SEBEWAING — The weather was miserable.
And so was the outcome here Friday night for Jason Beagle and his Unionville-Sebewaing Area Patriots.
After a shaky opening half, Vassar erased its two-point deficit and handed the Patriots their first league loss, this one a 28-8 Greater Thumb West decision.
With the loss, USA falls to 4-1 in the GTW, 4-2 overall. Vassar is now 3-1 GTW, 5-1 overall.
Reese is now the lone unbeaten in GTW play at 4-0. The Rockets host USA next Friday in the annual Sugar Bowl.
The Vulcans scored three second-half touchdowns to rally from an 8-6 halftime deficit in a game played in a soaking rain with winds whipping up to 40 mph.
USA’s lone score came in the second quarter on a 1-yard dive from Brandon Harper. Jake Beachy hit Ryan Nitz for the 2-pointer. The score was set up by a 53-yard run from Harper, as well as a pair of fourth-down conversions.
Harper led USA with 117 yards on 19 carries.
Defensively, Mike Bednarski and Tim Zube led USA with eight tackles while John Bauer notched seven stops.
Next week’s game between the Rockets and Patriots will determine a lot toward the GTW championship. A Reese win gives it at least a piece of the title. If the Patriots win, they will gain at least a share of the crown. Vassar also has a chance at a piece of the title with a win next Friday and a Reese loss. The Vulcans would then have to beat Bad Axe the following week. Reese travels to Bay City All Saints in Week 8 to close out its portion of the GTW slate.
“The good thing is that we still control things,” Beagle said. “We can do it on the field. Reese is our biggest rival, so next week’s game has even more meaning.”

The Redskins led 22-14 at the break, and then added two second-half scores.
“Sandusky came ready to play and made the big plays when they had to,” said Brown City coach Scott Banks. “We gave up a kick off return and punt return to Brandon Tucker, and we can’t expect to beat a good football team when that happens.
“Give them credit, they played hard and were able to make adjustments in the second half to stop our run game. We need to regroup on Monday. It doesn’t get any easier the next two weeks with Ubly and Marlette...”
Nate Primeau had 122 yards and Cody Laroque 76 yards for the Green Devils.
