Ironwood built at 34-6 halftime lead and went on to defeat Forest Park 64-42 in Great Lakes Eight Conference-West football Friday.

“We were able to get one stop in the first half but turned the ball over two plays later and gave up a score with two seconds left before half,” said Forest Park coach Brian Fabbri. “We were able to cause a turnover in the third quarter and capitalize with a score to cut the lead in the second half. But we were unable to get any more stops defensively.”

Ironwood improved to 2-1 in the conference and 3-4 overall. The Trojans slipped to 0-3 in the conference and 1-6 overall.

“Offensively we had a very good night with Trent Kannich running for 300-plus yards and four touchdowns, and it was nice to see James Smith and Devin Koga score touchdowns as well.” Fabbri said.

Kannich scored on runs of 60, 1, 27 and 5 yards. Koga scored on an 11-yard rush while Smith found the end zone from 3 yards out.

Brody McBee had a fumble recovery for the Trojans. Kannich and Nick Stachowicz were the leading tacklers.

Nick Miskovich ran for six touchdowns for the Red Devils.

“We’re looking forward to Ontonagon this week at home for senior recognition,” Fabbri said.
