Sandusky battles Lakers

Went to Lakers vs. Sandusky for a half to grab a photo for the paper, which has just been put to bed. Don't have a final on this one, waited as long as I could for it to get it in the paper...but can;t hold the press up for a single score.

As for the game, Lakers jumped out to an early 7-0 lead and lead 17-14 after the first. Early on I felt like Sandusky didn't get Marissa DeMott the ball enough and that some of the other players were forcing up shots.Things settled down in the second and the Redskins exploded to take a 37-24 (I think) lead at the half.

DeMott had 13 by my count in the first half.

All-Thumb football team announced

Check out today's Huron County Press to find out who made this year's All-Thumb Football team.
The HCP's coverage area was well-represented as athletes from those teams earned 39 of 107 spots or roughly 36 percents of the roster space.

Bearcats fall in semifinals 26-6

Ubly had plenty of opportunities early on against Hudson, but for most of the first half neither team could cash in offensively. An interception late in the 2nd quarter set the table for a Hudson score, which was followed by the tigers tripping the ball from Ubly on their next possession and scoring on the play, giving them a 12-0 edge.
The Bearcats responded with a nine yard TD pass to Eric Booms to pull withing six and regain some momentum heading into the half.
However, Ubly wasn't able to finish off their third quarter drives and Hudson was able to work the clock on the drives even when they didn't score.
Hudson pulled off a couple of late scores to pull away and win 26-6 (with the last one coming with 26 seconds to play).
The score may not show it, but it was an outstanding effort on defense for Ubly, in my opinion it was their best effort of the year. They held Hudson to under 300 yards, which is the first time that has happened all season.
This officially ends our fall sport season...kudos Ubly and Millington in football, as well as Caseville, Deckerville, Marlette and North Branch in volleyball on great runs.
On Dec. 2, we'll be announcing our All-Thumb football team and then it'll be on to basketball.
