Manistique, Michigan– September 15th, 2017– The Hematites traveled to Manistique to take on the Emeralds this Friday night. The last few games haven’t had the outcome that the Hematites wanted and some of the players sustained injuries that kept them out of this game and maybe a few others.

Drake Sundberg made the two point conversion making the score 8-0. Zack Jandreau had a 15 yd touchdown run and Wyatt Bodette made the two point conversion after that to make the score 16-0 at the end of the first quarter. Drake Sundberg had an 8 yd touchdown run and Hunter Smith followed that up with a successful conversion for a score of 24-0 leaving the Emeralds in the dust at halftime.
The second half of the game continued the same spirit as the first half as our kept adding to the score board. Wyatt Bodette had a 3 yd touchdown run and Drake Sundberg made the two point conversion making the score 32-0 at the end of the third quarter.
