I have coined Week 7 as Championship Week....why? Because both the Greater Thumb West & East Titles are up for grabs!
The Elkton-Pigeon-Bay Port Lakers and the Reese Rockets will battle on the gridiron in Championship Week 7. That will also be the Game Of The Week on Thumb Tailgater Sports! Coverage starts at 6pm live on streaming internet audio. We hope to have some head coach interviews with our usual pre-game show. The Rockets are fighting for a share of the Greater Thumb "Wild" West Title. Lakers want it outright as they continue to flood the west by beating the BCAS Cougars and hope to douse the flames of the refueled Reese Rockets who got back into orbit by ripping Cass City in Week 6. Tune in on Friday night on Thumb Tailgater Sports for this titanic showdown!
Brown City's shocking loss to Sandusky sets them up to control their own destiny for the Greater Thumb East Title. The Greendevils will try to do what many in the Thumb area think cannot be done...beat Ubly. If Brown City does that they can get a share of the GTE title.
Ubly has already accomplished one goal; secure a playoff berth; Goal 2 - take each game one at a time and the rest of the goals fall into place; Goal 3 - GTE Title; Goal 4 - secure home field advantage during majority of playoffs; Goal 5 - Win State Title.
Talking to Ubly Head Coach Bill Sweeney a few times already he takes each game one game at a time and every mistake that a player commits, he makes sure that situation is taken care of. I ran into a Ubly player who got called for a penalty and got really hot headed about it. The player said if it wasn't for Coach Sweeney's calm but commanding deameanor, the situation could have escalated. The Bearcat player told me that help get his head back into the game and ensued the thrashing of the Vassar football team on Friday night. This team still believes in this system and has all the tools to go to Ford Field again. Will they have a rematch with Travis City Saint Francis? Like Coach Sweeney says...one game at a time.
