With Reese and Ubly going on scoring frenzies and still unbeaten, what does the future hold for these teams? Obviously the playoffs are in plain view for both teams but lets look past that. Where does the road end? or does it end at all? Lets take a peek at the remaining schedules for both teams. Reese- MARLETTE, VASSAR, @Cass City, LAKERS, @USA, BCAS, MT.MORRIS Ubly- MAYVILLE, @HarborBeach, VASSAR, @BrownCity, DECERVILLE, @ Sandusky, BADAXE There are a few question marks on the schedule for both teams here. Having seen both Cass City, and Vassar play, i am not quite willing to let the Rockets slide past both of these teams. 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). ...

VASSAR - Vassar Head Coach Jason Kiss knew he needed to make adjustments at the half. His team was trailing 9-7, and getting beat badly on both sides of the ball. Coach Kiss decided to abandon his team's double tight end set and move to a more spread offense. His team responded by scoring 4 rushing touchdowns in the 2nd half to get a 36-21 win on their home field. Vassar opened the scoring in the 1st quarter on their 3rd play from scrimmage. Dontay Crist (11 carries 121 yards 2 TD) scampered to his left a ended up in the end zone 67 yards later. Vassar would only get one more play in the quarter. Caro took the ball and moved it down field behind the strength of their offensive line, anchored by Hallie Holmes. Caro's drive would stall at the 11 yard line, and they had to settle for a 16 yard Seth Kratz field goal. Vassar's next play resulted in an interception by quarterback Zach Germain. Caro promptly followed Holmes and the offensive line to down the field. This time hitti...

I am back on-line. The summer went quickly. It is dark at 9pm. My kids are running around with their first cups. It must be football season. The Mix 92.1 high school football game of the week kicks off this Thursday, August 28 with the Caro Tigers at the Vassar Vulcans. I will be back on the air doing color along with my new play-by-play partner Derrick Bosely. Derrick is a new transplant from the UP (sound familiar), so give him a warm Thumb's Up. The Caro Tigers will invade the school named after the Roman god of fire to kick off the high school football season. In a series that has seen Caro dominate since 1955, Vassar has not loss since being shut out 19-0 on September 12, 2003. Vassar head coach Jason Kiss, in his 2nd year, has his team in the Greater Thumb West Conference, and primed to make the playoffs for the second time in school history. The first test for the Vulcans will be young and inexperienced Caro Tiger team in the 2nd year of the 2nd stint for Coach Al Boydston. ...
