Defensively, Beau Rasmussen anchored the Rockets with 10 tackles, followed by Deegan Carter with nine. Tre Johnson, Preston Castle, and Messing each added seven stops in a gritty team effort.

WIDL 92.1 FM — Game of the Week Replay: USA edges Reese in 32nd Annual Sugar Bowl thriller |  Announcers: Scott Bolsby & Landyn Schott The WIDL 92.1 FM crew rolled into Sebewaing Township for the 32nd Annual Sugar Bowl — and fans were treated to a classic. Unionville-Sebewaing snapped a four-year losing streak to Reese with a 24-22 victory, grinding out the win behind a powerhouse rushing night from senior Brady Green. Green carried the Patriots with 250 yards and two touchdowns on 40 carries, setting the tone early with a 14-yard score and adding a 22-yard touchdown in the third quarter. Quarterback Davis Peters added a 6-yard touchdown pass to Maddox Nitz just before halftime, while Nitz and DJ Harrison each recorded seven tackles on defense. Bryson Finkbeiner chipped in 40 rushing yards, three tackles and a key fumble recovery, with Gracy Bolzman and Kasen Fiebig adding four tackles apiece. For Reese, Deegan Carter ran for 92 yards on 14 carries, Steele Stricker added 44 rushing yards, a 10-yard touchdown pass to Luke Messing, and a late scoring run that kept the Rockets in the game. But USA’s ground attack and clock control proved too much, as the Patriots secured their first Sugar Bowl victory since 2020 — sending their home crowd into celebration.

WIDL 92.1 FM — Game of the Week Replay: Cass City dominates Caro in M-81 Clash | October 3, 2025 Announcers: Scott Bolsby & Landyn Schott The WIDL broadcast team headed to Cass City for the annual M-81 Clash, where the Red Hawks extended their dominance over rival Caro with a 33-6 victory — their 13th straight in the series. Sophomore quarterback Preston Dorland led the charge, accounting for four total touchdowns — three on the ground and one through the air — while also picking off a pass on defense. Will Perry added both a rushing and receiving touchdown and paced the defense with eight tackles as Cass City’s homecoming crowd celebrated another statement win. Caro broke a long drought against the Red Hawks’ defense, scoring for the first time in the rivalry since 2018 when Mason Henry found Luke Joslyn on a 7-yard touchdown strike. Joslyn led the Tigers in both receiving and tackles, while Tyler Enos and Owen Creutz each chipped in defensively.

WIDL 92.1 FM — Game of the Week Replay: Reese Rockets roll past Marlette on Homecoming | September 26, 2025 Announcers: Scott Bolsby & Landyn Schott The WIDL crew was under the Friday night lights in Reese as the Rockets stormed back from an early deficit to knock off Marlette 28-14 and cap Homecoming with a statement win. After the Red Raiders opened the second quarter with a 1-yard touchdown from Adam Wilcox, senior Deegan Carter exploded for three long scoring runs — 69, 34 and 64 yards — to lead Reese to its third victory of the season. Carter finished the night with 184 rushing yards on just eight carries, three touchdowns, six tackles and an interception. Quarterback Steele Stricker added a 32-yard touchdown strike to Carson Soper, while Emma Fisher was crowned homecoming queen during halftime festivities. Marlette’s Owen Anderson carried 23 times for 127 yards, Payne Degelbeck added 75 yards and a late touchdown, and Trey Lester completed all three of his pass attempts. But the big plays from Carter proved too much to overcome as Reese stayed in the Big Thumb White Division title hunt.

Kingston fell behind early as Deckerville capitalized on penalties and missed opportunities, taking a 15-0 halftime lead. The Cardinals mounted a strong second-half comeback behind senior quarterback Tanner James, who threw for 82 yards and two touchdowns — one each to Peyton Harrington and Nick Cummings — but time ran out on their rally. Cummings also led Kingston’s defense with 12 total tackles, while Harrington added six and contributed 57 receiving yards. Despite the loss, head coach Eric Hartsell praised his seniors and emphasized the team’s playoff focus, saying: “This doesn’t define our season. There’s still a whole lot of football left, and we’re going to fix our mistakes and move forward.” The Cardinals (6-1, 5-1) travel to Dryden this Friday before wrapping up the regular season at home against Marion.
