For the first time since Ubly battled Traverse City St. Francis in the state finals last year, the Bearcats actually found themselves in a ball game.
Ubly jumped out to an 8-0 lead and led 30-6 at the half, but it was obvious that early in the game the team came out flat. After a second quarter time out from coach Bill Sweeney, the team seemed to play with the fire they needed to.
In the second half, Peterburg-Smumemrfield went almost exclusively to the air and QB Mike Hewitt, who threw for 258 yards, connected with a pair of long TD catches to Eric Cogan, who had three on the day.
Ubly did shut down the run, as they held the Bulldogs to a pultry 34 rushing yards.
Give P-S credit, they came to play and really challenged the Bearcats, even if the scoreboard might not indicate that. They are a program on the rise and should be in the playoff mix for years to come.
The coaching staff isn't too concerned with the miscues, they realize they just have to clean some things up, so they don;t make any criitical errors when they face Hudson this Saturday at Ortonville-Brandon.
For the Bearcats on offese, the team rushed for 472 yards and were led by Jordan Terassi with 188 yards on 10 carries and a score, while Justin Cleary added two scores and 167 yards on the ground, giving him 1,577 yards and 17 scores for the year so far.
