Huron League Thoughts and Questions

View Comments

• Just wanted to say I was the first poster and apparently I was not such a homer was I?

• Word is Consortium had 4 critical kids sitting when they played Riverview. They are supposed to be back for playoffs. Not sure of the impact, but SMCC-Consortuim game could be closer than you think.

• District Championship for any of our Huron League teams? tough one. Would love for them all to keep going. Robichaud is the biggest stumbling block

  Airport decided not to go away quietly. Good for them!

  SMCC looks to be starting their two or three year run a little early. Yep...Always good always loads of talent. BTW. Sophomore RB Lako is a former GI kid. played and learned with the Trenton/GI GIYRA program.

  Nice win by Grosse Ile, Chandler Park was loaded. AMEN!

  Will Van Washenova be given the job at Airport? I don't think so, have some ideas on it though, just not willing to post them

  All is fair in love, war and football

  My contact at the SMCC game was seated by 6:15 pm. That is kinda early. Maybe your contact works the game or is a volunteer.

  Unimpressed with the small crowd at Grosse Ile Friday. Lots of other GI teams moving on ie Soccer, Volleyball, Cross country. Coaches and parents don't want these kids out in the cold drizzle. Same reason the Football team won't be in Mason to support soccer tonight.

  Levi Eddings is a beast! Yes

  The Chandler Park coach reminded me of a whiny baby. !!!AGREE!!!

  It appears that Milan showed some playoff jitters on Friday. Don't expect that again. Totally agree. Hopefully Milan is on a roll.

  Unlike many on the GI side, I was impressed with UM recruit Csonte' York. As was I, GI had to change their game to defend him. I thought he was terrific, just a bit of a baby.

  What game should I go to this week? Milan/Tecumseh should be a great game. Save SMCC for next week.

• eddings has been a beast from his days playing little league for the romulus flyers . holds two middle school records . 15 tackles most in a game and 56 most in a season .

• Also, if you are so inclined, please vote for Tecumseh vs. Milan for the AnnArbor.com game of the week:

• To the first poster here, please keep hating Milan. *Please* keep hating. The world would be too weird if you stopped now.

  Milan v Tecumseh should be a really entertaining game because it will be a battle of similar teams. I don't know exactly what offense the Indians run, but I know their QB gives them a very dangerous balance to their offense.

  Will the improved weather help one side more than the other?

  I give the Big Reds slight advantages in rushing offense and overall defense and I'll give the Indians a slight advantage in the passing game until I see Milan receivers hang onto the ball this week.

  Also, I'm looking for a better week from the coaching staff on the offensive side of the ball. Early on in last week's game, it looked like the coaches were trying to not put much on the tape. They really stayed away from Dukes, as if Tecumseh couldn't get their hands on some season stats and see that both Dukes and Kanitz had a bunch of carries this season. Arthur Dukes III is a lot of things, but he's no secret weapon.

  In fact, one of the reasons for Milan's success on offense was because defenses so often keyed on Dukes and allowed Kanitz's running and the overall passing game to be effective. Later in games, Dukes would rip off at least one monster run and by the end of the game his stat line would be very solid.

  The coaching staff needs to allow the offense to do what needs to be done in the moment and worry about the next game the next week.

  As I've said before, it's much better to learn these lessons in victory than in defeat.

  I'd like to invite anyone interested to come on up to Milan and check out the action this Friday!

• Vote for the only Huron League team in the Local 4 - Football Frenzy game of the week :

• Eddings is probably the best thing that msmcc defense has had in quite a while.

• I called it before the playoffs-SMCC will go the furthest. Milan has a good shot at winning-just keep playing the way you have been and finish the long drives this week. GI will lose by at least 20.

• Central will pull them inside the phonebooth and pound them wear it hurts I would think. Its usually about defense, they played it last week and hopefully can do the same.

  Home game with dark unis, muddy field, dingy lights.. another perfect situation for "hide the hoagie" ball.
