Max Bullough helps TCSF to title
Matt Dorsey
SpartanMag.com In a game that showcased just how good a player the Michigan State Spartans have coming, Max Bullough did a little bit of everything to help Traverse City Saint Francis High School reclaim the Division 7 State Title. The 6-foot3, 225-pound Bullough made plays on offense, defense and special teams as the Gladiators defeated Ubly High School 41-13.
On defense Bullough excelled form his linebacker spot by racking up a game high 15 tackles against potent Ubly attack. On offense Bullough caught a pass for a two point conversion and on special team he was perfect on PAT, going 3 for 3.
Ubly's offensive formation is designed to make it difficult for the middle linebacker to make plays. Ubly used a double tight end T formation which essentially allows for another blocker in the run game. The Nebraska Cornhuskers used a similar formation effective during the Tommie Frazier era. However, Ubly had not faced a front as effective as Saint Francis' or a linebacker with as much speed and scraping ability as Bullough.
The championship was Saint Francis's 3rd in the last 6 years in Division.
