Proctor at Hermantown, 7 p.m. Game Notes: The Hawks are heavy favorites in the annual Hammer Game. “It’s a rivalry game right off the bat," said Hawks coach Mike Zagelmeyer. "The kids know this game has been the center of attention for both programs for many years. It can be a season-defining game. The Hammer Game exemplifies what is great about high school sports. We are excited. I only wish it fell a little later in the season.” Senior quarterback Alex Schott, a three-year starter, leads Hermantown.

Duluth Denfeld 70, Mora 42. Game Notes: The Hunters rushed for 591 yards, averaging 13.4 yards per carry. Junior halfback Deon Bergner, making his first varsity start, had 264 yards rushing and three touchdowns and senior halfback Taye Manns rushed for 254 yards and six touchdowns. "It was a tough opening game against a quality Mora squad," Denfeld coach Erik Lofald said. "Too many mistakes in the first half gave them easy points. We settled down in the second half and showed how explosive we were. Our offensive line was dominant." The Hunters (1-0) will open Northeast Red play next Friday at Grand Rapids (1-0).
