• carslon gonna need more than a prayer against OLSM i fear

  • Yeah yeah. Same thing everybody said last year against big bad Dexter.
    I think the boys will show up and make O-lake FEEL THEM

• We had 1/2 our starting secondary and a DL out. Those are all state level guys. Officiating was bad, but not FR level bad. 3 phantom penalties at key times, play 21, 29, and 80. For 21, the guy who pulled the flag didn't even have the view to see, so he was guessing and on the other two, there was no penalty at all. I've seen worse, much worse. Thing that cost the team was the second half fumble while down 12-8. They were driving at midfield and Rouge was looking tired, then Rouge got the ball back at the end of a ten yard run. They were a beatable team. I think with Adams, Stuck, and Timmerman healthy and on defense, they win by 2 TD. We really couldn't stop the pass missing those guys out there. Timmerman played offense, but not quite as strong as his usual self due to the injury. Just didn't have enough time at the end. Scoring on that defense took at least 5-1/2 minutes if not more. Rouge played it very well. When your front seven is that big and that fast, you can leave 3 guys standing there where the safties are to make the play and they did. It's a disappointing end to a season that really could have been a big one if we didn't have the injuries. We just don't have the depth to replace losses like that. Grateful for one playoff win against a good football team. We had a lot of luck run our way these last two years and eventually it runs out when that miracle at the end didn't happen.

  • I sat on the Rouge side. They thought the officials favored Riverview. As a neutral observer, I thought the officials were fine.

    • For the most part, they were, but 2/3 on that first Rouge drive really got us early. No guarantee that Rouge wouldn't have thrown a pass on a 4th down and not got it. We haven't been able to defend the pass on Adams side of the field for half the season. His abilities sure have been missed. We really needed every break we could get. There was one big call that did favor us, the rest of the Rouge penalties were little ones like false starts and jumping off sides. The stuff that's obvious that they call on everybody.

    • The pass interference called on rouge -4th down play -view scored on that drive by the way was horrible

  • Stop crying about the officials everytime you lose or the game is close you cry .

    • The team lost because it turned the ball over and was slowed enough on offense to not have the time to score at the end. Credit goes to the other team. I do point out bad officiating when the penalty didn't happen. It's easy to forward and rewind a play in slow motion afterword to see if it was a good or bad call. In any playoff game, that's a serious issue. The bad officiating hurt any chances we had at an early stop.

• Frank,
  Come on over to Hudson and see the Hudson/Schoolcraft game. We’re 1:00pm on Saturday

  Go Eagles!

  • I will be there Saturday! Let me know where you’ll be seated at.

    This will be a fun double dip weekend of football.

• Clinton ran into an entire different animal Friday night than they did in week 1. SMCC is looking like the best team ever in my book. Clinton is young and they’re gonna be tough next year. Already looking forward to week 1 next year!

  • best team ever? SMCC is very good but lets slow down and take it 1 week at a time.

    • Agree! Very good but still a job at hand….nothing is given…you have to take it…..finish the job men! Falcon pride!

• Flat Rock might be the only team better in 2024 than 2014. League is not too great this year.
