Friday Night Scores

View Comments

• These comments don’t represent the average Riverview fan. Bucs had a tough night, didn’t play well. SMCC looked disciplined and well coached.

  To my fellow Riverview fans and parents who blame officiating, act a fool in the stands, and misrepresent our school and city: Grow up. Your behavior is embarrassing.

  • All fan bases can act a little silly.

    For Riverview, it was a night that doesn’t happen very often for them. Miscues in terms of fumbles, kick off returns scores. An anomaly in what has been a very good 8 year run or so for the Pirates. I think you just chalk it up as that and move forward.

    For SMCC, it was a night of disciplined play, while taking advantage of the opportunities provided. This was a big win for SMCC, considering the opponent and what was on the line.

    For the fans, it was an exciting game to watch. I understand it was more exciting for the SMCC faithful, but it was an entertaining night of football. Big plays on both sides. If you didn’t have a horse in the race, it was money well spent.

    Both programs have big games on the horizon in 2024. Both teams have to put this game behind them and prepare for the challenges ahead.

• Compliments to SMCC and Riverview on a great football game. It was hard hitting, old school, and fun to watch. Best of luck to SMCC next week against Flat Rock. You gotta love an underdog! Best of luck to Riverview the rest of the way and in the playoffs. Hopefully both teams got out healthy

• Huron Chiefs Coach Hoover needs to clean house. Totally ridiculous.

  • What is ridiculous? Please elaborate?

    • They have and had a lot of talented athletes at Huron. Many of them did not play football in the years 2021 and 2022. They finally got a new coach with a great record. Why are there still issues? Coach Hoover needs to clean house!

    • I’m not the OP, However, a number of Huron parents are less than pleased with the coaching staff’s refusal to put a stop to the unsportsmanlike conduct by a small number of players, in particular the O-lines’ habitual WWE-esque behavior. They know they have talent but are disappointed at the lack of discipline and results.

  • It all starts with him. Just saying!

    • Exactly, that's why he needs to clean house.

• Perhaps player of the week candidate big Rj Percha with the big man touch down for the flat rock rams

  • Up by 28 and running a trick play?
    I thought it was cheesy and dumb.
    Hoskins has been kind to FR in years they could have scored more, and we do that up by 28? Cheesy.
    Why show that play on film, when you’re playing the best team by record next week?
    Dumb.

    • Illegal play, there is no such thing as reporting “eligible” in high school football. How the officials missed this is beyond me

    • How was it not illegal? End man on the LOS was a tackle. That’s not an eligible receiver.

      • It’s not and I think refs may have blown it.

  • That’s rarely happens any more props that big man with a thick six. I saw that on state champs looked like a well drawn up play.

• Where is all the Jefferson hype?

  Total domination vs GI

  That team will be unstoppable in two years

  Huron league champs 2026!!!

  Perfect season

  • Oh boy!! 1 win is not worthy of hype. Get state ranked and you may get some hype. Long way to go. LOL.
    How bout shooting for the playoffs.

  • You beat Grosse Ile chill out! Everyone knew Jefferson was going to win because GI was that bad

  • In what world was it a total domination?

    • Everyone dominates GI

• First of all, great win SMCC. Here's my assessment after watching the film.

  Poor effort out Riverview team with a line that at times played as if it was trying to do whatever the bare minimum could be. The job was to wear them out and it doesn't happen with guys letting off blocks early watching the game while the play is still happening and whiffing all night. Number of times, if the block was made, a TD was possible, poor fundamentals. The backs can't do it all. As bad as the teams was, they still had a chance in the 3rd quarter. You can't have all those false starts when you're averaging roughly 3-4 yards per play. Not sure if it was a good choice to pass so much, but with a line and backs not blocking, it wasn't the best choice. I watched the KR team not block anybody and stood 20 yards away while 8 SMCC defenders swarmed the return guy. We need football players, not jerseys. That really summed up the story of the night. The team played like they didn't want it didn't get it. As a fan, no sour grapes whatsoever. The team that deserved this game won this game, no question. It's a miracle the Pirates even had a chance with all those turnovers and KR TD's.

  If they expect to win a single playoff game against anybody, they'll have to try much harder than that. This isn't the same team that began the season. With a talent like Ian Adams, the team could at times afford to be lackadaisical, but not anymore because he's not there to break off those big runs. Either a hole is there, or Riverview won't do much, especially against a team that knows this offense as good or better than Riverview does.

  Looking ahead to the FR match up for CC, all I can say is FR is a physical team that has lots of big bodies that can wear you down. That FR offense is quite a hammer imo. I wouldn't judge FR by what just happened to this Riverview team because trust me, they can play ball with you guys, they just ran into a Riverview team that played much harder than last night. Like you guys demonstrated to the Pirates, expecting miracles doesn't win football games, consistency does.

• That was SMCC’s biggest win since 2019. Riverview has some very big boys on that team! The entire SMCC defense was lights out! D line, linebackers, and D backs. I was getting a little nervous when Riverview moved the ball to the 10 yard line and didn’t convert on the 4th down play. If they convert there it would’ve made it 28-22 with 8 minutes left in the game. Offensively I’m still not sold on this shotgun/T/spread offense. I would’ve liked to see this group of kids run the T at times. Just my opinion-not trying to debate anybody!

  • Let me ask you this.

    If SMCC had never ran the T before, would you say to yourself, “ This group of kids looks like they would do very well in the T offense”.

    I would bet that answer is, probably not.

    • Bring back the power I formation!

      • RIP n LIZ!

    • Yeah you’re probably right…

    • As an Ida fan, I think I say this with every single team we play haha. Just love the T offense. CC has done a great job adjusting to this “Gun-T” though, they are going to be a tough out in the playoffs.

• Those refs must have made Riverview turn it over smh always the refs

• Hats off to SMCC on a great win! Riverview is a formidable team that is well-coached and loaded with talent. This why the games are played regardless of what pundits or delusional dads post on blogs. It was a great football game between two really good football teams.

  Enjoy the win Falcons. Next up is a talented FR team.

• For those keeping track.

  SMCC - 374 students , 187 boys

  Riverview 875 students , 438 boys

  • I don’t agree with you sometimes Gary, but here, you’re spot on.
    Take your butt kicking and go home.
    Get ready for your next game.
    Riverview cries when they win, they cry when they lose.

  • SMCC has 325 students
