Huron League Thoughts and Questions

• Got it. Thank you.

  The poster is picking Ida to beat Ithaca this year. Thus, the narrative would be Ithaca's last two losses over the past 100 games would be to SMCC (already happened) and Ida (projected).

• Heard the news about Baas. Sounds like the AP parents should try their hands at coaching. Always is the case in recent HS sports. My coaches would be turning in their graves at how wimpy today's kids have become. It's always easier to make the right play calls from row 14 in the bleachers. It should tell you something if AP's JV guys aren't interested in the job and Might explain why Redmond got out of dodge. Sounds like deeper rooted problems in Carleton

  • Airport grad here, well said, and I never thought I'd see the day it happened at my school. I left for a while and came back home and it's not the same school nor does it have the same support that I knew when I went to school there. Still hoping things get better.

• Awesome, thanks

• I have heard from numerous sources that the Flat Rock D coordinator will be the next Huron coach. He currently works for Huron High School.

• Nice post. But when did Ida ever beat Ithaca? Or play them for that matter?

• D1 - Cass will defeat Saline this weekend and make their way to the finals but Catholic Central seems unbeatable this year. Went into the year looking at their tough schedule as a way to prepare them for this playoff run. Tested teams win in the playoffs.
  D2 - WLW is the favorite in my mind but would not be surprised if Lowell gives them a game. I believe Bedford will trip up MLK but get slaughtered by the Red Arrows. White is the Mr. football in my mind and theyll ride him, although Princeton commit QB will be the unsung hero, along with that strong OL.
  D3 - OLSM is 5-4 but the best team in 3. GRC and Muskegon will play them in the final. Pimpleton is a stud but Josh ross is an uber-stud. Eaglets win it w/ the least wins by a state champ in MHSAA history
  D4 - Winner of the RR-Country day game plays GRCC in the finals and i think it'll be Rouge. Grissom is a star and Rouge might blow em out, barring the performance of a lifetime from Yellowjacket defense. Rouge wins it at FF in a close game
  D5 - Big shake up w/ Ithaca in this division. Never been the same power they were before the 2014 season leading up to the loss to my alma mater, SMCC. Watch out for Menominee coming from up North in this one, along w/ traditional power West Catholic. Good bet is on Ithaca but I'm going to make my big underdog pick in D5. Ida is a power-T offense led by stud running back Nick Levicki and Bryan Laux. Brandon Suydam, Kyle Parran and the OL are not the biggest but block better for this offense than a coach could dream of. Laux had 8 TFL in a playoff game last year as a DE. Ida beats WC in the semis and Ithaca in the finals. Ithaca's two losses in the last 100 games come to teams within 5 miles of each other in SMCC and Ida. Go bluestreaks.
  D6 - With Ithaca gone, D6 is wide open. Traditional powers such as Clinton, Montague, Schoolcraft and Monroe SMCC are out of the way and newcomers Napoleon, Glen Lake, and Detroit Central get a crack at the title. Lumen Christi is the favorite and I can't see anyone tacking them on their way to the title. They had their test with Schoolcraft, with a 37-34 W. JLC takes D6.
  D7 - I watched PW defeat Monroe SMCC in a big week 1 game in PW... offense and special teams is solid and have to have them as the favorite in a weak division 7. New Lothrop is strong after 3-4 years on the skid. Loyola vs. PW for the title and I dont know if Jared Smith and the country boys can run by Kailen Adams and that athletic Loyola defense. I say it's a toss-up but I'll go with Pewamo-Westphalia to cap off one of the best individual careers in state history by Jared Smith.
  D8 - Muskegon CC is almost more of a lock than Hillary was on Tuesday night (too soon?) but the green and gold won't blown this one. Whiteford, led by QB Tommy Eitinear and RB Jesse Kiefer face MCC at ford Field in a blowout by Muskegon CC.

• Can anyone please tell me if they have the list of the all-league team that the coaches create? Does it go into any newspapers? We always find out the members of our team at awards night, but I would love to see the complete list of the entire league and don't recall ever seeing one. Thanks!

• Huron coaches knew about the house cleaning a few weeks into the season. Also heard rumors that Huron's AD might be gone too, interesting to see what happens in New Boston. Riverview will be the favorite to win the HL next year, with CC being the second favorite. Can't wait until next August!
