Mission Accomplished: Ubly dominates Brown City

The Bearcats won their second straight Greater Thumb East title last night, beating the Green Devils 44-8. They also won the respect of the this up-and-comer in the GTE, as they Brown City's offense to just 111 yards on the night, including just 27 yards on the ground through the first three quarters. Even the second team stepped it up, as they were on defense the entire fourth quarter, but did not allow a score. In fact the Green Devil's only touchdown came late in the second, when Ubly fumbled on the two yard line and it was returned 98 yards for a score, which would tie him for third longest in MHSAA history. The record is 100 yard fumble recovery for a TD, which has been accomplished three times, most recently in 2006.
Offensively, the Bearcats rushed for over 300 yards and got scores from Justin Cleary, Jordan Terrasi, Adam Glaza and Bryan Nash.
Now for my impressions, I've said all year that this team has the potential to be as good as if not better than last year's squad. I think tonight this team showed they are, if for nothing else, for the fact that they have truly taken advantage of the experience from last year and used it to help make themselves a better team this year.
They may not be as fast as last year's team, but this team is definetly on par with them.
And as far as there win last night, I think that coach Bill Sweeney finally unleashed his team...at least for three quarters, before going to the second team.
Just think of what could happen if they got to play four quarters.
