Huron League Thoughts and Questions

View Comments

• Jefferson played very well and Sovey is a beast, but some very questionable calls that did change the game, like it or not. And no.... Jefferson did not stop Milan once that night. The penalties making it 2nd and 25 and 3rd and 20 had a little something to do with that. And Jefferson did not have one penalty on offense. Even the last score when Furteny was getting tackled to the ground and bear hugged multiple times.Thats on film too. Milan hasn't had more than 3 penalties in a game all season. Is it a coincidence that they had 12-15 in the Jefferson game? If we see you again at Milan, I think the story might be a little different. I will say this. Milan had a let down in the second half being up 21-7 and Jefferson took advantage. Credit to them. I really hope Jefferson gets in regardless if they play Milan or not. It's good for the league. They will have their hands full against SMCC. Not sure about Huron, but they do play pretty good defense. That games a toss up. Good luck to Jefferson. Tough kids and a ton of heart shown after starting 1-3. Another thought.... What would Jeffrson do if they played GI again?

• 12:14, I also watched the game and did not see it that way. The penalties were legit. Sorry you guys don't believe that, but they are on film. We hung with you until the fourth quarter. We stopped you guys a couple times. Not many, but it did happen. We had a let down after you stopped us on 4th down, you guys capitalized quickly to take a 2 TD lead, but we came right back and scored in less than 90 seconds and tried onside kick.

  It was a great game, Jefferson almost had you guys. If we would have made that 4th down, we may have went down and scored and ran the clock out. At that point it was 29-23 with 4:00 or so to go. I know you all blame the refs and try to separate yourselves from us. How bout some credit. As I said a few weeks back. You won the game, do you really have to complain because it was close.

  GO BEARS !!!

  • You guys are a good team. There was some bad calls, but that part of football sometimes. Hope you guys make the playoffs.

• Jefferson and the coaching staff will have their hands full these next 3 games. Hope they keep it going and keep up the momentum they have but it might be tough !!

• The Milan Jefferson game was a good hard fought game. Milan got jobbed on a handful of penalties. I would love to see them play Jefferson in the playoffs as that might keep River Rouge out of the district. Milan would win the game by at least 4 scores, like they should of last time if the refs didn't call back 3 touchdowns. Jefferson didn't stop Milan one time in that game. When Jefferson took the lead, Milan scored two touchdowns within 3 minutes and about 7 plays. Just one mans opinion who watched the game.

• The tireless argument that the league is down.

• I don't know if the 50-50 winner at the Milan game. Having worked in the press box, I didn't see anyone come up and claim it.

• Yes it was. There was even an offensive face mask penalty that called back the biggest run of the night. Those boys are fast, but they definitely get a lot of questionable blocking. Goes with the territory. I'm sure many teams have a few tricks to freeing up their RB's and QB's.

  • Sometimes when you're dominating the guy across from you, it can appear like a hold, when in fact it's just planting someone in the ground. Milan is very physical, so I'm sure that's the case.

• Airport JV

• Just curious about the officiating comments by Milan fans at Jefferson a few weeks back...was it a lot of offensive holding calls nullifying big runs that was the problem?

  • Water under the bridge!

• Obviously, a good JV does not signify how good varsity will be. We all want to have positive winning teams at each level. But I don't think the Varsity teams success should be sacrificed to make the JV better. Right now Varsity is 1-5 and JV is 6-0. Perhaps they should move a few kids up to get some experience on Varsity. Could only benefit them for next year. If JV coach insists on hanging onto them at this point to help his record, that is not in the best interest of the program.

  Everybody else has 10th graders on Varsity.

  • Once again!!!! AP has 2 sophomores on varsity that start at least 1 way and are on special teams!!!! #24 and #61. Other sophomores have been asked of late and have decided to decline! That is there and there parents decision to make. Not a coachs!!
