1997 - Onaway Falcons Win the Northern Michigan Football League Championship From Presque Isle County Advance and Onaway Outlook November 2, 2017

  
CAPTION: The Onaway Falcons won the Northern Football League championship in 1997 for the 
second year in a row. The victory was the Falcons' 15th straight win and their third 
championship.  They had won the crown in 1974, 1976, and 1977. Coach Dick Dunn said, 
"This is a darn good bunch of kids, there are a lot of real good friends here rather than 
just teammates."  The Indian River Jets led 8-0 in the third quarter, but with 1:22 left
in the third, Wayne Domke ran for a 35-yard touchdown.  The conversion failed, leaving the 
score 8-6.  Following an Indian River fumble and sweeps by Domke and Rick McDonald, Steve
Larson scored from 3 yards out for the game-winning points.  The rest of the players included, 
Jim Winter, Frank Mason, Scot Szymoniak, Pat Waite, Kyle Krage, Ron Malay and Phil Dunn.
