Thumb Tailgater has two Live Webcasts of high school football action on Friday, September 30th.
Channel 1 presents another BWAC league battle with the Richmond Blue Devils (4-1) at the Almont Raiders (3-2). Richmond is currently undefeated in league play, while Almont has two league losses, and in order for them to have a outside closer chance to grab a share of the title - they must win this game. Not only that but this is a key game that could open a path to reach the postseason. As for the Richmond Blue Devils - they know that a outright title championship is all dependent on winning this key game at Almont. They still have the Algonac Muskrats (5-0) to play later in the season who is still undefeated and they are in the same position as they are taking on the unpredictable tough team of Yale Bulldogs (3-2).
Channel 2 features a Greater Thumb East league game with the Ubly Bearcats (5-0) at the Sandusky Redskins (1-4). Let's be honest here - the GTE is not as strong as the GTW this year. Ubly is on a roll - heavily to win the league title. And the Bearcats have already beaten three teams in the GTW - Unionville-Sebewaing, Cass City, and Vassar. And last year defeated the current best team in the GTW - the EPBP Lakers. One more win for Ubly and they are in the playoffs. The Redskins are the opposite - a rebuilding year after last seasons (11-1) spectacular season. Sandusky is coming off last week from a close 30 - 34 loss to a tough & gritty Harbor Beach Pirate (3-2) team, and now may have some new found confidence with a hopeful upset win on their minds over Ubly.
Coverage starts at 6:45pm - Click Channel 1 or Channel 2 on thumbtailgater.com - to hear all the action! Follow updates on Twitter @ThumbTailgater
