The Ishpeming High School's Varsity football team played their first round pre-district playoff game on Friday, October 30, 2009 at the Ishpeming Playgrounds against the Norway Knights. These two teams had already met once in the regular season with the Knights coming out with a win on their home field by a score of 23-20. So needless to say the Hematites were looking to make up for that game and had an extra revenge factor going into friday's playoff game.
