High School
In high school football yesterday, Lake Linden-Hubbell fell to West Iron County 24-16. The Lakes got on the board first, capping their first offensive possession with a one-yard run by Caleb Gregoire. The two-point conversion failed. The Wykons dominated after that, however, with Nathan Thomson scoring on 46 and 13-yard runs in the first half, and catching a Trey Bociek pass for a 64-yard scoring play late in the third quarter. Mario Fidalgo kicked a 25-yard field goal for West Iron. The Lakes closed the cap with a 35-yard Caleb Gregoire run with 1:07 remaining, but the onside kick attempt failed, and the Wykons were able to run out the clock.
