Huron League Thoughts and Questions

Could SMCC have played any better?

Kicker Matt DeJong from Montague was unbelieveable.

Friday’s championship game showed why the Huron League coaches picked T.J. Lovell as the Defensive Player of the Year.

How fast is Michael Howey?

Montague didn’t punt in the championship game.

SMCC will miss their seniors but will probably just reload.

It was good to see league support for SMCC at Ford Field.

I thought $40 for a family of four was pretty steep for a high school football game.

I wish people were willing to comment without remaining anonymous.

Montague’s Cody Kater was fun to watch.

Dinner for four at Armondos in Meixcantown cost me $90. Ouch!

If I had to pick a running back in the Huron League it would be tough not to pick Chris LaBeau

  • I may also add that the top teams in D6 year in and year out(Montague,Constantine,SMCC,Saginaw Nouvel,Blissfield) would win the Huron league most every year.

  • Your enrollment dictates what division you play in come playoff time. SMCC has proven it can beat much bigger schools(Huron League, Bedford, DDC...) it need not prove it in the playoffs. I think they welcome the chance to play schools their size.

  • Dont kid yourself,playing in the Huron league is good for any team,but dont act like alot of games were close,even if the other team is bigger.Doesnt mean your good because you are big

  • Bloodynutter,I guess you are right about SMCC. I don't know. Some people (not all) just think the only reason they go far is because they are only in D6 and it isn't that good. I agree TCSF/Monty//SMCC/JLC round robin would be awesome!!

  • I would have loved to see TCSF-Montague-SMCC and JLC play a round robin but that will never happen.

  • In 1987 SMCC played Farmington Hills Harrison(the greatest program in MHS football history) in the Class B state playoffs.... FHH's enrollment was 950(B) and SMCC's 530(C).

    To your post about SMCC moving up--
    since 2003 SMCC has a D6 playoff record of 18-7 with no state titles to speak of. I would call that a very good record but not dominant. In my opinion SMCC is fine right where they are, I am not sure how moving up would help anyone? Maybe you could explain how this would help them or the rest of the teams in the division they would be leaving. thanks

  • thank you bloodynutter. so it is possible. i think smcc should consider it along with some other teams in the state. maybe TC ST. Francis and Jackson Lumin Chrisit. i don't know maybe its just me, but i would think about it if i were those schools. it's just my opinion.

  • Yes it is possible to ask the MHSAA to move up. MCC/SMCC did it for years. They won the 91 state title playing class B but had a class C enrollment. Coopersville had double the enrollment of CC. Other teams have done it as well.
