• Post on September 12th at 8:40 a.m., you have the silliest post I have EVER read on this blog. So you are telling me that you have watched every single Huron League team play this year? Have you even watched Riverview play this year? Worst team in years for the view? Do you remember the 08 season when they went 1-8 with Gross as their coach? No probably not because you are probably in high school or just graduated high school. You have not watched the league for years and if you have you don't do too great of a job. Yes, the league may be down this year but Huron is a hell of a lot better this year than they were 10 years ago. It is people like you that give me a big laugh and prove that some people who post comments on here have absolutely no idea what they are talking about.

• Everyone thinks the league is down because SMCC is 1-2. I would have to say the league was down in the past until this year. The league is better this year because the league is up for grabs. Was anyone getting bored with SMCC winning every year?? I still see athletes all around the league on every team.

• It must have been the home scoreboard operator. Oh that is right, the game was at Milan.

• All schools are scrambling for students (aka $$). This is true in every school district and this would also hurt numbers on all sports teams. I do agree that this is the reason for the league being down (also that ALL other leagues are down not just Huron League). Also many schools insist on additional sports and this further waters down the talent pool. Just saying that the league is down because there is no talent is simply not true.

• I don't know if anyone else noticed in the milan and huron game, but with about 30 seconds left huron failed to gain the first down on 3rd down but the clock was stopped until the ball was snapped on 4th down. That would have taken off at least 10 more seconds, and huron never gets the chance to run the last play they scored on as time would have ran out by then. The officials and coaches need to notice the clock isn't running in that situation. Milan should have won besides the other bad calls.

• After watching these first 3 weeks of games I have to say the league is pretty equal but is definatly down compared to what we have seen in the past. The teams are just struggling for numbers and the amount of athletic kids are way down. Each team has a few but not near the numbers we have had in the past. I am also suprised at the size and speed. The teams I have watched are slow and small except for a few on each team.

  I hate saying the league is down also but its true. Just not all the talented athletic kids we have seen in the past.

• I said you had NO CLUE about your statment that HURON is as good as they were 10 years ago. If you truly believe that then you have NO CLUE. They are waaaay better than 10 years ago and the program is on the up. All your other dribble I just ignored.

• Its not a trend. Officials are officials. They do the best job they can. Just like coaches, players and parents. Some are good, some average and some not so much.

• I know this is a subject that many roll their eyes at but the officiating needs to be addressed in the Huron League. Its as bad as I can ever remember and I'm mainly focusing on the player safety side of it. I watched a punter get clocked and got the ball away clean. Ref. standing right there and no call. Late hits and blocks in the backs and no calls. They don't seem varsity ready. A trend or is it just me?

• I hear Coach Mitroka (I think he played for Army) brings new excitement to the GI defense this year. He didn't appear active during the Varsity game. He has really helped the JV.
