Munising Coach Matt Mattson spent the early portion of his team’s season opener in Newberry Tuesday night pleading with his players. Things looked rough. They normally do on opening night. But a young squad with five sophomores in the rotation stumbled out of the blocks. Four starters had multiple fouls in the first half. Shots weren’t falling, and the two teams had more turnovers than points in the first quarter. Munising only led 7-3 at the end of one. Then something clicked, and Mattson’s message was heard.
