After getting beat by Ubly 49-14 in week two, Marlette Head Coach Dennis Lester challenged his team to perform better. The team responded by beating eight ranked Reese by a score of 21-6.

Then, even though they are looking pretty down this season, there is always the SUGAR BOWL, on the road at USA. For Ubly I would say the two biggest tests are Vassar, and Harbor Beach. Deckerville also could possibly pose a threat but it's doubtful. The biggest thing with Vassar is the three headed monster that can run the ball (Crist, Vickers and Germain). ...
