The champs.
Justin Cleary...see coaches Terry Messing (right, background) and I think Dave Kaufman raising their arms to signal the touchdown that was just a few yards away.
Justin Cleary.
Freshman Curtis Booms, who my wife Jill taught years ago in Young Fives, tackles QB Garrett Cook. Booms is one of a long line of great Ubly football players my wife have taught through the years including Eric LaBuhn and Mitch Cleary, who were in here first Ubly class ever, which was a second grade.

Eric Booms attempts a tackle.
Bryan Nash looks stunned after being called for pass interference in the first half. Genesee would get a 1st and goal on the nine and scored to tie the game at 6-6 at the time.

Steven Weber looks for a chance to sack the QB.
The celebration.
Time to celebrate.
The Ubly defense steps up.
Kade Kwiatkowski scores late in the game.
Joe LaFave is wrapped up on the kick return.

The "U" is proudly displayed...It was expected that Genesee would be a better test for Ubly than Rochester Hills Lutheran Northwest was in week one of the playoffs. And the Wolves were, but only six points better.
Ubly put forth another dominant effort, knocking off a 10-0 Genesee team 52-6 (they won their opener over the Crusaders 52-0).
Tied at 6-6 heading into the second, the Bearcats scored 40 unanswered points in the second quarter and one in the fourth to win 52-6. As for the 40 points, the MHSAA does not have a record for points in the quarter, so no way to know how that stacks up with other efforts throughout the years.
Justin Cleary led Ubly with 157 yards on 17 carries and four scores, all in the first half.
Consequently, Garrett Cook was held to under 200 yards of total offense, which was the team's goal heading into the game. Cook was held to 77 yards passing and 63 yards on the ground for 140 yards on the day. He had been averaging 256 yards per game heading into the game.
We'll have photos up later tonight and possibly some audio from both coach Bill Sweeney and Jim Becker tonight or tomorrow.
In some bonus info, Caseville beat North Huron to win the Class D volleyball districts at Akron-Fairgrove tonight.

Wow!
Chris,
you just made your wife feel old! LOL! she looks great though!
That U in the background is so great.
Chris you got some people mad at you with the sacrificial lamb thing so you better get on here because like Rickey Ricardo used to say "you got some splaning to do"
I removed the term sacrificial lamb, because some of you were offended by that and for that I apologize.
So please allow to restate and rephrase my point...while Pettersburg-Summerfield has had a successful season at 10-1, they are just 31-62 in their last 10 years for roughly a .333 winning percentage. Their signature win of the regular season was a hard-fought 18-13 win over an eventual 6-3 Ottawa Lake Whiteford.
So for a team truly lacking in a winning tradition, playing on the road against a team that has players returning from a state runner-up finish last year that has had nine straight winning season and nine straight playoff appearances, I think they will be extremely challenged to compete with Ubly. I think their team should be proud of what they accomplished, but the odds are against them in winning this game.
I hope I was able to get the same point across, albeit in a more extended way.
Thats what you should have said the first time.
You're right, but that is why pencils have erasers and computers have delete buttons.
So what are your thoughts on this week's game Anonymous?
I think Chris Ogryski can say what ever he wants. It is a free country. If you don't like it, don't read his blog.
Brandon Sweeney agrees with Kyle Recker, get over it anonymous.
