AP not seeing a difference than years past just a few breaks you didn't get the last few years put the pads on and play what happens happens
5:47 would love that we'll be at Moose Mcgregors at five before the ge come up I'll buy you a shot and a beer we'll have a riot. #bucnation tailgates with the best of th
Actually nope was a left fielder at GI this dude from Jefferson used to light my ass up when I did pitch got to Western couldn't hit shit but liked my arm turned me into a pitcher
Chris I didn't mean to stop the negative stories just wanted more positive cause I as a former as you were a Ref I find myself always judging the officials also but you can only grin and bare it!! There isn't anything we can do as parents and grandparents but go 1,2,3,4,5,Forget about it!! (Tiger Woods solution after he made a bad shot) lol
man had to go thru all that just to hear about his college ball days? If JD went to Michigan that would not have taken no time! Congrats on your college ball days! Bet you where one of the best in high school!
JD – it's all good. Maybe I'll get to shake hands with you this week! Good luck bucs!
Moving on! Passion has always been my problem, sorry for the whining! I pitched for WMU pitchers are the biggest whiners. Big game this week should be the game of the week. I’m off to complainers rehab!
Sorry people about this comment, you have to remember that fan is short for fanatic and if that fan happens to be a parent well then it's a whole different thing. No offense to everyone out there, just kind of seen it all over the years as a coach, as an athletic director, as a parent myself and even as an official way back as a young adult. Doesn't make people bad, it just makes them fanatical that's all.
Chris and Gary! You are doing a great job on this Blog Please keep on doing it! I'm a proud papa and I look forward to reading all of your stories every week and keeping up with all of the games from the night before! I really enjoy all of the positive stories about the kids! but really don't enjoy the negatives about the Refs! I refereed for fifteen years back in the day! The stories are all different but interesting all the same! But a few more positive things about the kids would be really appreciated from an old fart!!!
Just to answer 2:23 He is! He will be88 on opening day! Kind of funny that I said that's funny stuff. Because my dad always has said NO FUNNY STUFF YOU HEAR! Every time I went out as a kid. BOYS NO FUNNY STUFF YOU HEAR?!
Calls are missed in games just like blocks and tackles are missed in games. It's just a fact of every game. Bad calls have a tendency to even out over the course of the season. Can't worry about one game.
2.00 that's hilarious, your dad sounds like one of the good ones.
It's a damn shame, we would've won that game last night if it wasn't for the refs.
-Jefferson Fan
JD, so really think strongly enough to post repeatedly that high school officials really care who wins? Been doing it for 25+ years and have never experienced that belief once. Some officials are bad, some miss calls, some have no clue, but I take exception to a fan/dad claiming favoritism. Maybe it's just because of the hue of the glasses you watch the game with?
@ Chris: Good point if he was out. Injuries are part of the game for sure. Hope my point of acknowledging Foor was not lost in misinterpretation.
– Huron fan
1:20 that's funny stuff! I grew up over in the old SEC Milan Saline Lincoln Dexter Chelsea Etc. Any how my dad was a ref for years always over this way GI Jefferson Airport Huron etc watched a lot of that football in my grade school days. Hearing people say my dad way blind did not know rules etc. Then see me with the refs on way out guys would start small talk. Offer to take us duck or goose hunting. We never went Dad always said there sucking up or planning to shoot me! Kind of why he never did the game out our way so not to be accused of funny calls for the guys who put me in deer blinds in Milan Lincoln area.
It could be argued that Airport dodged a bullet with Tayeb being out. He's flat rocks best defensive player among many. One of their best lineman, and he kicks and punts.
Hey I don't mind getting hammered on. You cowards that go anonymous, I'm all for a hard fought game fair game both ways and mistakes will be made. But when I see some of the officiating I saw last night and then at half time I see the Umpire and a guy in a Jefferson sweatshirt yucking it up and backslapping each other which I commented to them "that's about right" and they immediately broke apart. No sign of guilt there. It pissed me off. Just so you don't think I'm making stuff up or being a bad sport I hashtagged on the FNvictors twitter feed and mine @jddemare the pass interference call and that was only one of many bad calls. Hey we won great, but like someone said and having played for GI, nobody can say there's no home cooking on the island. there should be no local refs officiating home town games. You want to say something to me be a man put your name and school. check out twitter. Thanks Chris and Gary for giving the forum to have a debate. PS Well said Adam I agree with you whole heartedly.
Flat Rock dodged a bullet if Foor was out. One if the best two-way players in the league. Great win though!
– Huron fan
It is interesting to see Airport fans go from irrational exuberance to turning on the coach and program. It is also interesting to see Riverview fans go from turning in the coach and program (after week 2) to irrational exuberance. Shallow folks….
Doesn't help that Airports Quarterback has to run to the sideline after every play to get the next play from the coach. To much time is wasted in doing that and most importantly it tires him out even more. What happen to wristbands and signaling the call in?
It's obvious that there are only 4 super stars on the AP team that is costing them wins. The only way to win against AP is just run it to the outside. The stars seem to think they have to be in every play if only they would stay in their gap and contain the outside the defense would be great. FR burned us no less than 7 times with a screen pass across the field and them running down the sideline. As far as offense they need bigger kids that can hold a block longer than 2sec. Tanner is a great quarterback but he just has no time to find a receiver to throw to. That kid is taking a beating trying to keep us in the game I hope he doesn't get hurt. At the beginning of the season we seen a lot of different plays now we are back to the same old AP play book. We really need to change things up these last 3 games and win out or it will be the same old AP just new faces at the helm.
@11:03 pm – I love when people criticize Chris and Gary for how they run THEIR blog. You have the opportunity to start your own blog…so do it.
My guess is you are the same person(s) who always: 1. Complains about coaching/play calling 2. Complains about who is on the field, when it is not your kid. 3. Is trying to re-live your glory days which may not have been so glorious.
Chris and Gary, thanks for all of the work and congrats on the great month.
If Duffy doesn't figure it out, a nasty twitter account will likely follow. Stay classy.
11:56 play calling was definitely a problem last nite! Foor out Dyl gets like next to 0 touchs????O line was moving the ball up the middle in our only sustained drive! We gave up on it in second half and ran the same dozen plays over and over and over! I'm confident the Duffy boys will figure it out! SMCC next week!
Proud of my Big Reds !!!! They go out every week and give it all they got, despite the injuries that have plagued them!!! I love all of these boys and admire their heart and passion!!! I do have faith that they can win the last 3 and make it into the playoffs !! I know some people think Hines can't get it done because he isn't a "true" quarterback, but that kid is a true athlete and has stepped up when Hoskins needed him to the most !!! And he's been doing one heck of s job!!!! Good Luck to the Big Reds the rest of the season!!!!
Sounds like some Flatrock love for them Chiefs!
Huron you better go out and beat riverview next week or so help me God we will take it out on you even harder week 8! Go Rams!! Great job tonight. Defense shut it down even without their best player Sameer Tayeb!
Hamilton and Simons came up big tonight for the Rams on defense! Solid D all night from the Rams!
Atleast JD has the gusts to post a name the rest of you simply cowards.
Whoever said riverview runs the T better than Smcc, I'm sorry but idk what you were thinking, nobody runs the POWER T better than Smcc, playoff push these last 3 games coming!!!
Riverview! Ground and Pound Baby!
Shut up or go home. See ya next week.
You can bring a defenseman, but they better make the tackle. There is a lot of load behind the Riverview ball carriers. Not playing around, focused since the end of last season.
next week's game of the week. Riverview VS Huron for all the marbles.
@1012… Of course play calling is the problem at Airport… Here we go again, you've got to be kidding me people…
SMCC defense played great. Didn't give up any, GI scored on a scoop n score. Came out clutch with 2 or 3 red zone stops.
JD = former Airport parents. 🙄
They are on the sidelines coaching AP must have 20-25 coaches on their sideline literally they almost had as many coaches as players
Where are all the Airport parents at? Gary picks them and we get crickets? I thought he hated them?
Once again matchups are key when it comes to Flat Rock. Caught Milan too early, I wish they would have been able to stay healthy with so few numbers but they are what they are now. It is too bad they had the let down against GI because I fully expect them to win a tough one against Jefferson and control Huron similar to last year. Go Chiefs next week
Heard huron saved all the best for the view. The real chiefs will be there fri. My prediction huron 1024-the view a big fat 0
Buddy? Spoke to the guy for the first time in my life back in late August. We realized that we graduated the same year and played ball against each other. GI beat the FR Homeboys that year (1983) 12-6. I happened to throw a 67 yard TD pass that game for our only points.
A lot of excitement in Riverview. The kids control their own destiny for the Huron League. Wow, what a big game next week vs Huron. It's been a long time since the Pirates have had an opportunity at the league this late in the season. I was very surprised, after watching Jefferson tonight, that they are winless. They started the game on D with a 3 and out and made View punt which has been rare. Their QB #2 was very fast. They moved the ball well and 21 was impressive. #2 had a great QB draw right before half and they never went back to it. Views line was impressive once again, however it seemed like they may have been hungover a bit at the start from all the blog love they are getting. Disagree that the refs were bad, there's a fine line, imo, between playing hard to the whistle and being unsportsmanlike. Both flags were probably legit. Jefferson was outmatched tonight but I predict a huge season for them next season and possible wins in any of their next 3. Hopefully view stays humble and takes their best game out to Huron for one of the biggest games in SE Michigan. Go Bucs!
Flat Rock played good don't get me wrong but Airport is terrible right now. Had a good chance to start pounding #2 a lot and for some reason they quit giving him the ball. Play calling, player personnel, defense. You name it!!!! It's bad. Now we go up against the T again at Navarre Field next week. Might finish 3-6. Certainly hope not but I have to be realistic with what I see.
JD is Chris's buddy Surprised you got a "negative" post through.
Whoever this JD character is must not have been watching the game
AP defense was not good FR steamed rolled them score should have been 35-7 inside 10 yard line twice and FR turned ball over. FR outcoached them in every phase of game. FR had 400 plus total offense! Jet defense needs tons of work
Huron has trouble stopping the wing. SMCC tore them up, Airport almost did with whatever type wing they try to run, and Riverwiew now has a wing type offense. Unless Huron uses the approach of one blogger to continually move the D around so the D doesn't know who to block, then, YES, it will be a long night for Huron. Hopefully Coach Speiss has learned since his near loss at AP and his loss verse SMCC.
GO CHEIFS !!
FR #2 Harbin had a great game.
Airport had a nice drive in the first quarter that led to a TD and nearly scored with about 4 minutes left, other than that couldn't get much going. Credit Flat Rock's defense for shutting them down. EM
Refs were not that bad Riverview. Come on, they threw maybe 6 flags the whole game. They did miss a few things, but they were letting the boys play. I was on chain gang and it was ridiculous how bad you guys were screaming about the refs. Your coaches were embarrassed. They hardly complained at all. The coaches are right there, if they aren't complaining, you shouldn't be. Get over it. You were winning the whole game, what do you want?? I have seen far worse officiated games than that.
10:00, that is one weird statement, not sure what to think of that.
Flat Rock rooting for Huron next week. Gets Riverview to 2 losses in league. If Flat Rock can take care of business with Jefferson, would set up showdown with Huron.
Flat Rock was in red zone twice and came away with no points in second half. Airport couldn't sustain any drives except one all night.
What the hell did I just read about SMCC?
Don't think they played for a hug. It was the jug. Maybe it was just a basketball thing. I thought it was football too though.
Who does Chris think he is putting that Cranbrook/Gabriel Richard score up there?
I hope Huron has enjoyed it's brief stay in first place, because a locomotive is headed for New Boston next Friday night. A locomotive with a Pirate leading the way. CHOO CHOO!!!
Very nice game by Flat Rock Rams. Awesome homecoming win. The Duffy boys (Athletic Director) and his brother that he hired(Coach Jim Duffy) saw their team play hard but better team won tonight. Both teams still have a shot at playoffs.Daniels for Flat Rock and Dyl for Airport playing great this year. Question for Friday Night Victors…..Where is the Hug these teams used to play for?

Was the FR AP game closer than it appeared? Comment was made about 2 red zone turnovers. Wondering if yardage disparity will be huge again in favor of the offense going against AP. 533 yards for View. Similar numbers for 2-4 Dundee.
No score on the riverview/Jefferson game?
My thoughts on the Grosse Ile Vs. SMCofC game
The dark days are over for CC, the daring desires of the red devils have been contained another day. This is the beginning of an explosion for cc, dynamite has been ignited and the world can do nothing but watch the flames of the Huron League rise higher and higher until smcc has reached and gained another state title.
This year has only reveale the beginning. This sophomore class will rise up and join the legions of legends. People will watch in wonder. Audiences will attend awesome acrobatical awesomeness with the combo of Gus Flint and Sam Cousino. No one will stand a chance, except the teams they play.
Huron will make playoffs too, good job Huron.
-Just a Huron League Fan
Hard to win trying to pass the whole second half. Nothing against Flat Rock's defense. They were physical all night. But how many times can you throw a flare pass to the running back and about every pass play is roll to the right. Not hard to defend.
riverview runs the same as SMCC. With better players. Huron is in for a great disappointment.
Flat Rock "trick plays" wins again. Great team win tonight. #2 made some great plays and Hamilton on defense couldn't be blocked.
View-Huron next week. League Title
Riverview by 20 over Huron.
Hate to say this but Airport might not win another game.
AP boys always play with heart and integrity
As predicted AP loses again as schedule gets "real".
Riverview?
CHEIFS 30-22 milan final 5-1!!!
FR wins. 21-7
Huron punches it over the goal line to go by 14 with just over a minute to go. With offense a bit tough to come by tonight for Milan, it's going to be very tough to claw back into this one.
37-14 #bucnation
28-21 carlson in a nailbiter final !
Jefferson hanging over the ball offsides no call Bucs break away for a 45 yard run called back for chop block ridiculous Bucs overcome the worst officiating I've seen in 15 years of coaching!
Flat rock turnovers!!! Could be 35-7… 2 red zone turnovers!!!!
Ida 67, Erie Mason 0 final.
Milan used the shovel pass a few times to good effect on their last scoring drive. 23-16 Huron with 5:30 to go.
Actually 8:20 Airport's D has been decent. The offense is getting shut down by Flat Rock's D. EM

Easy 8:29 I've been nothing but humble about the Bucs chances. If you can't admit the officiating was one sided in the first half you've never played the game "anonymous"
25-8 #bucnation
Shut up about the refereeing. From all your other posts, the Bucs can't lose. You'll be fine….
Halftime Jefferson View, View 17 Jeff 8, officiating worst I've seen. They are doing everything they can to make sure Jeff wins!
AP d struuugggling (Joe Namath) again. Fire Mossburg! Duh
FR looking good. Only so many miracles can happen for AP. I think they've used em up!
Go Rams
FR defense shutting down Jeska. Been sacked and had 3 passes knocked down. Rams all around game is shining tonight.
Jefferson scores 2 seconds left in half because of 2 personal fouls. Riverview has this.
Dundee7
Blissfield 14

Mason's defense can't stop anyone no matter if they punt or not. So really doesn't mater.
Ida is handing Erie Mason an old fashioned butt whipping.

Ida 24, Erie Mason 0 2nd qtr.
Huron strikes back immediately. The Chiefs are back on top 14-8. End of 1st.
Tristen Hines runs it in for the TD and the 2 point conversion. Milan now leads 8-7.
