Merrill, MI – October 5, 2024 – The Ishpeming Hematites football team made the most of a two-day downstate trip by dominating the Merrill Vandals 54-6 on Saturday afternoon, cutting off a two game losing skid. Ishpeming scored on their first drive, then recovered a Merrill fumble on the ensuing kickoff return and scored again on the next play. Ishpeming had control from the beginning, allowing them to cruise to a comfortable victory to reach 4-2 on the season.
Ishpeming will hit the road again this week, heading to Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin for a 6:00 game against the Sevastopol Pioneers. Tyler Young and Bob Nadeau will have the call on 98.3 WRUP or online at wrup.com.
