Huron League Thoughts and Questions

View Comments

• Trenton cannot compete in the downriver league.

• Trenton would not join the Huron League. They have a good thing on never leaving the Area in the Downriver League.

• Wasn't there a Huron League AD that was pushing a two tier plan a few years ago? Sure looked like a good idea back then and is still a good idea now.

• yes airport is going to have some solid returners for next year season. not a whole lot, but Jodeci Mays and Derrek Williams are going to be the backs (to answer the 3rd comment on here the good hurdler is him) and a solid line with jake DeWeese (Center), Anthony Kitts (LG), and Troy Cook (LT). So expect a lot of the juniors next year to play because the WHOLE JV team got moved up for playoffs!

• justafan.....I'll say something about the ref's at the Flushing/Airport game, but I'm sure I'll be accused by those who weren't even at the game, of being a crybaby. Flushing was going to the playoffs before Airport even took the field. The ref's had there minds made up before the kick off. No flags were thrown during the 1st half. Flushing scored twice in the 1st quarter. 2nd quarter Airport figured out the offense and shut them down. After the half, Airport came out pissed. Then came the flags, over 25 of them! Almost every other play resulted in an Airport penalty of sort. They were calling anything and everything. Airport is not, or has been a penalty prone team. Airport shut down the Flushing defense, and had some great drives, all to be called back for a penalty. I believe 3 of Airports coaching staff was flagged for standing to close to the field. Illegal formations, holding, you name it, the ref's stopped every drive Airport put together. Very sad to watch. THEY took the game from them. Now for those of you who weren't even there to witness this BS, just keep it to yourself. You have no room to talk. Your team could have been the one getting F'd over.

• with the transportation budjets beign cut would Trenton actualy want to drive to Dundee for any sporting event. That is what doomed the MEGA driving to Ypsilanti to find out a out door event was canceled and then having to rearange transportion. Plus Dundee would not wany to drive to GI nor would GI want to drive to Dundee especally in the winter time. Would be at least a hour drive for either school

• Id Divine child pulled out a win against Melvindale that sure would make smcc look good! It is unlikely however.

  I think this year is a little harder for SMCC, but I see them squeaking by the district and regional. Airport hopefully will take advantage of their district and a first round home game. Milan I think will lose to Adrian, but they have pulled surprises before.

• I know all four of those teams have shown interest and have approached the Huron League about joining.

  The LCAA would fold. They have lost some teams recently, like Clinton that bolted for the tri-county conference.

  Trenton will have a hard time competing in the Downriver League against those larger schools.

• SMCC vs Harper Woods- SMCC is home-plays the winner of:
  Blissfield vs Ecorse-Ecorse is home

  Airport vs Chelsea- Aiport is home-plays the winner of:
  Milan vs Adrain- Adrain is home
