Airport is coming off of a 4-5 season in 2017. The Jets were involved in numerous close games and could have finished with anywhere from one to seven wins. Airport alum Jim Duffy returns for his 2nd season with the Jets. Airport has missed the playoffs 5 straight seasons after qualifying every year from 1999-2012.
On offense, the Jets return 6 starters. Senior Lucas Goins will take over the QB position and will have two very elusive weapons out of the backfield in fellow seniors Bryce Bondy and Steffan Dyl. Seniors Lucas Gratz and Hunters Boyless will anchor the offensive line while T. J Potcova will play TE.
Defensively, Airport returns 7 starters from a unit that gave up nearly 31 ppg last season. Senior Tanner Plensdorf will play on the defensive line while the LB corp will include junior Avery Adkins and Andrew Smith. Bondy and Dyl will contribute on defense along with Noah Blankenship and Cole VanWashenova.
The Jets have some talent and much could depend on how week 1 goes against Monroe High. Weeks 2, 3 and 4 are against beatable league opponents before getting into the meat of the schedule against many of the league favorites on the backside of the schedule.
Chris’s Pick: 4-5

1036 not sure where he came from, TE or where ever. one of the people there said he was a sophomore. and I didn't notice him until he was at RB (he's tall)all I know is that he looked the best out of all the backs by a huge amount. and if he is indeed playing TE, that shows his versatility and he needs to get some touches at RB. I walked by him after and he is all of 6'3". cant think of any other team that has a back that size. as far as grass lake "stinking" why didnt the other backs run like him? after all he's a "TE" he should be a RB. that's twice you made me type it so you seen it here first and second.---1218
I know what you guys are talking about.... and 12:18 I’m sorry that was the most idiotic comment I’ve ever heard. He’s a TE, yes he got touched in the scrimmage but Grass Lake stunk....get your head out of your butt 12:41....that may have been the most idiotic comment I’ve ever read
Who is this sophomore running back? EM
12:18 WHAT????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was a joke referring to how much Gary loves SMCC.

There’s a really good sophomore running back #10, I think, that if he gets touches, it could make the difference between 3-6 to 6-3. The kid is no nonsense runner. 6’3” beast, legs never stop moving, always going forward. Had some of the longest runs and a big TD run up the gut in grass lake scrimmage. Defense looked a tiny bit better than last year. Looked a little sloppy at times but all can be fixed with some adjustments.
Didn’t see JV play.
Huh? scratching my head.
Ok 1/4 of them. I was close! Lol. I was looking at it after you guys did Airports preview. Airport, Huron, and Dundee were all listed together and I noticed you had them all 3-6. Then there was SMCC before all of them that you predicted to go 13-0. Lol!!

I pick everyone to go 3-6?
Frank-yes I saw that. I’m actually surprised you didn’t get called out for doing so. Last year there would’ve been 10 comments trying to justify why they won’t go 6-3. Lol! On a side note, it seems like Gary picks everyone to go 3-6.
