.
St.
Francis.
and a Hart Jr.
Silas Ackley, he led a trio of pirates in the top 10 as Hart came in first at the Pete Moss Cross Country Invite.

Our weekly Be the Referee feature takes a look at the fine art of officiating with MHSAA registered official Paige Winnie.
We're on the football field today where the offense has the ball on their own 20-yard line.
It's third and 10.
They run a draw play with the running back getting nine yards before fumbling at the 29-yard line.
The fumbled ball goes forward to the 35-yard line before another offensive player recovers.
Where should the ball be marked?
Because the ballers were covered in bounds, it's first down for the offense at the point of recovery, the 35-yard line.
If the ball had rolled out of bounds at the 35-yard line before anyone could recover it, it would have been brought back to the spot of the fumble, the 29-yard line, making it fourth and one for the offense.
Thanks, Paige.
There are lots of reasons to get in and stay in officiating.
Each week, we hear from a current or former official in a segment called What's My Why.
This week, we hear from Mike Pereira, who is currently the Football Rules
Analyst for Fox Sports.
I didn't want to officiate when they first came to me.
I said, no.
I said, no.
My dad would officiate.
That's a why.
I said, I don't have any desire to.
And they said, well, why?
I said, because I don't.
Well, your dad officiated.
Well, maybe that's it.
I used to go to games and watch him get yelled at.
But it's $10 a game.
It's $10 a game on Sunday, three games, $30 cash.
I was a college student with no money.
I said, I always thought I wanted to officiate.
And out I went, and it was kind of interesting that that first quarter of the first game, the first Pop Warner game, first quarter, parents yelling at me, I didn't know what the hell I was doing.
Kids, little kids running around.
And it was like somebody injected me with adrenaline.
I found my passion in life.
As stupid as that may be sound, I found my passion in life.
Now more than ever, we need officials.
If you're interested, go to the MHSAA website now to register and to check out other What's My Wise.
You've been listening to this week in high school sports powered by Michigan's Student Aid, a production of the MHSAA network.
Thanks for joining us here in the 1-800 Call Sam Studio.
I'm John Ross, and we'll be back next week.
All right, back here along your field, we are at halftime with the score.
The Red Devils 32, and the Horns Bobcats 15, taking a look at stats, first of all, for Florence.
Not much doing for them.
They had success on one pass play that led to a touchdown.
In the running game, let's see, Mason Koski has seven carries for 11 yards.
Eli Morepski had four carries for 33 yards.
Logan McCoy has two carries for minus six yards.
And number eight, Luke Peterville, two carries for 15 yards.
That's 15 carries on the ground for 53 yards.
They were nine out of 17 passing for 121 yards.
174 yards total offense for the Bobcats.
They also had one, two, three penalties, which cost them 20 yards, three first downs by passing, three by rushing, and one by penalty.
And that are the stats for the Bobcats.
For Ironwood, Judd Justinik.
14 carries for
87 yards and Blake Peterson has 10 carries for 221 yards.
Those were the only ball carriers.
Or Ironwood was either Peterson or Justin.
That's 15 carries.
24 carries on the ground for 308 yards.
and one for two in the passing game for a seven-yard touchdown pass.
So adding another seven yards, that's 315 yards total offense for the Red Devils.
Two interceptions by the Red Devils, one by Randall Cassett, the other one by Justin Neff.
The Red Devils have nine first downs by rushing and I don't think they got any by passing.
pretty much domination right now by the Red Devils.
Joe made his way down to the professional stand and making his way back up here.
That's why it's only one voice right now.
Are you doing a good job?
Offensively and defensively.
Lawrence got some bigger bodies out there but they're doing a good job.
Jameson Pisco having a great first half here in a numerous tackle.
I kind of wish we were charting tackles but we just don't have
They don't have the capabilities to do all
that.
Good timing then.
Did you hear her over there?
Well, I heard a little bit.
She's going off on that, uh, what do you call a song?
You guys play this too.
Oh, is that Waipo?
Yeah.
Oh yeah, I see you're doing that, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
And she is pretty good, yeah.
Oh.
I'm sure the listening audience can hear her.
Yeah, doing a great job.
I ain't even talk during that.
Yeah.
Very good.
I did the statutory already.
Did you?
Take away my glory.
Hang on.
Nice rendition of the white ball.
Very good job.
Not D white ball.
I got you.
Yeah,
I did
your stats.
I did the totals.
But I got 315 yards total offense for the Red Bells compared to 174 by the Bobcats.
And about 60 of it or 70 of it was that pass play
that they
had.
Yeah, that one long pass play.
So I earned with the lead 32 to 15 here at halftime.
They were taking a look at scoring summary.
Ironwood scored first 9-11.
They had the ball.
They gave it to Justin next six times, I believe.
And he took it the distance.
He forgot how long of a run or how long the drive was.
About 60 yards, maybe?
Yeah,
with six plays
for... Yeah, you're right on cue, buddy.
Was it on the 40 yard line?
9-4, 9-11 to go in the first quarter.
They put six points on the board.
Two point conversion was good.
and then they had a pass.
Justin hit two legalo on the two-yard line on the third and seven from the third goal from the seven.
Legalo caught it, the two walked in.
They were with a 16-0 lead.
Florence got on the scoreboard with a 46-yard pass with 11-19 to go in the second quarter.
Kick for extra point was good and at that point it was 16-7 with 11-19 to go.
in the second quarter.
Ironwood, Justin with a two-yard run at the 9-20 mark of the second period.
Six more for the Red Dello.
They put the two-point conversion also good and they went up 24-7.
Florence answered with a two-yard run by Mason Koski.
Kick was blocked, made a 24-13 and Ironwood on a bat snap on a punt.
The passage went back to the end zone, fell on the ball, it was a safety for Florence, made it 24 to 15, and then on a nice, nice drive to recover after that.
That was just a bad drive when they, they lost yarders and
they had
a bad snap on the punt.
But they recovered Peterson, would he go 46 yards on that one run late in the second quarter?
Yeah, 51
yards.
51 yards gave Arnie Wood, really flipped the field at that point,
and
Arnie Wood took it in.
Peterson ran it in from five yards out with one minute to go in the second quarter and the two-point conversion was good and that's where we stand now 32 to 15 and I think Kevin Lane has to be pretty happy.
I think so too Rod the very nice first half offense was almost flawless I mean they had that one drive like you said that's kind of went backwards and they had but otherwise I'll tell you what their offense is having a real nice day 315 yards total
in the first half, so that's a nice first half of football.
That's a nice game for some teams.
It is, you know.
Yes, it
is.
And you know, as we were doing the Hurley game last week, we talked about their running game and this Ironwood running game is doing spectacular tonight.
And when you think about the youth on that team that's out there, that's what's really impressive.
You know, it's, I'll tell you, it is so interesting watching these kids because sophomores and freshmen.
You
know, I mean,
they got a, yeah, they got it.
One senior on the whole team and then a couple juniors and but it's just, you know, it's good coaching.
It's knowing what your kids can do.
They got a really nice set in the backfield with the quarterback and running back, you know, those two guys back there and they do a nice job and I wonder if they had to pass.
It'll be interesting to see throughout the season if they have to pass, how that works for them.
Yeah, because they only two to pass.
Yeah.
Right.
Yep.
But they only have to.
So why, you know, but eight man football is different.
You know, A-man football, you've got some speed in the backfield like they do, and two nice backs back there with Justin Ack and with Peterson.
I'll tell you what a duel.
They line up side by side, they both cut their hands out, they both look like the snaps could go to either one, and they mix it up between who's getting the ball.
And you know the other thing, Rod?
We can't go without saying the offensive line has been doing a great job locking.
because they're giving them a little gap to go through and those guys hit the hole so that offensive line is really doing a nice job and it's fun to watch so we got a second half of football coming up and with Ironman leading right now 32 to 15 and we'll see we'll see if Florence comes out with some new wrinkles or
If Ironwood changes up a little bit or whatever, I don't think Ironwood on offense has to change up much.
What do you think?
I
don't just
keep it going like they're doing.
Florence went to some different types of trick plays.
A few here lined up for receivers on one side and stuff like that.
They're looking for something that will work
and
so far it hasn't, except for one pass.
You hit it.
Very good.
Yep.
All right, let's take one minute break.
We'll come back with the kickoff to start the third quarter with Ironwood Open Front 32 to 15.
We'll be back in 60 seconds.

All right back here along your field as both teams have made their way over To the respective sidelines actually Florence is still loosing up a little bit It looks like about ready to take the field and I believe you will be kicking off.
Yes, you are correct More football tomorrow afternoon from Wakefield as the forgiving minors
kick off their season and boy do they have a formidable fall in the North Central Jets and they have some payback after last year and a lot of those guys have graduated but um there's still some payback from last year and let's see if the miners can get this victory tomorrow night.
Is the miners quarterback still out?
Yes.
Okay.
As of the last time last time last I heard.
Okay.
He's uh coming up with shoulder surgery
But you never know.
At some point he might just say he feels good and if the doctor is clear on the play, which is always a possibility, but last I heard it's going to be line-out at quarterback, but we won't know for sure until tomorrow.
I saw him in the scrimmage last Friday and mine just looked pretty good and what I see against Ironwood right here
Because I went into that scrimmage thinking okay go give it look good, but look how young ironwood is.
See what I see here in the first half.
I'm a little more impressed with the miners because they look very good against this ironwood team.
Does that make sense?
Yeah, kind of.
Well to me it did.
Probably not to the listeners, but to me it did.
Kind of sort of.
No, you did.
It made sense.
So we'll be kicking off in the second half and
Nice kickoff.
He's been having some good kickoffs.
Sure has.
He's got the ball slanted on the tee more than I've seen other kickers.
Except the way I used to set it up on the tee, but most times you see the ball almost like upright on the tee, but he's got it way back on a 45 degree angle.
Well, that's the way I used to kick it when I leaned it back like that so I could get under more of the football.
He must have caught that.
He must have went
to your kicking cams thing.
Yeah.
1978 I had a kicking half.
I think he was born then.
Got a good end over and kick to the 20 yard line taken by number nine.
This is Chrisman and his team still on the ground wrapped up finally at the 41 yard line.
And you know what?
I know the tackle wasn't made by Kastich, but
I'll
tell you what, he was 20 yards behind
the play he came sprinting up
and helped a little bit.
That's the kind of play I bet you these coaches have.
Never quit running, never quit.
It's
kind of like that volleyball coach.
Don't let the ball hit the ground.
Don't let it run.
You're never out of the play.
That was a nice interview this morning.
It was.
All right.
Bobcats first and ten on their own 41 yard line traveling 32 to 15 just under way here in the third quarter.
and hand up goes to where they got Koski in the backfield and he's got a head of steam going up there.
Koski has lined up at quarterback, fullback and wide receiver.
And high formation that time it looked like.
That guy's
playing
all over the place.
I know.
And they've got so many different formations they use.
Yes.
Now who's lined up?
And Christmas is going to come out here as a wide right.
quarterback again they got Koski in the fullback position and up to Koski again get the head of steam going in and tripped up by yes beautiful tackle by Landon Johnson
wow
that's a beautiful play there
from the 45 yard line.
I would not want to see Koski get out in the open field.
I think he'd be very hard once he got a hit of steam going.
A and the AG playing nose tackle right now.
Alright, Aden.
Jamison Pisco on the outside.
36, fake to Koski and a quarterback to me.
Wow.
Jamison Pisco that time said you're not getting around me, you didn't have a chance.
Interville stopped in the back hill by number 50.
And
this kid's only
a
sophomore to a sophomore and he's six one two twenty.
He's a loss of eight, I think.
And are they going for it now?
They're not going to punt.
Oh, I would.
Well, when you don't buy this much.
Well, you only don't buy 17.
Oh, it looks like he's backing up a little bit.
I think he'll kick.
That's Koski wind up in the Yeah, he's gonna punt nice kickoff
The ball's
gonna roll down inside the five And that's a nice pond out to the six-yard line Koski got it back on the front permission.
He caught any ran towards the end
with sidelines.
Yep
The last second pun of it.
Yeah,
you
know that
takes discipline because
the linemen
They got to stay, they got to stay on the line and scrimmage, don't they?
And they can't look back to see where
Kossel is.
Yeah, just the whiteouts can do that.
Well, you know what this tells me?
An eight-minute, 95-yard drive.
All right.
I like that prediction.
Yep.
I always been running the ball very well right now, even though coming out a half-time.
9-41 to go, third period, and Red Devils take over on their own five-yard line.
This is their worst starting position of the night Just the neck and Peterson side-by-side in the backfield snap goes to Peterson going off the right side these trip Oh, and he might have lost a yard.
Oh, but Somebody got in there.
I think I was
number
nine
For Bobcats, Crisman, got in there and tripped him up before he could get to the corner.
Yeah,
he...
Now I do have a beam in front of me, Rod.
Now you do, yes.
Now you do.
I'm going to scoot over a little bit.
Maybe that's the move I need to make.
I'm making the call on that.
All right.
You want to hang out the window?
I'll hold you by the feet.
I'm going to go up there.
Second in 13, ball on the iron with two yard line.
And this is Peterson, I believe.
Yep, back out to the original line of scrimmage.
I should bring my binoculars next time.
Peterson on the carry.
This is actually the original line of scrimmage.
Yeah, assuming a third and ten.
And then you get a third down to
ten for your right double.
It's a huge play for Ironwood.
Last time they went in upon formation, they gave up a safety.
You know, right back in this part of the field.
Yeah, they don't
want to
you don't want to putt from down here.
No, but Third and ten here for the Red Devils 825 to go a third quarter Red Devils going towards the North ends on Wapcats confused on defense that guy's running back and forth and This is just the neck and he's gonna be short of the push down but kind of know too about the ten yard line that Gives them under a little more
room
Ball is not spotted in the ten yard line before it's down in
six.
The caskage goes back into pun formation.
And this kid's quick back here, this putt returner.
Number eight?
Yeah.
Luke DeDeville.
Yeah.
Caskage standing in the end zone.
Let's see if they can get a good snap here.
The lap ball was, I don't know if it was partially blocked.
Now it's going to roll through both the
Oh, you should have threw him on it.
I don't think he touched
it.
I don't think he did, but it was close.
So the ball was, the ball didn't go very far.
It bounced out about the 20 yard line.
And there was a Florence Bobcat just kind of hanging around the ball.
And that's where you want to get away from the ball.
I wouldn't, I know it's football.
I know, but if he didn't push him, he was going to try to pick that ball up.
I think so.
Yep.
And that
would have been a huge
mistake.
But a decent punt considering he had a strong rush on him the guy from ironwood I forgot I didn't see who was we tried to push the bobcat onto the ball
Yeah,
the guy the guy from Florence smartly jumped over the ball close though, so 20 first and 10 from the ironwood 29 yard line That was about a 24-yard punt.
There's a pass out to the left and it's short One hopper to the
receiver on the left side.
I'm telling you, that other quarterback that they have, that number
three,
let me take a look at his name here, that Logan McCoy, he seems to have a better throwing arm than their starter does.
I think so.
Okay, let me have room for one more pass.
Did you tell the coaching staff?
I
did, I got another sheet over here if you need it.
I'll just go on the back.
I think we're going to be seeing a lot of passes.
Koski on a keeper, looks to turn the corner and he does and he'll get close to the 20 yard line.
He's gonna be short of the first down.
Koski on the keeper, tackle by number one through the yellow.
Kicked off about eight, I believe.
Yeah, it's what third and two now.
Yep, third and two.
Ball on the Ironwood 21 yard line.
Clock running with 640 left here in the first half.
Third quarter.
I'll get it straight sooner or later.
All right, so now they got Koski in the full back position.
And the ball goes to Deederville.
Offside on Ironwood's defense as they jumped into the neutral
zone.
Offside penalty on the Red Devils.
With all the play will be in Florida, first down at the 15 yard
line.
Not a real smart play doing that kind of stuff.
You can't make those mistakes.
Lawrence is second first down by penalty.
So a new set of downs for the Bobcats ball on the 16 yard line, yes.
Koski takes the handoff, keeps it off the right side and he'll
He lost the fumble but
it went out of the hole.
It
was down to heat on the ground, so.
Copy out of the carry.
Horses out on by number one to Legallo.
Pick up of about... About eight yards on that one.
Yeah, eight yards on that one.
Second now in two.
I don't know why Florence doesn't keep doing that.
Yeah, he is a strong runner.
He is.
And all he needs is one block on that side
right now
three four yards on his own
Well,
they're good.
They're beating them to that side now that defensive ends get blown off the ball.
He's got to get a little stronger over there Second and eight second and two rather and now goes to do though that plays out in the world
Another
beautiful play by
fiscal
and fiscal is cramping up out there
That's usually a cramp.
Yeah.
Lots of a bolt.
Let's see a loss of six on that one.
We got a little break in the action.
They're going to help Pisco.
I'm sure that's just a cramp.
Yeah.
Just got to lock it off.
Easy to say when you don't have one, right?
Yeah, I
got a cramp going to the cookies over there.
Did you?
Yeah.
Wow Well, that's what I got to go around you then I go around bed over there and then I got a cut over around head I got three blockers blocking those cookies over there.
We were told to keep you away from the cookies Marissa's text us and said play defense three blockers over there.
Oh Now they got those burners over there too.
I might get a burner All right, so they make they give help pistol off
You know sometimes those cramps linger too.
Oh, they do like you don't just come back in the game right away You got a new nose tackle.
Aiden goes out to the white out our event.
Oh on a side outside linebacker.
Sorry Trying to get my football brain going here.
They're in about seven.
Yeah, I like my volleyball.
He's a path out to the right side and they're heavy pressure.
Yeah, he was in there on that one.
That was number 11 Jalen Carulo
Number 11, Calvin Pogrullo will find the pressure there for the right of hold.
Well, beautiful job that type.
Brings up a fourth down.
Stops the clock with 5.14 left here in the third quarter.
32 to 15.
I hear what on top.
Kick a field goal now and cut it to 14.
It would be a what right now.
I guess it's out of his range.
It's about a 40 yard field goal.
Yep.
So big.
Fourth down here for Arumas defense.
Fourth and about seven Toskey alone in the backfield Back to pass that times got a guy out there and overshot on wide open.
Yep, and you see what I'm saying I
think
that other quarterback is a better thrower than
That low that Logan McCoy has a better more.
He's more accurate has a better spiral.
I know this is your guy Mason Koski.
I mean he does a lot of other things, but right now Yeah,
I do
quite open I agree with you.
Yeah, he's he seems to throw a better path.
Yeah
and Coski's not a bad receiver.
No, but I'd use him and totally I don't know why I mean
I guess I'm
not at the practices and that but that's just
Because he was wide open across the middle there and had a chance for a touchdown.
He didn't have to rifle it in there.
He could have just laid it out in front of him.
That was a bullet pass and all he had to do was lob it in the back of the end zone and the guy would have ran under it.
Well, good for Ironwood, I'm glad.
5-10 to go here in third quarter, 32-15.
Red Devils take over and Justin Eck up the middle and picks up about five yards.
Justin Eck on the dairy.
Slow down by number two Mason coffee
and three Logan McCoy
Yeah, I was gonna go no huddle
there five in place.
I like this.
I like a place for I would Just like now alone in the backfield kind of a new formation here for I would Spread out the defense as close to Peterson and he caught it.
He's gonna get the first down.
Mm-hmm.
I like it.
I like the little mix player
I think he got 12.
We'll take a break as well.
424 to go third quarter.
Red Devils 32, Bop Cat 15.
We'll be back in one minute.

Yes.

It's going to come down at the 18-yard line and wrapped up his golf area.
Oh, man.
Open field tackle by Trulegato.
I'll tell you, he played that so
nice.
Stated his lane, the cutback came toward him.
What a
perfect.
Perfect down for the Bobcat.
I'll tell you what.
That was a one-on-one tackle.
I couldn't have done it better myself.
So first and 10th of the bobcats on their own 37 yard line and they have Posquiette quarterback.
Blake Peterson going in on defense.
We got Landon Johnson on defensive line.
He's
going to keep it off the left side.
And it's tackled by Aiden Aegee.
And Koski is down.
Looks like he got hit in the thigh.
I don't think that's a crown.
Yeah, it probably is.
The way he was holding his thigh,
I thought
he got hit up there in that area.

Well, Koski has gotten back up on his feet.
Looks like it was a cramp.
And that's good news.
No, not hurt, not injured.
That time, I or would have had
Aiden Agee and the other guy on the outside.
What's his number?
Can you see a route over there on the defense?
Number 11.
Kailin Carulo.
Kallen Carulo.
Second down and eight for the Bobcats.
That's a new quarterback with the yellow gloves.
First time I've seen him, I think.
I haven't seen yellow gloves out there yet.
Ball carrier
is...
Yep, I still can't see his number.
Nice by Landon Johnson.
Nice back, number eight.
Alright, Deederville.
What do you put gloves on this time?
Yep.
Getting a little dew on the grass coming out now.
A little frost on the pumpkins.
Frost on the pumpkin.
Alright, so third and about, third and about seven maybe?
Yeah, about third and seven, third and six.
Deederville stays at quarterback.
Koski still on the sidelines.
At least I think he's on the sidelines, although I don't see him.
Oh yeah, he's laying down over there.
You go back to pass, throws it up to the, oh, and right through the hand.
Oh, he did, he hurt footsteps that time.
That's to, Carlton Brisbane is in complete fourth down for the Bobcat.
What do you do here if you're a Bobcat now?
You've got 252 left in the third quarter, you're down by
What's I can't see that over there's a 3850
and 23
down my 23,
you know,
there's another beam in my way I got all kinds of beams in my way over here.
We needed like a big scoreboard right over the field I think we still like the call boys.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's what
we
need.
Well, they have a cost scoreboard over the field All right big 4,000 and seven Need to go back to pass almost lost it
Looking, looking, looking under him.
Oh gosh, and this is going to be under thrown number 24.
Number 24 Oliver Church is incomplete.
Oliver Church is in the drive stall.
Yes, Kailin Carulo did a wonderful job.
Well, I'm not much to say that you can seal a game in a third quarter, but if you score here, you know.
247 to go and I will take over on the Bobcat 42 yard line.
It is getting dark earlier though.
It's only 758 and the lights are on.
I
know.
Justin had got the middle and he's going to score.
Wow.
Justin had some 42 yards.
Is that the same play?
Exactly the same play.
Exactly the same play.
They blew a hole on that left line and he just went There was no stopping him.
I mean, he's fast.
Yeah.
Yes.
He is I thought You know just watching it.
He is fast like Lyndon
239
to go a third period and third quarter Yeah, I will put six more on the board and let's see
if they're gonna
If
we're going to try to pass this one in again, try something different.
You're open.
Oh, now they got the receivers in tight, so this would be a run.
Just the neck.
And they're going to pass it.
And it's caught.
And the ball will get in.
Now he stepped out of bounds.
Pushed out of bounds.
I can't win.
I
can't win, Joe.
That's
okay.
That's okay.
Ironwood's winning.
That's all that matters right now.
44 to 15 is 239.
239 to go.
Yeah, all right.
And we'll be back in 30 seconds with the Red Devils kickoff.
Have we said that before tonight?
Yeah, we said it about five times.

mean to be locally owned and operated?
For Senex, it means everything.
It means that we know if you take your coffee to go, or if you like to stay a while.
It means we've helped Little Leagues get jerseys and local festivals get funding.
It means we know what our communities need.
So you'll always leave Senex with a full tank, full of snacks, or full of smiles, or all of the above.
And that means the world to us.
Senex, powered locally.
All right, back here in Irwin.
I'm a newbie up here, so I guess I don't get any choices on soda.
You can you can throw it out there, but I could I could toss it out there It's falling on deaf ears with you know next week being a conference game be nice to have donuts up here, wouldn't it?
It'd be nice to have pizza.
Oh Here they got they got a lot of like living we got a lot of guys back But 239 to go in this ballgame 44 to 15 Red Devils Justin Icon back-to-back long runs.
Yeah
has blown this game wide open.
Is this... these are new kickers?
Yeah, Peterson with the kick.
Paul's gonna bounce at the 23, picked up by Crispin, I believe, and at the 30, looking to turn the corner, and he's gonna run out of bounds.
Yep.
That was Deederville, right?
Oh, Deederville took off.
I don't see the yellow gloves.
I don't know how I can miss them.
The first in 10 for
the
Bobcats at their only 36.
You know except for that long pass for a touchdown they really had a struggle on offense.
Yeah they stifled them pretty good.
Ironwood's defense playing very well made some nice adjustments and back at quarterback now it's Koski huh?
Yes looks like he's back in good to see that.
receiver split out wide left wide right cost along the backfill under heavy rush there's another and this one is intercepted by ironwood and this is what we see here like Peterson oh yeah number
four
he's having a big game
Number two 35 yard line is intercepted by four and the Red Devils take over First in 10 on their 35 yard line
Yep, yeah, we got
a ways to go on running clock.
No one more touchdown by everyone Play on the way
An unsportsmanlike penalty call on the bobcat.
Wow.
Unsportsmanlike penalty.
I didn't see that.
Joe, did you?
I was looking up at the scoreboard.
Yeah.
I think that coach is not happy for Florence right now.
He's looking at somebody else there right now.
And if that kid comes to the sidelines, I don't
think...
Follow him now at the Swissyyard line.
No one's looking at the coach at that
moment.
No, they're
all looking at it.
Straight ahead.
None of them are paying attention to the coach.
There was something that was done out there.
It's a lot of move the ball.
It could have been plenty early.
Oh, sorry.
Something that was said, too.
That's true.
Yep.
And there's a penalty
on the
right.
Oh, that's nice.
Yep.
It was a little, uh, all start penalty on the right.
That whole foot shuffle there for my error.
It
was down
at 15.
First in 15 ball back on the 25 223 to go third quarter 44 down the rule sideline and he's gonna be carried
out of
bones
25.
What are they going to spot there?
They're at the 12 now.
13 yards.
13 yards and a... I'm pretty good at this man.
Second
down and about three.
Second in three for the Red Devils.
Yeah, when I went to the concession stand there was a decent crowd.
You got decent fans here for the first game right here.
That's
nice.
Second
in three, Peterson up the middle, and I think he's gonna be just shy of the first down.
Had to get to the ten, he got to the
ten
and a
half.
Third
and inches for the Red Devils.
While sitting between the 10 and 11 yard line, they got to get to the 10 for a first down and expect something straight ahead.
Justin, that just backs his way
down
to the 8.
2 yard pickup and another
first down.
Touchdown here is going to move it to a running clock.
Yeah,
right?
And I still see on the sidelines James and Pisco who had a wonderful game tonight.
I don't need to put them back in there.
They let them work those cramps out.
I agree.
All right, no sense in pushing them back in there.
You don't even know there's a quarter to go, but that fourth quarter will go fast if it goes to running clock.
Yeah.
Justin, they're going to shotgun.
Goes off the right side.
He runs into a sea of white.
Yeah, I think they're Keyans.
Just next on the carrier, he's stopped by a pack
of bobcats.
We're down to 48 good ones
to
go.
A pack of bobcats.
I like that one.
Second on the goal for your red level.
Second in the ball.
Oh, goal, right?
So second and ten.
Second and goal from
the ten.
Back to the first and go from the eight.
Cassage goes out wide right.
Castillo wide left.
Running back back there.
Peterson bobbles a snap, picks it up, and he'll plow his way to about the seven.
Make it a third and goal from the seven.
Let's
see who the new running
back
was.
27.

Okay, back here in Irwood.
Well, hey, Rod, guess what?
We got one of our legends of radio listening out in Cody, Wyoming.
Oh, I bet I know who that is.
Who is that?
That'd be Sam in the morning.
Yes, it is.
He said a big hello from him out there.
Thank you, Sam.
Peterson around the left side and he walks in on touch on the first play from the fourth order.
And they'll put six more on the board for Ironwood.
Cody, Wyoming.
Wow.
I don't know where that is.
Seven yard run?
You
might need that
light on.
11.54.
Four periods, six points, and I'm not even going to guess what they're going to do on this extra point.
I'm going to leave it up to you, Joe.
You call it.
Well, you're either going to run it or pass
it.
It's a good
call.
Peterson and he's going to walk in on touched for the two-point conversion and Red Devils put two more on the board and
that
makes it 52 to 15 with 11.54 to go in the ball game.
We'll have running clock now when we come out of this timeout and once the kickoff is over.
So we will take a 30 second break.
Come back with Iron Woods

downtown Ironwood.
All right, back here in Ironwood, 11.54 to go in the ballgame.
52 to 15 as Ironwood gets set to kick off and looks like Peterson will do the kicking.
That is Lake Peterson, 6 foot 175 pound sophomore.
Florence appears to go to 0 and 2 tonight.
Yeah, I mean there's it's 1154 left in this game We can pretty much almost safely say that it looks like I was gonna
have a big three here
and I wonder I mean, I haven't done it's been a while since I've done some iron wood games, but you know what is
their color in this
game?
That was an interesting little... I didn't think a team could do that.
Well, they have a long ride home.
Of course, the referee's got to go longer.
They got to go to any mountain.
But yeah, they just...
You must
have said that's it.
So that's... I've never seen that in football.
I've never, never seen it.
Never.
And he goes down 52 to 14.
Why play?
We're going to go running clock.
It's going to take, they're going to say probably 10 minutes there.
All right.
So final score tonight, 52 to 15 as Florence once again, Florence has decided not to play the fourth quarter.
So with that, we will take a five minute break.
We'll send it back to the studio, give Joe and I a chance to finish our
staff.
We're going to come up with a smart choice.
We'll talk about that later.

Final score tonight, Ironwood 52 and Florence 15.
We are joined by Coach Kevin Lane.
Kevin, great win tonight.
What a way to start the season.
Yeah, great way to start the season.
We came in, we were looking for win number one.
You know, each week we need to find the next win.
Now we're on to number two.
Great way to start.
so probably kids are playing so hard tonight.
I saw, you know, when the Bobcats took the field, all you had said, their quarterback, when I talked to you, when I walked into the, I can say when I walked into the stadium, you said he's like 6'4", good size quarterback and stuff like that.
They had a couple other guys about 6'4".
I mean, they looked very big, but why you guys played just a phenomenal game, offensively and defensively.
Yeah, they're a big team for sure.
I was a little nervous up front to start, you know, watching them on film.
Big team, but man our linemen we talked all week about finishing You know we struggled in the scrimmage to finish our blocks We would get engaged, but then we quit we finished tonight You know those linemen did a phenomenal job up front made it easy on our backs.
Oh, I guess all We can start off ends first.
I mean You're you're you're two guys in the backfield there and Peterson and and Justin Eggman
good runners and fast they go outside and that's what you need an eight man football but the holes were there weren't they
yeah the holes you know the holes were there i shouldn't say it was easy for those guys um they definitely did their part two uh the lineman made a very manageable is a better word i suppose um but yeah those those two backs we got they're gonna be special
and
only sophomores for us a lot of room to grow yet um but
two very good eight man football players right now.
Yeah I mean you think you look at how young this team was we figured you talked in the pregame you know there's going to be some learning curves here but you know we don't know how good Florence is overall but that's irregardless this was basically almost the JV team you put out there.
Yeah and you know we're not going to get too high on ourselves yet great great win for sure but we gotta get back to work there's still
something
to clean up for sure
We got Lake Linden next week and they're going to be a heck of a team.
So we got to prepare.
Told the boys enjoy this for today, but tomorrow we start watching film.
We start getting back at it to prepare for Lake Linden.
Some coaches say it never looks as bad as it looks and it never looks as good as it looks.
That's kind of what you're saying there, right?
And you look good tonight.
But
yes, it looks very good tonight, but there's always, we got to still improve.
You know, we can never be
satisfied.
No, it was pretty impressive, though.
We came in looking at the young players and the way it was set up, it was like, wow, okay, that's a young team.
And these kids just played so hard.
You, that, um, Pisco.
No, he's something.
I didn't even
know
how
many tackles he had.
So we were trying to, we were going to keep track next time.
I mean, we keep stats, but he must have had 25 tackles at least.
I put pressure on a quarterback.
Aiden, you did a nice job inside there holding his own.
You also had, uh,
What's the number one?
Yeah, he made some nice open field tackles.
Yeah, it was nice.
It
was fun watching coach.
Yeah, and the two biggest things coming in that I was concerned about was our up front play and our open field tackles.
You know, and I thought those were probably two of the best parts of our game.
But with this crew, they're young, but they listen.
They take coaching, they work their tail off in practice, and you know, they got it done.
Well,
sitting up here, I'm sure your coaches that are sitting up here too are telling you this, but your guys stayed home on those kickoffs.
They didn't over pursue.
They didn't even do it on defense either.
They did a nice job staying home.
So if there was a cutback of any sort, they at least were able to get the first hit on them and the help
came afterwards.
Yep.
And I thought we did a great job with pursuing defense too.
Struggle with that and the scrimmage too.
You know, that's the benefit of having a scrimmage doesn't mean much.
But we get these guys on film can actually see what we got to work on.
And like I said, they took coaching very well
and
they improved.
They learned.
Yes, they did.
It could have got away from you there on that bad.
that snap on the punt.
Cassius did a good job of jumping on it, because Floris was bearing down on him.
It could have easily been a touchdown.
The young team you got, they could have buckled.
They got the ball right back and Pearson with a long run, flipped the field right away.
You guys went down and scored.
Never looked back.
I mean, that's just for this young team.
They weren't fazed by that.
That's good.
Yeah, no good group of kids, you know Blake was a little down after his bat snapped there But like we told him in the long term they got two points out of it could have been worse because I got six right there and he brought up Well, we got to stop on defense that same drive.
Then we went down score, you know, they understand the game very well They understand what what we expect what we need them to do.
Yeah The decision by Florence I that's kind of I've never seen a team
It wasn't going to be a running clock, right?
So basically, it's going to probably be a running game.
A game is going to be over within about 11 minutes anyway.
But they just chose to pack it up and go home.
Yeah, and their coach shocked me after the game.
He felt terrible about it.
He doesn't like to do that.
But they had eight healthy guys left.
Like he said, they have a full conference schedule coming up.
It's more important to them with the score the way it was.
I try to get some guys healthy, don't bang anyone else up.
So I understand it too.
And nice for them to come down here.
Otherwise, you would not have a game.
Yeah, absolutely.
You wanted a game.
Absolutely.
They reached out to us first.
They wanted to play us.
They worked all great.
Yeah.
At your home game, you got your game under your belt now as Lake Linden.
Lake Linden's got a lot of guys coming back.
I think all three Axxords are back.
Davitella's back.
That's going to be a different kind of opponent, but you got to win.
That's nice tonight.
Build on this one, like you said, and then look at the film and keep going forward.
Yeah, those Axford boys and that Davatilla, they're tough kids.
They're tough kids.
We got to step it up a little bit.
You know, very happy with how it went, but...
Can't be satisfied.
What
I like about doing like Lending Games, if I say Axers got the ball, I'm usually right.
Why don't I go to first names?
I'll just say Axer with the ball
and I'm
usually right.
I'll tell you, watching the shirt tackling tonight and watching the way this team is resilient after that, like Rod was saying, that fumble in the end zone then got on top of it.
I'll tell you what, this nice looking team, nice looking team coach.
Thank you, I appreciate that.
All right.
That's all I got.
Joe, anything?
Is that it?
No, I got nothing.
Kevin, get into the locker room and be with the team.
Awesome win, Kevin.
We'll see you next week.
What is your next game, though?
That's next week, right?
It's next
Friday.
Next Friday here.
Lakeland.
All right.
Thank
you guys.
Congratulations.
All right.
Well, heck of a ball game by Ironwood tonight for Rod.
Sure was.
Nice to watch.
52 points.
Yeah, a lot of
points.
It is.
And again, such a young team.
I know.
We can say that 100 times.
And no matter what happens, these kids are going to grow and get better.
You know what I mean?
They've got to keep their heads up all the time.
And it was just fun watching.
And to watch that backfield.
And then to watch Pisco on defense.
And just the defensive play that they had.
And the sure tackling.
I mean, teaching sophomores and freshmen that, they're usually playing JV ball.
Now they're playing, you know, varsity, and they are definitely, I mean, doing a wonderful job.
So it was very impressive win tonight.
We do have a Hurley score.
You said that Hurley, you got a half score.
Hurley was up.
Let's see if I can find it.
I think you said 14-nothing.
14-nothing at the half.
Yeah.
So they're being a pretty good team.
And that's a lot of time left in that game also.
All right.
Take a look at stats real quickly for Florence in the rushing department.
Koski, get his first name in here.
Mason Koski had 12 carries for 33 yards.
Eli Morefki, we didn't see him much in the second half.
I wonder if he was one of the guys that was injured.
It might have been.
Yeah, he had four carries for 33.
And Logan McCoy had two carries.
He lost six yards on that.
On those carries, he lost a nine yard when he was back at quarterback and tried to scramble.
He lost nine yards on that.
And then number eight also had some carries, and that was Carson Crisman.
He had five carries for three yards.
So 23 carries on the ground for the Bobcats.
Six to three yards total in the passing game.
They were, let's see, let's see, four for six.
So they were nine out of 23 for 174 yards.
No completions in the second half.
So 237 yards total offense for the Bobcats.
And Joe, are you close to having something there?
Yeah.
Airward had 460 total yards.
Most of it on the ground.
224 yards for the quarterback, Judd Justinak.
And the other running back back there, Blake Peterson, had 236 yards.
So between the two of them pretty much ran the ball all night.
And they ran it right down their throat.
So total 460 yards passing.
Not much to talk about.
There was one touchdown pass that they threw.
Legallo had caught that one and he scored a touchdown, but otherwise there were not that many passing for Ironwood.
They just kept running the ball in there.
Well, they didn't have to.
They didn't have to do what works, you know.
So yeah, they look good.
They look good for being such a young team.
They got Lake Linden coming up next Friday night.
They'll be a different test for them.
Lake Linden is favored to be the top team in the conference and I know they've got, when I say the Axford, they got triplets.
Yeah.
And then they got this Josh Devatillo.
He's been playing as a freshman.
He should be a senior by now, I think.
And it's going to be a tough ball again for the big test of the Red Bulls.
Let's see what they can do.
All right, with that, we will send it back to the studio.
We'll take a one minute break.
And when we come back, we'll have our smart choice of the game.
52-15 final here.
Back in one minute.

and our smart choice of the game.
Well, we talked about it a little bit with coach Lane, and we were going to say on that bad snap, catchers, Randall Cash was lined up in the, he was on about the two-yard line.
Snapp went over his head into the end zone.
He could have tried to grab it and make a play.
Bobcats were bearing down on him.
He chose to jump on the ball, give him two points.
At that point, it was 24-13 and made it 24-15.
Had they scored it would have been 24 extra points, 24-20.
Might have been a whole different game.
So our smart choice of the game goes to Randall Cassage for having the wherewithal to jump on that ball and just give him two points.
So that's our smart choice.
So that will do it from Ironwood tonight.
52 to 15 as we only played three quarters of football.
Yeah, which is a it's a rare deal We talked about that one for a while, but I I understand with a long ride home and kids I didn't realize he had that many I didn't think he had that many injuries either.
We're injured So I would move their record to 1 and 0 Florence falls to 0 and 2 they will play in that Agra next week on Thursday and I would will host Lakeland and Hubble here
friday randy charles will be here for that one join randy and myself tomorrow afternoon from wakefield as the gogubic miners take on the north central jets kickoff at five o'clock randy and i will go on the air at four forty five from cardinal field and then uh... they said we got football friday september fourth and uh... joe i think you're back with me in besmir as crystal falls horse park

Good afternoon football fans from Longyear Field in Ironwood.
It's Michigan football, eight-man football starts this week in Michigan and we have the Florence Bopcats in town to take on the Ironwood Red Devils.
I'm Rod Helverson alongside Joe Remkes as Michigan gets going tonight, Joe.
Yeah, it's gonna be exciting.
It's been a long time since I've been on the Michigan side of sports and
I'll tell you what, it's exciting to be here, right?
It feels good considering the lack of rain throughout the summer, a couple of brown spots, but not... It looks good in a sense, but the grass isn't very long, is it?
Well, when I went down to the concession stand, I walked across some of the ground.
It's really crunchy out there.
Yeah, it's not going to be a soft field.
No, but hopefully, you know, I think it's going to hold up well.
It looks like they did some nice work.
It looks sharp from up here.
It certainly does.
It looks sharp.
It just doesn't look like a very...
soft playing surface but that won't affect us will it?
Not at all.
Not at all.
Not at all.
Florence coached by Ken Schmidt.
They started their season last week against Three Lakes slash Spelts, a combination team there and they lost 28 to 12.
So they come in with an 0-1 record ironwood as I mentioned kicking off the season tonight and Florence
This was the game that Ironwood was supposed to play hurly.
I've said this a few times on the radio over the last couple weeks.
This was supposed to be the Hurly Ironwood game.
They redid the Hurly conference.
They added a couple teams such as Leona Wabino, Three Lakes Phelps, and Elko White Lake.
And that forced Hurly to drop out of the Ironwood game as they have a confident opponent.
Luckily,
probably would not for the not for uh... why it happened but um... jillet i believe dropped on to a jv program i think that was who florida's postal play tonight so they went to jv opened up a spot for jillet and luckily i was able to grab for and so i believe this has to be for instance first trip over to this side of the peninsula football i just i don't recall them being over here before yeah definitely uh... you know they have a
I was looking at their warm-ups up there, and they've got a pretty big quarterback.
He's a senior this year, and he's 6'5", and 238".
He can probably steal over the whole line of scrimmage.
I don't think he's going to have a problem.
He's a big kid,
isn't
he?
He stands out above the rest of the team for the most part.
I think they have one other guy.
Is he 6'2"?
6'3", Carter Reid.
Yeah, there's a 6'4", Chris.
When they walked up to the high school, you could tell with only looking, you could tell which one was the quarterback.
Yeah, he's a good sized kid and with his weight, we do have the weights on them.
You know, sometimes you don't get weights on the visiting teams, but he is 238 pounds.
So Dr. Kevin Lane, I said, well, what do you know about Florence?
He said the key, he filled the key, especially on defense.
is to watch the long pass.
Yeah and that's going to be one of the things I think they're going to go to a lot Lawrence is on the passing game because you got a quarterback that size and that you know being a senior he knows the offense he's played for four years now so he's ready to air out the ball tonight so yeah we got to stay at our stay at home and we also can contain him on the run too because
he picks up all these big kids yeah you have to hit him low yep to bring him down and it looks like if both of these wide receivers are the starters one guy is six three and the other guy is six four so they got some height on the offensive side yeah and I don't know how Ironwood is going to match up size-wise with these guys but we're going to find out
Yeah, it's going to be interesting to see.
I'm just looking at Ironwood's lineup.
They got a young team this year, Rod.
You're looking at the greats.
There's one senior and five juniors, eight sophomores, and 11 freshmen.
We'll see what happens this year.
But of course, they're building.
It's kind of like once in a while, you do have to rebuild a
little
bit.
But it's nice to see that many kids, though.
Yeah, they have 25 kids, though.
It's
only has 14 kids suited up here tonight.
Yeah.
They have three seniors, six juniors, four sophomores, and one freshman.
So yeah, there is.
And I don't know if part of those guys that are suited up tonight are part of the JV program.
They may be.
And there's no JV game right now, so they can suit up.
Two of us like to be in the locker room for varsity and hear all that stuff get activated with it.
So yeah, get ready for some Thursday night lights.
Yes.
One junior that will not make it on to the game tonight onto the field will be Reed Johnson for whatever reason we heard it was just that he will not suit up tonight.
Yeah.
And
he was one of their taller kids too at six four.
So yes.
But yeah, it should be interesting to see, you know, we're about seven minutes before kickoff.
And this should be a pretty good game.
I'm looking forward to it.
I remember being back in this booth, Rod, many years ago.
Many, many
years ago.
It's a little
bit of a homecoming for you.
It is kind of.
Well, this is my, I don't know what is the school I graduated in 1982.
You know, seems like decades ago.
It was decades ago.
Have you ever broadcast an annual football game?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, you have?
Yeah.
I used to do it with Gary Aho.
Okay.
Yeah, we did many football games here and we
We did quite a bit of broadcasting, so the whole concept of it isn't new, but it's kind of neat seeing not a lot has changed, you know, with the concession over there, the same spot,
the
field, same
thing.
You
know, everything looks pretty much, pretty much the
same.
I'm ready.
I'm ready for some
football, Rod.
All right.
Florence is in the Marinette O'Conto 8, 8-man football conference, and that
includes Gillett, which went to a JV program, but I'll say them anyway.
Alina St.
Thomas Aquinas, St.
Thomas Aquinas is from Marinette.
That's a combination team there, Alina and St.
Thomas Aquinas.
Niagara, Pembein Goodman, another combined school.
Wasaki and Suri, that's the MO8.
And the Great Lakes 8th West, that I know is a member, boy, that conference expanded again.
This has to be
What I think one of the toughest conferences in the state.
Go give it.
Crystal Falls Forest Park.
Ironwood.
Ishpenning is new this year.
Lake Lindenhubble.
Municine is new this year.
Norway is new.
Antonogen and North Central.
Wow.
That is a very song crown.
But you got to bring your A-game every game.
There is no weaknesses.
Crystal Falls one, state titles and football.
North Central has been tough.
Norway was in almost, they got the semifinals last year.
So I mean this is just to help school, obviously people have graduated from those programs.
But still, it's just that name that goes with it.
This is a tough conference.
For the top and the bottom, it's going to be a very strong conference.
It's going to be an interesting season to see how these young guys for Ironwood come out and start the game tonight.
It'll be interesting to see.
I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of game plan they put together.
You know, seeing some of the young guys perform because like I said, it's one senior and five juniors and the rest are all freshmen and sophomores.
I was watching them warm up and a lot of those kids that I was kind of keeping an eye on were the younger kids.
And they were doing nice patterns, catching the ball, catching it soft in their hands.
They were doing a nice job.
So we'll see.
I was here last Friday for the scrimmage, saw a little bit of it.
It's so hard to judge on a scrimmage because you don't know what the coaches are trying to do so you don't really know what the plays are and stuff like that.
Look at the difference between the Ironwood sideline and the Florian sideline though.
Almost places many players on the Ironwood sideline.
Are we getting ready for the national tournament?
Not quite yet.
Alright, so I can touch on other games going on in the...
with area teams.
Apparently is at Leona-Wabino.
Phelps is over in Three Lakes, taken on the Three Lakes Phelps Football Club.
In Wisconsin Games in Michigan, fish farming is at Lake Lyndon-Hubble, and Norway is at Municine.
Just so you know, this is the number one fight song in high school football.
I do like Hollywood.
I do like their fight song.
I
forgot to sing it tonight.
I was going
to sing
it.
Yeah, that's great.
You said
that on the radio.
I'll do it next
week.
Next time.
Well, we're back here.
Let's see, what are we here?
We're here next Friday against Lake Lyndon, I think.
Am I here?
I think
so.
I'll be a tough game
next week too, but it looks
like we're getting set for the
national
anthem.
Let's take a two-minute
break.
We'll come back
and we'll be ready for a kickoff here.

Nice rendition by the ironwood band as we wait for the color guard to exit the field.
A few seconds here.
I can tell you that ironwood is dressed in their dark uniforms.
Maroon jerseys, maroon pants with white numerals and maroon helmets.
Lawrence on the other side, white pants, white jerseys, green helmets.
The green numerals in the color guard is... Thinks it's in the field?
The Bobcats are coached by Candice Smith.
That's a good idea.
Bobcats looks like the
Packers on their white knight Monday uniform.
And they
do the coin toss already or no?
Yes they did
earlier
and I think
Ironwood is kicking off, I think.
Are visuals for the night ball game?
Lauren, head coach, Kevin Lane, John Sarcetti, Dave Soderbloom, Mike Nichols, Greg Hendricks, and Mark Shanks.
They are set to go and it looks like anyone is going to receive.
not much of a win tonight well the flag is blowing pretty good it looks like from the west so we got a little west wind coming out tonight oh good thing we're not playing west wood what if we were playing west wood with a west wind that would be uh we'd get tongue tied that would be really bad oh boy it gets
better
we
are set to go kicking towards the north end zone so Florence will be defending the south end zone ball is on the tee waiting for the signal from the rep then we are on the way here's the run-up in the kick that's not the quarterback that's number nine that's the other big kid out there
It's a little squibber that falls on the 45 yard line of the
red double stick went about 15 yards and recovered.
We'll start with that first time.
I think it was number one.
Not recovered but just fell on it.
Last week we saw Hurley doing that kind of kick when we carried their game last week.
I mean it's just little squib kicks.
I don't know if they don't like kicking deeper.
What's going on?
shy away from the long returns and rely on their defense.
Kicking off was number nine, Carson Crispin.
He was 6'4".
Well, they're both 6'4".
Do you think it's because
there's only a men run?
Well, not much.
They don't cover the whole field.
I don't know.
It's just a tactic.
You hope your defense can enforce a quick 3-0 here and not give up a long, long return.
So, Justin Nick is the quarterback, I believe, so he turns his number all C.
And that's who it is just not going to keep her and he'll get almost the first down on the first carry nine yards That
number
eight well, I'm not too Mason coffee.
He's a little Gallo in
there.
Yeah, not only playing back down to one
Justin
right on that
way
yard line
Randall Cassage the alone senior And that time they put legality in motion and he made a nice lead block out there
That's what should be the receiver on the right side.
They'll line up in a shotgun that looks like again.
The other
running
back is, if we
get a good look at the numbers.
Glad you could join us for football tonight.
Oh, there's a busted plate.
Justin, I tried to hand it off and the running back went the wrong way, but he still picks up the first down.
Oh, geez.
Well, he made
something out of nothing.
Yes.
I think Blake
Peterson is the other running back.
It looked like Justin turned to his left to hand off the ball and Blake Peterson ran off to Justin's right.
Justin kept it and picked up the first down and set it down for just by rushing.
So first in ten for the Red Devils on the Florence 43 yard line.
Jeff Snack on a keeper, good attack and he's going to pick up another first down, I believe.
I think he got ten.
Yeah, nice running playoff.
Oh, they're
saying
it's a foots.
All right,
give
him
nine
yards.
I thought he got over there, but he picked up nine
yards.
Take a second and
one.
I'm showing some
good running
ability here.
Good.
I was
just going to say a five, seven, what is he, a five?
Six foot sophomore.
Yeah, 190 pounds.
Three carries, right?
Just the next foot out, or cassettes foot out wide, right?
Up the other receiver here, so as we get through this play, and this one's going to go to, is this Peterson?
Peterson's...
trying to turn the corner he did and he got he's gonna get the first down and more
he's
inside
the 15 yard
line 47 by number eight Luke Peterville but not before he picks up an ironwood
first down
on the 34 so it was 5 10 15 20 where they at on the 13 pickup
of
24, 21 yards.
Another
first down for the Red Dallos and they look good on this offensive drive.
Yeah, they're good blocking up front, making a whole form and there they go.
Justin Nick and Peterson side by side in the backfield.
Gallo goes in motion, Justin Nick's going to keep it at the middle, cuts it back to the right, looking for a block, turns the corner and now he's going to be run out of bounds.
Down inside the five-yard line.
Did
he get a first down?
I think he
did.
Where were they?
In the 13?
He picked up 12.
Yeah.
And it's first in goal on the 1.
Pretty impressive drive here.
I mean the run of the ball.
Good blocking up
front.
I think the other receiver going out to the right left side is number 11.
Nope, 17.
That is...
RJ Castillo, the sophomore, split out wide left.
Formation remains the same, Justin and Blake side by side.
Galo has a wing back up to the right.
Justin actually keeps it and he is going to walk in untouched.
Number eight with the one yard run.
time 9-11 and I would put six points on the board and boy they made that drive look easy.
Very easy.
It was great blocking up front the whole way down.
We got six plays.
Yeah.
Six plays, three first downs I believe.
Right, they got one inside the one yard line there.
Yeah, three first downs.
That's what I had buddy.
That's what I
read.
All right Red Devils a goal for two.
I bet you Justin that keeps it Justin I got a keeper and Oh, he may not have made this one.
Oh, we did get it.
Oh, yeah Thanks to two-point conversion
with
9-11 going the first quarter It's 8-4 nothing.
We'll come back in 30 seconds with the Red Devils kickoff here from Longview Field

This is a can't miss event at Marthaler Honda Trade of Ashen, where just like the view, the sale is superior.
All right back here and anywhere as we await our new it's kickoff
and it looks like
number 50
will do the kicking.
That is Janice and Pisco.
Another sophomore.
Yes.
A
lot of sophomores on this
game.
Butters.
A lot of football left in
this game but Kevin Lane has to be happy with
that first drive.
Very much so.
Very much so.
It was all number eight.
With help of course.
Blocking with his teammates.
Yes, pretty much carried.
He did carry in every position There's the run-up in the kick and this is gonna be a high end-over-end kick.
It's gonna bounce at the 15 taken by Eli
Morefke
Eli Morefke The 5,100
pound wide
receiver
and he'll bring it back
out to the Florence
Where they gonna spot it 31 yard line, that's where the Bobcats
will
start
Kevin Lane said they got to defend the long pass And we'll see what an offense Florence gives us here.
I've never seen Florence play football so first they say Cassitch and Legallo are back deep They got some tall guys on that line
Matt Agee has joined us in the booth here.
Here's the quarterback keeper and Mason Koski is going to pick up good yardage
there.
5
yard game there for Florence.
2nd
and 5.
Okay, Koskina and off to Marevsky and he's gonna turn the corner and get the first down and positive yardage after that inside Iowa territory.
Ball was on
the 38 and he carried it
all
the
way to the Red Devil.
And around the iron 45 yard line, the first down to 10.
What's
the problem
with
that?
41?
Okay, yeah.
Alex Vorsky made the tack home.
Correction, 41 yard 9.
So he got 9, 14, got about 19 yards on that carry in the first down.
First in 10 for the Bobcats, they look to the coaching staff.
Now they all look at their wrist.
All right, so that's how they do it.
They get a number from the coaching staff, then they look at their
wrist.
Cosi's going to keep it, looking for
Some running room and getting in there is number 50, Jamison Pisco.
Nathan Koski on the keeper, stopped in the backfield by Jamison Pisco, number 50.
We're gaining on that carry.
Well, I thought
Bobcats had that block pretty well, but the Red Devils got in there.
Yep, they did a nice job.
Second and 10.
Ball on the Red Devils 41 yard line.
Koski alone in the backfields while he sent Marefsky in motion.
Paul's going to go to Koski, he's looking to pass, he's got receiver off to the right, overshot him and that
one
falls incomplete.
I
hear
the defensive coach saying
make
sure you stay home on those defensive ends because you can't commit inside because you do that and they're going to take it outside so now a third and ten rod.
That passing play was two to one for zero.
Wow, that's two to one for zero.
Look at that.
Then you got to make the
broadcast people coming
on and off the field over there Yeah, look at that formation.
They got trips on that side quadruples on that side.
Yeah, they got it Koski and throw it to the coaching staff good rush by number 51.
That's
really
glad to John Wow Coski had no chance What so I don't know who's I'm not even gonna put a number down his receiver because yeah, I mean
That was kind of one of those packer plays that screen pass that never works.
They do that twice a game.
All right, so they have three linemen in front of the quarterback, and then they got three triplets on the other side.
And now we got penalty, should be penalty number one on this side.
Right in front of us.
So a five yard
penalty.
I'll
make that fourth down at fifteen.
So they got the three linemen at midfield.
They have a receiver on the left side and on the right side they had triplets on the other side.
One receiver and then both.
Both are running backs over there.
Now they're back to a traditional set here with
receiver still not wide left and who's on the one who's on back so here's a bad snap this is gonna go over the head of number three new quarterback in there and he's gonna run out of bounds right back there we had quarterback was
Number
three, Logan McCoy.
You might have picked
up.
Yeah, that ball went way over it.
So they went for it on fourth and long and turned it over on Downs.
And also Ironwood let a few big runs go at first and then all of a sudden they tightened up.
And they did what the coach said, stayed home on their defensive ends and made some nice plays.
And now Ironwood has good field position, right?
The forwards have some trick formations there that didn't fool Ironwood.
Actually, I think they fooled themselves.
I think so,
too.
All right, so Ironwood takes over on their own 48 yard line.
This is a better field position than they had last time.
The information just the neck and Blake and everybody moved except the center.
Yep centers today.
I'm not gonna snap this.
Yeah, I wasn't ready yet It was the center because everybody said go everybody went except the center It's pretty obvious when it happens to you All right
If they get this one First and 15 for the Red Devils all back on their own 43 yards, and this is where they started the first try from Cassage out wide, right?
It goes to Peterson and he'll get maybe three yards on that
one Like Peterson, Gary, stop by number two,
Nathan Toppe Six fifty-five
to go first quarter, eight nothing
Ironwood
on a well-constructed six clay drive.
Yeah.
Time to have the ball.
Yeah, very nice drive.
A couple of nice long runs, a 21 yarder and a 12 yarder on that first drive for that touchdown.
Just the sprinkling of fans over there on the flooring sideline.
Looking into the sun.
Just the sprinkling of fans.
Yep.
Not sure how many numbers a sprinkling makes, but... Well, in this case four.
Oh, there's two up to the side.
There's Peterson.
Turns the corner.
One better beat.
And he's going to be wrapped.
He's going to get the first down.
He's inside the 30 yard line.
Beautiful run.
He did get by one more
guy and just could not get the block for that.
So that was
a,
they were at the 40, 30.
Another iron ward.
Five, 10, 15, 20, 24 yards.
And another first down for him.
Beautiful blocking out there too.
Downfield blocking was pretty good.
What's he carrying outside?
He followed his blocking.
Those guys were downfield quick.
We just sent a six foot 170
pound software.
Center for the Red Devils is number 55.
Isaac Fox did, or should say Plain Center, not under center.
Plain Center.
Justin it now.
I think there's a new running back there.
Yeah, 27 is in the just not kind of keeper.
He'll go straight ahead.
That could be on.
No, I
he fumbled
it, but they got it back.
I would got it.
27 is in there.
Gary Alex is a fumble.
That was a software.
Isaac
hops.
Husted.
The
software recovered that bubble.
Free.
Second down to
seven.
Pick up a
three for Justinick on that play.
It's a second and seven.
Five oh seven to go here.
Clock running in the first quarter.
I mean we're going towards the salt end zone here on your field.
Nice crowd here on the Ayrewood sideline.
Not a packed house yet.
A lot of people stayed home to listen to us.
Oh definitely.
Yep.
Snap.
goes directly to Peterson and he'll push his way to the 19 yard line.
First down.
He
picked up a
few yards, needed seven, he got eight and that'll be another first down for the Red Devil.
He'll continue to move
the chains.
I like my style.
430 left here in the first quarter.
Got the lead, your running
game is working
and you're taking time
off the
clock.
All right, Lauren's called time out, we'll take a break as well.

All
right, back here at Long Year Field, as we come out of the time out, 423 to go first quarter, 8-0 Red Devils, and they are on the move again.
Let's see, number 52 is in there for Ironwood.
That is Aiden A.G.
We are familiar with that family.
Oh, yes, we are.
His dad's a celebrity on WJMS.
Yes, in fact, Aiden was a board operator for us.
He was, yes.
Now he's out there playing football.
As fast as they grow up.
Here we go.
First in 10.
Ball on 19 yard line.
Justin there.
Going to keep it.
Looking to get outside.
Cut to the left and he's going to be wrapped up.
He might have got some yardage.
Not one.
Maybe
one yard.
Maybe Joe two yards.
Yeah,
I'll give him two.
Yeah, it looks like it.
He
cut
that back, but it was a very nice tackle out there by Florence football guy number four.
It was I think made that tackle.
There's no number four.
I guess it wasn't him.
I guess he didn't make the tackle.
Maybe it was 24 or
something?
Yeah,
he had something in it.
But he was out there and he did it.
This is our first Michigan game, so we're allowed to make.
Yeah, I can't see their numbers that well.
They're not and they get up quickly too when we don't have a monitor like to do in the pros.
Yeah, this is all we're just eyeballing all this Justin Nick on a keeper.
He's wrapped up We waited for his walking to develop and someone shot through there.
We know it wasn't number four,
because it was number four, right?
So
Justin Nick looks like he
lost three makes it third in 11
Interested to see if they're going to pass on this now.
Aiden Agia, starting guard on the Iowa football team.
His dad's a celebrity.
I mean, yeah, I know.
Wow.
He's probably out there sliding autographs right now.
He came up here to say hi to us.
He charged us 10 bucks.
They're down and a little more than 10, but a little less than 11.
Wow, that's precise.
That is.
Uh-oh, they better hurry up on the huddle here.
There's gonna be a delay of game.
They've got to get moving here.
They can turn down here.
It could be in four down territory, and there, yep.
You call it,
Joe.
All right, so Kevin Lane called the
time
to avoid the delay of game penalty.
We'll take another break.
234 to go first quarter, eight nothing red devils.

All right back here along your field as Red Devils are set to run a plate third and just over 10 yards just in there Ball goes off to Peterson Drex snap to Blake breaks one tackle and turns the corner and he is going to be close to a first down Did he cross the 10?
Oh, yeah
At
the 8 year
old Yeah, he got inside the way inside the 10.
He needed 10, he got a ball at 14
Where's the ball?
Ball is on the move
already
That was on
the 21st.
Give them 14 yards I think.
Beautiful running that time.
The first down for the Red Devils and they are knocking on the door again first in goal for six.
I like the way they spread out the defense too.
Yes.
Once the receiver started going out for a pass those defenders turned their backs and then all of a sudden there comes a running back right behind it.
Just the neck and Peterson lined up side by side.
We'll put your hand.
Legalo took off a little early and this will cost Ironwood five yards.
That one was his fault.
Not the snapper this time.
Little anxious.
Little anxious there.
You wonder if the pass was going to him.
Yeah,
he's
thinking like I'm gonna catch his ball.
I gotta get
open.
That's the fastest slant I've ever seen.
See if you can beat the defender to the end zone.
So pushes the Red Devils back to the 11 now, first in goal from the 11.
Snap goes to Justinik, up the middle, takes it off to the left after he gets through the first line of the fence and he's brought down inside.
He's just
like around the 7 yard line it looks
like.
First by number 3 Logan McCoy.
Picked up those.
So the
second down from the...
Pick
up of four yards So what is it the second and goal from the seven And we're down to a minute and fifty to go here in the first quarter That's where doubles break the huddle same formation Peterson Justin Nick side-by-side legalo in the slot cast a show wide
Right, Ligallo goes in motion.
Justin back to pass.
He's got a guy out there caught and touchdown.
Look at that.
Ligallo,
that's
your answer.
Justin is back to number one.
Blue Ligallo is to blame for a 9-1
touchdown.
Justin, a crowbar to his left.
Ligallo ran across the end zone.
Well, he wasn't in the end zone until after he cut the ball.
You ran across, like the two yard line, you ran straight across the field wide open at the two yard line, low jump pass from
Justin
there and Legalo.
Justin actually was in the grass with
the
defender too, so that was a nice pass.
Number eight to number one.
And Justin being a left-hander, that helped him a lot on that pass.
Yes, it did because he rolled out to his left.
2 point conversion and just the next is in for two more and I know it goes up 16 and nothing here with 130 to go in the first quarter.
We'll take a 30 second break.
Come back.
Red level kickoff after this message.

All
right, thank you.
Yeah, I thought Legallo caught that in the end zone at first.
He just ran across the end zone.
He was at the two-yard line.
Yeah, caught it at the two and he kept it in bounds and he made a nice two-yard run into the end zone.
All right.
Nobody was on them, though, either.
You know, I'd open.
No, he lost.
He lost the defender somewhere.
So 1.31 to go first quarter and the Red Devils go up 16 to nothing and they have the ball peed up on the 40-yard line.
The deep guy is four.
Oh,
there's a nice
pick.
It was all the way back to the five yard line.
And this will be Marefsky bringing it back, and he's going to get good yardage all the way up to the 33 yard line.
He caught it on the five.
And that's where the bobcats will start, first in 10.
Number
one, on their own 30
turn.
32 yard line, maybe?
What
I
do like is I'll iron would stay at home on that kickoff though You saw the guys fill on this end not crashing it because you never know if he cuts back they got to be there All right first in ten Florence Cossky in the shotgun And what we got delay of game or time
all
I think seven guys on the field.
That's it?
Seven?
Yep, that's what it was.
Seven guys on the field.
All right, so the coach caught it and said... Timeout.
Okay, timeout.
So we'll take a 30-second break here as we're already halfway through the timeout.
We'll be back in 30 seconds.

But ready to come out the time out.
Warren's called time out with only seven players on the field.
Figured they were at a huge disadvantage.
Yeah.
Yeah, so considering Ierwood had eighth on there.
Yeah.
A little bit of an advantage for Ierwood.
Ierwood's defense sniffed up on the second half of that first quarter drive by Florence.
We'll see what they do here now.
Luke Diderville split out wide right.
ULMRF scale wide left.
Koski in the shotgun.
It was back to fast, looking, looking, and he's got a nice pass, but overshot his receiver.
Yeah, they tried a double.
He's passed to Louis Beardville, a big, complete, number 12, Rashid Diderville.
Five yards over his head.
Well, you can see
that Kossy
does have a good arm.
Yeah, he threw that about 40 yards, but it should have been through him 28.
Yeah, he overshot his
receiver
big time.
Yeah, they tried what?
The double move.
Double pump or whatever, double move.
Didn't fool anyone at all.
Nope Second and 10 for the Bobcats Marevsky goes in motion Koski gives it to Marevsky.
We'll go out the right side down the floor in five-line and he picked up probably about five
years Oh
somebody's hurt over there, I think We've got an official time out here.
We'll see hope
he's getting up
Look all those slow to get up.
I don't know if he's got to come off now.
Did they stop the game because of that?
Yes, they got to take him out.
Okay We're running off on his own power Castage will come in for him Good I think I gave him more than I should have there.
I think you only got about three yards.
It's 37
minute ten left here in the first quarter higher with all six
feet and that's it No
morefsky lines up behind Koski who stays in the shotgun
and
he's going to draw ironwood offside
55
jumped offside for ironwood yep not a good play got some five extra
yards out 33
makes it now a
third down and two.
A
little more manageable for the bobcats here.
The four yard line.
Let's see who the other running back is there for the bobcats.
And I'm not number three.
That is Logan McCoy.
Could be a direct snap to McCoy.
And it is McCoy.
Pitch it back to Morofsky looking for
Some running room, and you will get close to the first down.
Yeah, very nice tackle that time by Randall Castigio.
Yeah, and
we're up down the carry and stop by number 12,
Randall Castigio.
He's saying
first down, he needed... Well, I have a marathon game just enough for a first down from about that.
That five
yard penalty.
That's on the 43 yard line.
Penalty's hurt.
47 seconds to go here.
First in 10 bobcats on their own 43 yard line.
Rasky goes in motion and we got...
All start
coming
out of the bobcat.
Didn't see who moved twice.
I don't know where any back went
in motion.
I
think it was the right guard that time.
Just
landed.
So first in 15 for the bobcats.
Koski alone in the backfield.
Marefsky goes in motion.
Koski takes the handoff, and we've got a flag.
We've got a guy wide open and over.
Yeah, the receiver running, who got the end of deep end,
was
loaded
with four.
Yeah, they flag on the plate.
Legal shift.
Yep.
Another five yard penalty against Lauren.
No, I think they're going to decline that.
With a legal shift on the bobcat,
Well, it was declined.
Take the down.
This doesn't hurt you.
Nice to see Legallo back in there after getting bumped up a little bit on the sidelines there for a couple plays.
Second in 15, ball on the floor and 38 yard line.
38 seconds, 33 seconds, 34 seconds.
I'll get it right.
34 seconds to go.
Asiana Keeper breaks one tackle and then he's wrapped up and he's going to lose yardage.
Two good tackles are fifty.
Well, Aiden Aegee had the first hit in the backfield and then Fisco cleaned it up.
Good
defensive play.
Now they're just going to end the first quarter looks like, Ron.
They will let the clock run out.
It looks like you're right, Joe.

All right, back here at Longyear Field as we are set to start quarter number two.
I heard out in front 16 to nothing.
Florence facing a third and 15 from their own 43 yard line.
Florence only ran 10 plays in that first quarter.
Looks like I would ran 15 plays.
So Florence will be going towards the south end zone here.
Osceola
in the
shotgun,
at base third
and
15.
The
receiver is put out wide right is Carson Prisman.
There's a double reverse and this goes to number eight and he's got some running room and he will pick up the first dollar unless he was pushed out of bounds over there.
Let's see where they mark it.
Yeah, he
did not get the first down, but it's going to
be fourth and short.
And that was number eight Luke Dieterbill on the carry.
Gain a 14 on the play.
They'll make it fourth down.
Fourth and about one.
Florence.
Tough call here for the Bobcats trailing 16 to nothing facing a fourth and one on the on the ironwood 48 yard line if they don't make this it'll get the Red Devils excellent field position Here we go Koski alone in the backfield And now goes to number one.
Can he get there?
She can with second effort Needed one he got about four that was a Reppke Eli Mareffi on the carry
Not by a group of Red Devils.
Third, first down for the Bobcats.
First down in ten for four at the
Ironwood 46 yard line.
First and ten Bobcats at the Red Devil 46 yard line.
And a couple guys shifting in and out here for the Bobcats.
Well, after that penalty they got that first down so...
It's a big, uh, big drive here for the Bobcats, though, Rod.
Well, if this is Koski at quarterback or not, is that number two or number three?
Three.
The pass on the sideline and went to Koski, brought it to himself, and he's going to score.
Ball was
over his head, went up 6-5, he managed to tip
it up in the air, and then he ran under it.
Yep, and that time,
A couple of defensive backs just stood still and let him run right by him before they started moving and that hurt.
That's what the coach said at the beginning of the game though.
Got to stop him from that deep pass and he just ran right downfield and tipped it to himself and in for the touchdown.
That kid had a nice pass though.
That was a pretty nice spiral.
It was.
That was Logan McCoy who was then lining up as the wide receiver.
So that was a wide receiver throwing the ball to the quarterback.
Lawrence was going to kick.
Isn't it wide?
Oh, we got it.
Yeah, that's a word.
We're a tough angle.
We're at
a tough angle, yeah.
So, well, Florence scoring
a
touchdown on a, on a, well, how many yards was that pass
play?
46.
46
yard pass play.
So Florence put seven on the board and with 11-19 to go second quarter, Ironwood's 16, Florence seven, we back in 30 seconds with Florence kickoff.

All right back here in ironwood 16 to 7 Fred that was all in front and the bobcats will kick off and see what kind of kickoff they're gonna have this time They kind of split the first one this one is going to be again It looks like an on-side kick and we see a recovery covered by
I
don't think he came down in balls.
Oh,
let's see.
I think he did I think he did are they
well
Honest by six is recovered by the Bobcats.
Wow.
They gave no indication.
I
thought
he came down out of bounds when he caught the ball.
It looked to me like he came down in balance, but I didn't see any indication from the referees to signal that, so I was unsure of myself.
Yeah, they're gonna hit the Florence.
That was...
Number nine doing the kicking was Carson Crispin in the quarterback.
Meason Koski is the one that was right there.
Perfect bounce on that onside kick.
Bounce right up to Koski.
So first and 10 Florence on the Red Devil 49 yard line.
This is number eight going around the left corner and he's dragged down out of bounds.
That is number 15,
Jamison
Pisco.
Game of the yard will make it second out in nine
Second in nine ball and I would 48 yard length don't let these receivers get behind you now pay attention Ball is in the shaded area the only shaded area Pretty much in the on the field that's coming from the press boxes in the way So second in nine The pass and you got a guy out there overshot the receiver that was good coverage that time
This was number, this was uh, Koski throwing it to number.
Kassage had
great coverage that time, right?
Yep, he ran stride for stride with him, a nice job that time.
And Kassage is uh, six foot tall, so not much of a height advantage for that guy over on that side.
Not that side, no.
Turns
up 3rd down and 9th.
Let's see if Florence wants to keep this passing attack going.
Cosby was lined up way deep and here's a pass intercepted by Cassage.
Yep, beautiful play.
Cassage with the interception, played that perfectly.
And Ironwood will take over first in 10 on
their
own 44-yard line.
Passes with excellent pass defense on that play.
Yeah, that was beautiful coverage and read it nice and made a nice catch and Ironwood's got good field position now.
So with 10.58 to go here second quarter leading 16 to 7, the Red Devils excellent field position as they know.
Go towards the north end zone here.
Eh, along your field.
This is Justin, if it is.
Go around the left side, he's going to get inside.
Yup.
Six yards.
Justin, come on,
Gary.
Inside Warren's
territory to the
49.
All five.
Picked up six.
Picked up a second and four.
Second down in five.
We'll have
our smart

This is Peterson.
Up the middle, he got to the races at 30, 25, 20, 15, 10, 5, not that close, not about the 6th yard line.
Wow, beautiful run that
time.
Number 4 on the gallery, 4-0 by number 1, Eli Rocky, but not the 4th.
He gave the 9-1 first
down.
That'd be a 38-yard pickup if they're going to, let's see where they spot it before I say that.
Yeah, it's going to be on both sides.
I know, I would be on the 407.
seven-yard land ball was on the 46 39-yard pickup and we have an injured player for Lawrence and he's up on his feet didn't help off Phil I don't think there's gonna be is there a timeout here well injury timeout maybe I don't know if there yeah it looks like he twisted his ankle a little bit there that's number one that's their what's one of their top running backs yeah
It's going to be a blow to their offense.
More football tomorrow night from Wakefield as the North Central Jets take on the Gugivik minors.
Randy Charles will be with me in Wakefield.

No lights at the Wakefield field, so it'll be a five o'clock kickoff.
We'll be on the air at 4.45.
Joining Randy and myself for football on Friday.
Friday night life.
Well, Friday night, oh.
What
do you
gain on that rod then these down to the 38th give him 30 Give him 38 yards in the first down.
I think it's on the 7 yard line straight ahead Justin Egg pauses way forward and carries a guy to the 1 yard line so another 6
yards for Justin
Egg and it'll be second in
goal from the 1 yard
line
Ironwood looking very, very good tonight.
Yeah, beautiful running game.
Yes, that one mistake and letting that guy get behind them here in the first half, but otherwise playing a really nice game.
Second
and goal from the looks like it spotted about the two yard line.
Just the next straight ahead he's walks in.
Yep, very easy.
And Justin if
we get two yard run and Ironwood put six more on the board.
With 9 20 to go second quarter It's now 22 to 7 22 7 that's your lunch time isn't it your time for your snack 22 Yeah, I think I need a cookie over there.
I
can see
a cookie color my name.
There's a lot of cookies over there water I will go for two Justin
Nick
Waits for the snap.
Wrapped up in the backfield, turns the corner and he will walk in.
Justin with two point conversion and that makes it 24 to 7.
Two point conversion in Red Devils with 9.20 to go here.
Second quarter will
take a 30
second break.
Come back to the Red Devils kickoff
after this message.
Like Patsy Klein's ballad.
Like that fish that walks on land.
Like Mike the headless chicken.
This is crazy.

Yeah All right got the ball feed up these ball is not upright on that tee.
I'm expecting a Scoop kick here or something No, he's gonna get up in the air.
I'm surprised the way that thing was set up.
He's down to number three.
That's
McCoy
and he's wrapped up Back on the 30 yard line.
That was a beautiful hit
Logan McCoy on the return,
spot by number 12, Randall Capps is in eight.
So the ball, Bob Capps will take over first in ten on their 30 yard line and... Got any milk?
No, I didn't bring any milk.
No?
No.
If somebody was riding by the stadium and could just run in here with a quart of milk, then we could dunk these cookies in milk.
Yeah.
That's
over there.
An academia nut.
It's
like an M&M.
Oh man, another one
of my
favorites.
Alright, first and 10 bobcats.
Koski, fixed handoff.
Keeper.
He'll lunge forward.
Lowers that 6-5 frame.
That's what I do with that, he picks up.
Two yards.
James and Koski on the carry.
James and
Pisco
with a nice
tackle.
I'll tell you those boys inside
there for
Red Devils.
Number 51, Landon Johnson.
Number 55.
Isaac Hopstead.
Thank you.
And also Pisco.
So they do a nice job inside.
Here's the play they scored on.
They got Koski split out wide right.
And the Gallo at 5-10, guarding the 6-4 receiver.
Let's see what this play is.
This may be a pass down the right side.
Looks like McCoy at quarterback.
Good snap cost goes across the mill.
They're gonna air it over here on the right side and it's all through the hands of number eight Luke Deetherville.
Yeah, I had it and just could
not hang on to it
Here the whole incomplete number 17 RJ Castillo on the coverage for the Red Devil Still
a
third down in eight for the Bobcat Let them get a little bit behind you.
You gotta gotta keep that guy running.
They use the sidelines as a Another defender, you know
Koski ran across the middle on that Yep drew the defense to him and then the running back either real came could not Catch the ball 45 is not sure where he's supposed to be.
He's running around
there.
He's
running off the field on the field.
Yep Now he's lined up as a tight end on the other side.
He gives a tight end.
Yeah No, he'd
be
a Tackle over there.
He gives a tackle.
There's a
Double screen and it's caught by
Deederville.
That was the least number eight you could hear though.
Thirty-four-year-olds, four-year-olds.
But the only way is that if you want an 18-year-old pickup and another first down for the Bobcats.
Yeah, they got some tricky formations and Ironwood having a little trouble.
They've got old Mando
here.
They had
four offensive players, only two defenders on this side.
Number three in the ballgame now is Logan McCleary.
And this is Kosti on the keeper and he picks up two yards.
Kosti on the carry stop by number 50, James DeVisco.
Pisted by 27, Alex Borsi.
I wonder how many tackles Piskal has.
We
need a defensive staff person here.
Set up behind us and chart tackles.
These made quite a few tackles.
Second and eighth for the Bobcats inside Red Devil Territory now at the 47 yard line.
This is number three at the quarterback, Logan McCoy.
And Cosby out wide right.
He's going to take off down the sideline.
Caught
it!
Had to book a 41, broke a tackle, broke another tackle, and now he's going to get down inside the 35 yard
line down to
the 41, yes.
That
pass was kind
of
high where
only he could go up and get it.
Yeah, he
is 6-4.
And I think it's a good defensive adjustment right now from coach Lane, taking out Legalo.
When that guy comes out and matches up on him, he's got the height advantage.
So right now, putting in number 12, Kasich who's 6 feet.
And now number nine is out there.
He's just as tall.
He's 6'4".
That's Carson Christman.
I wonder what their basketball teams now look like.
He's got some height on this football team.
There's a handoff to Koski.
He turned the corner, but he's run out of balls.
He's
got
a couple yards.
He's forced that off by number 51, Landon Johnson.
Number eight was quarterback Luke Dieterville was the quarterback.
Caught it.
He's
got the snap and handed it off to Kossky right
away.
One yard for Kossky on that carry.
Mel Kossky is going to move out to a wide receiver on the right side.
McCoy's going to play quarterback.
And they got everybody set.
McCoy shotgun by himself in the backfield Good snap back to pass.
He's looking looking looking nobody open.
He's under a heavy rush Lots of yardage.
Yeah, they do at the cost.
He
was
out just throw that in the ground Yeah, exactly throw that at its feet completing that pass for a negative six yards.
His coffee is complete That's not about my number 17 RJ facility lots five yards on that Yep, they call a timeout
end up being a loss of
play
Time out.
We'll take one as well.
633 the goal of
second quarter.
Iowa 24, Florence 7.
We'll be back in one minute.

Bobcat's facing a third and 15 ball on the Red Devil 36 yard line.
And McCoy, no.
Koski's back at quarterback.
Back to pass under a rush.
He's going to air it out there.
He's got a guy open and he caught it inside the five.
That is number one.
Oh, that number one is back in the ballgame.
Yeah.
Morefki, I didn't even see him come in.
Morefki is complete.
Wow.
From the 36.
Down to... Where are they?
At the 2.
2?
34 yard pass?
At the 2 yard
line.
At the 1st down, that's the 3rd 1st down passing.
They got 3 by passing, 3 by rushing.
That was good coverage actually.
You threw it right over the shoulder of the defender.
Beautiful catch, beautiful pass.
Can you do that?
Falling backwards a little bit too.
Now he's under a heavy
rush.
Let's carry the ball.
Florence.
Well, Koski was under center.
That's why he didn't see him.
First time he went under center.
Koski with the
carry four and
touchdown.
Koski scores and that makes it 24 to 13.
Let's see what the boxcats want to do last time.
Kasky's kicking too.
Oh, I think it
was
tipped.
Yep, it was tipped.
It was blocked.
All right, so kick is no good.
And with 6-0-1 to go second quarter, it's only with 24.
Floor is 13.
We'll take a 30-second break.
Come back with the boxcat kickoff after this message.

All right, back here along your field.
Warren's getting set to kick off.
Carson
Christian will have the ball teed up.
Last time
he kicked
it
onside kick, yep, you were going to say the same thing.
Last time he kicked it onside kick and recovered it.
So this time, Ironwood's got
Actually, Kosti's doing the kicking.
Kosti at the run-up, he's going to boot this one.
And this is going to go over the head, and I believe number one caught it, didn't he?
No.
No, what over is that?
Okay, the momentum took it into the end zone, so they're going to say it's down.
Ball's going to come out to the 20.
Is it the 20?
Well, we're going to find out.
We don't
see a lot of
kicks in
the end
zone in high school football.
Yep.
Yep, that's where they're going to mark it.
Back deep for Ironwood that time was Trula Gallo.
That was a strong kick.
I was in another field is a touchback first time 10 for the red all that the 20 yard line So ironwood with 5 57 to go this is their this is their worst starting to Of course starting vision.
Yeah 20 back on their own 20 and they have two timeouts left, right?
I
Don't know
we just have to guess
Well, they used one.
Yeah, it would be two.
Oh, Fumble in the backfield, and I believe I would
fall on
that.
Wow.
That would have been a game changer.
Oh, I'm
gonna play
Rick Paul
by the Red Devil.
So a loss of five on that play.
Getting back on that
ball was big.
I think Justin fell on that.
Wasn't it?
Or did you see somebody else?
Peterson fell on it.
Okay.
Blake Peterson got that second in 15 now for the Red Devils.
Well, you don't want to turn over back in your own territory like that.
Pretty much controlling this
game.
Peterson
and Justin Egg and the ball is going to go to Peterson looking for rumor on the right side wrapped up.
And might have got back to the original lane of scrimmage.
Like Pearson on the carry.
See if he got five.
No, looks
like he only
got about two maybe.
Two on the play.
Third
down
and
long for the right
double.
Third and 13.
We
might, we
might
see our first punt.
Yeah, hoping they get this first down.
I don't know if they're going to go to the pass play or they've been running the ball pretty well, so.
If you spread them out wide get those defensive ends everybody else wide
You
got some good running backs there.
You can get this first down running Split out wide left is RJ Castile There's in Justin X side by side and the ball goes to Justin neck and he's hit and wrapped up immediately He might have lost
more
yards
Loss of about three, so makes it fourth and 14.
And
Kastich will be back in fun formation.
350 to go, second quarter, 24 to 13,
Bobcat defense.
Tough on that series.
Cassage, it was a ball over the head of Cassage, he's going to go down into the end zone, that's
going to be a safety.
He made a
smart play by jumping on it though.
Yes, he didn't want to give up six at that point.
Nope, that was a good play by the punter Cassage.
We'll
take a 30 second break.
24 to 15 back in 30 seconds.

Okay, back here along the field, we'll go a high snap over the head of punter Randy Ka...
The kickoff will come now from the 20 yard line.
This looks like a left footed kicker.
I think he's off to the left side.
Who's this kicker?
33?
Is it Pisco?
Put a nice end-over-end kick.
Taken by Morefsky at the 37s inside and
we're going to have a penalty
called... Yep.
Well, you can see his ankle is bothering him.
He quit running because his ankle... Now he's limping off the field.
Morefsky on the return stop by 27 out with Borsky.
We have a flag on the play.
He got it down to the 30.
Six yard line of the red that was but there's a flag back out of up to 50 yard line Yeah, and Moreski quit running at about the 40 yard line The ankle injury that he had earlier one of the big things you saw back here, too The holding on Florence the guys already ran past him.
He didn't need to grab his jersey and hold him, but he did and because of The guy was running the putt kick out back the receiver was already past them
Holding
on Florence
So it's
not a spotball.
That's a
big
field.
First down to
10.
So that's where the holding was back at the 45 here.
Well, why is it at the 50 then?
I don't know.
Do
they... I'm not sure if it's... I thought it was... That's what I thought.
All right, here we go first in 10 ball right at the 50 yard line boss keep that note.
This is a
This is
McCoy
She's
McCoy with the pass to Deeterville and it's caught and then we'll receive Joe whatever and it's gonna be a 15 yard penalty personal Paul hitting them out of bounds Deeterville we have playing a play for They hit out of the family on the right level
15
yards.
Yep, can't make those mistakes.
Now you put them right back where they ran the kickoff back.
Well, even 10 yards beyond that.
Yeah, the ball first down in 10th for Florence.
At the Hollywood 30 yards left.
Penalty by, first down by Penalty.
Florence coming alive here in the second quarter.
321 left.
Ironwood still up 24 to 15.
McCoy stays that quarterback.
Kosti's foot out wide right.
McCoy alone in the backfield.
Under a heavy rush and he's knocked to the ground by Pisco.
Is that Pisco?
Yep.
And that was the point is passed in the backfield by number 50, James St.
Pisco.
Rod, that was huge.
Nobody was guarding the Whiteout.
I saw that.
Yeah.
Nobody was on him.
There was one guy out there.
Cassage was out there and he took the guy cutting across the middle.
And I don't know why he didn't throw the ball.
He was looking that way and he didn't throw the ball.
It was a loss of nine.
Yep.
It's a little second and 19 now for the Bobcats.
Yeah, I saw the same thing you saw, Joe.
The receiver was wide open.
He just kept backing up.
I don't know what he was waiting for on that play.
Look away.
It's going to air it out.
This could be intercepted and it
is by Justin X. Good play by Justin
X. Beautiful play.
Good coverage and Judd recognized that the ball was going to be underthrown.
You're expected by number eight, Judd, Justinik.
Beautiful play that time.
Big defensive stand.
Number 50, James and
Piskall applied the pressure for the Red Devils.
Ball was intended for Crispin
and Justinik with the interception.
That's the second interception for the Red Devils.
Yeah, and James and Piskall was almost going to have another sack.
At their own 15 yard line.
27 to go second quarter.
two timeouts left 24 to 15 well this is where the red devils were a few minutes ago and they kind of went backwards so first and 10 red devils ball on the 15 yard line
Justin, Nick and Peterson, and this is Peterson.
He's got a hole up the right
side.
One going to beat at the
first base.
Peterson at the 50, 45, 40, and Braco inside flooring.
35 yard line.
Beautiful blocking up front that time.
Beautiful run.
That'll
change
momentum.
35 to the 50, 45.
September
8th, looks like a
51 yard run for Peter Sandman, another first down for the Red Devils.
Well that's how you get out of a hole.
That is, that's how you change momentum of the ball game.
Yep, and I'll tell you what, Rod, number eight for them, Dieterville, did an excellent job chasing them down though because that could have easily been six points.
That was a 51 yard run.
First in 10 for the Red Devils on the Florence 34 yard line.
This is Justin Eric, breaks the tackle, gets in for the second level and brought down at the 30 yard line.
Pick up over the wall 4.
Got a
minute
46 to
go
here.
Red
Devils with two time over.
First down will
stop the clock.
Second down in 6 from the Florence 30.
Second in 6.
Clock running with a minute 30 left
in the...
That
was taking their time in the huddle, time rounding down here.
Justin Neck and Peterson lined up side by side, Logallo in the slot.
Goes to Peterson right side, he's going to get the first down down the sidelines and he's going
to be knocked
out.
Nice run.
The same play they just ran.
Yeah.
They found a weak spot on that
left side of the defensive
line.
Pick up the 25 yards
on that
carry.
And there'll
be another first call for the Red
Devils.
They're knocking on the door.
Big time.
Yep, the Florence 5 yard line with 107 to go here in the second quarter.
What do we got there for?
What is that 20?
The carry?
Yeah.
25 yards.
25 yards?
Yep.
I got this
little beam
in front of me.
I don't see a beam there.
What do you mean?
It's there.
Did you mark the first down?
Yeah.
Okay, just checking.
Peterson.
Touchdown.
That's a bad snap.
Peterson picked it up off the ground.
And he watched in pretty much on
touch.
And just like that, Ironwood answers.
Yeah, big touchdown.
Number four with a five yard run.
Four ran for five for six.
Yep.
And that was Blake Peterson pretty much carrying the load on that He had a run of 51 yards a run of 25 and then the touchdown from six yards So beautiful job two-point conversion here.
Let's get this Red Devils will go for two Peterson

All right back here at Longyear Field 32 to 15 Ironwood up As we are at the one-minute mark of the second quarter and Fisco has the ball teed up Now deep for the Bobcats is number eight Luke Deederville The Bobcats will get the ball in the second half Yes
They get the ball.
Here's the run-up and the kick.
High end over and kick.
Come down to Deederville at the 20 yard line, 25-30 and he is... Nice job.
Beautiful job.
Let's see what we got there.
We got three or four Red Devils down there.
Beautiful job.
Deederville on return.
He's
first in ten.
We got Katsich with the tackle.
We got also
Well three or four guys
It's
hard to pick up number
it is
real quick it is
like I said this beam I
It's hard to pick up tackler.
They just they jump off that pile and they don't you don't know which one's actually on the tackle and It's even harder sometimes to figure out who recovered a fumble.
Yeah Don't let anybody get behind you know All right Koski split out wide right McCoy is the quarterback and looks like
Crispin might be the receiver on the left side.
There's the staff to McCoy.
And they're a heavy rush and caught by McCoy, but he's tackled it away.
Very nice play.
That's a complete
two, coffee, pulled out by number one, Trula Gallo, and 17 RJ Castillo.
This is the four yard game.
Did you see what happened there on that defensive play?
They put Castillo kind of
helping him on this side over here.
So once he caught that pass, he was right there to make the tackle.
Go back to pass, looking, looking, looking, and under shot is one receiver.
One receiver and three defenders.
Somebody else from Florence had to be open.
I would have three guys on number eight.
But the rush is getting there tonight too.
They're doing a nice job of rushing.
Putting pressure on this quarterback.
I can see I'm gonna run out of room here on the passing sets.
I've only got Four spots left.
I'm at the tele Florence coach.
That's it.
No more passing.
Yeah, I think you should get on it I think you should go down to half-time and tell him for me Third down in about six pass over to this man and Chris was gonna I thought he was gonna pick up the first down the passage said no way that was beautiful Wow.
Yeah, what I hit
Who called time out or what are they doing here?
Did I ever call time out?
No, I don't think anybody called time out.
I don't know why they stopped the clock.
Maybe he was out of bounds.
Maybe you can help.
Nope.
That's what Lane is asking.
What's
going?
Okay, I would it's gonna call time
out.
I'm
not sure what happened.
He must have been he must they must have called the timeout and they didn't see it or okay are the I don't know okay, so 14 seconds to go 32 to 15 I think I'd start the clock right now Florence has a fourth and one I Don't know what that was really though.
I think they must have called timeout That's what I'm thinking After that play and then the clock ran a little bit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Because the refs didn't notify up here right away.
So, here's my prediction, the old hook and ladder.
The old hook and ladder play coming up by Florence.
Well, I don't really think they care if they're going to throw an interception here, because there's 14 seconds left.
But I or would could return it for a touchdown, but I think right now you've got to have four guys back, four guys rushing, and that's about it.
Give them a shot underneath, but I like what you called right there.
That would be a neat play.
a tricky play to call
it
right now.
Kossy is going to line up at the quarterback.
He's got Crispin out wide right.
And it looks like number nine is, no, Crispin's on the left.
Yeah,
they got,
means Deederville's on the right.
You got three guys that are six, four, they all same kind of body size.
Kossky alone in the backfield.
Swing pass.
Well, it's kind of open ladder.
He didn't even get the first
down.
Yep.
But he's out of bounds.
So
So, two, two, two went to eight and I don't think
they made the first down.
They lost the yard.
What was I going
to do?
Go for it.
Go for it,
why
not?
They've been running the ball like crazy, so I just throw a little screen pass out to Peterson and let him run with a few blockers.
I don't think they need a screen pass.
He's been so successful running up the right side.
They may have run that same play.
Well, they got a safety guy back there.
Yeah, they got three.
Yeah.
Peterson, Justin Knack in the backfield.
Ball's going to go low snap to Peterson.
There he goes off the right side.
Just like I said, Joey's got room to run, but now he's going to run into a couple of guys in white jerseys, and that won't do it.
No, one
second.
One second.
Oh, all right.
Here's on the carriage stop by number 24 Oliver Church from the 41 what is quickly
called down to the 25 so
it's a pickup of 16 And another first down for the Red Devils.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, I marked that They should
yeah, you forget to mark those first.
Oh, yeah, that's why I keep bringing them up.
I know I hear you I said a kick a field goal
See what Pisco's got, right?
The kickoffs were going pretty good.
Yeah, I probably could kick it.
I think they're just gonna... Oh, we don't know.
We'll see.
They gotta have something up their sleeve for this.
One second left.
One second left.
Yep.
Let's see if Kevin's got a trick play in his back pocket.
That is a prevent.
They got two linemen rushing.
They got three linebackers, about ten yards beyond the ball, and then they got three guys at the five yard line.
So, Lawrence is basically saying, find an opening and they're ready to ask.
Oh boy, oh
boy.
Cassage out wide left.
Justin Eck and Peterson, Justin Eck's going back to pass.
They tried, that was going to be a hook and ladder.
Yep, that was going to be it.
The ball was thrown underneath the cabinet and it bounced in front
of them and then they had a true legato
coming
Yeah, look at the letter plate.
It did not work.
We're at halftime with the score.
I'm here with 32, Lauren's 15.
We'll take a five-minute break.
I believe the MHSAA halftime thing will be on and then we'll come back with stats, comments and
Whatever
after that.
Back in fire.
Grand Rapids was the officiating capital of the world for one day and we introduce a new series on why officials officiate.
I'm John Ross and this is This Week in High School Sports powered by the Michigan Achievement Scholarship and coming to you from the 1-800-CALL-SAM studio.
In late July, about 1,000 MHSAA registered officials attended Officiate Michigan Day at DeVos Place in Grand Rapids.
Some of the biggest names and officiating from across the country were on hand to lead discussions, workshops and training sessions.
The two keynote speakers were Mike Pereira, a former college and NFL official who is now the TV Rules Analyst for Spock Sports, and Kerry Sites, the current Vice President of Ruffering for U.S.
Soccer, and the former FIFA Head of Ruffering.
Sites is also a graduate of Brighton High School and Michigan State University.
Officiate Michigan Day was designed to benefit officials with any level of experience, veteran to beginner.
High-profile clinicians representing several sports in all levels including the NFL, NBA, MLB, NCAA, FIFA, and the National Women's Soccer League provided face-to-face training during four sport-specific breakout sessions throughout the conference.
This was the third Officiate Michigan Day joining events in 2013 and 2018 and for more check out the officials page at mhsa.com
It's time for game balls when we highlight a trio of standout performances from the past week.
We lead things off with the volley turf takeover at Lansing Catholic where Williamson and Lansing Catholic both won volleyball matches played outside on the Cougars football field.
Elliott Bigger had a goal and to assist in Traverse City Christians win over Manistee, the first standalone boys soccer game for Traverse City Christian.
Previously, they had been in a co-op with T.C.
St.
Francis.
and a Hart Jr.
Silas Ackley, he led a trio of pirates in the top 10 as Hart came in first at the Pete Moss Cross Country Invite.

Our weekly Be The Referee feature takes a look at the fine art of officiating with MHSAA registered official Paige Winnie.
We're on the football field today where the offense has the ball on their own 20-yard line.
It's third and 10.
They run a draw play with the running back getting nine yards before fumbling at the 29-yard line.
The fumbled ball goes forward to the 35-yard line before another offensive player recovers.
Where should the ball be marked?
Because the ball was recovered in bounds, it's first down for the offense at the point of recovery, the 35-yard line.
If the ball had rolled out of bounds at the 35-yard line before anyone could recover it, it would have been brought back to the spot of the fumble, the 29-yard line, making it fourth and one for the offense.
Thanks, Paige.
There are lots of reasons to get in and stay in officiating.
Each week we hear from a current or former official in a segment called What's My Why.
This week we hear from Mike Pereira, who is currently the football rules analyst for
Fox Sports.
I didn't want to officiate when they first came to me.
I said no.
I said no.
My dad would officiate.
That's a why.
I said I don't have any desire to.
And they said, well, why?
I said, because I don't.
Well, your dad officially.
Well, maybe that's it.
I used to go to games and watch him get yelled at.
But it's $10 a game.
It's $10 a game on Sunday, three games, $30 cash.
I was a college student with no money.
I said, I always thought I wanted to officiate.
And out I went.
And it was kind of interesting that that first quarter of the first game, the first Pop Warner game, first quarter, parents are yelling at me.
I didn't know what the hell I was doing.
Kids, little kids running around.
And it was like somebody injected me with adrenaline.
I found my passion in life.
As stupid as that may be sound, I found my passion in life.
Now more than ever, we need officials.
If you're interested, go to the MHSAA website now to register and to check out other What's My Wise.
You've been listening to this week in high school sports powered by Michigan's Student Aid, a production of the MHSAA network.
Thanks for joining us here in the 1-800-CALL-SAM Studio.
I'm John Ross, and we'll be back next week.
All right, back here along your field.
We are at halftime with the score.
The Red Devils 32 and the Horns Bobcats 15, taking a look at stats, first of all, for Florence.
Not much doing for them.
They had success on one pass play that led to a touchdown.
In the running game, let's see, Mason Koski has seven carries for 11 yards.
Eli Morefski had four carries for 33 yards.
Logan McCoy has two carries for minus six yards.
And number eight, Luke Peterville, two carries for 15 yards.
That's 15 carries on the ground for 53 yards.
They were nine out of 17 passing for 121 yards.
174 yards total offense for the bobcats.
They also had one, two, three penalties, which cost them 20 yards, three first downs by passing, three by rushing, and one by penalty.
And that are the stats for the bobcats.
For Ironwood, Judd Justinik, 14 carries for
87 yards and Blake Peterson has 10 carries for 221 yards.
Those were the only ball carriers.
Or Ironwood was either Peterson or Justin.
That's 15 carries.
24 carries on the ground for 308 yards.
and one for two in the passing game for a seven-yard touchdown pass.
So add another seven yards, that's 315 yards total offense for the Red Devils.
Two interceptions by the Red Devils, one by Randall Cassett, two by Justin Nick.
Red Devils have nine first downs by rushing and I don't think they got any by passing.
Pretty much domination right now by the Red Devils.
Joe made his way down to the professional stand and making his way back up here.
That's why it's only one voice right now.
Are you doing a good job?
Offensively and defensively.
Lawrence got some bigger bodies out there but they're doing a good job.
Jameson Pisco having a great first half here in numerous tackles.
I kind of wish we were charting tackles but we just don't have
They don't have the capabilities to do all
that.
Good sounding band.
Did you hear her over there?
Well, I heard a little bit.
She's going off on that, uh, what do you call a song?
You guys play this too.
Oh, is that Waipo?
Yeah.
Oh yeah, I see you're doing that, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
She is pretty good.
Yeah.
Oh.
I'm sure the listening audience can hear her.
Yeah, doing a great job.
I ain't even talk during that.
Yeah.
Very good.
I did the stat tree already.
Did you?
Take away my glory.
Hang on.
Nice.
Nice rendition of the white ball.
Very good job.
Not D white ball.
I got you.
Yeah, I did your
stats.
I did the totals.
But I got 315 yards total offense for the Reddbells compared to 174 by the Bobcats.
Yeah.
And about 60 of it or 70 of it was that pass play
that they
had.
Yeah, that one long pass play.
So Ironwood with the lead 32 to 15 here at halftime.
Yeah, take a look at scoring summary.
I would score at first 9-11.
They had the ball.
They gave it the just the next six times, I believe, and he took it the distance.
It was forgot how long of a run or how long the drive was.
About 60 yards, maybe?
Yeah,
with six players
for... Yeah, you're right on cue, buddy.
Was it on the 40 yard line?
9-4, 9-11 to go in the first quarter.
They put six points on the board.
Two point conversion was good.
And then they had a pass.
Justin had to get two Legallo on the two-yard line on the third and seven from the third goal from the seven.
Legallo caught it at the two, walked in, gave Ironwood a 16-0 lead.
Florence got on the scoreboard with a 46-yard pass with 11-19 to go in the second quarter.
Kick for extra point was good and at that point it was
16-7 with 11-19 to go in the second quarter.
Ironwood, Justin, it was a two-yard run at the 9-20 mark of the second period.
Six more for the Red Devils.
They put the two-point conversion also good and they went up 24-7.
Florence answered with a two-yard run by Mason Koski.
Kick was blocked, made it 24-13 and Ironwood on a bad snap on a punt.
The passage went back to the end zone, fell on the ball, it was a safety for Florence, made it 24 to 15, and then on a nice, nice drive to recover after that.
That was just a bad drive when they, they lost yarders and
they had
a bad snap on the punt.
But they recovered Peterson, what do you call it, 46 yards on that one run late in the second quarter.
51
yards, 51
yards, gave Arnie Wood, really flipped the field at that point,
and
Arnie Wood took it in.
Peterson ran it in from five yards out with one minute to go in the second quarter and the two-point conversion was good and that's where we stand now 32 to 15 and I think Kevin Lane has to be pretty happy.
I think so too Rod the very nice first half offense was almost flawless I mean they had that one drive like you said that's kind of went backwards and they had but otherwise I'll tell you what their offense is having a real nice day 315 yards total
in the first half, so that's a nice first half of football.
That's a nice game for some teams.
It is, you know.
Yes, it
is.
And, you know, as we were doing the Hurley game last week, we talked about their running game and this Ironwood running game is doing spectacular tonight.
And when you think about the youth on that team that's out there, that's what's really impressive.
You know, it's, I'll tell you, it is so interesting watching these kids because the sophomores and freshmen,
You
know, I mean
they got a yeah, they got it one senior on the whole team and Then a couple juniors and but it's just you know, it's good coaching.
It's knowing what your kids can do They got a really nice set in the backfield with the quarterback and running back You know those two guys back there and they do a nice job and I wonder if they had to pass it'll be interesting to see throughout the season if they have to pass all that works for Yeah, because they only two to pass.
Yeah, right?
Yeah, but they only have to know why you know, but a man football is different
You know, A-man football, you got some speed in the backfield like they do, and two nice backs back there with Justin Ack and with Peterson.
I'll tell you what a duel.
They line up side by side, they both cut their hands out, they both look like the snaps could go to either one, and they mixed it up between who's getting the ball.
And you know the other thing, Rod?
We can't go without saying the offensive line has been doing a great job locking.
Oh yeah.
Yes.
Because they're giving them a little gap to go through and those guys hit the hole.
So that offensive line is really doing a nice job and it's fun to watch.
So we've got a second half of football coming up and with Ironman leading right now 32 to 15 and we'll see.
We'll see if Florence comes out with some new wrinkles or
a firewood changes up a little bit or whatever I don't think I would on offense has to change up much what do you think I
don't just
keep it going like they're doing and Florence went to some different types of trick plays a few here you know lined up for receivers on one side and stuff like that so you know they just
They're looking for something that will work
and
so far it hasn't except for one pass.
You hit it.
Very good.
Yep.
All right, let's take one minute break.
We'll come back with the kickoff to start the third quarter with Ironwood open print 32 to 15.
We'll be back in 60 seconds.

All right back here along your field as both teams have made their way over to the respective sidelines actually Florence is still loosening up a little bit It looks like about ready to take the field and I believe you will be kicking off.
Yes, you are correct More football tomorrow afternoon from Wakefield as the forgiving minors
kick off their season and boy do they have a formidable fall in the north central jets and they have some payback after last year and a lot of those guys have graduated but um there's still some payback from last year and let's see if the miners can get this victory tomorrow night since the um is the miners quarterback still oh yes okay as the last time last I last I heard okay he's uh coming up a sold shoulder surgery
But you never know, at some point he might just say he feels good and if the doctor is clear on the play, which is always a possibility, but last I heard it's going to be line-out at quarterback, but we won't know for sure until tomorrow.
I saw him in the scrimmage last Friday and mine just looked pretty good and what I see against Ironwood right here
Because I went into that scrimmage thinking, okay, go give it a look good, but look how young Ironwood is.
See what I see here in the first half.
I'm a little more impressed with the miners because they look very good against this Ironwood team.
Does that make sense?
Yeah, kind of.
Well, to me it did.
Probably not to the listeners, but to me it did.
Kind of sort of.
No, you did.
It made sense.
So we'll be kicking off in the second half.
Nice kickoff.
He's been having some good kickoffs.
Sure has.
He's got the ball slanted on the tee more than I've seen other kickers.
Looks like the way I used to set it up on the tee, but most times you see the ball almost like upright on the tee, but he's got it way back on a 45 degree angle.
Well, that's the way I used to kick it when I leaned it back like that so I could get under more of the football.
He must have caught that.
He must have went
to your kicking champs
there.
Yeah.
1978 I had a kicking
half.
Oh, I think he was born then.
Is that good end over and kick to the 20 yard line taken by number nine?
This is Chrisman and is he still on the ground?
He's wrapped up finally at the 41 yard line.
And you know what?
I know the tackle wasn't made by Kastich, but
I'll
tell you what, he was 20 yards behind
the play he came sprinting up
and helped a little bit.
That's the kind of play I bet you these
coaches
strike.
Never quit running.
Never quit.
It's
kind of like that volleyball coach.
Don't let the ball hit the ground.
Don't let it run.
You're never out of the play.
That was a nice interview this morning.
It was.
All right.
Bobcats first and ten on their own 41 yard line traveling 32 to 15 just on the way here in the third quarter.
and hand up goes to where they got Koski in the backfield and he's got a head of steam going up there.
Koski has lined up at quarterback, fullback
and wide receiver.
And
high formation that time
it looked
like.
That
guy's playing all over the place.
I know.
And they've got so many different formations they use.
Yes.
Now who's lined up?
And Christmas is going to come out here as a wide right.
cornerback again they got Koski in the pullback position and up to Koski again gets ahead of steam going
in and
trips up by yes beautiful tackle by Landon Johnson wow
that's a beautiful play there
from the 45 yard line.
I would not want to see Koski get out in the open field.
I think he'd be very hard once he got a hit of steam going.
He needs you playing nose tackle right now.
All right, Aiden.
Jamison Pisco on the outside.
36, fake to Koski and a quarterback to me.
Wow.
Jamison Pisco that time said you're not getting around me.
He didn't have a chance.
Aiderville stopped in the back hill
by number 50.
And this kid's only
a
sophomore to a sophomore and he's 6-1-2-20.
I'm gonna say a loss of 8 I think.
And are they going for it now?
They're not gonna punt?
Oh, I would.
Well, you don't buy this much.
No, you only don't buy 17.
Oh, it looks like he's backing up a little bit.
I think he'll kick.
That's Koski.
He's going to punt.
Nice kickoff.
Ball's going
to roll down inside the five.
That was a nice punt down to the six yard line.
Koski caught it.
Back on the punt formation he caught it and he ran towards the end
with sidelines.
The
last
second
punt of it.
You know that takes
discipline because
the linemen
They got to stay, they got to stay on the line and scrimmage, don't they?
And they can't look back to see what
a castle
is.
Yeah, just the whiteouts can do that.
Well, you know what this tells me?
An eight-minute, 95-yard drive.
All right.
I like that
prediction.
Yep.
I know it's been running the ball very well right now, even though it's coming out a half-time.
9-41 to go, third period, and Red Devils take over on their own five-yard line.
This is their worst starting position of the night Just the neck and Peterson side-by-side in the backfield snap goes to Peterson going off the right side these trips and he might have lost a yard.
Oh, but Somebody got in there.
I think
I was number nine
For Bobcats, Crisman got in there and tripped him up before he could get to the corner.
Now I do have a beam in front of me Rod.
Now you do, yes.
Now you do.
I'm going to scoot over a little bit.
Maybe that's the move I need to make.
I'm making the call on that.
All right.
You want to hang out the window?
I'll hold you by the feet.
You want to go up there.
Second in 13, ball on the iron with two yard
line.
And this is Peterson.
I believe yep back up to the original line of scrimmage.
I should bring my binoculars next time.
Peterson on the carry.
This is actually the original line
of
scrimmage.
Yeah,
assuming a third and ten.
I mean you get a third down and ten for your right double.
It's a huge play for Ironwood.
Last time they went in upon formation they gave up a safety.
You know right back in this part of the field.
Yeah, they don't
want to
you don't want to putt from down here who but Third and ten here for the Red Devils 825 to go third quarter Red Devils going towards the North End zone Bopcats confused on defense the guys running back and forth and this is just the neck and he's gonna be short of the push down but kind of dealt to about the ten yard line that Gives
them under a little more room
Ball
is not spotted in the ten yard line before it's down in six.
The caskage goes back into punt formation.
And this kid's quick back here this receipt, punt returner.
Number eight?
Yeah.
Luke DeDeville, yeah.
Caskage standing in the end zone.
Let's see if they can get a good snap here.
The lap ball was, I don't know if it was partially blocked.
Now it's going to roll through both the
Oh, he shot up through him on it.
I don't think he touched it.
I don't think he did, but it was close.
So the ball was, the ball didn't go very far.
It bounced out about the 20 yard line.
And there was a Florence Bobcat just kind of hanging around the ball.
And that's where you want to get away from the ball.
I wouldn't, I know it's football.
I know, but if he didn't push him, he was
going to try to pick that ball up.
I think so.
Yep.
And that would have been a huge mistake.
But a decent punts considering he had a strong rush on him the guy from ironwood I forgot I didn't see who was we tried to push the bobcat onto the ball
Yeah,
the guy the guy from Florence smartly jumped over the ball close though so 20 first and 10 from the ironwood 29 yard line That was about a 24-yard punt.
There's a pass out to the left and it's short One hopper to the
receiver on the left side.
I'm telling you, that other quarterback that they have, that number
three,
let me take a look at his name here, that Logan McCoy, he seems to have a better throwing arm than their starter does.
I think so.
Okay, I only have room for one more pass.
Did you tell the coaching staff?
I did, I warned, I got another sheet over here if you need it.
I'll just go on the back.
I think we're gonna be seeing a lot of passes.
Koski on a keeper, looks to turn the corner and he does and he'll get close to the 20 yard line.
He's gonna be short of the first down.
Koski on the keeper, second by number one through the dollar.
Kicked off about eight, I believe.
Yeah, it's what, third and two now?
Yep, third and two.
Ball on the Ironwood 21 yard line.
Clock running with 640 left
here in the first
half.
Third quarter.
I'll get it straight sooner or later.
All right, so now they got Koski in the full back position.
And the ball goes to Deederville.
Offside on Ironwood's defense as they jumped into the neutral
zone.
Offside penalty on the Red Devils.
With all the play will be in Florida.
First down at the
15 yard line.
Not a real smart play doing that kind of stuff.
You can't make those mistakes.
Lawrence is second first down by penalty.
It's a new set of downs for the Bobcats ball on the 16 yard line.
Yes.
Koski takes the handoff, keeps it off the right side and he'll...
He lost the fumble, but
it went out of bounds.
It was down to heat on the ground, so.
Duffy on the carry, fourth out on by number one to Legallo.
Pick up of about...
about eight yards on that one.
Second out in two.
I don't know why Florence doesn't keep doing that.
Yeah, he is a strong runner.
He is.
And all he needs is one block on that side
right now
three four yards on his own
Well,
they're they're beating them to that side now that defensive ends get blown off the ball.
He's got to get a little stronger over there Second and eight second and two rather and now goes to do
though
and that plays out in the world And
guess who?
Another beautiful play by Pisco
and Pisco is cramping up out there
That's usually a cramp.
Yeah.
Lots of a bolt.
Let's see a loss of six on that one.
We got a little break in the action.
They're going to help this go.
I'm sure that's just a cramp.
Yeah.
Just going to walk it off.
Easy to say when you don't have one, right?
Yeah, I
got a cramp going for the cookies over there.
Did you?
Yeah.
Wow Well, that's what I got to go around you then I go around bed over there and then I got a cut over around head I got three blockers blocking those cookies over there.
We were told to keep you away from the cookies Marissa's text us and said play defense three blockers over there.
Oh Now they got those burners over there too.
I might get a burner All right, so they make they give help Pisco off
You know sometimes those cramps linger too.
Oh, they do like you don't just come back in the game right away You got a new nose tackle.
Aiden goes out to the white out or even G on a side outside linebacker.
Sorry Trying to get my football brain going here.
They're in about seven.
Yeah, like my volleyball.
He's a path out to the right side and they're heavy pressure.
Yeah
He was in there on that
one.
That
was number 11.
Jalen Carulo.
A beautiful job that type.
Brings up a
fourth down.
Stops the clock with 5.14 left here in the third quarter.
32 to 15.
I hear what on top.
Kick a field goal now and cut it to 14.
It would be a what right now.
I guess it's out of his range.
It's about a 40 yard field goal.
So big fourth down here for I was defense fourth and about seven Toskey alone in the backfield Back to pass that times got a guy out there and overshot him right open.
Yep, and you see what I'm saying I I think that other quarterback is a better thrower than
That low that Logan McCoy has a better more.
He's more accurate has a better spiral.
I know this is your guy Mason Koski.
I mean he does a lot of other things, but right now Yeah, I I'd open I agree with you.
Yeah, he's he seems to throw a better path.
Yeah
and He's not a bad receiver.
No, but I'd use him and totally I don't know why I mean
I guess I'm
not at the practices and that but that's just
Because he was wide open across the middle there and had a chance for a touchdown.
He didn't have to rifle it in there.
He could have just laid it out in front of
him.
Yeah,
that was a bullet pass and all he had to do was lob it in the back of the end zone and the guy would have ran under it.
Well, good for Ironwood, I'm glad.
5-10 to go here in third quarter, 32 to 15.
Red Devils take over and Justin Eck up the middle and picks up about five yards.
Justin Eck on
the dairy.
Well down by number two Mason coffee and three Logan McCoy And I was gonna go no huddle
there five in place.
I like this.
I like the face for I would Just like now alone in the backfield kind of a new formation here for I would Spread out the defense as close to Peterson
and he
caught it.
He's gonna get the first down I like it.
I like the little mix player
We'll
take a
break as well.
424 to go third quarter.
Red Devils 32.
Bobcats 15.
We'll be back in one minute.

They are going to pass.
Yes.
I'm going
to tip at the line of the scrimmage.

He's
going to keep it off the left side.
And it's tackled by Aiden Aegee.

Number 11.
Kailin Carulo.
Kallen Carulo.
Second down and eight for the Bobcats.
That's a new quarterback with the yellow gloves.
First time I've seen him, I think.
I haven't seen yellow gloves out there yet.
Ball carrier
is...
Yep, I still can't see his number.
Nice by Landon Johnson.
Nice tackle.
All right, Deederville.
What do you
put gloves on this time?
Yep.
Getting a little dew on

coming out now.
A
little frost on the pumpkins.
Frost on the pumpkin.
All right, so third and about, third and about seven maybe?
Yeah, about third and seven, third and six.
Deederville stays at quarterback.
Koski still on the sidelines.
At least I think he's on the sidelines, although I don't see him.
Oh yeah, he's laying down over there.
You go back to pass, throws it up to the, oh, and nice through the hand.
Oh,
he did, he hurt footsteps that time.
That too, Carlton Brisbane is in complete
fourth down for the Bobcat.
What do you do here if you're a Bobcat now?
You've got 252 left in the third quarter, you're down by
What's I can't see that over there's a 3850 23 23, you
know,
there's another beam in my way I got all kinds of beams in my way over here.
We need to be like a big scoreboard right over the field I think we still like the call boys.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's what
we need.
Well, they have a cost scoreboard over the field All right big four down and seven You need to go back to pass almost lost it
Looking, looking, looking under him, gosh, and this is going to be under thrown number 24.
Number 24, Oliver Church is incomplete.
Oliver Church
is a drive
stall.
Yes, Kailin Carulo did a wonderful job.
Well, I'm not much to say that you could seal a game in a third quarter, but if you score here, you know.
247 to go and I will take over on the Bobcat 42 yard line.
It is getting dark earlier though.
It's only 758 and the lights are on.
I
know.
Just to neck up the middle and he's going to score.
Wow.
Wow.
Just in it.
42
yards out.
Is that the same play?
Exactly the same play.
Exactly the same play.
They blew a hole on that left line and he just went There was no stopping him.
I mean, he's fast.
Yeah, he is he is I thought You know just watching it.
He is fast like Lyndon
239
to go a third period and third quarter Yeah, I will put six more on the board and let's see if
they're gonna
If
we're going to try to pass this one in again, try something different.
You're open.
Now they got the receivers in tight, so this would be a run.
Just the neck.
And they're going to pass it.
And it's caught.
And the ball will get in.
Now he stepped out of bounds.
Pushed out of bounds.
I can't win.
I can't win, Joe.
That's
okay.
That's okay.
I hear it was winning.
That's all
that
matters right now.
44 to 15 is 239.
239 to go.
Yeah.
All
right.
And we'll be back in 30 seconds with the Red Devils kickoff.
Have we said that before tonight?
Yeah, we said it about five times.

Senex, powered locally.
All right, back here in Irwin.
I'm a newbie up here, so I guess I don't get any choices on soda.
You can you can throw it out there, but I could I can toss it out there It's falling on deaf ears with you know next week being a conference game be nice to have donuts up here, wouldn't it?
It'd be nice to have pizza.
Oh Here they got they got a lot of like living we got a lot of guys back But 239 to go in this ballgame 44 to 15 Red Devils Justin Icon back-to-back long runs.
Yeah
Has blown this game wide open.
Is this... Is this a new kicker?
Yeah, Peterson
with the kick.
Paul's going to bounce at the 23, picked up by Crispin, I believe, and at the 30, looking to turn the corner, and he's going to run out of bounds.
Yep.
Yeah, that was Detergill, actually.
Oh, Detergill took off the Detergill
gloves on.
I
don't see the
yellow gloves.
I don't know how I can miss them.
First in 10
for the
Bobcats.
They're only
36.
You know, except for that long pass for a touchdown, they really had a struggle on offense.
Yeah, they stifled them pretty good.
Ironwood's defense playing very well, made some nice adjustments, and back at quarterback now it's Koski, huh?
Yes, looks like he's back in.
Good to see that.
Receiver split out wide left wide right Costco loan the backfill under a heavy rush there's a note and this one is intercepted by Ironwood and this thing always you see here like Peterson
oh
yeah
number four
he's having a big game
Number two, nine, is intercepted by four and the Red Devils take over.
First in ten on their 35 yard line.
Yeah, we got
a ways to go on running clock.
No, one more touchdown by
Irwin.
An unsportsmanlike penalty call on the bobcat.
Wow.
Unsportsmanlike penalty.
I didn't see that.
Joe, did you?
I was looking up at the scoreboard.
Yeah.
I think that coach is not happy for Florence right now.
He's looking at somebody else there right now.
And if that kid comes to the sidelines, I don't
think...
Follow him now at the sweat yard line.
No one's looking at the coach at that
moment.
No,
they're all looking at it.
Straight ahead.
None of them are paying attention to the coach.
There was something that was done out there.
It's a lot of move the ball.
It's kind of been 20 yard lines.
Oh, sorry.
Something that was said, too.
That's true.
Yep.
And there's a penalty
on the
right.
Yep.
It was a little, uh, all start penalty on the right.
That whole foot shuffle there for my
error.
It was down at 15.
First in 15 ball back on the 25 223 to go third quarter 44 down the rule sideline and he's gonna be carried out of bones
25.
They're at the 12 now.
13 yards.
I'm getting
pretty good at this man.
Second down.
About three.
Second in three for the Red Devils.
Yeah, when I went to the concession stand there was a decent crowd.
You got decent fans here for the first game
right
here.
That's
nice.
Second
in three Peterson up the middle, and I think he's going to be just shy of the first down I Had to get to the ten he got to the ten and yeah
seven and a
half
Third and
inches for the Red Devils.
While sitting between the 10 and 11 yard line, they got to get to the 10 for a first down.
That's something straight ahead.
Justin, that just backs
his
way down
to
the eighth.
Two yards pick up and another first down.
Touchdown here is going to move it to a running clock.
Yeah,
right.
And I still see on the sidelines James and Pisco who had a wonderful game tonight.
I no need to put them back in there.
They let them work those cramps out.
I agree.
All right, no sense in pushing them back in there.
You don't even know there's a quarter to go, but that fourth quarter will go fast if it goes to running clock.
Yeah.
Justin, they're going to shotgun.
Goes off the right side, and he runs into a sea of white fear.
I think they're Keyans.
You know, just next on the territory, he's stopped by a pack of bobcats.
We're down to 48
good ones
to go.
A pack of bobcats.
I like that one.
Second and goal for your red level.
Second and a ball.
Oh, goal, right?
So second and ten.
Second and goal from
the ten.
Back to the first and go from the eighth.
Cassage goes out wide right.
Castillo wide left.
The running back back there.
Peterson bobbles the snap, picks it up, and he'll plow his way to about the seven, make it a third and go from the seven.
Let's
see who the new running
back
was.
27.

Okay, back here in Ironwood.
Well, hey, Rod, guess what?
We got one of our legends of radio listening out in Cody Wyoming.
Oh, I bet I know who that is.
Who is that?
That'd be Sam in the morning.
Yes, it is.
He said a big hello from him out there.
Thank you, Sam.
Peter's in around the left side and he walks in on touch on the first play from the fourth order.
And he'll put six more on the board for Iron Loop.
Cody Wyoming.
Wow.
Look at where that is.
Seven yard run?
You
might need that
light on, though.
11.54.
Four periods, six points, and I'm not even going to guess what they're going to do on this extra point.
I'm going to leave it up to you, Joe.
You call it.
Well, you're either going to run it or pass
it.
It's a good call.
Yep.
Peterson and he's going to walk in on touched for the two-point conversion and Red Devils put two more on the
board and
that makes it 52 to 15
with
11.54 to go in the ball game.
We'll have running clock now when we come out of this timeout and once the kickoff is over.
So we will take a 30 second break.
Come back with Iron Woods
kickoff after this message.

All
right, back here in Ironwood, 11.54 to go in the ballgame.
52 to 15 as Ironwood gets set to kick off and looks like Peterson will do the kicking.
That is Lake Peterson, 6 foot 175 pound sophomore.
Florence appears to go to 0 and 2 tonight.
Yeah, I mean, it's 11.54 left in this game.
We can pretty much almost safely say that it looks like Ironwood's going
to have a victory here.
I wonder, I mean, I haven't done, it's been a while since I've done some Ironwood games, but you know what?
Is there a call in this game?
And that is the end of
the game.
Lawrence wants to get on
the road,
and they have forced
it at the fourth quarter.
That maybe that's not the right turn.
Wow.
Let's close it.
Alright, well that was...
That was an interesting little... I didn't think a team could do that.
Well, they have a long ride home.
Of course, the referees got to go longer.
They got to go to any mountain.
But yeah, they just...
You must
have said that's it.
So that's... I've never seen that in football.
I've never seen it.
Never.
And you go down 52 to 14.
We're
going to go running
clock.
It's going to take
probably 10 minutes.
All
right.
So final score
tonight,
52
to 15 as Florence once again.
Florence has decided not to play the fourth quarter.
So with that, we will take a five minute break.
We'll send it back
to the studio, give Joe and
I a
chance to
finish
our staff.
We're going
to come up with a smart choice.
We'll talk about that later.
OK.

Final score tonight, Ironwood 52 and Florence 15.
We are joined by Coach Kevin Lane.
Kevin, great win tonight.
What a way to start the season.
Yeah, great way to start the season.
We came in, we were looking for win number one.
You know, each week we need to find the next win.
Now we're on to number two.
Great way to start.
So proud of these kids for playing so hard tonight.
I saw, you know, when the Bobcats took the field, all you had said, their quarterback, when I talked to you, when I walked into the, I can say when I walked into the stadium.
You see these like 6'4", good size quarterback and stuff like that.
They had a couple other guys, about 6'4".
I mean, they looked very big, but
of why you guys played just a phenomenal game, offensively and defensively.
Yeah, they're a big team for sure.
I was a little nervous up front to start, you know, watching them on film, a big team.
But man, our linemen, we talked all week about finishing.
You know, we struggled in the scrimmage to finish our blocks.
We would get engaged, but then we quit.
We finished tonight.
You know, those linemen did a phenomenal job up front, made it easy on our backs.
Oh,
I guess so.
We could start offense first.
I mean,
You're two guys in the backfield there.
Peterson and Justin Eckman.
Good runners and fast.
They go outside.
And that's what you need in eight man football.
The holes were there, weren't they?
Yeah, the holes were there.
I shouldn't say it was easy for those guys.
They definitely did their part too.
The linemen made a very
Manageable is a better word, I suppose.
But yeah, those two backs we got, they're going to be special.
And that's only sophomores for us.
A lot of room to grow yet.
But two very good eight man football players right now.
Yeah.
I mean, you look at how young this team was, I figure.
You talked in the pregame.
There's going to be some learning curves here, but we don't know how good Florence is overall, but that's irregardless.
This was basically almost the JV team you put out there.
Yeah, and you know, we're not going to get too high on ourselves yet.
Great, great win for sure.
But we got to get back to work.
There's still something to clean up for sure.
We got Lakeland and next week and they're going to be a heck of a team.
So we got to prepare, told the boys, enjoy this for today.
But tomorrow we start watching film, we start getting back at it to prepare for Lakeland.
Some coaches say it never looks as bad as it looks, and it never looks as good as it looks.
That's kind of what you're saying there, right?
And you look good tonight.
But yes, it looked very good tonight, but there's always, we got to still improve.
We can never be satisfied.
No, it was pretty impressive though.
We came in looking at the young players and the way it was set up, it was like, wow, okay, that's a young team.
And these kids just played so hard.
Piscol.
Oh, he's something.
I don't even know how
many tackles he had.
We were trying to, we were going to keep track next time.
I mean, we keep stats, but he must have had 25 tackles at least.
I put pressure on a quarterback.
Aiden Agi did a nice job inside there holding his own.
You also had, what's his number one?
The crew legato.
Yeah,
he made some nice open field tackles.
Yeah, it was nice.
It was fun watching coach.
Yeah, and the two biggest things coming in that I was concerned about was our up front play.
and our open field tackle.
I thought those were probably two of the best parts of our game.
But with this crew, they're young, but they listen.
They take coaching, they work their tail off in practice, and they got it done.
Well, sitting up here, I'm sure
your coaches that are sitting up here too are telling you this, but your guys stayed home on those kickoffs.
They didn't over pursue.
They didn't even do it on defense either.
They did a nice job staying home.
So if there was a cutback of any sort, they at least were able to get
The
first hit on him and the help came afterwards.
Yep, and I thought we did a great job with pursuing defense too.
Struggled with that and the scrimmage too.
You know, that's the benefit of having a scrimmage.
Doesn't mean much, but we get these guys on film can actually see what we got to work on.
And like I said, they took coaching very well and they improved.
They learned.
Yes, they did.
It
could have got away from you there on that bad snap on the punt.
Cassius did a good job of jumping on it.
Florence was bearing down on him.
It could have easily been a touchdown.
The young team you got, they could have buckled.
They got the ball right back and Pearson with a long run, flipped the field right away.
You guys went down and scored.
Never looked back.
I mean, that's just for this young team.
They weren't fazed by that, that's good.
Yeah, no good group of kids.
Blake was a little down after his bad snap there, but like we told him in the locker room, they got two points out of it.
Could have been worse, could have got six right there, and he brought up.
Well, we got to stop on defense that same drive, then we went down score.
They understand the game very well, they understand what we expect, what we need them to do.
Yeah, and the decision by Florence, I've never seen a team
It wasn't going to be running clock, right?
So
basically, it's going to probably be a running game.
A game is going to be over within about 11 minutes anyway.
But they just chose to pack it up and go home.
Yeah, and their coach talked to me after the game.
He felt terrible about it.
He doesn't like to do that.
But they had eight healthy guys left.
Like he said, they have a full conference schedule coming up.
It's more important to them with the score the way it was.
I try to get some guys healthy, don't bang anyone else up.
So I understand it too.
And nice for them to come down here.
Otherwise, you would not have a game.
Yeah, absolutely.
You
wanted a
game.
Absolutely.
They reached out to us first.
They wanted to play us.
They worked all great.
Yeah.
That's your home game.
You got your game under your belt now as Lake Linden.
Lake Linden's got a lot of guys coming back.
I think all three Axxords are back.
Davitella's back.
That's going to be a different kind of opponent, but you got to win.
That's nice tonight.
Build on this one, like you said, and then look at the film and keep going forward.
Yeah, those Axford boys and that Davatilla, they're tough kids.
They're tough kids.
We got to step it up a little bit.
You know, very happy with how it went, but...
Can't be satisfied.
What I like about doing like living games, if I say
Axford got the ball, I'm usually right.
Why don't I go to first names?
Yeah, I'll just say Axford with the ball
and I'm
usually right.
I'll tell you, watching the sure tackling tonight and watching the way this team is resilient enough after that, like Rod was saying, that fumble in the end zone then got on top of it.
I'll tell you what, this nice looking team.
Yeah, nice looking team coach.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
Yeah.
All right.
That's all I got.
Joe, anything?
Is that it?
Now
I got
Kevin to get into the locker room and be with the team.
Awesome win, Kevin.
We'll see you next
week.
What
is your next game,
though?
That's next week, right?
It's next Friday.
Next Friday here.
Lakeland.
All right, thank you guys.
Congratulations.
Heck of a ball game by Ironwood tonight.
There was.
Nice to watch.
52 points.
Yeah, a lot of
points.
It is.
And again, it's such a young team.
I know.
We can say that 100 times.
And no matter what happens, these kids are going to grow and get better.
You know what I mean?
They've got to keep their heads up all the time.
And it was just fun watching and to watch that backfield and then to watch Pisco on defense and just the defensive play that they had and the sure tackling.
I mean, teaching sophomores and freshmen that, they're usually playing JV ball.
Now they're playing, you know, varsity and they are definitely, I mean, doing a wonderful job.
So it was very impressive win tonight.
We do have a Hurley score.
You said that Hurley, you got a half score.
Hurley was up.
Let's see if I can find it.
I think you said 14-nothing.
14-nothing at the half.
Yeah.
So they're being a pretty good team and that's a lot of time left in that game also.
All right, take a look at stats real quickly for Florence in the rushing department.
Koski, get his first name in here.
Mason Koski had 12 carries for 33 yards.
Eli Morefki, we didn't see him much in the second half.
I wonder if he was one of the guys that was injured.
It might have been.
Yeah, he had four carries for 33.
And Logan McCoy had two carries.
He lost six yards on that.
On those carries, he lost a nine yard when he was back at quarterback and tried to scramble.
He lost nine yards on that.
And then number eight also had some carries, and that was Carson Crisman.
He had five carries for three yards.
So 23 carries on the ground for the Bobcats.
Six to three yards total in the passing game.
They were, let's see, let's see, four for six.
So they were nine out of 23 for 174 yards.
No completions in the second half.
So 237 yards total offense for the Bobcats.
And Joe, are you close to having something there?
Yeah, Airward had 460 total yards, most of it on the ground.
224 yards for the quarterback, Judd Justinak.
And the other running back-back there, Blake Peterson, had 236 yards.
So between the two of them pretty much ran the ball all night, and they ran it right down their throat.
So total 460 yards passing.
Not much to talk about.
There was one touchdown pass that they threw.
Ligallo had caught that one and he scored a touchdown, but otherwise there were not that many many passing for Irwin.
They just kept running the ball.
Yeah, well, they didn't have to.
They didn't have to do what works, you know.
So yeah, they look good.
They look good for being such a young team.
They got Lake Linden coming up next Friday night.
There'll be a different test for them.
Lake Linden is favored to be the top team in the conference.
And I know they've got, when I say the Axford, they got triplets.
Yeah.
And
And then they got this Josh Devatillo.
He's been playing as a freshman.
He should be a senior by now, I think.
And it's going to be a tough ball again for the big test.
Let's see what they can do.
All right, with that, we will send it back to the studio.
We'll take a one minute break.
And when we come back, we'll have our smart choice of the game.
52-15 final here.
Back in one minute.

And if you are looking to make a smart choice in your future, please consider contacting the great folks at Northwood Technical College and make a plan for your future.
They are located on Beezer Avenue in Ashland right next to the Ashland High School.
and our smart choice of the game.
Well, we talked about it a little bit with coach Lane, and you're going to say on that bad snap, catchers, Randall Cash was lined up in the, he's on about the two-yard line.
Snapp went over his head into the end zone.
He could have tried to grab it and make a play.
Popcats were bearing down on him.
He chose to jump on the ball, give him two points.
At that point, it was 24 to 13, he made it 24 to 15.
Had they scored it would have been 24 extra points, 24-20.
Might have been a whole different game.
So our smart choice of the game goes to Randall Cassage for having the wherewithal to jump on that ball and just give him two points.
So that's our smart choice.
So that will do it from Ironwood tonight.
52 to 15 as we only played three quarters of football.
Yeah, which is a it's a rare deal We talked about that one for a while, but I understand with a long ride home and kids I didn't realize he had that many I didn't get that many injuries either.
We're injured So I would move their record to 1 and 0 Florence falls to 0 and 2 they will play in that Agra next week on Thursday and I would will host Lakeland and Hubble here
friday randy charles will be here for that one join randy and myself tomorrow afternoon from wakefield as the gogubic miners take on the north central jets kickoff at five o'clock randy and i will go on the air at four forty five from cardinal field and then uh... they said we got football friday september fourth and uh... joe i think you're back with me in besmir as crystal falls horse park
