Got to say proud of the boys down at CC. Polls from HL coaches had them predicted to place 6th in the huron league prior to the season. Not gonna crown them HL champs just yet but it’s hard seeing the Bears come to navarre field and take down the HOT CC Falcons. CC had a rough 2 year stretch but it feels good to see them in their usual form. As for FR they made many mistakes that the Falcons capitalized off of. They need to have a great 2 week stretch to get ready for playoffs. Always rooting for HL teams in the playoffs
Everyone in the HL expected a top 3 finish from SMCC…
If I had to say anything about the game in Monroe last night is. Yes they are physical. Yes flat rock is pretty beat up after that game for sure. Yes Monroe was a great football team. No Graham didn’t play his best game. No flat rock doesn’t walk out of that game with a win if they don’t turn the ball over just makes the score look a lot better for them. Hat off to the birds
It was a good hard hitting game. I really pull for all HL teams to do well in playoffs. The more league success in the playoffs the better we all are.
I am sure the 3 that are fs in will make a great run. This Monroe team I bet we will see at ford field
When they didn’t have enough players to field a freshman team is where it all started. The past two years with no JV teams. Decreased participation, school of choice, and coach turnover has hurt the program. They have had at least 4 different coaches during the past 10 years. They took on a huge challenge with the lack of upper classmen and players in general (only about 25 players in the entire high school). Plenty of kids during the past 10 years have had to play both ways because like stated earlier half of that team would get hurt and shouldn’t have to play against upper classmen. Moving in the right direction, great young men but the card’s are stacked against them. They are one injury away from disaster and no team should be in that position. Concerned about what happens after 2026 and QB1 graduates. To many eggs in one basket but everyone understands why. Go Bears!!!
If lack of numbers is the main reason for your problems, what doesn’t the AD or someone above the coach insist on getting everyone involved on the team as much as possible. This is obviously a rebuilding time for the football program and wins are not at the top of the list right now, growing the program is #1. I was at the last game and many parents are complaining about this. If kids don’t play, they will not return next year. There is zero reason the starting QB and many others should still be in the game when it is out of reach.
CC, Riverview, and Flat Rock all have elite offensives.. only CC has an elite D and this is why they are outright huron league champs.
Congrats to SMCC… a few down years but they were building towards something special. Good luck!
Not outright yet, still have to slow down the Bears whose offense is on fire. This has the makings of a classic trap game with a loaded Detroit Country Day team looming in week 9 for SMCC.
Uh….No
Lmao. Great post Chris
Your kidding right. If SMCC didn’t show more mercy and more sportsmanship than most teams in the league, this would be Jefferson’s worst loss of the season and they lost to Riverview 60-0.
CC players and coaches are in this together. Lock-step…players are all in on what the coach’s ask of them. Coaches do an incredible job of backing their players. FR and Riverview wins are quality wins. Both those teams are big strong and well coached.
Kids need to stay focused and push forward one week at a time.
CC should make the final 4 with ease I’d imagine. Not super familiar with D7, but they must be one of the favorites, if not the favorite to win it all. Well coached and they are hungry. Flint has done a great job with that defense, disciplined and physical like his Riverview squads. Would have liked to have seen CC – Riverview with a healthy Adams, but congrats to CC on the league championship. Well deserved.
Hudson is the real deal. That would likely be a regional. Calpreps has Hudson as the favorite in that game. And Menominee the favorite in D7.
Gary- I heard Hudson & Clinton had scouts at the game last night. Some overheard them discussing petitioning the MHSAA that SMCC shouldn’t host any playoff games at Navarre, due to poor field conditions, and lighting. Can this actually happen?
Seems perfect conditions for Full House T teams, Clinton and Hudson.
I’d be willing to wager the games will be played at Navarre field through regionals, if SMCC continues to win.
That is absolutely stupid. Navarre field is just fine. There are a lot worse fields than Navarre. I guarantee the MHSAA would never move that game.
The lighting is terrible. Field’s ok but it’s to dark.
Genuinely interested to hear what fields are worse than the majestic junior high field?
I’ll assume you are referring to Navarre, which I said was fine. Nothing better, nothing worse. Off the top of my head; Taylor, Old Reford, and Detroit Western.
Let’s go Tigers!!!!
Hudson’s biggest win was Ida 16-8 score. Clinton next up.
SMCC’s beat Clinton and their biggest quality wins (beside Clinton) were back to back wins against highly ranked D3 and D5 teams (Riverview, Flat Rock).
It would be a great matchup. Hudson would have to play at Navarre if it happens at all.
Yep. You are correct. Let’s see what happens this week.
Ah right.. Hudson. Good call. Is Lumen Christi D7 this year? Side note, do you think FR and Riverview can make deep runs in their respective divisions? Looks like Riverview may not get out of the district sadly. I think I heard someone say they may be dropping back down to D4 next year..?
just curious when was the last time flat rock beat cc our Riverview our any real deal teams for the matter (besides vs airport 203) Idk why they keep struggling to win the big league games maybe a culture thing
2017
Kinda hope that FR FAN . THAT TYPED IN ALL CAPS IN A PREVIOUS POST. Has a wallet as big as his mouth.
You’re gonna need it.
Donn,
You are correct. Show me the thread you had the guts to wager pre game and not after I we can meet for a beverage and payment.
That being said. SMCC is the better team and congrats to them.
Sorry FR FAN,
My gut tells me your feelings got hurt. Taking that bet would be like taking candy from a baby. Too easy. I’ll leave the predictions to the professionals that run this blog. And not run my mouth on a gut feeling. After all DADDYS MONEY needs to be put to good use.
.Tuition.
.Weekly church offering.
I shall prey for you.
CC is without a doubt the best team in the Huron League..I don’t want to hear excuses from anyone about turnovers…you couldn’t stop CC…
They will be hard to beat in D7, gotta stay hungry…
Agree!
Let’s get all of these comments out of the way now:
SMCC hasn’t played anyone tough yet
SMCC ONLY won because Riverview had 3 turnovers and FR had four turnovers
SMCC ONLY won because they recover fumbles
SMCC ONLY won because they recruit
Every week many post all the excuses as to why SMCC wins games. They don’t just win – they have dominated two teams in a row. Maybe it’s just because SMCC is that good, work extremely hard and are disciplined. Give them the respect they deserve!
GO SMCC!
Good teams capitalize on mistakes. Look at the scoreboard. SMCC is not just good, they have their eyes on the prize. All about execution.
Streaks! Is it just me, or were those football slick tonight??
CC is pretty good just saying
Saw 2-3 horse collar tackles by FR. it does look bad – and understand the riverview complaints
But being a SMCC fan, I think the FR players were tired- slow- beat up – and just trying to make tackles
Great game Flat Rock gave it all you had.
Riverview beats Milan 43-19

End of 3
Smcc took someone to the wood shed
Better team won the game.
FR was not the better team.
What’s the story with FR? They giving them the ball or something?
About 4 times
The story? Fast and aggressive beats big and slow every time. Constant pressure on the QB resulting in 3 picks (maybe on 3 consecutive drives?). The offense did their job, the defense did their job and special teams was solid.
Something for you nonbelievers. These catholics know and understand the story of David and Goliath. They’ve heard all year how teams are bigger than you. You don’t stand a chance. These young have made fools out of many haters on this blog.
But I can promise you this. They’ve made us catholic birdies very proud.
The story. Same game plan 3 years in a row. Run first pass second. Get down by 20 to every good team then try to throw to bail themselves out. Lost to cc and Riverview every year with that strategy. Tonight they didn’t throw until down by 20 with a qb who has over 5000 yards passing. Then he’s forced to and cc sits back and picks him off over and over.
Flat rock thinks they are a run first/ balanced offense team and it only works against the weaker teams.
They constantly get 2 and long 3 and long and then throw it.
Fr doesn’t learn.
Cc is dominate, fast and well coached with good strategy. .
Airport 34

Half
Airport 100 Jefferson 99.
No defense whatsoever, lots of turnovers, both sides. Still the Luke Beaudrie show, still in with 4 minutes to go and down by 25.
No wonder not enough kids, many don’t get to play.
Need to re-think that. It’s not about success of 1 young man, need to think of the success for the whole program.
It’s wildcat offense or single wing where the 2 best players are the only ones who carry the ball. If you want to touch it you better learn to play WR. It’s sad but the cupboard is a little bare on Williams Rd. Better days ahead.
Luke might just be the very best player in the HL. no back up QB, no seniors, and a bunch of freshman on the sideline that might seriously get injured if you put them on the field. I graduated 2 years ago.. we went 1-8 and I never came off the field and I now play college football.. Matter of fact, I didn’t come off the field my entire career and I won a total of 9 games in HS. I would love to see how you would make adjustments. Sit in the stands and watch the shining star of an athlete that’s on the field. Any wins with a team that’s avg age is 15 is massive. So please, unless you are going to go out there and make so called adjustments yourself, then keep it shut. You are simply a hater and a non-believer of the process… much like most of our community unfortunately.
I can’t approve the end part of this, Friar.
Make some changes.
-Gary
Why do you keep saying that. He is not the best player in the HL. Come back on here after the SMCC game and let me know how that goes. Jefferson will never get numbers with this philosophy. If everyone thinks like you, I know exactly what the problem is.
