Gladstone gets flattened as Maroon freight train barrels on
GLADSTONE — The Maroon freight train continued to barrel full-speed ahead on Friday, as Menominee drubbed Gladstone 43-6 in West-PAC Copper Conference play. Jackson Myszak accounted for three scores on the ground while Dylan Beal threw for 172 yards and two touchdowns as Menominee out-gained the Braves by a 367-to-135 margin offensively. Menominee’s defense forced a pair of turnovers, both of which led to points, including a 35-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown by Zander Jurkiewicz early in the fourth quarter. Menominee improved to 6-0 overall and 4-0 in the West-PAC Copper standings with Friday’s win. The Maroons’ winning streak now stands at 20 games and counting. For Chad Brandt, Friday’s game was a return to his hometown and alma mater. “I was happy to hit the road and come back with a nice victory, that’s the most important thing. I think we did a lot of good things and we also found some things that we still, as a team, need to keep working on in order to get better,” Brandt said. “We need to be more consistent with our blocking. Our linemen, our backs and our receivers have to block for the entire play. We’re leaving bigger plays
