SMCC rose up to win 1 game. Relax folks. Huron beat them, GI killed them. Milan is predictable. SMCC knows this, Milan doesn't change anything when they play SMCC, so they beat them every year. Just a little film watching.
SMCC has Jefferson yet and LCC, 2 schools that are capable of beating them. As in any other level of football, anything can happen every week. Jefferson is also looking to make the playoffs, SMCC is in the way of that.
I haven't seen any D1 talent in our league this year. Some darn good kids, will definitely go to next level. If any make D1 they will be practice team. Play D2 or D3 where they will get to play.
Stop with the d1 talk. Does it matter d2, NAIA, d3. Getting the opportunity to play at the next level what difference does it make. After watching the game last night there were not any d1 football players out there. If so they would have dominated a small young d6 team. And don't say you had an off night just got dominated on both sides of the ball. Being on a d1 team (walk on) and being able to actually play at that level are 2 different things.
I don't think what Milan did last night would have worked. SMCC was overplaying and they were were not going to run up the middle much. Defensive coordinator did his homework. SMCC coaches showed something last night
Anyone from the GI/AP game know what all the yelling was about by one of the AP coaches? Sitting in the stands for GI it looked like he was screaming at our kids. Another parent said he was yelling at our coaches. Think it was at the end of the 3rd or beginning of the 4th qtr. There was a long discussion between this coach and coach Bodner after the handshake near midfield. GI Parent
Honestly I believe Milan matches up well against GI that was evident in a dominating victory. Speed vs speed Milan is better. GI matches up very well against tight formations that's evident in every game vs a wing t team or a power football team. Now the GI Flatrock game GI won but they gave up 20 pts to a spread team. Same with Huron game. Milan on the other hand killed Huron and Flatrock. But on the other hand when Milan plays those tight packed offenses they struggle. Jefferson game 41-38 CC game last night 30-20.
Great win for the Bucs last night! The Running backs Rodgers,Warlick and Rice with the help of the O-line put it on the Rams all night. The Bucs uses Wood their 3rd Qb of the season and he did very well running and executing the plays all night.. The Bucs Defense shut down the Rams only allowing 1 big play for a TD and giving up very few 1st downs and limiting there passing and shutting down any real run game the Rams had. The Rams 2nd score came on a mis Q on the Bucs special teams. Next season look out for the Bucs if that's the running backs they are going to be using and they are going to have pretty much the whole O-line and defense returning they will be a very good team! I thought the Rams would be better than what we seen last night I was a little disappointed with all the chatter on the blog on how improved they are.
Congrats to SMCC! A great victory! Can't wait watch the film and see if our AP coachs can apply any of it to our game next week! Btw another embarrassing loss! Come on basketball! AP DAS
How about u throw your stellar resume into the coaching ring? I'm sure you are way more qualified. The coaches have only put your some in the wrong position based on your "film review"'lol. Amazing. Your son must be proud as his dad yells obscenities from the stands. What an embarrassment. It's for this reason that a lot of good people leave cosch. Idiot parents.
AP DAS I agree! Bring on BB and indoor track. BTW you might as well draft up that resume – worst case we would be 0-8 at the end of this dreadful season. You have my support. Signed: APPITA
All I meant was Milan lost! What did SMCC do defensively to slow there offense! Our defense should be embarrassed giving up 30+ a game! That's reality!! I know the coachs work there tails off! I'm not in anyway blaming them solely!
#9 Dad — where is your son likely to be playing next year? I want to thank him for years of watching him play. My son tells me your boy is a class act on the field. I wish nothing but good luck for him.
The prayer at the end of the game between Milan and SMCC was incredible to see. Hats off to both schools for doing this. It was so right in so many ways. Much respect for both programs. Parents on both sides should be proud to have their sons play in either program. That's what it is all about! God Bless!
Noticed at the SMCC game that there was a new center. If this move was made at start of year I think that team could be undefeated or just one loss. What a difference. Never understood why that was. Must be some political thing. Either way the line looked very good and Milan is fast as hell. I heard some Milan people saying #9 doesn't get the ball enough but I think the Milan coach plays that card well. He used as a decoy which opens things up the QB and other backs to run. That was just a good game to watch. To bad somebody had to lose. I would have paid triple to see that game.
Speaking of smith, his team has outscored opponents 370-7 the past 6 games 😲😳 Or 400-27 including the smcc game and they dropped 80 tonite. I see a state championship for them
SMCC played a heck of a game tonight!! Milan was a great opponent, they played as a team and they won as a team. We have a young team and I look forward to the future at SMCC. It might have helped that SMCC comes to play when it's the week of Milan!!! Just wondering… Does #9 Dad have any more players coming up to the HS next year?
The best thing about this game is that the two teams get together at the middle of the field after the game. Great HL football game tonight. Fun to watch.
Missed assignments and poor play calling at PW, should've run the ball for 2 at Huron, 3 lost fumbles and lots of penalties at GI. No excuses, but you did ask.
We're not bragging. After reading all of the Milan bragging in the beginning of this week, we just decided to do our talking AFTER the game. We still have a long way to go.
Fortunately #9dad smcc will make playoffs at 5-4 if we lose to LCC I know.. but its because we beat teams like Milan and we're expected to make it to playoffs!
So – anyone on here who thinks that SMCC beating Milan tonight was an upset are new to Huron League football. This is always an emotional and physical game. Tonight no different. Congrats to SMCC on a well played game. Well deserved. I would bet that many of those CHEERING the Falcons on this blog were the same ones who were complaining about the Falcons coaching staff the previous weeks.
I was impressed with the Laplante kid…..too bad that offense doesn't really showcase his talents. He is a really good player. By the way, what is up with the SMCC fans on the Milan sidelines and in the end zone? Enjoy your weekend….back to work on Monday.
I'm not hear to bash Milan but this Smcc team is not the same.. They are young and coming together and Coach Kipf has now got the right players in the right spots.. And not to mention getting healthy doesn't hurt.. Get ready Falcon faithful I can see a deep playoff run in this team..
SMCC was far from healthy tonight, several players sitting out because injuries. Two RBs plus their kicker too. Couple of LBs too. SMCC played the best they have all year. If they played that way all season they would win by double digits every week. Definitely would have beat PW Week 1. Plus they held the best RB in MHSAA history to less than 150 yds rushing…. Jared Smith.
Again you will not hear any excuses from me. I do believe we lost the trenches. To me that's where you have to win. Hats off to SMCC they played a great game. Good luck with the rest of your season. On to next week.
Really good game in Monroe tonight. Credit the Falcons. The 60 yd td to put Milan up a touchdown before half that got called back hurt Milan. Then the trap on 3rd and 30 was a killer. Credit to SMCC. Good team all around. Milan couldn't run inside with the d line cutting them everyplay and there were no lanes. Good game tonight by both teams.
It's time, Milan fans. Please send any and all excuses to the Huron League Blog, c/o Chris Schultz. The absolutely moronic excuse of the night wins a prize. The first place winner will receive a personalized black and red dunce cap, along with the ridicule of the rest of the Huron League. You've got a great team Milan, but you can't beat a team with magic pants and rocket cleats. We may not get any hardware this season, but we soiled yours.
Jefferson had a couple nice drives, but Huron had a couple big plays to make the difference. Big Play on a bad handoff, big play near the end after Jefferson gave it up on downs. That was the difference.
Miller kid pretty good, definitely Huron's go to guy.
BIG week heading up to Jefferon/SMCC game. Playoffs at stake
Some Milan people think "football is life" well life must really stink now!! At least they can tell stories about the night that they lost to the Falcons in 2016.
That's right. And I'm man enough to say we lost. No excuses. And I'm man enough to put my name to what I say. SMCC beat us in the trenches. No excuses here.
No bubbles, we just wanted it out right. Now we learn from our mistakes and move on. I didn't see that loss coming. And I'm not to proud to say I was wrong. Good job to SMCC, Milan will bounce back.
I'm sorry what teams do you play for non league this year? I'm sure it's not on the level of CCs schedule with teams like Pewamo and LCC "cough cough" both state finalist in the past years
Hawks capture prey with their talons, while Falcons use their beaks(Heads). They are both skilled hunters but go about their hunting in different ways. Their differences in size, color and diets set the two apart. Way to go Smcc maybe next year Hawks!
No tie breaker in HL. Co or tri champions in 50% or last 50 seasons (roughly). Both teams still have one more league game to play. Anything can still happen… Milan has AP and GI has Riverview in final week of league play.
One of the losses is to a top-ranked, non-league team. So, if you guys don't finish, we could possibly be right there with you. The fat lady ain't singing quite yet. She may be clearing her throat, but she ain't singing.

Don't know about that but my son said he has never been swore and cussed at so much on the field ever by another team!
Honestly I believe Milan matches up well against GI that was evident in a dominating victory. Speed vs speed Milan is better. GI matches up very well against tight formations that's evident in every game vs a wing t team or a power football team. Now the GI Flatrock game GI won but they gave up 20 pts to a spread team.

If view played the same way they did last night all year they'd probably have 2 more wins. They played amazing last night. Go bucs
View hopeful
Chris do you think anyone in this league has D1 potential???? Gary thoughts??

That was just a good game to watch. To bad somebody had to lose. I would have paid triple to see that game.
The center Davis Brinkmaier just got back from injury. He was a factor.
That strategy didn't work last night did it? Sometimes just sometimes you have to give #9 the ball more than 6 times especially when you are losing.
David was dressed for every game. He wasn't just back and has been ready to play since Pewamo Westphalia.
Sovey could miss the last 2 games of the season. If he does I gotta say they're really tough over at Jefferson when it comes to discipline
Smcc will beat Jefferson no doubt and 5-4 6-3 will get them in playoffs.
Jefferson will come to play vs SMCC. Look back to 2012. Same scenario.
Sic Transit Gloria
Correction 2011
Would the DB's please go to sleep now!
He is a DII player.
Jared Smith had 23 carries for 218 yards and 2 TD's against SMCC.

No I don't. My baby days are done. I help our youth football. It's fun and growing.
The best thing about this game is that the two teams get together at the middle of the field after the game. Great HL football game tonight. Fun to watch.

Wow! Heck of a game SMCC. How the hell did you lose 3 games. Congrats!
-Milan Fan
Missed assignments and poor play calling at PW, should've run the ball for 2 at Huron, 3 lost fumbles and lots of penalties at GI. No excuses, but you did ask.
Stay humble SMCC great win tonight no need to brag. Don't forget you lost to Huron and Grosse Ile. You have something to build on now.
We're not bragging. After reading all of the Milan bragging in the beginning of this week, we just decided to do our talking AFTER the game. We still have a long way to go.
SMCC better win against Jefferson, or they risk a 4-5 record. Otherwise, this Milan win was as close as you'll come to the playoffs.
#9 dad seems pretty classy to me. Nothin wrong with being proud of your son and his team
I'm very proud. Not ashamed at all. We lost. More football to play.
Fortunately #9dad smcc will make playoffs at 5-4 if we lose to LCC I know.. but its because we beat teams like Milan and we're expected to make it to playoffs!
If you win out. You have another league game.
Just need 5 wins. But Jefferson will come to play.
What if Jefferson beats you though? Your high on hog right now, your thinking your already in.
You can't catch SMCC cause the rabbits done died.
Keep the comments coming people. I will be up late cooking a couple of pork shoulders on the smoker/grill. I will get them posted as they come in.
The comments, or the pork shoulders?
Smcc just layed the smack down on Milan. Entire team win from the punter pinning Milan within the ten and big hits on defense.
30-20 is not a smack down.
The game wasn't as close as the score
I think Gary is purposely hiding, so as not to appear to gloat.
Unfortunately I cannot make breakfast tomorrow morning. I think at least one of the guys will be there. 8 AM farmers café in Carlton
Good game SMCC. You beat us fair and square.

Same guys have been standing there for 10+ years. Great fans. Alumni runs thick at CC.
Good times.

Because smcc's kicker is very important, they don't kick ? Lol
If its not zone what is it dolt
Leave no doubt-make sure that they remember the night they played the FALCONS.
LET US PREY!!
OH power too
Again you will not hear any excuses from me. I do believe we lost the trenches. To me that's where you have to win. Hats off to SMCC they played a great game. Good luck with the rest of your season. On to next week.
Any given Friday…..for all HL teams!

We are in the play offs, are you?
No bubbles, we just wanted it out right. Now we learn from our mistakes and move on. I didn't see that loss coming. And I'm not to proud to say I was wrong. Good job to SMCC, Milan will bounce back.
As a matter of fact, we are in the playoffs #9 Dad. GO RED DEVILS!!

Congrats to SMCC. Wish I had the chance to see this game for myself.
Milan can't play on wet fields but yet will cry themselves to sleep tonight
Told you all along Milan has played no one till tonight and is over rated! They will be out early in playoffs as well
GREAT GAME CC FALCONS !!!!!
I'm sending out a bunch of Xs and Os to SMCC tonight for beating Milan!
-GI mom
The grass was the same height for both teams, and both teams played under the same lights!
I told you Smcc is the team to beat…
Falcons might have won but won't finish their season with any hardware!
Yeah. But yours is dented.
Gary must be a homer
Hawks capture prey with their talons, while Falcons use their beaks(Heads). They are both skilled hunters but go about their hunting in different ways. Their differences in size, color and diets set the two apart. Way to go Smcc maybe next year Hawks!
No tie breaker in HL.
Co or tri champions in 50% or last 50 seasons (roughly).
Both teams still have one more league game to play. Anything can still happen…
Milan has AP and GI has Riverview in final week of league play.
Price!!! Watch out for the trap!!!!!
Milan could not get it done!
milan defense had no passion. offense had no passing game.
Milan fan.
Well, well, well, the talk was just that-talk. Falcons proved on the field that they ARE the better TEAM.
I take it Milan didn't put 50 on them?

#Inside Job. You other HL coaches need to take a page out of Smcc book on how to beat a zone offense. You guys are sleeping..
It's not zone you dolt
The only reason smcc won was because they wore their magical pants 😂😂 Jk let us prey (on rabbits especially.)
There's a party on the island tonight. RED DEVILS=CHAMPS.
#Inside Job. I told you Smcc is the team to best…
Actually your not. You have 3 losses. We just didn't get it done. It's the part of FOOTBALL that teaches you about disappointment, and that IS LIFE.
One of the losses is to a top-ranked, non-league team. So, if you guys don't finish, we could possibly be right there with you. The fat lady ain't singing quite yet. She may be clearing her throat, but she ain't singing.
