This was an interesting week in the Huron League. Airport looked like they meant business against Milan and Huron is trying to put the past behind them.
Riverview: The Pirates had a rough week in losing to their arch-rival Grosse Ile 24-15. Not only did they lose the Colvin Cup they dropped to 0-3 on the season. The Pirates host winless Flat Rock this week and that seems like a good opportunity for Jeff Stergalas to get his first win at Riverview.
Flat Rock: The Rams laid an egg in their home opener against SMCC. Flat Rock has two major problems; they can’t score and they can’t stop anyone. That is not a good combination for success. Flat Rock travels to Riverview and it may a chance for them to taste victory for the first time this season.
Grosse Ile: The Red Devils are a happy bunch after beating Riverview on the mainland this past Friday. The offense has been impressive and diverse. GI should have a good opportunity to win another game when an average Milan team comes to town this week.
Milan: The Big Reds will have to regroup after the whipping they took in Carleton on Friday. The way I see it, Milan has beat two weak teams and lost to an excellent team. They face Grosse Ile this week and the Red Devils will be much better than the two weakling Milan beat up on the first 2 games of the season.
Huron: The Chiefs won one of the biggest games in their history on Friday at Jefferson. The Bears are a team the Chiefs had to beat in order to become the last Monroe County region team to ever qualify for the playoffs. Huron can really find out where they stand when SMCC comes calling on Friday night.
Jefferson: I don’t think the Bears thought there was any chance of defeat when Huron came to town on Friday. The Bears would simply run the ball every play and get the “W”. The problem is, the Bears threw the ball too much and hurt themselves while doing in. Jefferson host Airport on Friday and the Bears will have their hands full again with Airport’s speedy team.
Airport: The Jets made a statement by punishing Milan in Carleton on Friday. The entire team was clicking and simply made the Big Reds look like a JV squad. Airport travels to Jefferson on Friday and the Bears always play the Jets tough.
SMCC: SMCC was not in a particularly good mood when they arrived in Flat Rock on Friday. They responded by scoring virtually every time they touched the ball. SMCC travels to New Boston on Friday and will have to defend Huron’s potent offense.
I was 2-2 last week and that moves my record to a rather disappointing 11-5 on the season. This week will be a tough call to improve on that record with some even matchups happening. Look for my predictions on this week’s game on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Huron is a very good team this year. When is the last time we have seen a huron team like this? If SMCC doesn't show up to play, and think that they've got this in the bag, you'll be seing another upset by huron.
I love you Rusty ;)
Do people realize what potential is? Potential means you have not used your talent, but it is there. So when you say you have potential that means nothing. Someone got mad about my Huron prediction, the fact I only having you losing by 7 to SMCC, one of the two league title contenders, that is a complement to how much your team has improved. All you have to do from here on out is beat bad teams, by doing that you will make the playoffs and get dominated by Airport, Inkster, Allen Park or whoever you would draw. And that would be a great season for Huron, and I know everyone on this forum argrees that if Huron made the playoffs it would be astonishing. So take the compliment and run with it. However, I will never pick Huron over Airport, SMCC, or Milan until I see them do it once. And please prove me wrong and beat SMCC, I would love to see it.
And I say we should stop posting as anonymous, own up to our comments and what we say, otherwise we probably shouldn't say it. Peace from Chicago y'all.
Don't always agree with your stuff, but I really enjoy and look forward to reading the updates, etc.
High school football - It does not get any better than that!
Seems sir that you are a know nothing... What class of team you beat determines how many playoff points you get when you beat that team. Divisions are not made up until the very last game is played in the regular season. So to beat a 6-3 class A team is is worth more points than beating a 6-3 class B team. Division does not come into play whatsoever until game 10(palyoffs). Where as class is in effect from game 1-9. GOT IT!
Come on now, how could someone who is into HL football at all think that any game is an easy one. Some teams are always walking around with targets on their backs, and CC is one of them. Because of their history, people think of the team as some sort of trophy team to beat. Teams always play their hardest against them. I know Jefferson has always treated it as the game of the year. I think Airports overconfidence will help other teams this year. Keep it up Airport, you are the best, you are amazing! Wow, never seen a team like this one! Woohoo! I love it. It will make your target a big one! Go Bears!
Sometimes you dont have a choice of who you play for homecoming. Homecoming is a distraction. I have seen several people bring it up as if CC scheduled it to help them... quite the contrary but they had no choice. Just another hurdle CC will have to overcome if they are to beat the favorite Airport.
For all you No Nothings that sit here on this site and talk about Class A and Class B on a football site need to get a clue... Classes have absolutly nothing to do with football... Basketball does but Football goes by division and CC is in 6 Airport is in 3.. GOT IT?
Ill say this.... I watched Airport v. Huron and if SMCC doesnt try something a little different then the straight lace em up and pound the rock, Huron might make this a contest.
Huron did an exceptional job of stuffing Airports middle running game, and the Jets did most of their damage on speed sweeps and stuff to the outside.
Huron will move the ball and score points for sure. If their DE's show up and play contain, Huron wins.
And it might be a bigger spread then the Jefferson game.
Flat Rocks a young team, and they play good defense. But only for so long. It's no excuse they need to step up there game.
They have two threats on offense, Connor and Blosser, some freshman they brought up. Im telling you, look out for this kid in the next couple years. Connor only has near 300 and Blosser with at least 100.
They run hard but penalties kill them. They will make a late season run and win a couple games, but I see the rams finishing 3-6 or 4-5.
