Latest news, weather, high school sports for Michigan’s Upper Peninsula

LAKE LINDEN -- The high school football season has started, and every team should be happy with the great weather.
         
It was tough to find a cloud in the sky in Houghton County Saturday afternoon as Lake Linden-Hubbell entertained Baraga.

After a Baraga first down, the Vikings mishandled a snap, Vinnie Beaudoin and Jordan Hahka combine on the recovery for the Lakes.

Four plays later, Brett Gervais hands to Brett Beauchamp and the junior turns the corner on the 19-yard touchdown run.  The two-point conversion gave the Lakes an 8-0 advantage and the cheerleaders got an early start on their touchdown push-ups.

Early 2nd quarter, 16-0 Lake Linden-Hubbell, Vikings' quarterback Zach Sauvola looks for Brett Van Alsteen, but Dan Goldworthy figured out the pattern and made the interception.  He rumbled down to the six-yard line on the return, and Lake Linden-Hubbell was in business again.

Two plays later, Gervais fakes the handoff and boots the other way, about seven yards for the touchdown; two-point conversion was good.  The Lakes cruise in their opener, 40-6.
         
Lake Linden-Hubbell visits Hurley next Friday, while Baraga travels to Ewen-Trout Creek.
