Belleville is under investigation for recruiting violations.
Bedford will most likely not make it past round 2. They’d likely face Livonia Franklin then and lose, maybe if they play like they did against saline they could go further, but I see them out in round 2.
Glad to see Clinton getting some love in D6.
Shocked none of you picked Hudson in D7. Yes they have a tough road but I wouldn't sleep on them. Match-up with JCC next week would be a huge battle.
No love for Tecumseh in D4? Yes they lack defense, you think Riverview can win a shootout against them?
My opinion Whiteford has D8 locked up already.
Good job this years guys and thanks for what you do. I am not a fan of the new playoff system, I feel a lot of good team with winning records got the short straw.
Riverview has a strong defense, and has Tecumseh had to face anyone that will line up and run it down your throat?
Riverview will take Tecumseh to Poundtown. Book it.
You guys keep breaking down a game that might not even happen. I love how a lot of you are counting Airport out.
Airport is good not great. Defense lacks play makers in the secondary minus mills. #7 can't run the ball every down and make every tackle.
Downrivertraphouse I'm assuming you haven't watched Airport very much. Mills is a very good two way player but the offense is pretty balanced. And in the secondary i would say Nowak is pretty darn good as well.
Coach Anon you better not sleep on Airport. They have a good shot to beat Tecumseh.
Ok not gonna lie until this year i had never heard of Whitehall. What makes them a D4 favorite?
They returned many from the team a year ago.
Word was prior to the season starting they would be very good.
I listed them #1 in the Week 1 ranking.
They are 9-0, beat some good teams.
There are 5 teams in my opinion that can win D4. Whitehall, OLSM, South Christian, Riverview and Edwardsburg.
If Whitehall and SC meet in the Regional, that will be a big time battle. I hope to be able to watch that.
