Great idea.
The Milan AD tries to hire 7 officials per game sometimes only 6 shows up but is still able to give you better coverage. The little extra money it causes should be easy to recover!!
Actually looked up the mechanics and was totally wrong. Only valid reason was the one Chris pointed out – the officials lined up wrong.
Been a few years since I hung up the stripes, but my recollection was that the headlinesman can stay on the line for a FG attempt mostly when a fake is expected. When that happens, the referee is responsible for verifying that the ball is within the non-occupied goalpost. This is the normal mechanic for a crew of less than 5. Regardless, whether it was a communication or poor refereeing, it doesn't appear that the FG was covered properly.
So AP can't get 1/2 yard up front then yes the better team won in the trenches when it mattered going for 2 in that part of game was bad choice by AP staff but they chose to go in FB 1/2 yard is nothing was QB sneak called?
Oh haha my bad Chris. EM
Atherton's game winner was dead center and could have been good 45+ yards. Kid has a leg on him.
EM, were talking about Airports's FG just before halftime.
Really? I didn't have a good view and couldn't tell if the kick was good from where I was sitting. If that's true (and I'm not saying it is) Merry Christmas Huron from the officiating crew. EM
Monroe News game summary cut off for Rams game. Only showed Milan scores! Rams will play hard each week. Character guys that work hard led by Jacob Dotson. Great game for Airport Jet Steffen Dyl with 126 yards and touchdown. Inexperienced Airport coach would probably go for 1 point next time which would have made Huron needing 3 scores. Finally, your best new coach question at beginning of season would have to go to Jack Giarmo right now! Thanks for the Huron League Blog again this season Chris and company!!!
The officials lined up wrong on the attempt. Only one official under the goal post. Not sure where the other one was. The only one was lined up under the right upright. The kicked sailed toward the left upright. I thought it was wide left, but the official under the right upright called it good. So
Lol thats what im hearing.
You missed it? Well. There you have it. Right from the kickers mouth.
So what is everyones thoughts on that fieldgoal at huron last night from ap i heard alot of ppl saying it was no good. I missed it
It seems like the Falcons were very good the first 6/ quarters of the year and have been bad the next six what happened?
SMCCs offense shows exactly why if you don't have a dominant offensive line and a QB that can't get the edge there easy to stop !!! That's the facts …no excuses, that is there problem…it's only going to get worse for them this year …maybe win another game …
It was a great game. Airport came to play and just came up a little short. I understand why they went for two, but we all have the chance to armchair QB that game and the coachs have to make a spot decision. Personally, as much as they were up, I think I would've just kicked it too, and let my defense do their job. However, just when you thought they would stop Huron for real, they came with offense. Airport may have lost by one, but I have to think they are there in the playoffs at the end. We'll see….
@6:27 – way to keep it classy there. I'll leave it at that because you are doing a great job on your own making yourself look foolish.
HURON's Jr football program builds talent all over the league. And I think it is now showing! Great coaches parents and community's
Here is the situation for Airport going for two instead of kicking the extra point. Airport lines up to kick the extra point and Huron is offsides, ball gets moved up. They line up again to kick, Huron is offsides, ball gets moved up a little bit more. Then Airport decides to try for 2. Second guess all you want but you would hope you get in from the half foot line. Both teams played well, great game, Huron made one more play than Airport.
Same schemes at AP. Same old wing T stuff. Just players who are a year older, stronger and more mature from what i saw (Ie Foor, Bondy, Jeska and dyl). Do you AP parents really think the new staff is making bigger holes in the line? Lol. Parents just love to say coaching versus their boys were just that, boys. We saw this for many many years at Huron too. Anyone who has played HS sports knows the difference between year 1 and year 2 on varsity. . And the league is much more even this year. GI way down. Jefferson way down. CC way down. This opens the door to everyone having a shot to win a few games. Talk about coaching changes w a new offense or actual changes requiring brain power.
Go chiefs
A couple of big question marks in the Huron League right now:
-Is Airport very good or was Huron a bit overrated?
-Is Milan a hands-down favorite or have just matched up well so far?
-Can SMCC get another win other than Jefferson and Grosse Ile?
-Who looks best of these three teams fighting for "2nd" place right now: Huron, Riverview, Flat Rock?
We are going to find out a lot next week.
Real classy 6:27! either a player or student, because any sensible adult would not come out with statements like that! Yes, Huron won the game, but they know they were in a battle and are breathing a big sigh of relief this morning. Can second guess the 2 pt all day long, but they were on the 1 yard line and probably many coaches try to punch it in. With that said, there were several other key plays down the stretch that didn't go AP way and went your way. Congrats on the win, but lets try to have a little more humility.
You know i didn't really talk about it after the game last week but man let me tell you. Its not trick plays. Flat Rock is for real and is good enough to possibly win out.
View faithful
Yeah 6:27 I bet your the guy that said Huron would win by 35. EM
Great game at Huron last night. Airport showed they will be a tough out against anybody. Credit to Huron for not panicking when they got down. Very good chance Huron wins it's first league title, they are big fast and a deep football team. Also a good chance Airport is a playoff team, alot of football left I know. EM
we earned respect blah blah blah you lost again 7 points last year after you dominated first half just like this year 1/2 time adjustments? New staff same result and we are minus one of our best players. Instead of worrying about find 4 more see you week 10 worry about today and maybe get the HC a 2 point cheat sheet?
We had 2 well coached and good football teams over here in Milan tonight! The game went back and forth thru out the entire game!!This one wasn't decided until there was under 2 minutes left in the game! Good ole smash mouth football at it's finest! They both had long kickoff returns, There were several razzle dazzle plays which when pulled off with the hook and ladder tonight which by the way I thought was a great call and really gutsy but it worked!! The trick plays are great plays when they work, Not so much when they don't but this one did!!
I'm 63 years young and that play has been around since I played. Hard hitting, exciting and a well played game!!Milan won the battle but they new they were in one heck of a war!!
Milan's 21 guys dressed wore FR down with their 40 guys??? Hmmmm….. Not sure about that one. They start 9 kids both ways. Milan's coaches were not happy with how the boys played. Hoskins said enough to the Monroe news. Up 32-16 with 5 min left and Milan played absolutely awful on Defense. Mental mistakes all over throughout the game shooting themswlves in the foot multiple times throughout the game. They need to get a lot better in that area if they want a chance to win this league. That…. and staying healthy with their 21 guys. Take a victory however you can get it and move on to next week.
Milan Fan
Chris,if you can't believe what you just saw. Watch the video of the game and then go ahead and let that comment get theough.
PSA: Whoever is updating scores on maxpreps needs to fix them. Both Milan vs Flat Rock and Riverview vs SMCC scores are flipped.
Who said flat rock was going undefeated? Please give me a break. Had the best team in the league on the ropes for 3 quarters tonight. Shut up about trick plays.
Who said Flat Rock was going to have a perfect season? FYI, the Rams were successful with another trick play, but I guess you don't recognize or admire good coaching? Flat Rock got beaten by the better team tonight, who wore them down in the second half….No excuses. However you are crazy if you think Flat Rock is winning because of trick plays. Remember when Boise State beat Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl several years ago using a trick play? You probably don't, however if you humor me, do you think that season was cheapened for those athletes because they ran an occasional trick play? You might, but I'm guessing most of America would disagree with you, as well as Bob Stoops…FYI, he was Oklahoma's coach, but I'm guessing you don't know that either. Flat Rock's trick plays are on film. They have used that same hook and ladder play the last three years. So, it's up to opposing coaches to know this, and game plan for it like they would the Wing T or the spread… It's legal and part of what Flat Rick does. Don't like it… sorry. Having defended Flat Rock's program, I'm sure there will be haters who question this next thought, but I have never understood the vitriol towards Flat Rock. That means hatred, but I'm guessing.. oh never mind!
A lot of people underestimate Milan!!!! They did their thing tonight!!!! Onto Riverview next week……
AP definitely earned respect tonight. Played hard and have nothing to hang their head about. They were the underdogs going into tonights game which Huron was favored to blow AP away. That didn't happen. A couple of errors is what cost AP the game. Well played boys.
so much for Flat Rock's perfect season. I guess you can only do so much with trick plays.
I'm trying to figure out how a player from Milan got 2 unsportsmanlike penalties and was allowed to continue playing. I thought that was an automatic ejection.
Riverview is back in the mix after dropping last weeks game with Flat Rock last week. What a total team effort tonight at Navarre Field! Keep things moving forward. Next week's game against Milan should be quite entertaining. Riverview was subbing midway through the second quarter and the remainder of the game. Great game experience for the guys taking the helm next season. A lot of shining stars on the horizon for the Bucs. If they kept the starters in there, this game may not have been pretty.
Go Riverview
Flat Rock Fan
I can't believe what I just saw.
Thanks Huron fan. It was a tough one to swallow and not get the win, but glad to see the respect. We have not had much over the last few years (rightfully so), but think we have begun to turn the corner. As for Huron, very solid team and will be for the foreseeable future. Really no weaknesses on their team. Great special teams, can run and throw and defense is very quick to the ball. Good luck to you the rest of the way as well. Who knows, maybe week 10, we are right back at Arrowhead stadium for round 2?
AP fan
SMCC has no line on both sides … they just don't have it in the trenches !! No excuses, they don't have it and no speed at qb…they will win 1 more game this year !!! They have to change something up ?
what's going on at SMCC? WOW!
Great game at Arrowhead tonight….Huron looked sluggish for the 1st 3 quarters but that isn't to take anything away from AP. They are LEGIT this year!!!! Bondy, Dyl and Foor are really good football players and they will get their 4 needed wins…IMO.
Sad to see the officials taking the game away from Huron. Several sideline penalties and a horrible call on a field goal at the end of the half. AP out played Huron early but good to see Huron keep their composure. Fun game to watch.
Good luck to both teams
Huron Fan
Wow. Anyone that had questions abiut Riverview after last week should rethink. Last week they came without the juice and got beat by FR. This week this team had everything. The 2 main guys that were getting the team pumped tonight definitely were Sarnacki and Maher. Two very vocal captains. The line (both sides of the ball) showed last week was not there normal performance. The backs were outstanding and falling forward all game. And with how the Milan game bounced if view wins we're back in the title hunt.

I thought it was a great game. I agree special teams was huge. I thought Huron's depth helped them. Not having Brennan Spiess playing tonight makes Huron a completely different team. Can't recall seeing Huron's Phil Martin the first half, but he came up big in the 2nd half.
Airport is very good. Bryce Bondy is a stud and I love the QB Tanner Jeska. Very poised! The Jets lost the turnover battle and that probably hurt them the most. I thought Airport was well prepared and well coached. A little puzzled on going for 2 up 16, but after two Huron off side penalties it was literally less than a yard for the 2 pointer. Huron just made a big play.
I honestly think the better team won the game, but much respect for Airport.
Heck of a game at Huron tonight. They are very good and have talent all over the field, just as AP does. I've been on this blog stating that AP would play with them, and they did. Just several plays in the last qtr that didn't go there way and Huron capitalized when they needed to. Huron could very well win the league, but AP will win several more games as well and give everyone they play a battle. This game will sting for all the players, coaches, parents and fans of AP, but they will learn from this and strap on the chin pads next week and play hard. I was very proud of how they played and just witnessed a heart breaking loss, but what a high school game to be at. Not many 35 yard last second game winning field goals in high school football. Congratulations Huron and keep your heads up Jets. I know moral victories don't count, but the Jets should have earned a lot of respect tonight!
AP fan!
I was using talk to text Lee.
We also said it when AP didn't kick that extra point when it was 30-14 that it might haunt them. It almost was a non issue when Huron failed to get the first 2 point conversion making score 30-28. But in the end it was a costly mistake. It's like playing blackjack, u always play the book. Going for 2 when up by 16 is against the book. Get every point you can young man. They all count.
Huron won that game because of a great, great game by their special teams unit. They did an outstanding job kicking the ball deep on kickoffs, blocked a FG, made a clutch time expiring kick and had a couple good returns to quickly take momentum away from our Jets. There were some bad penalties that the Huron kids need to clean up, but that is one poised team.
They had every reason to stop fighting after Airport's great opening drive of the second half and just kept coming back.
Awesome game to watch from the visitor side. The Jets should quickly let this one go and get ready to get back to work to find 4 more wins.

hay mr schultz Hearon? Mr Keys
Very good game by AP and Huron. Mistakes by both Teams but bottom line Huron made one more play.
56-0 Onsted over young young Mason.
The score of the CC game was definitely not what I expected. However, I was super impressed with the sophomores, specifically Gus Flint #20, Wyatt Bergmooser #6, and Nieko Castiglione #42. I think this team has hope, they just need to find themselves. But that might take another year.
Dumb coaching move by AP cost them. Going for 2 when up by 16 wasn't smart. It ended up costing them the game when that point counted. 2 points when up 16 are not needed. Kick the darn extra point!
Hearon wins 31–30 on field goal as time expired I can't believe what I just saw
