So, perhaps the Lakes can be viewed as a surprise as they sit just one...

Caleb Evosevich-Hynes took the counter handoff on a sprint before gaining the right edge and turning upfield. After breaking through the L’Anse defensive front, there was a moment when three Purple Hornet defenders had a decent enough angle at bringing down the elusive junior running back.

Escanaba dominates Gladstone in rivalry showdown, 35-0

This was Escanaba as a juggernaut. A team befitting of the No. 1 ranking putting on a performance that makes you wonder how deep in November this group of Eskymos can go. Even coaches, ever the constructive critics, readily told the team this was its best performance of the season before reminding them, “they’re not done yet.” The Eskymos’ 35-0...
