High School
In high school football last night…
- Houghton fell to Negaunee 38-8.

It didn’t last. With JV quarterback Kirby Halonen under center, Calumet tied the game with a 20-yard Keith Koivisto TD run, and added a two-yard Anderson plunge just before halftime. The Kings took control after the break. Koivisto ripped off a 60-yard scoring run on the second play from scrimmage. Gladstone responded with a score, but on the second play after their kickoff Oskar Loukus broke free for a 56-yard TD. A 20-yard Loukus scoring run put the Kings up 44-20 before the Braves added a late touchdown.
