  • Speedboys win thriller in OT

    Eden Laase, Daily Mining Gazette, Houghton|Dec 5, 2017

    PAINESDALE — When the clock read 4:30 p.m. on Monday afternoon, Trent Keteri was hit with a sudden burst of nerves and his hands began to shake. The new Jeffers head coach was getting ready for his first game at the helm as the Jets took on visiting Bessemer. He could hardly stand the anticipation, but by the time the junior varsity game got underway, the nerves fell away. Good thing, too, because the overtime thriller was anything but relaxing. Bessemer defeated Jeffers 71-63 Monday at Jeffers in a game that exceeded Keteri's expectations. "...

  • Midgets' comeback runs out of time

    Jason Juno|Dec 5, 2017

    PORT WING, Wis. - South Shore looked every bit the part of conference favorite in the first half, building a 37-18 lead on Hurley, which looked every bit the part of a team working in new - but dynamic - pieces. In the second half, Hurley showed it may just be a sleeper in the Indianhead Conference, fighting back to within a possession. They ultimately lost 50-48, but they came away with a lot of positives. "I'm just pleased with how the kids bought into not going crazy in the second half,"...

  • Unstoppable: Midgets score 76, rush for 647

    Jason Juno|Oct 21, 2017

    TURTLE LAKE, Wis. --- While the score may have looked like it, Hurley didn't play a basketball game Friday night. Their football season shows no signs of ending anytime soon. Taking their offense to another level, the No. 4-seeded Midgets defeated No. 5 Turtle Lake 76-44 Friday night in a WIAA Division 7 Level 1 playoff game. Hurley compiled a video-game like 647 rushing yards, led by senior fullback Scott Subert's 318, and it was more than enough to offset the Lakers' vaunted passing attack....

  • Midgets clinch 20th straight playoff appearance with win over Gremlins

    Jason Juno|Oct 14, 2017

    HURLEY - Sure Hurley probably could have made the playoffs regardless of Friday night's result. But from the opening play of the game, when the Midgets' Isaac DeCarlo ran down and knocked the ball loose from Houghton's running back just short of what looked like a sure touchdown, you got the feeling pretty quickly they weren't going to leave anything to chance. The Midgets clinched a WIAA Division 7 playoff berth with a 22-6 West-PAC win over Houghton. It's their 20th straight trip to the postse...

  • Miners wrap up season with 30-22 loss at Calumet

    Paul Peterson, Daily Mining Gazette, Houghton|Oct 14, 2017

    CALUMET — After an offensive first half Friday night, the Calumet Copper Kings and Gogebic Miners decided to play some defense in the second half. The two teams were knotted at 22-22 after the first two quarters, but the only scoring in the final half came with six minutes to play when junior tailback Travis Ojala of CHS scooted in from 3 yards out. Matt Ojala took a pass from Brent Loukus for the 2-point conversion for an important 30-22 victory. The win lifted Calumet to 5-3 on the season and kept their hopes alive for a playoff spot. ...

  • Gladiators' comeback falls short, Witt piles up over 300 yards

    Pat Krause|Oct 14, 2017

    ONTONAGON - In a game loaded with offensive fireworks, Ontonagon made a fierce comeback, but Crystal Falls Forest Park held on for a 52-38 win in a Western Eight Conference battle with playoff implications for both teams. "The game was what we expected," Forest Park coach Dave Graf said. "It was hard-hitting, good physical football on both sides. I never thought we'd score 90 points. I thought we'd score four or five each (touchdowns). Ontonagon nearly came back on us. Jake Witt is the real deal...

  • Midgets score 22 unanswered to beat Miners

    Jason Juno|Aug 26, 2017

    HURLEY - For nearly all of the first half, the Hurley-Gogebic game was more than living up to the hype Friday night. The new-look Midgets looked solid, and the Miners, in their first game since Ironwood joined the Bessemer/Wakefield-Marenisco co-op, looked just as tough. Hurley, though, took control of the game with 22 unanswered points, including 14 in a crazy final minute, 22 seconds of the first half. The Midgets won 44-20 in front of a huge crowd. "It's a big win, we put up 44 on a good...

  • Croci-Steiger claim fifth Quarterback Club title

    Jul 29, 2017

    By LARRY HOLCOMBE [email protected] HURLEY - Golf is a game of numbers. It took four playoff holes for Jack Croci and Tim Steiger to win their fifth Hurley Quarterback Club golf tournament - the 20th annual held Friday at Eagle Bluff Golf Club - outlasting two other teams who also shot 4-under-par 66 for the day. Croci, from Hurley, and Steiger, from Bessemer, were all smiles afterwards as the shadows began to grow across the fairways. "It was a good day," said Croci of their two-man...

  • Hurley boys, Ironwood girls second at Ashland

    May 9, 2017

    ASHLAND, Wis. - The Hurley boys were a close second and the Ironwood girls were runner-up as Ashland swept its home track-and-field invite, the Welker, Monday. A chilly day with a strong wind off Lake Superior only got colder when it clouded up later in the meet. The Midgets finished just eight points behind Ashland, 138-130. Ironwood was fourth with Mercer seventh. Hurley's Isaac DeCarlo won the 100 and 200 dashes and he was first in the long jump. Teammate Kris Bluse was first in the 110...

  • Miners lose to Red Devils in first-ever softball game

    Pat Krause|Apr 26, 2017

    IRONWOOD – Anticipation was in the air as a large-sized crowd gathered to watch the Gogebic Miners and Ironwood square off in a softball game on Tuesday. Bessemer and Wakefield-Marenisco were playing as a co-op team for the first time in each school's history and many believed the two schools were playing softball as a high school sport for the first time ever. When it was over, a good Ironwood team defeated Gogebic 15-4, but the Red Devils only led 5-3 after three innings and the Gogebic f...

    MARQUETTE - Four area players were named to the All-U.P. team at Wednesday's 67th annual boys basketball meeting of the Upper Peninsula Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association. Ewen-Trout Creek's Jake Witt added to his collection of postseason awards by earning a spot on the Class D First Team.

  • Speedboys break through Crystal Falls mystique for district semifinal win

    Jason Juno|Mar 9, 2017

    REPUBLIC - Everyone had seen this before. Sure, Bessemer was up 11 at halftime, but here was dreaded Crystal Falls Forest Park - even with a sub-.500 9-11 record -with the lead in the fourth quarter, ready to upset the hottest Class D team in the Upper Peninsula outside of North Central. But the Speedboys made the plays down the stretch, finally dismantling the Crystal Falls' mystique with a 42-38 victory Wednesday night in the MHSAA District 127 semifinal. It's the first time since 2012 that...

  • Hancock dominates Bessemer

    Pat Krause|Feb 3, 2017

    BESSEMER — It's tough to win many games scoring 18 points in a varsity basketball game. That happened to the Bessemer Speedgirls on Thursday night and Bessemer went down to defeat at the hands of Hancock 60-18 in a non-conference game in the House of Noise. "Hancock plays tough man-to-man defense and they do it with six girls," Bessemer coach Gerry Pelissero said. "Our girls weren't comfortable playing against that defense. We only had five field goals (the whole game). "We survived the first q...

  • Midgets can't sustain hot-shooting 1st half, Cook boils Hurley for 52

    Jason Juno|Jan 21, 2017

    HURLEY - Hurley scored at Washburn's pace for a half, but they couldn't maintain it for the entire game. And they couldn't stop Trevor Cook. Not that anyone else has been able to either. Cook led the Castle Guards (8-4, 7-3) with 52 points in Friday night's 77-63 Indianhead Conference victory over Hurley (4-9, 4-6). The 6-1 senior didn't get to the hoop all that often, but boy did he put on a shooting clinic, whether from 3 or mid-range, it didn't matter. "We didn't give up a ton of layups to...

  • Samsons win, Lady Samsons fall against new opponent

    Jan 21, 2017

    MILWAUKEE — The Samsons pulled out a 71-67 in their first time playing Bryant & Stratton College Friday night. Gogebic led by as many as 11 points in the second half, but Bryant & Stratton came back and tied it. “Good win for us,” GCC coach Dennis Mackey said. “We’ve been trying to find our way of late. Wednesday night, I thought we played well and hit shots. I thought we shot the ball well tonight, with the exception of our free throws (12-29), which really is tough to take.” The Samsons also missed nearly 10 point-blank shots. “We have to...

  • Speedgirls stick with No. 1 ranked Vikings for 3 quarters

    Jason Juno|Jan 14, 2017

    BESSEMER - Bessemer stayed with the Upper Peninsula's top-ranked Class D girls team, Baraga, for three quarters, but the Vikings pulled away for a 42-24 Copper Mountain Conference victory Friday night. "We had the No. 1 team in the U.P. at our house and we played them solid for three quarters," Bessemer coach Gerry Pelissero said. "I told the girls after the game, 'OK, are you convinced you can play with anybody left on our schedule?' Certainly, we can." The Speedgirls (2-9, 2-6) returned home...

  • Chassell's size too much for Wakefield-Marenisco

    Pat Krause|Jan 14, 2017

    WAKEFIELD - Chassell used its big edge in size and quickness to overcome Wakefield-Marenisco 63-44 in a Copper Mountain Conference match-up in the Cardinal Gym on Friday night. "We had an advantage with our height and our guard's quickness," Chassell coach Brandi Hainault said. "Our guards did a good job of moving the ball and our post players really pounded the boards. Our defense really helped the offense with turnovers. I'm a big defensive person. I believe it's the only way to win in the...

  • Skiers, volunteers not detered by weather

    Jan 9, 2017

    By JASON JUNO [email protected] IRONWOOD - As cold as it was Saturday, it's been worse for at least two of the Sisu Ski Fest winners. They've suffered frost bite in previous cross country ski races, including to their eyes. All four 31-kilometer race winners hailed from the Twin Cities. The lone local winner came in the 15K Classic race, Luther L. Wright High School sophomore Nick Niemi. Sisu race officials monitored the forecast throughout the week and decided to hold the race despite...

  • Range runners Rowe, Mazurek, Palmeter find success in college

    Dec 29, 2016

    By PAT KRAUSE [email protected] Some area coaches have said there have been times when graduating seniors who were good players for them would make comments that they were good high school athletes, but they didn’t think they could ever play at the college level. Recently, three young athletes from our area have shattered that stereotype and even thrived in the college athletic environment. Valerie Rowe and Zack Mazurek of Bessemer and Ironwood native Hannah Palmeter recently sat down with The Daily Globe and talked about their high s...

  • Cardinals stop Speedgirls

    Pat Krause|Dec 3, 2016

    BESSEMER - Wakefield-Marenisco needed a huge fourth quarter to defeat the Bessemer Speedgirls 57-38 in a physical, hard-fought Copper Mountain rivalry game in the House of Noise on Friday. As the third quarter ended, Bessemer's Caitlyn Lynch and W-M's Darienne Korpi both made a 3 the old-fashioned way with a field goal and a free throw. The Speedgirls held a 36-35 lead after three quarters and it had been a close game for 24 minutes of intense basketball. But the Cardinals stepped up their game...

  • Forest Park starts fast at W-M, ends with another title

    Pat Krause|Nov 5, 2016

    WAKEFIELD - Wakefield-Marenisco's high hopes for an upset of Crystal Falls Forest Park in the Class D District 127 volleyball tournament finals were dashed by the fast, up-tempo starts of the Lady Trojans in all three sets. Forest Park played with a sense of urgency and defeated the Cardinals 25-12, 25-16 and 25-16. It was the 17th straight year CFFP has taken home the district tournament championship trophy. "To win 17 in a row, you can have the athletes, but if they're not dedicated, working...

  • Midgets outlast Miners

    Jason Juno|Oct 8, 2016

    BESSEMER - Hurley's potent rushing attack was too much for a shorthanded Gogebic Miners squad as the Midgets won the non-conference meeting 42-6 Friday night. The Midgets rushed 55 times for 455 yards and had 21 first downs to five for the Miners as Hurley improved to 8-0 against the Bessemer/Wakefield-Marenisco co-op. "Hurley, they're a good team," Gogebic coach Mark Movrich said. "They've been the program of consistency on the Range for Lord knows how many years. Even had we been 100 percent...
