They say that every championship run takes a total team effort. Here's a little message from Ubly Superintendent Ken Sweeney on how one local businessman stepped up for his team when they needed him the most:

Local businessman Shawn Wright, owner of Ubly Meat and Grocery, took time to assist the Ubly football team by preparing an area for the team to practice. Ubly received over 6” of snow this week which forced alternate practice schedules for the Ubly Football Team. Special thanks to the Cass City School for allowing the Ubly football team to practice on their field early in the week. Cass City did not have accumulated snow on their field.

I (this is Chris again) wanted to plug a fundraiser being held for the family of David Osentoski (Ubly player who died of cancer this year) to help with funeral expenses. On Monday, Dec. 1 and Tuesday, Dec. 2 from 4-8 p.m. Pizza Hut in Bad Axe will be holding a fundraiser. Volunteers will be waiting the tables and all tips will go to the Osentoski Family.
I encourage all to go out and get a good meal for a great cause on those days. Now, I can only have pizza once or twice a month after my "incident," but I'm going to make sure one of my of two trips to the Hut next month takes place on one of those two days.
