Colavecchi throws for 3 touchdowns

L’ANSE — Max Jayne returned the opening kickoff 78 yards for a touchdown and Joe Colavecchi tossed three scoring passes as Iron Mountain defeated L’Anse 42-0 in WestPAC Copper Division football Friday.

“It was a great team win,” said Mountaineers coach Robin Marttila. “Max Jayne made a great play on the opening kickoff. Joe Colavecchi had a nice night passing the ball.”

The Mountaineers, who had 288 yards of offense, scored three touchdowns in the first quarter and three in the second to set off a running clock. There was no scoring in the second half.

Colavecchi connected with Matthew Colavecchi on TD passes of 20 and 21 yards. His 52-yard pass to Luke Wolfe early in the second quarter gave the Mountaineers a 28-0 lead.

“We got off to a great start,” Marttila said.
