FNV Week 2 Player of the Week Nominees

View Comments

• What Div is airport. I see a lot of hoopla about them. I enjoy seeing the fan base. I hear lots of good things going on up there.

  • Take a look at the state rankings post. You will find what division they are in.

• The HL is boring.. Airport going to wrap up the title by Week 3 against FR..
  I believe top to bottom the LCAA is much stronger this year.
  There will be “ upsets” and some actual important games at the end of the year.

  • Assuming Airport beats FR on Friday the Huron League will not be wrapped up. Week 4 they are at rival SMCC. And later on they play Huron. I know Huron is currently 0-2 but I believe they will get it together, besides these Airport seniors have never beaten Huron.

    • Rival?

      • Nice breakdown Gary. Still a lot of regular season football to be played but that seems like a manageable road if Airport is as good as a lot of us think they are. Time will tell.

        • Damn! Gary just gave the mic drop regarding the SMCC/Airport rivalry. EM, I’d say it’s more of a hatred towards SMCC-most schools in the HL have it towards them because they’ve really never beat them. Whether it’s football, volleyball, girls/boys basketball, softball, and sometimes baseball-a lot of schools just don’t like SMCC. It’s like a respectful hatred of that makes any sense.

        • I was just breaking EM's balls

          He's been around awhile.. We are allowed.

      • Hey Gary I know it's really early but who would potentially be in Airport's region? Is Tecumseh any good this year?

        • The good thing regarding Airport, other than Goodrich, all the top teams are west.
          I think maybe the stiffest competition would be maybe Harper Woods, prior to a state-semi.
          That is where you might meet Goodrich(see Riverview last year).

          I think the overall trip for Airport will be a good one.

          Tecumseh just lost to Whitehall(D4's top team) by a lot. \

          Your trip would look something like this.

          Early rounds: Adrian, Tecumseh, Divine Child, Livonia.(very doable)
          Regional: Harper Woods, Cros-Lex.(HW is talented)
          Semi: Freeland, Goodrich.(Starts to get very real here)
          Final: Whitehall, Unity Christian, South Christian, Portland.(Best of the best)

      • I get your point Gary. Not a hill I'm willing to die on. Original point being a win over Flat Rock doesn't guarantee anything for Airport with a trip to SMCC up next.

        • Being cautious is a good way to go. I think Airport is a strong team. I wasn’t sure in the preseason but I think they are strong enough to win a Region. From there, who knows? Top 5 of D4 has some excellent teams, but I think the Jets could give themselves a chance.

      • So I guess Jefferson is your one and only rival. Ok got it.

        • No. To me, the competition needs to be close, in terms of wins and losses. For SMCC over the last 10 years, Milan(5-5) and Riverview(6-4) would be rivals.

          Airport(9-1) had this great class come through, but prior to that, it hasn’t been much of a rivalry.

      • I would say they've developed a rivalry over the last 20 years or so in football.

        • We probably have different definitions of rival or rivalry

• Great slate of young athletes to follow this year! Going to be a great year! Some may think the Huron league is boring, but everyone loves cheese pizza!
