After handily beating Suttons Bay in week one in 8-man football, the St. Ignace Saints welcomed in the Pellston Hornets for the second week of the fresh season.
The Saints had no problem with the out-matched Hornets, winning 46-6 on Thursday. This week the Saints travel to Alcona, who is also 2-0.
The Engadine Eagles made their way to the far Eastern U.P. village of DeTour to play the Cedarville/Detour Islanders in an 8-man match-up.
The Eagles scored first but after that, the Islanders poured it on after that winning 36-6 in another Thursday match-up.
The Eagles will travel to Onaway to play the 1-1 Cardinals.
Under the Friday night lights, Sault High travelled to Cheboygan and won 26-0. The Blue Devils have shut out their first two opponents in this early season. The Blue Devils travel to Cadillac to battle a solid Viking team that is 1-1 on the year.
The Newberry Indians are 2-0 on the year after beating the Munising Mustangs 16-6 in a low-scoring 8-man battle. Newberry travels to Rudyard Friday for a match-up that could be brutal. Two great coaches with two highly competitive teams promise a great game.
Rapid River Rockets ventured into Rudyard Friday to play the Bulldogs. This one wasn't close from the start with Rudyard crushing the Rockets 58-0. Next up is a big game at home against the Newberry Indians which will test where Coach Jim Suggit's team stands in 8-man football here in the Eastern U.P.
Brimley Bays scored 42 points in a loss against Newberry in week one. The Bays hope to tighten up their defense while maintaining their offensive scoring against Mid-Penisula. The Bays lit up the scoreboard in the first half....56-0 at intermission. The game was called at halftime due to lightning in the area.
Pickford traveled to Superior Central and came back with a blow-out win of 68-0. They will have a tougher test this week against the Brimley Bays.
