Here are the blogs picks for All Huron League Offense 2013. (Please remember that I am only picking players one way. If they don’t appear on offense they may appear on defense)
1st Team Offense
QB Robert Kanitz Senior Milan
RB Josh Smith Senior Riverview
RB Trace Lindeman Freshman Milan
RB Josh Czarniowski Senior SMCC
OL Jake Friese Senior Milan
OL Jacob Krug Senior Huron
OL Brandon Moskall Senior Grosse Ile
OL Shane Nowak Senior Riverview
OL Andrew Castiglone Senior SMCC
E Tyler Olsen Senior Huron
E Gage Smith Senior Milan
K Matt Bacon Senior Riverview
Honorable Mention
Kyle Bausman (OL) SMCC, Chase McKay (OL) Huron, Chris Stanley (OL) Milan, Eric Antolak (OL) FR, Cody Radcliffe (E) FR, Danny McCarty (E) GI, Nolan Glime (E) Riverview, Elijah Sandore (RB) Jefferson, Marcus Samuels (RB) Riverview, Justin Carrabino (RB) SMCC, Ian Robinson (RB) Huron, Joe Vollmerhausen (RB) GI, Bryce Windham (QB) SMCC
Could someone point out the honorable mention underclassmen for me? By name, grade, and school.
Yeah I just can't wait for another STRONG Milan playoff run-HA HA. Always such a GREAT TEAM but NEVER GOOD enough to beat anyone in the playoffs. Again Milan- BLAH BLAH BLAH
Just dethrone the 2x reigning Champs no more talking til 2014 results you i#@$ ts.
Jefferson will be much improved next year. Only losing 6 starters and it will be 2nd year with the new coach. Keep talking about the same schools, thats fine.
1-8
SMCC will be very strong on the O-line next year. 60-47-55-71-81 are going to be tough as nails next year.
I don't think you realize they have no offensive line and they don't have any good defensive players.
i'm saying riverview goes 7-2 or 6-3. they have there QB, center, fullback, wingback, TE, and wide receiver and they all will be on their 3rd year starting. and there 3rd string RB last year was averaging over 10 yards a carry with a solid 9-0 jv team coming up.
JV ball doesn't determine varsity success. so stop going there. Experience on the other hand does help win games as does consistent play. It seems milan, gi, and smcc have been doing that. riverview is on its way. if e use the jv philosophy, riverview should win it all in 2014.jv was undefeated.
a note on the all league selections. some stats aren't talked about, like many personal fouls, offsides, fals starts, and missed blocks. those kill drives especially in critical times of the game. that can over shadow good play.
Smcc almost beat Milan this year….next year they still have 16 returning starters. Smcc will win the league
That's what smcc said last year
That Smcc JV team went 7-2 without their 4 best players.
All-region goes by how many newspapers they can sell c'mon 6 monroe players on a 5-4 team with a great coach.
Great is one of the most over-used words in sports. He has 5 playoff wins ever and 0 since he's been at Monroe. He wins when he has better players then everyone else and under achieves when the talent isn't there.
Ok quick question and hope someone can clear this up for me.
Who picks the all region?
Does it go by stats?
Come on chris please give us he defense. We need something new to critize you with.
Have to come to GI though this year. Tough place to win a game Chris.
SMCC returns 16 starters I believe and will be moving up a 7-2 JV team. They would definitely be picked before GI at this point.
I would say GI as long as Mitroka is healthy. We all saw how good they were with him and how meidiocre they were without him.
I say Milan Blows you guys away again 3peat. Watch n See. ..so pick them again to 3or4
SMCC loses a lot of talent. GI has good players but again its depth. Milan you just never know. That's a tough one-my choice GI.
I will most likely go with SMCC.
Who's the favorite next year? SMCC, Milan or GI?
Who's the favorite next year? SMCC, Milan or GI?
It's coming.
If it was Ken he would probably spell it correctly. Its Camilleri.
Jordan Hendricks (TE/OLB) will be a stud next year for Milan as a junior!
watch for faulkner from milan next year on the o and d line. missed half the season because of injury but performed well in the games he played in
Not all seniors, there's a freshman in the mix!
Thanks Ken, we all know he's the next "lay Mathews!
also, thing about camalleri is the kid probably will be the best defensive player in the league next year. Stud LB!
I'll take Camalleri. You can have the rest.
Lineman- Mckay-huron Faulkner-milan
Linemen- Taylor (AIR) or Gilliam (GI)
best lineman in the HL next year?? Camilleri of GI, Faulkner of Milan, McKay of Huron..
this was Chris's all league team. If you don't like it start your own blog.He must put a lot of time in it.
Nobody is criticizing Chris's picks, they are criticizing the actual all huron league selection process.
No wonder it seemed so watered down. Coaches trying to make seniors happy. Nothing wrong with that but it becomes a sympathetic vote. Not a debate of who is actually deserving amongst the other coaches.
8:46 there is no longer a voting process. Coaches put their own kids on the teams.
Cam is also a defensive starter at LB.
Who will be the best linemen in the HL next year?
I believe there is another All Huron league team picked by the coaches. Don't know where that one is published though. Chris, just want to send thanks to you, for all your hard work on this blog. You have made my 2 years of being a grandparent of a player in this league a lot of knowledge. Good luck in the future, especially with adding the Downriver gang.
Thanks I appreciate the kudos. There was an all league team this year voted on by the coaches. They changed back the voting to the old ways of doing things.
???? I read the all league selections inthe paper. There was no voting, 7 first team selections for Milan, 6 for CC, 5 for View, Etc…. Nothing by position, no POY ot COY. Where are yyou getting your info? Placing your own players on which ever team you choose is not Voting.
I thought I was the Google search master, but could you please tell me in what paper you read the selections? I can't find it anywhere? Got a link? Thanks!
It was in the Monroe Evning News last week. There was not an article, it was just a list on the page with all of the scores and standings.

Camilleri and Gilliam are both 2 year starters on the line, Cam on O, Gilliam on D.
how do you have a lineman from Flat Rock over a kid from GI, view, or basically anywhere else????? seeing them play No one on their team stood out at all to be on here. Ratcilff if a exception. And Sandore or Samuels should've replaced lindamen
Why should Lindeman be replaced? Cause he is a freshman? He had 1200 yards rushing. I don't know how many TD's he had. The kid stood out.
Samuels had 1117 yards rushing and Sandore only had 1182 so why should they replace Lindeman? He clearly had over 1200 yards rushing. You can't overlook a player just because he's a freshman. I agree with Chris on his selections and I appreciate the time and effort he puts into this blog!
Smcc ran for almost 4,000 yards.
11:09 is right, nowak is a good guard. But only 1 from there? they had over 2,500 yards…
So coaches no longer vote on all league. They just put their own kids on what team they want. That explains some the the selections on the all league stuff.
Yes, it doesn't even go by position, there could be 8 QB's on the first team with 12 running backs.
GI RV didn't win the league or even runner up. Obviously they ddnt have the best players. Milan SMCC
Actually SMCC ran for more yards than Riverview did this season.
One offensive lineman from Riverview? They were only the top rushing team in the league and probably top 10 in the state in rushing and scoring. Those backs must be real good to do it with only 1 O-lineman.
Though I appreciate the fact you try to get as many kids involved as possible I guess I'm just old school and look at it as the highest honor to make it both ways. With that said you definitely do it better then the actual league does now. They've taken the voting out of it so the coaches just put their own kids on whatever team they want, and the number of first teamers is based on where you finish in the final standings. In my eyes some of them are glorified "coaches awards".
WOW-congrats to the young men that made this list. Your hard work has paid off. Not everyone can make it to this list so take it for what it is worth. Good season and effort by all.
I thought I was pretty clear about this, but maybe, just maybe they aren't on the offensive side because they're going to be picked for defense. Hmmmmmmmm.
Marko, Mitroka, Ziberi, Gilliam, and Camilleri all should be on this list. I understand, and agree, with your position on injuries but Marko,Ziberi and Camilleri werent injured. Pretty sure Camilleri as a junior has been a two year starter on the GI offensive line.
Lots of good kids out there. TJ Cook, Carter Paddy, who opened many holes for Sandore. McCormick for sure. Not sure the sophmore was deserving from SMCC. His dad must take pics for you. lol. He had a few good games. Got a few you missed, maybe they will show up on D.
Of course it's my Huron love but then again it could be that some coaches around the league believe Jacob Krug is the best lineman in the league. Tyler Olsen's numbers speak for themselves. Robinson's numbers are good enough for a mention.
Please note that I don't pick anyone both ways. They are either picked offense or defense. This actually gives more kids the opportunity to get picked.
Also, injuries play a huge role. If you missed a significant amount of time then other players need to be picked.
Maybe the GI players will make it as seniors. I'm sure you noticed it was senior heavy. It was almost all seniors because Sandore from Jefferson was right there at RB.
Chris, with all the Huron kids mentioned you think they would have been better. Or is it your Huron love? Think you missed a few GI kids as well.
#70 is Nathan Fleck a senior and #71 is Kyle Bausman a junior and he got honerable mention. Nathan Fleck is just fun to watch. One of the best football players in the league by far. And that's coming from a rival. Also Kyle Bausman will be a force to reckon with next year
theres like 5 juniors on GI who should be on here…
What about McCormick? I didn't really keep up with his stats, but I know that he was one of the better known names around the HL.
He was all-HL last year, now he's not even HM.. What's up with that?
Just a side comment; oh do I miss SITOFN..
-View Grad
Of course I'm crazy. Have been my whole life. I work in the city and do this stupid blog. Pretty sure that makes me certifiable.
What juniors should have made the 1st team offense?
Wow no juniors either! Your crazy Schultz.
Nope!
not one Airport player
McCormick will make it on defense. Other than that nobody else deserves it.
Being a Milan fan, a big fan, and also being new, some of this kids I don't know their names, but positions help, the one person that stood out to me is a linebacker/fullback from Riverview, he was #45. I thought he was a pretty solid linebacker. Just an opinion.
One of the most underrated players I think in the league that both the blog and Monroe News missed was #70 for CC. He beat everyone off the ball every snap when I watched him and got a good push. Him and #71 opened up the holes for Czarniowski to get all those yards. That's just my opinion but I think he was overlooked by many.
Suggestion: if you want to make a case for a snubbed kid to make the team, go ahead and list the kid you'd like him to replace. It helps us have a conversation and keeps the All-HL team from ballooning to 40 players.
Scott didn't even start all the time for his own team
NO Eli Scott?? He threw for over 1000 yds
Yikes NO Sandore??? HM?? Hopefully you pick him on D chris..he is one of the best 2 way players around!
Looook at all those seniors and then there's a FRESHMAN!!! Future is bright at Milan!
