MHSAA State Playoff Pairings

Division 6
Region 4 District 2
Clinton (9-0) @ SMCC (8-1)
Michgan Collegiate (5-4) @ Madison Heights Madison (8-1)

Outlook: This will be a three team battle. Not sure how SMCC secures a home game while 9-0 Clinton ends up playing on the road. This may be the year Clinton gets by SMCC.

State Champion Pick: Traverse City St. Francis

Division 4
Region 4 District 1
Detroit Cesar Chavez (7-2) @ Milan (7-2)
Detroit Denby 5-4 @ Detroit Collegiate Prep (9-0)

Outlook: This district is Milan’s to win. Chavez wouldn’t win a game in the Huron league. Collegiate Prep hasn’t played a very tough schedule. If you aren’t familiar with them, they are the old Detroit Northwestern.

State Champion Pick: Zeeland West

Division 3
Region 4 District 1
New Boston Huron (5-4) @ Trenton (8-1)
Romulus (6-3) @ Chelsea (8-1)

Outlook: Huron has to feel fortunate to be in the playoffs. Trenton and Chelsea are the favorites.

Region 4 District 2
Riverview (6-3) @ Allen Park (8-1)
Warren Fitzgerald (6-3) @ Redford Thurston (5-4)

Outlook: Riverview received a tough draw, but if they get by Allen Park they should win this district.

State Champion Pick: Orchard Lake St. Mary

  • bn has been on this blog forever. I had a family member play years back and I remember him from then. Anyone ever think bn might not even be real? Maybe bn is how Chris stirs the pot! Ha!! Just kidding.

  • SMCC is a great+good=goot team lol. $ince 2000 they like money...14 of 16 yrs of playoff qualifications, 9 District 8 Regional 7 Semi appearances 3 wins 4 Final appearances 1 win..there's nothing to say! inside job

  • Chris,

    So if his knowledge is second to none and the 5 teams that SMCC must face would all be at the top of the HL - should SMCC just cut it's loses now and forfeit on Friday?

    Didnt SMCC win the league? So the answer to your question is no, obviously.

  • "Could it be that. -bn, is really Son of Swami ??"

    Now that is FUNNY!!

    I have put my name on here before and many know who I am.

    Im just a fan like everyone else. I do happen to have a step son on a team this year.

  • ... and I didnt pick SMCC to be mediocre. I picked them to be 6-3. I am not a homer who thinks SMCC will beat the NE Patriots. I try to be objective. They have surpassed my expectations. I for one am glad they did.

  • Thanks Chris,

    I am lucky enough to have access to HUDL and can watch a ton of games. It keeps me close to home. I dont think any of my comments were aimed at knocking anyone. Im not even sure where that is coming from? Anyway, I always root for the HL teams come playoff time.. even Jefferson :)

  • I will say it. BN is a former coach and player who is on the first line of defense in the Global War on Terror in one of the branches of our armed forces. He has access to HUDL and is a student of the game. Thank you for your service!

  • The blog is about opinions, good, bad, right or wrong. If everything I type needs to be scientific fact, I'm out. bn- your comments seem intelligent most of the time, but there is no need to knock folks when you don't agree.

    If your half way around the globe as Chris says, you haven't seen these teams play either. If your half way around the globe you don't coach either, so are you that bored to just watch random high school football games.?? Just my thoughts.
    Not a doofus, just a fan.

    Good luck to you.

  • So When monroe high has an open house. Trying to sell families on their school that is your form of recruiting.

  • This just in: Playoff teams are pretty good.

    Friday's games can't come soon enough. At least we'll have something new to talk about then...
