Week 8 Picks Part II

Huron/Grosse Ile: Huron has won the last two in this series including last years game 49-21 as the Red Devils took Huron’s place in the basement of the league the last two years. Prior to that Grosse Ile recorded 18 straight victories over Huron.

Huron has fallen on hard times lately as they haven’t been able to recover from their narrow loss to SMCC in week 4. After high expectations the Chiefs can salvage the season somewhat by beating GI and Crestwood and finishing 4-5.

Grosse Ile has a chance to finish the season at 5-4 if they can slip by the Chiefs then beat Ida in week 9. That would be a huge turnaround for a team that had lost 20 straight entering the season.

This could be a fun game to watch this week if Huron decides to trust their coach and just play. GI loves the offensive side of the ball and so does Huron. Each team has an excellent quarterback, running back and receiver and the difference may come down to the defenses stepping up. I think Huron has a chance to win this if they play their best game. My gut says the Chiefs might but they have let me down the last few weeks. GI wins this game 27-24.

Jefferson/SMCC: Jefferson has won two in a row against their arch-rivals in this series and much like this year each time SMCC had the better team. Jefferson has also won 7 out of the last 10 against the Catholics.

Jefferson has gotten back on track the last few weeks against Riverview and Flat Rock. Those two teams aren’t world beaters by any stretch but confidence can go a long way when your playing a good team. Jefferson has been running the ball better and teams must respect their quarterback.

SMCC is quite simply, rolling along. The Falcons are peaking at the right time and two more wins against quality opponents could help them immensely as the State playoffs approach.

I’m guessing that this game will be the usual hard fought game that you see every year from these two teams. This also may be one of the fastest games you’ll see all year as their probably won’t be many passes. Don’t be surprised if the Bears bite the Falcons again this year but I’m going with the team I picked to win the league 27-14

  • It's official, Rustayo is a SMCC and GI hater and in love with Airport. Plus, he completely purjured himself from a previous post.... DUDE, YOUR GUILTY OF BIAS and negative posts!

    So the cat is out of the bag and most of us will know that his posts are utter GARBAGE and filled with spite and venom. He'll continue to offer a one-sided slant that only respects his AIRPORT football knowledge. And lets be clear, you couldn't give credit where credit is due if you were Chase Bank!!

    We'll look forward to his future posts....to skip over that is!

    SITOFN...and I'm sorry for not signing 10/15 @ 9:07, not on purpose I just forgot.

  • Well the bear incident is key because if your saying smcc does not have senior leadership then that's just poor

  • Believe me I began my career with GI, they are weak, they have no history of winning, they give up in games, their character doesn't exist. That's why it pains me, I said Huron could make the playoffs, and right now they are 2-5, and I think they are worse than Grosse Ile. So Anonymous, at least take credit if you will truly stand up to me. Otherwise, respect my football knowledge. If I was biased I would state my true opinions, such as Steve Robb is a bad coach with the best league talent, I hate SMCC and want them to loose, I wish GI was banished from the league, Airport is the greatest team ever. Instead, you see me try to give credit where credit is due while it drives me crazy to pick SMCC over anyone. Anonymous is another term for scared, so come out of hiding people.

  • Hey Rustayo...you just broke your arm trying to pat yourself on the back for "trying not write out of bias"......PLEASE STOP.

    To be clear, this is not my opinion, it's a matter of fact based on your own words: "pains me to pick, not a good team, they hate"

    Step up to the plate and admit you are biased and the hypocracy of trying to say you aren't just plain smells bad. IT'S OK root for your team(s), just don't try to act like you don't and PLEASE forgo the bias against others with spite and venom.

    Could it be your one of the "haters" out there???? It's your post, not mine that seems to say so. You all know who you are.

  • Enough said about the "Oley Incident"... The bears may have been out of cync a little bit after this happened but he wasn't the team....yes he was good and made a horrible mistake that affected his whole team... but as we all know a team consists of more than 1 indivdual! The bears have many individuals that are extremely talanted that you all may not recognize as your so called "Friday Night Stars" yet....and it maybe because these individuals know what a team truely consists of (i.e. a fullback nor halfback can get yardage if their line isn't doing there job)! These boys(all of them) have worked hard, sticking together win or lose through adversity and has shown enormous heart stepping up to the plate when given the opportunity and giving one another credit where credit is due! We as adults; parents and coaches both should be encouraging our children to do their best...striving to reach their goals...never giving up...never giving in...and I have seen this in these young men! So I can honestly say win or lose Friday night this team will still walk away a winner because they have learned what it means to be a team! After saying that I'm picking the Bears to win 24-17!

  • You are only talking about the stat leaders..Sr. or Jr...they all respect each other.they are not out to gain yours...again another hater.CC's team respects the SR's,Jr's.,coaching and their endless support.Respect breeds success.

  • Give it up. Smcc shows leadership as a whole it's called tradition. Tradition of excellence on and off the field of being leaders. I don't think cc has any incidents like jeffersons. Because smcc has class

  • yes it really is us parents doing the hating and writing on the blogs talking smack becasue for most of these schools the know better then not to post anything bad because they have disipline

  • no smcc doesnt have the best senior leadership!!! and about the jr leadership. as of what us fans can see from the stands the only leaders are pannone howey lovell wilson and labeau. none the year 2nd year jrs or the kicker.. oh an the hoss thats pushin it.
