The Wakefield Bessemer Rotary Club recently hosted the Gogebic Miners Head Football Coach and 4 players that were selected to play in this summer's Upper Peninsula Football All-Star game at one of their weekly meetings. After Coach Nick Heikkila introduced the players, each player reviewed their season long statistics, which lead to their selection to the All-Stars and their contribution to the successful 2025 Gogebic Miners season. Each UP player that is selected to play in the game is responsible for fundraising to help pay for the week-long event. These 4 players received a donation from the Club to be used toward their entry fee. From left to right in the photo are: Richard Matrella, Bessemer High School Superintendent; Gogebic Miners players Patrick Hokans, Leland Hollenbeck, Henry Steiger, and Matt Switzer; Miners Head Coach Nick Heikkila; and Jason Gustafson, Wakefield- Marenisco High School Superintendent. Matrella and Gustafson are members of the Rotary Club.
