Huron League Thoughts and Questions

View Comments

• Having watched Huron this entire season, I can tell you that until they are coached to play some type of blitzing/stunting defense, it will be more of the same: 3-6, 4-5, 5-4 and no playoff games. They have some talented athletes, but are hurting for some physical size as well to play the type of D that was asked of them.

  To top it off, too often I watched Huron D tackles and ends sitting at the line, trying to tackle and getting drug 5 yards because they were simply trying to fill a hole. I know that this will be the armchair coach comment, but there's no way you can support a hard hitting, nasty defense that gets the job done, sitting on your heels. Until Huron ramps up the D, expect more of the same W-L records.

• I was 8-0 . Congrats...but an easy week for picks

  Who ever doubted Milan. Super season, well coached.

  Was there some defense being played by the Pirates last night? Funny.

  Was that the first time that any Grosse Ile player has visited Hazel Park? Yes, and the visitor stands were more full than the home team. Beautiful facility, nice people, great homemade chicken soup.

  Chiefs look good in pink. Big Grin.

  Long off season in Carleton. Seems to me they need a plan and some specific assignment coaching. Good players, Big, tired quickly.

  Nice class showed by the host Jefferson Bears last night. Nice.

  I won't pick against the Big Reds anytime soon. Good, they have proven themselves and deserve support.

  Most likely a tough road in Division 5 for SMCC. Agree, but I think they will do well.

  Riverview is going to force somebody to play defense in the playoffs. and then again, maybe not.

  I think Grosse Ile will be very good next season. Maybe best team GI has ever had next year.

  Huron too! I agree! Huron has some really talented kids.

  Airport will say good bye to a very very good high school player. Too bad the season wasn't better.

  Will they declare unabhangigkeit? Had to look that one up, won't be the spoiler.

  Who makes a long playoff run? choosing not to speculate and hope they all go a long way. fingers crossed.

• If anyone is wondering, Unabhangigkeit is the German word for independence...nice one Chris. I assume you are either talking about the speculation of FR or Northern Colorado leaving their respective local coalitions?

• unabhangigkeit? What does this mean?

• I will post my all league picks soon.

• It is high school sports and everyone still believes these kids are all going pro! best thing they can do is play together with friends, make memories and have fun !

• Not too many players on a 3 win team are that noticeable. But apparently this is one you should have known, according to 12:33 poster. Lol

• Yes you should make your teammates better! You hit it on the head! I'll take a guy anytime that makes everyone around them better over stat fillers. Not saying that this kid is, I just respect guys who lead and make people better.

• Minus injuries, why do we always just blame the coach. If your so darn good aren't you supposed to make your teammates better?

• Whoa...easy tiger. To give praise to someone for boosting a team out of the 1-8 gutter is sorta silly. Great punting alone doesn't win games. Guys that win games with their team are great. Game I saw had a different standout. Sorry I asked.
