Teresa Proudfit | Iron Mountain Daily News Bark River-Harris’ Nick Javurek rushes through a mass of Norway players during Friday’s game at Norway.

NORWAY -- Trevor Lippens ran for two touchdowns and Aiden Johnson added a pair here Friday night as the Bark River-Harris Broncos earned a 42-26 football victory over the Norway Knights.

Hudson Huff also ran for a score and Nick Javurek hit 8-of-11 passes for 135 yards, including a 17-yard touchdown to Joe Stein in the WestPAC Iron Division match-up. Javurek also rushed for 75 yards.

The contest was tied at 20 at halftime.

"We had a few defensive breakdowns in the first half," said BR-H coach Al Stenberg. "We came out with more energy in the second half and ran the ball more effectively. This is the first time Bark River-Harris has beaten Norway. This is a milestone for us. Getting one on them is pretty nice. The guys off the bench did a real nice job. Everybody on the team came ready to play."

Riley Bray caught six passes for 75 yards and Carter Zawacki had 11 tackles for the Broncos, who host Manistique for homecoming Friday.

"They (Manistique) have a great back in (Schyler) Andersen," said Stenberg.

"They've been competitive in every game this year."
