Ubly Only One Left

The Ubly Bearcats football team is the Thumb's last hope for a state championship in this fall sports season in the Michigan High School Athletic Association. After losses by the Croswell-Lexington football team and USA's and North Branch's volleyball teams this week, the Bearcats seem to be poised to bring home their first state championship.

For a quick recap and some great photos of Ubly's 47-8 destruction of previously unbeaten Reading check out Chris Ogryski's blog here. For some extra great photos, check out Paul Adams camera skills at the Huron Daily Tribune sports blog. Channel 12 also has some good video of the game.

Good luck to Ubly as they take on the Traverse City St. Francis Gladiators (12-1). The game will take place on Saturday, November 29th at 10:00 a.m. The game can be seen on Fox Sports Detroit, and heard in the Thumb on WLEW 102.1. Tom Markowski of the Detroit News has a quick preview of all the state championships in today's paper.

Go Ubly.

Still talkin' football

First top ten of the year. After Friday's opening games, the TCA released it's first Area Top ten of the young season. In association with four area coaches, representing the four area conferences, along with the sports staff of the TCA, here it is: 1. Millington (1-0) 53 pts (2) 2. Reese (1-0) 52 pts (2) 3. USA (1-0) 45 pts 4. Frankenmuth (1-0) 37 pts (1) 5. Birch Run (1-0) 32 pts (1) 6. Marlette (1-0) 19 pts 7. Ubly (0-1) 17 pts 7. Harbor Beach (1-0) 17 pts 9. Cass City (1-0) 12 pts 10. Garber (1-0) 11 pts All of this will ofcourse settle itself out as the week goes on, but I think the biggest surprise is the fall of Ubly after the opening game loss to USA. Word out of the Thumb is that Bearcat QB Jordan Kaufman broke his collarbone and is out for 7 to 8 weeks, which essentially is the entire season. Ubly must now rely upon a sophomore quarterback to lead them in the GTE, which could open things up for Harbor Beach and Marlette to take the reigns in the conference. As for

The Big Game.

Here it is. Well, it's here...the game that everyone around here has been looking forward to all season long. Frankenmuth at Millington. Both teams are 7-0 (6-0 TVC-E) and the Cardinals and the Eagles could not be more evenly matched. They have the exact same number of playoff points (85.714) at this point of the season; both teams blew out Vassar and held the Vulcans without a defensive TD (kickoff return against the Eagles and punt return vs the Cards); both teams blew out Bridgeport and North Branch. And both teams had to play their best to hold off Garber (Muth won 17-7 at Muth while Millington won 20-14 at Garber). One game where things were different was when both played Birch Run. Muth had to use a last minute field goal to win 23-20 while Millington blew out the Panther 45-17, both games played in Birch Run. The game also has the best storylines associated with any game in the area. Roger Bearss, who was the Frankenmuth head varsity football coach from 2001-05, is now
