Ironmen roll to blowout win after three-week layoff.
MUSKEGON — The West Michigan Ironmen hadn’t played a game in three weeks, but one would not have known the difference in Sunday afternoon’s 62-0 arena football victory over the visiting Kentuckiana Kurse.
On “Youth Sports Day,” the Ironmen scored early, late and plenty of times in between at Trinity Health Arena. With the lopsided victory, they improve to 3-1 on the season.

Defensively, the Ironmen notched a pair of pick-6s in the second half on their way to pitching the shutout. Ryheem Stokes return an interception 37 yards for a TD, followed by Ryan Williams’ pick and 23-yard return.
The Ironmen’s next scheduled game is Saturday night, June 4, at home against an opponent to be finalized. Head coach/general manager Nate Smith said the opponent could possibly be the Carolina Predators.
