So not one of you so called pigskin prognosticators picked SMCC to win…hmmmm….
Chris looks like you played for the Packers because of the way Flat Rocks Uniforms looked back in your day.
Monroe is going to get killed!!
SMCC has everyone back
Glad to hear SMCC has everyone back. Should be a total battle. Be assured Milan isn’t overlooking SMCC. And I don’t think anyone cares to win a game when guys are out. This will be a battle. SMCC is legit and Milan knows it. Gonna be a great HS Football game.
Milan Fan
I noticed 2 teams have played 4 games Edon and Ann Arbor Huron how did they picked a extra game.
Ohio starts a week earlier than Michigan. A2 Huron was a typo
Do you guys really think the Milan game will be that close missing all those players? I see a Milan blowing them out.
Smcc has no shot! Milan is a bigger school with better athletes. Milan wins big
Lets be honest, even if SMCC has all their guys back, this is going to get ugly. SMCC has never been known to defend the pass and McElvany, Milan QB, can run or throw. SMCC has never seen a d-line like Milan’s either. SMCC’s Huron League Championship dreams die here. It is time to focus on the D7 playoffs
Milan’s a good team but this team isn’t as good as Milan has been in recent years
Milan 42, SMCC 21
you sure about that
Dosent look like Smcc lost Milan’s Huron League championship dream is lost time to focus on d4 playoffs
Wow Shultzie!
What was your 1983 record?
Was Clebek the head coach back then?
We were 5-4. Clebek was the coach. We only gave up 82 points all year. Lost to 9-0 Jefferson in OT 20-13. Lost to 2nd place GI 12-6. We had some really good players. I was not one of them.
I thought Carlson had the best team in the league that year, but they finished 4-5. CC was all juniors that year and finished 4-5. The following year they picked up all state Kevin Oliver from Monroe High and went 11-1. They lost in the State Finals to Wyoming Park.
Go figure !
GO BUCS!!!!!
This is the start of the 3 way tie for the HL champions at the end of the season-SMCC, Milan, and Riverview. Milan beats SMCC tonight, Riverview beats Milan, and SMCC beats Riverview. However, Airport could sneak in a win over Milan to spoil their chances.
With Hammond, Airport is a team to contend with.
For sure. He’s a great 2 way player. That Airport/Milan game has been a tight one for years now. Airport will battle with them and really play a role in the outcome of the HL.
Hammond will be an All State football player if he stays healthy. After what I saw last week on the live streeam vs. SMCC, he is as good as they come
I’ve been worried about this for awhile and I’ve seen it before. Milan wins against CC. Good teams don’t tend to lose 2 in a row so Riverview has to play a pissed off Falcons squad. Following week, Milan has to play a View squad hungry to take an L out on someone.
I’m rooting for my Pirates to keep their regular season win streak going but I’d be lying if I didn’t say I’m rooting for a CC win and then a week between a loss and having to play Milan.
Huron could beat SMCC, too
They have to!
Huron WILL beat SMCC. Their DC has shut the Falcons down twice. He has shut them down more times than anyone else in school history.
That’s a good point too. Huron always battles SMCC. I just hope Covid doesn’t derail every team in the HL.
I said that wrong. I meant I hope Covid doesn’t affect anymore teams in the HL. Or the other leagues for that matter.
No shot this year Huron is just not the team they were last year and Smcc is better then last year Smcc will blow huron out
