Game 1 — Hurley 9, Ironwood 1 The Ironwood Red Devil baseball season has turned into a roller-coaster ride.

The Jack Kraemer Invitational was moved from late April to early May because it always seemed to be postponed because of the weather. Monday was Kraemer day in Ironwood when track-and-field teams from across the region come to compete in what is usually the biggest meet of the year locally. And the weather was great with temperatures in the 60s; the sun was even out. Too bad the field event areas at Longyear Field in Ironwood were covered with snow, like the shot put. The track had puddles and...

But I was very happy and very satisfied with the boys, because we didn’t lay down and we ke...
Ironwood tried snowblowing the track at Longyear Field Monday. “It didn’t really go too good,” Ironwood athletic director Gordy Erickson said. “It’s all thick, heavy and icy. We are at an absolute standstill.” The WIAA softball regional tournament starts about a week early this year, May 16. That’s a month from Tuesday and the start of the season isn’t in sight. With another snowstorm forecast to continue today on top of feet of hard-packed snow and ice, spring sports on the Gogebic Range m...
