Regional Edition: Our Thoughts, Not Yours

By Chris Schultz and Frank Vajcner

Each week, Chris and Frank will give their thoughts on our blog teams. For the most part, one will generally keep things on the rails, while the other goes a little off the wall. We also expanded outside of the blog area this week.

Blog Teams:

Carlson

Frank: The defense played well for the Marauders, considering that they were punching above their weight class. 

Chris: Thats the point of divisions, everyone is the same size. (We all know what you mean though)

Flat Rock

Frank: Graham Junge was cooking in his last home game. So was the Mighty Ram defense.

Chris: I heard Frank was a celebrity in Flat Rock on Friday

SMCC

Frank: The last time the Falcons put up consecutive 50-burgers was the 2014 playoffs. We all know what happened after that.

Chris: Frank are you suggesting that a Head Coach may retire at the end of the season?

Other Regionals:

Frank: So will Connor Stallions get a job at one of the remaining playoff teams?

Chris: Connor who?

Frank: None of my D1 Final Four were correct.

Chris: I still have one alive

Frank: Gary’s pick of Groves to win it all in D2 looks good.

Chris: I wonder if Gary was anticipating a poor officiating call?

Frank: DeWitt just scored again.

Chris: How did they do that?

Frank: Zeeland West and DeWitt is the de facto D3 State Championship.

Chris: I think Detroit King may have something to say about that.

Frank: Niles coach Scot Shaw will get to coach at his old stomping grounds next weekend. Advantage?

Chris: I think Paul Hess and Sam Rucker give him the advantage.

Frank: My sleeper pick of South Christian continues to look good.

Chris: Tooting your own horn Frank?

Frank: Chris and I got all four D5 teams right for the Final Four.

Chris: Will the Rams shock the state?

Frank: Lumen Christi is 1 of 1, but I had a friend tell me that Ida could have beaten them and made it to the semifinals.

Chris: I think the JLC/Ida game was the state championship game

Frank: There are a lot of blog readers in Hudson. Despite the loss to Schoolcraft, the Tigers could be a team to watch next season. And everyone needs to remember the name Beckett Campbell.

Chris: I think Hudson is a team to watch every season.

Frank: Reports of Fowler’s demise have been greatly exaggerated.

Chris: I wouldn’t be surprised if Beal City parties like it’s 2009

Bonus: 

Frank: Make sure you listen to Bring The Wood. Also make sure to rate, review, and subscribe.

Chris: BTW is not just for football geeks!

Frank: Once again, I have to thank the folks at Flat Rock and Hudson for their hospitality this weekend.

Chris: Frank you are one of a kind and everyone’s favorite high school sports geek!

Frank: The plan is for me to make the trip to Harper Creek next weekend. Oddly enough, I officiated a game there back in Week 2. They have very nice facilities.

Chris: I will be making the short trek to Westland to see the Mighty Rams. Tailgate starts at 9:00 am.

Frank: Next week is already Week 0 for basketball. I have a scrimmage Tuesday as Bedford hosts Onsted and Jefferson.

Chris: I love basketball season. Still wondering what an FNV following there would be if we covered basketball.

Frank: If you would have told me that the Lions would win a game where Jared Goff throws five interceptions, I would have told you to get tested.

Chris: Me too!
