Grosse Ile @ Huron

View Comments

• The 2-0 Chiefs have much to prove with the narrow wins over a struggling Avondale squad and Airport. Huron's defense is the key to their success. Limit the Devils to 21 or less and they have a chance.
  GI is 2-0 beating the teams on their schedule. Most predictions had them losing or winning by narrow margins. The fact is that they rolled both Parma and Jefferson, dominating all three phases of the game.
  Referencing prior year performances to rate the current team is of little value in High School Football.
  SMCC is the exception to history value in the Huron League.
  5 year records for the 2-0 teams:
  Milan 1-8,10-1,10-1,4-5,9-3
  Huron 4-5,3-6,5-4,11-2,5-5
  Grosse Ile 10-3,10-2,5-4,7-3,4-5
  Barring upsets of Milan, SMCC or Airport, the outcome of the Huron GI game will provide the most information on the early state of the Huron League. A blowout either way establish a King of Hill going into week 4 and a close game will keep everything much as it was in week 3.
  GI wins this one 35-20.

• GI should win this one easily.

• Watched the Jefferson game. GI is a solid team, but please believe me that they are nothing more than that. They've beat two below average teams. The next 3 weeks the have SMCC, Huron,and Milan. If they win 2 of those 3 then you can start talking. They were supposed to be decent last year to. I remember traveling to The island for the homecoming Milan game. Left at halftime when Milan was up 41-0. Beat SMCC and Milan and talk all you want to.

• #9 dad would make a great politician.

• Seems like the #9 dad has little to no love for my Red Devils, but I have a hunch that your tune may change after you see the scores tomorrow night.

  • Lol I have no beef with GI. I'm not sold on GI yet. Huron has a chip on their shoulder and I have always been partial to Huron do to Matt, I know he is gone now but that kid is and will always be an awesome kid. I tell you what, if GI beats Huron by the spread of 21 then I will pick GI every game from here on out except against Milan. I do wish GI the best of luck.

• Man, does that dude write for Hallmark? If he don't he should. That was pretty good. I still think GI loses. Sure they might win, but giving who they played so far it's not a done deal. Good luck to both teams.

• Isn't that just precious.

• That was really nice. Kind of made me shed a little tear.

  • It needs soft background music.

•   The GI class of 2017 is a special geoup of young men.  There are 12 seniors,  each of them with a special set of skills and an equally special character.   Many of them have walked on the field together for the past 10 years through heat, rain (remember Woodhaven?) and even ice.  They've stuck together through the illness of a teammate,  they've celebrated junior league championships together and I've never heard one of them blame another for a loss- one player's mistake becomes the mistake of them all.  They fall together and they rise together. And when they rise,  it's an amazing sight to behold.  These young men have heart... miles and miles of it. In my 4 years watching GI play Friday night football,  this team is by far the most tight-knit group yet. I promise you they will stick together until the last snap of the season,  not just because they want to win,  but because not one of them would want to let one of their teammates or coaches down. They will run as hard and as fast as they can,  they line will become an impenetrable wall and they will fight together as one unit because that's how these men roll.    Many of the proudest moments of my life have been spent while sitting in the stands,  watching them play,  and for that,  Devils,  I thank you.   

     I have just one last request,  if I may : continue to stand as one,  stay focused,  kick some tail and bring us home a league title!  FIRE UP BIG RED
