Huron League Thoughts and Questions

View Comments

• Jefferson offense has had more yards than almost everyone they have faced this year. They have been plagued by turnovers and penalties. Without that they are as good as any offense in the league, except MILAN.

• These are just my comments, if you dont agree you don't have to leave a nasty note. Sandore is a good back, but as a GI parent who has seen SMCC and Milan, he is no better than the fourth back I have seen play so far. Without sounding like a homer I feel Vollmerhousen is just as good. I have not seen the 2 Riverview backs yet, but I hear they are likewise better. I dont mean to upset anyone. Also I do not think Jeffersons offensive line is very good either. Sorry.

• scoring 12 vs the view doesn't seem like your offense is that good.

• I do have many facts. I'm just not going to put kids names on here. There are some that are athletics based and some that are not. I'm talking of the ones dealing with athletics only. To me, not a good reason to change high schools.

• "We're"

• "Tired of all the transfers going around the state now with open enrolment. Kids are getting recruited in grade school to go to whichever school and the parents don't have to pay a dime. I didn't like open enrolment and I dislike it more."

  You're beating a dead horse, and have zero facts to back up what you say, nor do you have any knowledge as to why some people use school of choice/open enrollment... Stop, just stop... SMH

• Jefferson has a very good offensive line and Sandore is right there with the best of them. I don't have the current stats, but some of the numbers he has put up this year have not been topped.
  The line opens the holes and he gets the job done.
  The O-line has been the bright spot on this team. Were not in the hunt because of our defense, and the many mistakes at crucial times.
  This will be a great game, almost always is, regardless of records.

• I don't know why most people on here are posting anonymously, but to the guy who said I am over coaching, you underestimate what kids can do. I coach in Colorado at a 5A school (2000+ students). I have 55 kids on my JV. It's a different situation than what I grew up with in the Huron League playing at Flat Rock. In the 7 games I've coached this year, 5 of our opponents run the spread and I have incorporated more coverage concepts than passes you will see in any given Huron League game. And because it is big school football, there is plenty of talent on JV (our Sophomore HB runs a 4.5 40 and is behind 3 Varsity HB's). So, I incorporate different fronts and coverages to combat the talent we face on a regular basis. There are things I can do with a big roster of kids going one way that I could never do in the Huron League. I admire and respect the Huron League and after having coaching in MI, IN and CO, there are better coaches overall in the Huron League. However, when you have numbers, talent and intelligence, why not coach to stop what the offense does well since you are already "tough, learn fundamentals and use speed?" There is no lack of toughness or speed when you have a big roster like mine. Besides, if a kid can learn the 5 plays Jefferson ran when I was in high school, then they can learn three coverages (2 deep, 3 deep and Man).

• Sandore is not the best back in the league. You have 2 backs at the view that are better. 2 backs at SMCC that are better. And a back at Milan that's better. The reason I say this is because all 3 teams have a better offensive line than Jefferson. If sandore had the line then the bears would be playing for a title or a playoff spot. One player dies not make a team. And that game won't even be close. SMCC by 21 easily.
