Week 9 Scores

View Comments

• Has the MHSAA figured out yet that there are probably more schools scheduling a terrible high division team to help themselves make the playoffs. The system is never going to be right. Everyone's schedule should be made fairly. Every school plays middle 7 games with teams in their division or no more than 1 division different. First game and last game can be anybody they want.
  It is terrible that any team in any sport under .500 should make the playoffs.
  I would really like to know how other states do it. A player playing more or less games in a season can impact a possible college athletic opportunity.

  • The way it would work is MHSAA assigns your schedule based on your district or region. No playoff points needed, just Ws and Ls in your division. D4 teams play D4 teams, etc. all 9 games. Would put an end to the traditional league structure and end some rivalries, but might not be a terrible idea.

    • I spent some considerable time on the blog talking about how Texas does high school football. Maybe that is something I can focus on down the road and kind of draw up how things would look in around Southeastern Michigan based on the Texas model, which is just fantastic.

    • Very hard to do in certain parts of the state.

      • There would be some long drives for sure

  • But there aren’t “probably more schools scheduling terrible high division teams”.

    You saw the system work last night in the SMCC win over an 8-0 team who played nobody all year long. The best 32 teams are in. That is what is most important. Not winning 6 games.

    Some of you want to compare high school playoffs to professional playoffs. Such a big difference. Professional teams are considered equal. Not the case in HS sports where some teams have a player pool of 2,000 and some 200.

    You want a system that only regards W’s. Just be over .500 as you say. No matter who you play. This system was so bad, they scrapped it.

    • Cc had enough points to make the playoffs as it turns out in week 6 with w wins. Could have gone 2-7 and made the playoffs. They're in every year simply bc geographically they are surrounded by larger schools in more populated area than say McBain or something, and get huge point bumps bc of that. System is still not right, has to be a medium between old system and new. The records of the teams who qualified in d7 is egregious.

      • Why do you care?

        That possible 2 win team was better than an 8 win team. Twice as good actually. The best 32 are in. That is the purpose.

        Who got left out that you are so upset about?
        Name the team and we can talk about it.

        • Take a look at Whitmore Lake. I ran the numbers and they needed to go 9-0 to make the playoffs.

        • Take a look at their schedule.
          You can’t have a schedule like that and be in D5.

          They were D8 last year. Now do an co-op with Charyl Stockwell, which moved them up to 5. They didn’t change their schedule and paid the price. You can’t just line up wins anymore.

    • Gary is right.
      I think it’s a great system.
      Did you look at how you get points.

      Huron league fan

• Congratulations Ronny Johnson on your milestone.

• How in the hell did Jefferson beat Onstead?

  • Onsted was super young this year.

• The Huron league would beat up on the SEC RED this year.. FACT!

  • The upper echelon would beat up on Pioneer, Skyline, and Lincoln.

• There definitely were some good games last night for the Huron League teams. New Boston Huron went to Crestwood (6-2) and did what they needed to do. They won by 30! Next to Milan’s shutout of Detroit Leadership(?) this was the next largest margin of victory. Great job Chiefs!

• Will y’all be giving updates on Jefferson game?

• I told you Monroe would lose to 4 maybe 5 teams in the Huron league this year.. Told you!!

  • That’s not because the Huron League is that good, rather it’s Monroe is that bad.
    Not sure why either.

    • Airport, Huron, and Flat Rock would beat Monroe too. Don’t flatter yourself.

    • Don't hate the T because it owns you.. Embrace the butt kicking and move on

• The teams running the full house T got it done today. You can say what you want about it but it works. It take a very disciplined defense to stop it. Monroe looked clueless against it and it sounds like Ecorse did about the same against it.

  • It’s a good offense when you’re ahead, not so much if you’re losing.

    • This is an untruth.

      • I’ll take any offense other than the T if I’m down a couple scores or need to score quick.
        Stick to announcing and the blog.

        • Thank you Gary. I just shake my head when I see those posts abut the T. It's telling us they've never coached varsity football without telling us they've never coached varsity football.

        • Have a good defense you wont b down. T formation for life

        • You’re losing for a reason. Maybe it’s your offense.

          Teams make comebacks with the T as often as a 5 wide. You have fallen for a misnomer, a fallacy. Most recent I can remember was Hudson falling behind Whiteford last year 20-0. Hudson won. And went on to win a state title. Don’t be fooled.

          T teams score more points than any other offense in this country’s history. No matter if ahead or behind. Look at the MHSAA record book. Nearly all the top teams in points scored in a season are T teams. I’d like to say you know what you are talking about but I can’t.

      • OK Coach Hauf

• Ronny Johnson breaks over 1000 yards rushing for the season!

  • Way to work. Awesome accomplishment. Congratulations.

• Gary,

  You going to comment on that SEC division and how Riverview took it to them?

  • Riverview is undefeated in the zHuron League.
    They would have 3 losses in the SEC.
    Don’t judge the SEC on Monroe High School.
    They’re not very good this year, and may. It be for the next couple of years.

    • D4 vs D1 and D2. Not apples to apples.

  • We all picked Riverview for a reason. We thought they were the better team. We aren’t always right, but we were on this one.

    • 👍
