Before the high school football season even started, Munising head coach Matt Mattson felt like their week two home contest with Lake Linden-Hubbell would be a good early season measuring stick for his team. The Lakes were a semi-final team in last year’s Division 2 8-player playoffs and annually churn out competitive teams; but Mattson and the Mustangs got the better of them in this match-up, 48-22.

The Superior Central cross country team saw action at the Gwinn Invitational on Tuesday, September 3. The Cougars were able to get their boys’ team to come in fifth place, while the girls’ squad had a second place finish.

Playing over at Ironwood in their football season opener on Thursday, August 29, Munising found themselves down after the first quarter. They found themselves behind after the second quarter as well.
