St. Mary football vs. Breckenridge ends in scary scene as player is knocked unconscious
GAYLORD ― Heading into the final minute of its 8-man football matchup with Breckenridge, Gaylord St. Mary was trying to make a comeback and stave off its first loss of the season. But quickly, football went from priority to afterthought. GSM junior receiver Cash Wcisel dove to make a catch in the middle of the field with 59 seconds remaining. The play picked up big yardage and a first down but, when GSM's offense went to run another play, Wcisel remained on the ground. An inadvertent knee to the head knocked out Wcisel momentarily and, once he was awake and aware, he felt a fair amount of pain in his chest. As trainers and coaches from both sides tended to him, his teammates watched on, many praying and shedding tears. It was a scary moment for all involved, from players to coaches to bystanders. And, as Gaylord St. Mary players shared their deep concerns for their friend, the Breckenridge players joined the Snowbirds at midfield for a prayer as an ambulance came for Wcisel. "If there was a model for how a high school football game should be run, this is it," said St. Mary coach Kevin O'Connell. "Someone has

Cole scores another 3 TDs, No. 6 Gaylord sets up BNC title matchup with Escanaba
GAYLORD ― If you only got to judge how Friday night went by the way Gaylord coach Matt Silsbury addressed his team after the game on Oct. 3, you may have thought the Blue Devils had lost their Homecoming matchup vs. Alpena. No, GHS rolled to a 41-0 victory over the Wildcats and the team's former head coach, DJ Szymoniak , but as the Blue Devils keep winning (6-0, 4-0 Big North Conference) and their goals start to feel within reach, the standard at which the coaching staff needs to hold its team to begins to raise as well. Coach Silsbury wasn't happy with the number of penalties his team took during an emotional game, and he made sure to let them know.

Gaylord football takes turnaround from special to historic, clinches Big North title
ESCANABA ― When Gaylord walked off the field at the end of the 2024 season, sporting a 3-6 record and feeling a sense of not living up to expectations, they knew they needed a change. Perhaps the players were unaware of exactly what that change would look like as then-coach DJ Szymoniak would part ways with the program, just two years after the team's undefeated season and Big North Championship run in 2023. They probably didn't expect to see one of their assistant coaches, Matt Silsbury, take over the program in late May or the changes he and the new coaching staff would bring. Still, even with all that uncertainty, a senior-led team hungry to win again bought in fully. Now, one year later, No. 4 Gaylord is walking off the field in the Upper Peninsula as Big North Conference champions after a 34-30 victory over Escanaba on Friday, October 10.
