Four Cheboygan players make NMFL Legends team
Four Cheboygan football players recently earned spots on the All-Northern Michigan Football League Legends Division team.

Players joining Wilcome included fellow senior Henry Stempky, a defensive back, and Gauge Ginop, a linebacker. All three made the defensive team.
Rounding out the Cheboygan players on the squad was senior running back David Heyer, who earned offensive team honorable mention recognition.

"It's nice when you see your hardest workers get rewarded," said Cheboygan head coach Dave Schulz. "We had other players on our team that worked really hard, but these kids definitely did work hard and always prepared for practice just as much as they did for games.
"I'm just proud of those guys."
