Thi is the Game of the Week in the Huron League. Grosse Ile (2-2) is coming off of a 56-14 victory over Flat Rock while SMCC (4-0) beat Huron 27-7. SMCC won last season’s match up 28-0 and leads the all-time series 39-14-2.
The Red Devils have strung together back to back wins after losing at home to Jefferson. Senior RB/LB Tim Beach is quietly having a solid season on both sides of the ball for Grosse Ile while junior QB Justin Moores has been efficient and solid in his first year leading the team.
SMCC simply does what they do very well. They run the ball at you every play with one of three backs then surprise you with a pass. Senior Hunter Coombe has shown why he is one of the best two-way players in the league. First year Varsity Head Coach Adam Kipf and his staff have quickly settled into being a solid staff that is molding a team that is capable of making another long playoff run.
The Falcons have shown that they are very good at stopping the run, but will see a very different look this week as the Red Devils will spread the field and then use every weapon they have to exploit you. SMCC’s defense is very good, but the secret to their success may be the fact that the offense eats up huge chunks of time with each possession. Pick: SMCC 34 Grosse Ile 19

This games outcome was decided years ago. GI has several kids that work hard, but SMCC just doesn't work hard during football season, they have been working for this win for the past decade.
I think I'd be more worried about Huron but what ever.
Milan is not looking past anyone. Too good of a coaching staff. That same staff has beat SMCC 2 of the last 3 years and won 2 of 3 Huron League titles. Not sure there's really any comeback for those facts lol
61 comments about GI and SMCC and less than 20 about Milan and Huron. Even #9's dad commenting about this match up. Why because you are all concerned that CC is going to run away with the league this year. You don't want this so you give advice on how to stop them. I'm hoping that Huron teaches Milan a lesson in humility because they are looking past them.
You couldn't be more wrong. I just like reading everyone's opinion and giving mine. That's what the blog is for. Milan is prepared for Huron. Maybe you guys are more worried about Milan and not so much about GI. Guess we will see tomorrow. Good luck.

I completely understand. You should see the stuff I don't let through. Unfortunately I think it is a select few buttheads.
Thanks for reading.
This is the last time I will return to this blog. Chris, even though you and I do not see eye to eye on many things, I enjoyed your blog most of the time. However, I truly believe that it has turned into an SMCC "Slamfest". Almost every posting is from some mental midget who has nothing positive to say about anything. And when we SMCC fans cheer for our boys, we get slammed again for being pompous. If we say anything positive about the other teams, we get slammed for having some hidden agenda. We have been accused of everything short of "fixing" games. We have recruited and stolen every single student in our school, according to these "experts". And it's all because we win. I'm not being pompous, I'm just stating the facts. I'll be the first one to say that Fandom works both ways, but it is just getting too tedious. So good luck with your blog. Jealousy and hatred is a lot easier to spout than actually learning your facts.
Comment of the season goes to 1:37pm. This is an absolute gem - "Is it possible that keeping this stellar athelete off the field was just an early sign of the new SMCC coach becoming one of the best coaches in the league?
I'll be at the game rooting for GI. I hope they play well and keep it close and have a shot at the end. I believe the Devils can play with SMCC just not sure if tomorrow will be that day. Prediction: GI 28 MCC 31 I hope I'm worng!
Bottom line, we all give our input to see SMCC get beat. Fun to see the ideas.
If they don't mind, we don't mind.
Let on PREY on them!! LOL
