Week 9 Picks Part 1

View Comments

• D1 12 scolarships available 40 man roster. D2 10 scolarshps available 40 man roster. Not a a lot of scholarship money available for lacrosse. But everyone says they have a full ride. Lol

• I would agree with the cost factor in soccer. Many club teams up north of our area charge $1500-$2000 to play. That is crazy in my opinion. My son has been on many AAU basketball and travel baseball teams for under a $1000.

  Coaches seem to be out to make money at it. No way it costs that much. We are fortunate to have very cost effective extra curricular sports in Monroe County and Southern Wayne. People are coaching for the love of the sport, not to put a couple $1000 in their pockets.

• I love soccer. Great sport! I don't think they do it right in the USA though. Unfortunately here in the USA it seems to be a rich kid sport. Nothing wrong with that, but you must pay big money to be part of a good club. That eliminates 90% of the population from choosing a sport that basically requires a ball. Look at the MHSAA state champions every year. Teams loaded with club players. One of the best things that happened was in 2012 when Hamtramck Frontier Academy won the the Division 4 State Title. They did it with mostly immigrant kids from all over the world, particularly the middle east, whose first language wasn't English.

  As for watching, I follow the Bundesliga and of course my favorite team is Bayern Munchen. Try giving them a watch sometime. Wonderful soccer. They are part of the UEFA Champions League as well.

  • Lacrosse is where it's at. Fun, fast, and physical. One of the fastest growing sports in the country. Many colleges have a lot of scholarship money for lacrosse. Both men's and women's teams. My son picked it up on a whim and played 3 seasons. We learned it on the fly and we now absolutely LOVE the game.

  • Yeah, but it's SO BOOOOOOOOOORING! I've tried to give it a shot many times. I'm sorry, it's like watching paint dry.

• Soccer is for the kids who didn't make the football team. LOL. Just kidding.

  Chris's sister tried to start a Huron League soccer blog, but there was only 2 bloggers, her and Chris.

  All kidding aside, soccer is a great sport when there are no other sports going on and the power is out.

• With all the trash talk that goes on thru out the year with all the teams, I still hope all the league teams win this week. I'm just as guilty as any one, but win or lose come play off time, I will cheer for all the league teams, u less they play us, then you got to lose.

• Come on up to Owosso. Road trip. Many places to stop at up that way. Bears will buy. LOL

• I guess we all have to remember that "fan" is short for fanatic. Definition of fanatic. : marked by excessive enthusiasm and often intense uncritical devotion.

• Chris Riverview will have you at our game with open arms! AMP Radio will be at the game as well. So come on out.

• 2 cheers not 3.

• Come on out and watch the future of FR football play. You may see some new names to write about!?!?!?
