well smcc won the league again. they deaserve it bc unlike anyone else in the league they play as an 11 man unit. they dont really have any hardcore playmakers but each one of those guys makes up for the others mistakes. and if one guy falls another can step in with full confidence. and no they shouldn't leave the league
To say CC hasnt any good players is a joke,They are disiplined and make very few mistakes,its also called well coached and each player knows his role,no one is above anyone else,they play as a unit,they play hard and practice harder I guess its good they dont have talent,just think what the scores would have been if they did.
We do have to remember that a very small % of fans get on here and bash other teams and/or players/
First off Chris I'm not saying one team has a team and the others don't. What I am saying is we should celebrate and support teams in the Huron league versus always focusing on individuals and how great they supposedly are. Teams like Airport, CC, Huron, and Milan could or are in the playoffs. We as Huron league fans should support them but instead we wish ill on teams or only talk about players. Personally I think Flatrock as young as they are should be commended for gutting it out and Jefferson for fighting back, and Riverview we shutting down the unstoppable one. Those are Team efforts. But it seems we want to bash, criticize teams and put individuals as our calling card. As the one blogger put to me that's BAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
In looking at SITOFN point against numbers and the 10:07 post that states "GI should be embarrassed having such a talented team on offense and not spending or preparing any defensive game plan."
I would have to agree. Our O is several layers deep and we do not need the help there. We are second in scoring points. Only SMCC has scored more. But as every team in the Huron League knows we cannot stop anyone. Even Flat Rock tripled their point for in one game against GI.
The fans in the stands can see the plays develop and time and time again we have zero adjustments on D from the staff. There has to be a disconnect between the defensive coordination and what the players are taught. Back in the day we would go over our next week’s opponent’s film and game plan and have our best 11 on the field to execute the planned scheme. The D changes happened every week depending on what team we were playing. Does sort of preparation currently happen at GI? I highly doubt that from what we have seen. Until the head coach prepares for an entire game we will not start to win. He would have to be blind to not see that his defensive staff is NOT working and as head coach it is up to HIM to make the adjustments. If you look at the numbers of points against GI has 328 – Flat Rock even has less at 307, Airport is next at 252 after that all teams are less than 200 points against.
I cannot believe that this lack of D would fly at other school districts. Correct me if I am wrong.
I do support our head coach, but as a parent I cannot believe that it should be up to us to question our lack of defense with him. Shouldn’t that come from the AD or administration? I do not want to be the same type of parent to run a good coach out of town and everyone knows that seems to happen here, I just want the program to focus on the whole game on both sides of the ball. I truly believe that if we had the right person coach our defense that we would have the best of both worlds.
GI Fan
CC fans talk too much instead of enjoying the fact they have great kids and a dedicated head coach
I wish someone could explain to me why so many people come on here and say this crap, when in reality, 99% of CC fans don't talk smack on here and I wish that the 1% of idiots would go away, but that is not going to happen.
The majority of parents, grandparents, alumni, etc., are just a bunch of hard working people who want to give there kids a good foundation for starting there adult lives. These kids are enjoying there high school years like most of us could only dream of. The group of seniors on this team are such a special group of kids, and I have enjoyed watching them grow into fine young men!
The respect that Jack Giarmo gets from his players, parents, and fans, is second to none.
Hey Anonymous 10/17 at 10:07pm, I applaud what you said, hope more people read through your comments though they are lengthy. You are wise and it's obvious you truly love the game. Emotions and self centeredness always get in the way, it's human nature. Great way to summarize this season on the Huron League Blog. Good Luck to all teams in the play offs.
Make fun if you must. I did not put down any team or any player. I simply state that our focus should stop being on individual efforts and more on team efforts. We should be celebrating the team accomplishments versus the big me accomplishments. Interview the big me's right now and ask them what they want, to hang up their pads or keep playing in the playoffs as a team. I think they would give up personal glory for team success any day. If not then why do we acknowledge them. This is not about putting one team or coach above the other. But since we brought up coaches, the so called best coach and staff left the Huron league and quote, " I was guaranteed 7 wins." SO he at least thought the league was not very challenging. Milan when they first came in thought they would dominate with talent, at first yes but it did not last. Riverview was at one time dominate (Lessner years including the inherited state finals team. But that was destroyed after his leadership. Huron should be celebrated after their turn around. Flatrock should be acknowledged for never quitting though a young team could have. GI should be embarrassed having such a talented team on offense and not spending or preparing any defensive game plan. Airport I guess won't get their guaranteed 7 wins. Jefferson continues to slump but at least their true to their philosophy. CC fans talk too much instead of enjoying the fact they have great kids and a dedicated head coach, instead they complain about the dumbest things—-spoiled fans. This is not a sociology class its a wake up call. We could be the best League in the state but we focus on all the wrong criteria. We wish ill on teams for the playoffs instead of supporting them. We get teams in the finals and hope they lose. Yet praise individual accomplishments. Bahhhhhhhh Humbug is right. Even you can't get over yourself with that comment. Chris many bloggers on here don't talk about teams they talk about who should win individual awards half the time.Case and point people in so many words hope Airport loses, we should be hoping they win, however I think people are tired of hearing how great Mays is. We should be hoping CC can repeat last years effort, but people are sick of their fans talking crap. People should be hoping Milan wins to get a higher seed, but people are tired of hearing how great Dunn is the 2 way POY. Again my point is support teams, communities, and our League, not individual accomplishment.
when your a line backer like dunn you shouldnt be the best player when your tackling running backs 6-8 yards down the field, at one point i saw his try and pick up a cc player and slam him, butthe only thing that did was give cc an extra 2 yards and a first down.
good player but there is better
Man someone needs to stop watching the " Lifetime channel ". Embrace and nourish…Bhahahaha
There has been quite a bit written about "The Team". I think most of the schools in the league put "teams" out there this season.
I can personally only think of one individual who seemed like an I, Me My type of player this season. Obviously I'm not going to list that player and please don't speculate
Just because a team is better than others and doesn't necessarily have any "so called stars" it doesn't mean their more of a team than others. It just means their team had more success and most likely more overall talent.
Maybe they just had the best coach in the league and that he could repeat that success anywhere. I don't know I'm just thinking out loud.
As for the league being down. We here that every year. All I know is this, the players seem to get bigger, stronger, faster every year.
I think what we would find is that the first place teams from the last ten years would compete well against each other along with 2nd place, 3rd place and so on.
It's all relative people.
Geeeish, Houron League fan 2:51pm. Thanks for Sociology class 101 this weekend. Ahhh yeah man Great Theory, but it will never happen, but hey keep living the dream dude.
Hey Chris, what other teams have lost 3 or more games in this league. Other then Airport.
GI band sounded great and they had great movement, but the Riverview band was off the chain for sure. Both are great bands.
Chris we need a battle of the bands…lol
I'm a Huron League fan and I will reiterate that the league is down. Individual performances and stats are great but I think everyone including those star athletes would rather win playoff games or win a League Title. The problem with so many sports today, at every level, is the focus on individual; not TEAM! Then we wonder why there are so many problems in society and a ME first attitude. We should recognize the value of Teamwork and embrace those schools that promote it, fans that nourish it, and communities that expect it to be a part of their teams' makeup. There has been to much made of individuality on this site and not enough about Team accomplishment. When it is all said and done remember the words of Bo,"It's about The Team, The Team, The Team!" Not a Bo fan or Michigan fan but a fan of people who get it right. Good luck to all Huron League TEAMS in the playoffs.
Airport has an excellent chance of getting in at 5-4 and here's why: of the 5 win class B teams currently ahead of them in playoff points (Cadillac, Grand Rapids Christian, Grand Rapids FHE, Mad Heights Lamphere, Melvindale) 3 of those schools play 0-8 teams and Melvindale should be a big favorite to beat Allen Park ( who just lost to Lincoln Park(35-0). While I would much rather Airport beat Franklin to get in, it looks as though they might get in anyways. EM
Airport can make the playoffs at 5-4. Although they will most likely play Adrian and get beat pretty good.
-BN
I agree KC, but i say Livonia Franklin will stomp Airport. Mays and the gang didn't look to good @ GI on Friday. I mean really 41 points GI scored. Playoffs. It's not going to happen Airport. Nice season Mays and Kitts.
I can't disagree Michael….it's a team game for sure.
Some people rise above and show leadership though…and that's what typically makes it to the next level which is why I sometimes will recognize it.
And if Chris (or the blog community) don't talk about performance, people get cranky. Just a human trait I guess.
SITOFN
Yea that is cool that jodeci has more yards than last year,But than again the team was better last year.
I agree with the Grosse Ile band looking and sounding great.
I was at smcc milan game really didn't see too much out of mr dunn on either side of ball. I was honestly hoping to see the "best two-way" player. I've seen both dunn and kitts versus smcc and its hard to say neither in my mind played well against cc. I honestly think the whole term "best" is dumb anyway. Worry about the team not the individual.
By the look of Livionia's team, Airport will have a bit of a problem there.. And their play off chance is in the air.
KC
Man that's a great question for Mays. That sucks to break records and ur team might not make the playoff, but last year they blew the first playoff game anyways and the team was way better. I don't think their going to beat Livonia franklin. Barber has alot to learn along with his young team.
I wonder if mays would rather have 1600 yards or a playoff win?
rendlerI wonder if mays would rather have 1600 yards or a playoff win?
Wow that is a great accomplishment over 1600yds.
I didn't think he was going to get that much this year with his small " O " line. Mays playing with a young inexperienced " O " line still manage to beat his last year school record….lol Joe Dunn is good but he'll never get 1600yds.
Hmmm… lots of food for thought there SITOFN lol
Anyways, how about those Chiefs? Winning season, along with 1 more win and they make playoffs.. Change of winds at Huron this year and thats for sure. Good luck boys and Congrats Kalby. Finish strong and go all the way.
KC
You might as well call this site the CC Blog Spot.
Jodeci Mays past his last year record in yardage which was 1640. Great job. I hope u guys make the playoff. Good Luck Airport.
I'm pretty sure there referring to the "312-72 Total Dominance" comment. SMCC won the league for the second straight year. Isn't that enough? Why rub it in?
If CC would have lost to Milan, I think the "rubbing it in" would be 10 times worse, so enjoy it boys!
GI is for sure 2 things:
-Consistent/Predictable
-Entertaining (if you like track meet scoring and don't understand or care about defense/kicking game)
Food for thought…
1) 0, 48, 75, 26, 42, 49, 34, 54
2) Mr. Mays is good, but Mr Dunn better all-around. GI bottled Mays up pretty good, but got gashed other ways.
3) Airport #22 shows TRUE GRIT and is slippery with the pigskin. He burned GI on the ground and in the air. He's got THE ATTITUDE and probably weighs 145 lbs dripping wet! Same for CC #11.
3) GI Running game too dependant on Mr. Kish, he gets hurt and Airport put 3 in the box….smart.
4) Mr. White can really throw darts….he still makes plays even with 8 guys in coverage.
5) GI band sounds great.
6) Why can't anyone in the HL play pass defense worth a damn?? You too CC.
7) Congrats to Huron…huge for their program, just one more.
8) Pink and Red clash!
9) Mr. Cameron made a couple highlight catches last night, Mr Adkins was a "haus" too.
10) Those Alongi brothers CAN play D…..The D line is better too. Big plays are killers again.
11) GI has cornered the market on on-side kicks.
12) CC really took it to Milan?? Either a great game for CC or letdown for Milan….looking forward to a recap.
Ida next week, one last time to find the shoulder pad straps and tighten em' up.
SITOFN
You weren't saying go play in the chsl before the game when you thought you were gonna win but now that you got dominated… you do?
I got news for you… Milan was bigger and faster…. but just not built around team. CC beats nobody because they are more talented they beat teams because they are more disciplined.
SITOFN "couldn't wait" until Airport came to the Island this year. Well, was the wait worth it?
Great job CC, congrats to the TEAM, not the fans, they blow!
I'm pretty sure there referring to the "312-72 Total Dominance" comment. SMCC won the league for the second straight year. Isn't that enough? Why rub it in?
SMCC…. Go play in the CHSL where you belong!
Bye!!!
October 16, 2010 12:15 AM
the huron league needs smcc, especially in football for obvious reasons…need to keep them around
Whats the matter sounds like your tired of getting beat up by a little D6 school.
SMCC…. Go play in the CHSL where you belong!
Bye!!!
SMCC FAN congrats Huron one more win you can do it!!!!1
SMCC out scored the Huron league 312-72 Total DOMINANCE!!!!!
