No problems for Pirates

HARBOR BEACH — No need for a fourth-quarter comeback this time.

Harbor Beach’s defense held early, and then the Pirates relied on do-it-all junior Sloan Klaski to turn what was a Week 4 nailbiter into a Week 10 romp.

Klaski scored five touchdowns — three rushing, one receiving and one on an interception return — helping the Pirates roll to a 40-7 victory over Brown City here Friday night in a Division 7 opening round playoff game.

“For everyone on this team, this is their first playoff win — so the kids are excited,” said Harbor Beach coach Troy Schelke.

The 10-0 Pirates now face another rematch, this one with 8-1 Reese for the district championship. That game is slated for 7 p.m. Friday. The Rockets advanced with a 41-27 opening round victory over Sandusky.

Klaski rushed 14 times for 126 yards, scoring on runs of 3, 10 and 45 yards. He also hauled in a 16-yard scoring strike from Eli Kraft, and then capped his huge night with a 28-yard interception return.

It was a far cry from the teams’ Week 4 meeting when the Pirates needed a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns to rally and beat the Green Devils.

This one was basically over at halftime when the Pirates took advantage of a Cody Pfaff fumble recovery and made it 21-0 with less than a minute to play before the break.

“The kids really love to run the two-minute offense, and they ran it to perfection right before the half,” Schelke said. 

Brown City workhorse Nate Primeau, who had 252 yards in the Week 4 contest, was held to 78 yards on 15 carries. 

“They were able to contain Primeau and force us to throw the football, something we don’t want to do,” said Brown City coach Scott Banks. “Give them credit, they are a very good football team.”

Added Schelke: “Defensively, I thought we really played well early on. Our defense kept stuffing them and giving us chances.”

The story of the night, though, was Klaski, who did his damage in a variety of ways, including an electric leap over a defender into the end zone on his score right before the half.

“He’s been a really good athlete since he was very young,” Schelke said. “But this summer, he’s really worked his tail off. And at practice, he works, too. 

“Now, he’s doing a lot of film study and he’s seeing stuff. The first time we played these guys, he was like, ‘You know, I really didn’t understand where to run on these traps.’ But now, he’s really seeing things and has really developed.”

Besides Klaski, Kraft added 76 yards while Aaron Ginther notched 51 yards, including an 8-yard TD in the third quarter for Harbor Beach’s final tally. 

Defensively, Klaski had 13 tackles while Josh Keyes and Derek Pfaff added nine stops. Ginther chipped in two interceptions.

Brown City avoided the shutout with a 6-yard TD reception from Tyler Banks in the fourth quarter.

Schelke gave credit to some of his younger players for the victory

“Our JV kids that came up this week really increased the spirit at practice,” he said. 

“They were a big part of this, too. Some played, some didn’t, but it was good to have those guys up and have a little more depth.”

Now, the Pirates get a Week 3 rematch with Reese, which dropped a 30-16 decision to Harbor Beach for its only loss of the season.

Brown City finishes 6-4.

Ubly trips Saginaw MLS, 22-15

Adams filed this report from the D8 game between Ubly and Saginaw MLS...

UBLY — In football, a player never knows when an opportunity will present itself.

For Ubly’s David Rutkowski and Austin Bischer, they had to fill the shoes of one injured player.

In the first quarter of Friday’s Division 8 opening round game with Saginaw Michigan Lutheran Seminary, leading rusher Jason Kaufman went down with a leg injury.

Rutkowski took Kaufman’s place in the backfield while Bischer filled in at linebacker.

The moves worked as they helped lead the Bearcats to a gritty 22-15 victory.

“Those are some big shoes to fill,” said Ubly coach Dave Kaufman. “We had two guys come in that hadn’t played many valuable minutes for us and we asked them to do a lot.

“For those two guys to step in and contribute like that in the biggest game of the year is just huge for us. We’ve had a lot of guys that have had to step in and step up for us this year.”

The Bearcats’ sideline has turned into a M.A.S.H. unit. 

Kaufman’s injury makes five starters who are unable to play.

“This was all about perseverance,” Kaufman said. “One kid goes down, and another kid steps up to make plays. When you’re a small school like we are, when you have injuries, it makes it tough.”

Ubly put together a decent drive to start the game, but a failed fourth down attempt gave MLS the ball on its own 36 yard line. 

However, the Cardinals fumbled on their first play.

The Bearcats didn’t waste any time scoring as Austin Drake hit a wide open Bryan White. Kaufman ran in the 2-pointer to make it 8-0.

“They put 10 guys in the box and Austin hit Bryan White, who got behind them,” Kaufman said.

Wesley Towne helped MLS tie the game with a 66-yard TD run with 10:12 to play in the first half. Chance Hayes converted the 2-pointer.

The Bearcats responded with a 70-yard drive, capped off by a Drake 1-yard dive with 5:40 to play. 

MLS fumbled again on its ensuing possession. Nick Sweeney capped off the short drive with a 1-yard plunge. He also converted the 2-pointer to make it 22-8.

“We were feeling pretty good at halftime after putting two more on them,” Kaufman said.

Sweeney, who began the season in the backfield, hadn’t been part of the offense lately.

But with Kaufman’s injury, he was called upon to carry the load.

He responded, gaining 155 yards on 23 carries.

“Nick Sweeney hasn’t played offense since early in the year,” Kaufman said. “For him to come in like that and gain 155 yards says a lot. We needed him tonight.

“He was our workhorse. He may not be a heavy kid, but he runs hard.”

The Bearcats began the second half by forcing another turnover, setting themselves up with a short field.

Just as they were about to likely put the game away with a score, they were whistled for a false start near the goal line. The momentum of the drive was lost and Ubly turned the ball over on downs.

“If we score and get the 2-point conversion, it’s a 30-8 game,” Kaufman said. “I felt we had the right play called, but we just had a couple of guys jump.”

MLS made the Bearcats pay for their mistake as Hayes hooked up with Luke Morrell on a 40-yard touchdown to make it 22-15 with 20 seconds to play in the third.

Late in the fourth, Ubly was faced with a critical 4th-and-4 on the MLS 34-yard line. A conversion meant the likely end of the game. 

Kaufman called a roll out run for Drake, who gained 15 yards.

“We had been running inside and off tackle for the whole game,” he said. “We just felt we could get him to run outside.”

Despite the two big plays allowed, Ubly’s defense was otherwise very good, allowing just 155 yards rushing and 81 passing. 

Towne was limited to 75 yards and the other leading rusher for MLS, Stephen Dietrich, was held to 31 yards.

The Bearcats gained 317 yards on the ground and threw for 81. Jimmy Shaw added 94 yards on 20 totes.

Kaufman’s status after the game was unknown. He was taken for an X-ray.

Ubly will be on the road next week to take on New Lothrop in a rematch of the 2003 Division 7 regional final where the Bearcats won 52-22. They followed that up the next year and defeated the Hornets 42-7 in the 2004 Division 7 district semifinals.

New Lothrop defeated Kingston 54-6 on Friday.

GTE champs get rematch with Green Devils

HARBOR BEACH — Sometimes, opening round playoff games wind up being blowouts.

Not this one, says Harbor Beach coach Troy Schelke.

“Brown City is no cupcake, that’s for sure,” said Schelke, whose 9-0 Pirates host the 6-3 Green Devils at 7 p.m. Friday in a Division 7 first round playoff contest.

“Brown City is a very good team,” Schelke continued. “It’s a tough matchup for us. We wound up rallying and beat them the last time we played, so we know nothing is going to be easy.”

There was nothing easy about Harbor Beach’s come-from-behind 34-21 victory over the Green Devils in Week 4. The Pirates needed a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns to rally and pull out the victory, springboarding them to an undefeated season, a Greater Thumb East championship, and a No. 1 seed in the playoffs.

Meanwhile, the Green Devils lost two of their next three games after that heartbreaking setback, though managed to win their final two contests to get into the playoffs for just the second time since 1999.

“In our first meeting, we had the lead late in the game but just didn't make the plays when we needed to and Harbor Beach did,” said Brown City coach Scott Banks. 

“Harbor Beach is playing some great football with a lot of confidence right now. We need to try and contain their running game. If we can get them in down-and-distance situations that favor our defense, we may have a chance.”

Harbor Beach comes in rolling, knocking off Unionville-Sebewaing Area 56-0 in Week 9 to secure its first undefeated regular season and playoff spot since 2007.

“Our kids worked so hard this season,” Schelke said. “The season went by so fast, but I would say I was pleasantly surprised at how we played. We knew we had some good players, but we’re a pretty young team.”

There aren’t many younger on the squad than quarterback Eli Kraft, a sophomore who has been one of the best signal callers in the GTC.

“He’s been outstanding, no doubt,” Schelke said. “He’s very intelligent, so he’s picked up things that quarterbacks have to pick up very well.”

Banks knows all too well about Kraft’s prowess. Kraft scored on runs of 25, 40 and 50 yards for the Pirates in the teams’ first meeting.

 “Containing Kraft is another problem for us — as it has been for every team this year,” he said. “He can make so many things happen with his feet.”

Kraft isn’t Harbor Beach’s only weapon. Junior Sloan Klaski, who had two TDs in the previous meeting with the Green Devils, has come on and become a major threat in the backfield. Junior Aaron Ginther and sophomore Travis Essenmacher also have made significant contributions.

Schelke says his team needs to take advantage of every scoring opportunity it gets.

“We struggled in the red zone against them the last time,” Schelke said. “We need to do a better job of punching it in when we get the chance.”

For Brown City, its workhorse, Nate Primeau, had a career day against the Pirates, rushing for 252 yards in what Banks called “the best game I’ve seen from a high school running back.”

Schelke remembers it, too.

“Boy, he really did stress us out on defense,” Schelke admits. “He’s a tough runner. We’re going to have to deal with him much better.”

Primeau leads the Green Devils with 1,308 yards and 16 TDs.

Banks knows his team needs to be near flawless on offense to pull the upset

“Offensively, we need to keep our mistakes to a minimum,” he said. “We can't turn the ball over or have a lot of penalties and expect to win.”

There was some early speculation that Harbor Beach would fall into the Division 8 playoff field, though the coaching staff figured otherwise. 

“We kind of knew where we were going to fall after all the games last week,” Schelke said. “I think we’re the smallest school in Division 7, but that’s OK. We kind of relish that role as the underdog.”

The winner of this game will take on the winner of the Sandusky-Reese contest for the district championship.

Ubly hosts Saginaw MLS in opening round

Adams filed this report on the Ubly-Saginaw MLS contest

UBLY — For the first time in three regular seasons, Ubly finally suffered a loss.

In fact, the Bearcats lost twice, but it didn’t prevent them from making the postseason for the 11th straight year.

They will host Saginaw Michigan Lutheran Seminary (6-3) at 7 p.m. Friday in the opening round of the Division 8 playoffs. 

Looking back, the losses forced first-year coach Dave Kaufman and his staff to make some changes, including taking Jason Kaufman off the offensive line and moving him to running back.

Kaufman, listed at 6-foot-3 and 195 pounds has provided the big physical back the team needed after Bret Cleary was lost in the opening game against Unionville-Sebewaing Area.

In Week 3, Marlette ended the Bearcats’ 34-game regular season winning streak. Following that game, coach Kaufman decided to make some adjustments.

Also following that game, Jimmy Shaw returned from injury to provide stability in the backfield. He had his breakout game in a win over Bad Axe, turning in a six touchdown performance.

“Jimmy has really come into his own,” said Kaufman.

Although the loss to Marlette forced a few changes, a 34-22 setback to Harbor Beach in Week 5 made the entire team re-evaluate itself. The Pirates bolted to a 21-0 lead, and led 27-8 by halftime. 

At the break, Kaufman challenged his team. Although it didn’t result in a win, the second-half performance served to set the tone for the rest of the season.

“It was about pride,” Kaufman said. “We didn’t play Ubly football in the first half against Harbor Beach. Since the second half of that game, we’ve been playing Ubly football.”

Since the loss to Harbor Beach, Ubly has allowed just 14 points in four games, including three shutouts.

The Bearcats featured the best nine game defense in the Greater Thumb Conference, allowing just 8.2 points per game.

“I feel like our kids have gotten better every week,” Kaufman said.

The Bearcats are facing a team in MLS that was once a fixture in the playoffs during the 1980s and 1990s.

This the Cardinals’ second straight postseason berth, the first time that has happened since 1998.

“We’ve been undersized all year, so this won’t be any different,” Kaufman said. “They’ve got size, but we should be quicker.”

MLS features a nice backfield duo of Stephen Dietrich and Wesley Towne.

Both had nine touchdowns this season. Towne led the team with 809 yards and Dietrich rushed for 781.

Kaufman said the Cardinals will throw some different looks offensively, including option and Power-I.

MLS is the smallest team in the Tri-Valley West. The TVW sent five teams to the playoffs. The Cardinals were 1-3 against teams in the postseason, defeating Merrill (48-34) in Week 7.

“They come from a very good conference. They played some good competition,” Kaufman said.

Ubly is in a similar position. It is the smallest team in the Greater Thumb East, which also featured five teams in the playoffs.

The Bearcats were 2-2 against those teams, beating Sandusky (14-6) in Week 2 and Brown City (46-14) in Week 7.

“Having five teams in the playoffs really says a lot about how good our conference is,” Kaufman said. 

The winner of this game will face the winner of the Kingston (7-2) at New Lothrop (9-0) game for the district championship.

Owen-Gage gets another shot at CPS

CARSONVILLE — The good news for Owendale-Gagetown?

The first time the Bulldogs played Carsonville-Port Sanilac they managed to score 50 points.

The bad news?

They gave up 91.

That’s the uphill climb facing the 5-4 Bulldogs on Friday night when they travel to Carsonville-Port Sanilac to take on the 8-1 Tigers in the opening-round of the first-ever state sanctioned 8-man (Division 9) playoffs.

For the Bulldogs, it’s their first trek to the post-season since 1979, when the team finished 9-0 during the regular season, but dropped a 34-20 decision to Saginaw Michigan Lutheran Seminary in the first round of the playoffs.

Since then, Owen-Gage has finished above .500 just nine times, including this season — its third playing 8-man.

CPS comes into the contest as the unofficial defending state champion in 8-man. Last year, the Tigers beat Bellaire 25-14 in the unsanctioned 8-man title game.

CPS coach Tim Brabant thinks that experience will help his club as it looks for a repeat performance.

“I think last year is going to help us a lot,” he said. “For a lot of teams at the start of the season, winning a state championship might be a pipe dream. But to us, we feel like we have a legitimate shot.”

And for good reason. The Tigers come into the 8-man tournament with the most playoff points among the 16-team field at 61.063. Rapid River and Cedarville are the only other squads with at least eight wins.

“We think we’re in pretty good position,” Brabant said. “We were hoping to go undefeated, but we got caught looking ahead and Akron-Fairgrove beat us (in Week 3). We know we can’t do that at this time of the year. We know one big mistake at the wrong time can end it for the whole team.”

CPS didn’t make many mistakes in its 41-point victory over the Bulldogs on Oct. 7. The Tigers had a field day running and throwing over the Owen-Gage defense.

Brabant, though, knows there is room for improvement.

“The only negative from that game was that we gave up that many points,” he said. “We need to do a better job on defense. We think we can do some things on offense, but we need to limit them on defense.”

CPS has 10 seniors on the squad, led by quarterback Hayden Adams, receiver Trevor Adams and linebacker Steven Koehler.

“This year’s senior class is the most athletic and hard working class we have ever had at CPS,” Brabant said.

Koehler leads the defense with more than 100 tackles, including 30 “pancakes.”

“He’s been an absolute beast for us,” Brabant said.

Owen-Gage comes in off a tough 36-30 setback to Akron-Fairgrove in the regular season finale. The Bulldogs scored 24 first-quarter points, but saw the Vikings rally to beat them for the second time this season. Owen-Gage senior quarterback Hunter Champagne is one of the Bulldogs’ main weapons. Juniors Jordan Kain and Tommy Kennedy also make major contributions.

The winner of this game plays the winner of the Bellaire-Akron-Fairgrove contest in next week’s second round.
