I just saw a projection
The district
Riverview vs King
Trenton vs Rouge
Southgate got pushed north.
I see it like this in D3...
(4-5) River Rouge @ (7-2) Southgate Anderson
(5-4) Trenton @ (8-1) Riverview
Other district:
(4-5) King @ (6-3) Grosse Pte North
(4-5) Warren Fitzgerald @ (6-3) Redford Thurston
They try to keep the top point getters in each region in separate districts . However geography also plays a roll. The top ponts getters are
Anderson
Parma western
Riverview
Parma is literally so far from everyone else they have to go north. They want Riverview and southgate to be in different districts for the seeding. So the top seed is a reward. Normally that’s true, rouge and king play very difficult schedules.
Either Riverview or southgate will have to go north.
Thanks for playing.
Anonymous 10:22 am, Where did you hear that? It may have changed underneath Will at the MHSAA, but under Nate it was all about geography. I full expect Southgate, Trenton and Riverview in the same district. From there, who knows?
The seeding. When a district has conflicted geography, points and seeding are taken into consideration when determining matchups. When a team has to be geographically removed from a closer district. The southgate, Trenton , Riverview, rouge, king , is conflicted because Parma western has nowhere to go. So once of those teams has to be geographical displaced. Southgate #1 seed going north to play a lower 4 seed.
Where have you heard that? Certainly not from the MHSAA. Coaches Association Member? Usually the most uninformed people around. Sorry, but that is usually the case. I have literally left meetings with Mark Uyl and the MHSAA outlining something regarding football and received phone calls with minutes from MHSFCA members giving me the scoop and it is wrong. I will stand corrected if Trenton, Riverview and Southgate aren't in the same district.
This is incorrect.
Things are done “blindly” for very good reasons.
They don’t even know which team is which. They are just dots on a map. They don’t look at top point getters whatsoever.
Geography and ease of travel are the only 2 factors.
In other words, you could have the 2 best teams in the state in the same district. It’s happened before and will happen again.
This is true. Last 5 years the winner of the River Rouge v King game went to Ford Field and they played eachother in first or second round each year.
Could be. But how does that affect the rest of the map? Have to take the entire field of 32 into account.
Weird… I didn’t see Thurston and Port Huron swapped.
The rest was pretty accurate.
Those districts could go 5 different ways.
haha
Ok Gary Playoff Guru,
Big win for our Falcons today!!!! Who do you think we will be paired up with now that most of the games have been played?
We will go west or north.
We should open at home vs Detroit Central or Manchester.
Hard telling what the MHSAA will do.
We will find out tomorrow at 6p.
Football Maniac, just checking in. You’ve been noticeably quiet on the blog since October 12th.

Sounds like a great game congratulations SMCC. And good luck in the playoffs.
Cc could have went up by 2 scores late 3rd
Didn’t kick a FG from the 3
What r they thinking
It was not a good night for SMCC's kickers as I am sure you figured this out later. Sometimes a kicker has an off night. I would bet Coach Kipf has both of his kickers working hard this week to correct what went wrong.
What a great game! Hats off to both teams!
This has to do with Riverview, but does King slip into D3?
I'm guessing Airport will be the 2 seed in their district and host Adrian next week while top seed Chelsea hosts Tecumseh, unless Huron gets in they could end up in Airport's district. Huron is currently #33 in D4. Gary would a SMCC win tomorrow put Huron in?
Airport is the #1 seed and will play techumceh. Chelsea will play Adrain.
Riverview will be the 2 seed and open with Trenton then play I assume rouge . Rouge opens with southgate. Mason and walled lake western are in the other district. Brutal path for Riverview.
Flat rock will play milan then winner of summit and Romulus
Airport is overrated
Will be grounded in playoffs
Glad they brought some joy to the Carleton faithful
You sound a little upset.
Chelsea passed Airport in playoff points.
Mapology has airport 62 Chelsea at 59… maybe the records are update but not the points.
Chelsea's win last night over Dexter put them ahead of Airport in the playoffs rankings.
Can’t go by that. Go to the MHSAA web site.
I see it this way... wasn't expecting it but with Vicksburg in and North Branch out... Airport likely shakes out with something crazy:
#1 Airport hosts #4 Detroit East English
#2 Redford Union hosts #3 Dearborn Divine Child
I see the other district in the region as
#1 Chelsea hosts #4 Vicksburg
#2 Adrian hosts #3 Tecumseh
Or more probably moving Charlotte into the 4th seed with Adrian, Tecumseh and Chelsea.
That would be an interesting scenario PICK EM. Gary did mention Airport could end up west or north. Can't wait to see how it plays out. I would prefer Airport being a top seed in a district but I think they can compete with these teams home or away.
I would have given Airport the edge over Chelsea but that win over Dexter is really something. That game is probably a coin flip now.
Chelsea beat Dexter?
Trenton is not that good and the gave Chelsea everything they could handle. Trenton lost a lot of close games minus Allen Park, but Chelsea should have dominated.
Airport can beat Chelsea by 2 scores.
I agree Gary. It will be a really good game.
No
Is there anyway Huron gets into the playoffs?
Is there anyway for Huron to get in?
Does not look like it.
Anyone complaining about Riverview or cc being in the league is soft. I can see an argument for riverview leaving. But I’m not saying they should. Stop complaining about who is in this league. Riverview and cc are two of the better programs and they’re vastly different schools. Oh well. Just shut up and let the kids play football! Nobody cares for your excuses as to why your team is losing or winning. It’s ridiculous.
The thing with Riverview is enrollment is expected to drop. The usable part of the city is only 3 square miles and 40 percent of the school is school of choice, otherwise they'd be d5 or 6. It wouldn't make any sense to join some league with all d1 and 2 schools and end up d5 or 6. The Huron League has always fluctuated with years where Jefferson, Huron, Airport being the biggest school. Jefferson, Airport, Huron, I'd expect those schools to grow because there is land in those areas to be developed. Even Grosse Ile has a better chance of growth than Riverview because that Island is much bigger than Riverview. Riverview is at its all time high when it comes to the amount of students they have. It's not really the norm and probably won't stay that way.
There is nothing wrong with the league.
CC and riverview are great for this league.

I’m ready for wrestling. Season to start
Yeah lets just enjoy HS football tonight. It will be over soon enough. 5 more short weeks of playoffs.
Well said I totally agree.
Great night for the Huron League! Grosse Ile played hard for a half but injuries piled up. SMCC has their hands full tomorrow. MSMCC vs. DCD should not be a blow out although I would say DCD has the edge as the home team. I do have young family on the SMCC squad who have said that Country Day has an offensive lineman and wide receiver with multiple D1 offers which will test the young Falcons. They have been improving every week which a credit to their staff and those kids who didn't give up.
My prediction:
SMCC 21, DCD 20
Congratulations to all of the Huron League teams who were successful tonight! Five or Six teams making the playoffs again is impressive
