Just thought I would throw out some thoughts regarding the 2010 football season. I know it’s a little early by why not.
Airport, the Jets must recover from the loss of Eric Redmoond to Monroe. Much of Airport’s staff will remain in tact and the Jets return some excellent talent.
Flat Rock, the Rams have been hit hard by graduation and will probably start a handful of Sophomores this season. Joe Pruchnicki will probably shorten his playbook this season if that is possible.
Grosse Ile, the Islanders will have to find a replacement for Dex Teen on offense. There is a boatload of returning veterans which should allow GI to be very competitive this season.
Huron, the Chiefs lose one of the best players in the league in LB Tyler Weclowski. Look for the Huron to run the ball more this season behind a big offensive line.
Jefferson, the Bears return a lot of talent and will once again be a big, strong, physical team. Jefferson will be capable of beating any team in the league.
Milan, the Big Reds simply reload every year. Veteran coach Steve Robb will have plenty of speed again this year and should be right in the thick of the league race.
SMCC, the Falcons backfield was hit hard by graduation but were probably the youngest team in the league last year. Look for the Catholics to reload and make another run to Ford Field.
Riverview, the Bucs improved steadily last year and appear poised to make a big jump this season. Look for Jeff Stergalas to have his team competing for a league title this year.
Obviously those are just some randon thoughts in alphabetical order.

OH the GI doubters remain....and I for one love it.
Underdog victory and consistent underestimation only provide fuel on the fire of the hypocracy of non-believers!
Not to mention great opportunity for crafty bloggers to raise the ire of the uniformed.
SITOFN
GI was also outscored by their opponents
GI beat all losing teams last year. Western 3-4(2 wins by forfiet), Riverview 3-6, Flat Rock 3-6, Huron 3-6, Ida 4-5. Some might consider that a good year but most would not.
Detroit Western wreaked havoc in the PSL? Two of their 5 wins were due to forfiets. They beat Kettering 12-8 (Kettering scored 40 points all year long). They beat Pershing 8-6(Pershing scored 70 points all year long). Know your facts bro.
A 5-4 record is not a joke but the HL is a rough and tumble league when you talk about Airport, CC, Riverview, Milan and Jefferson. You cant throw it around 40 times a game while not haveing a defense and expect to beat the good teams. the teams I mentioned above will be very good this upcoming year doing it mainly with a sound running game and defense. I just dont see GI being tough enough to get to 6 wins. GI will have to beat 2 of the big 5. I just dont see it. I have them at 5-4 again beating Western, Huron, Riverview, FR and Ida.
For 10:18, is 5-4 a joke? Is beating a Detroit Western team that wreaked havoc in the DPS a joke? If the line (assuming you mean offensive) is so soft, why did five of their backs avg. better than 6.0 yards per carry? Check your stats bro.
I agree anyone notice how white and clean the linemans jerseys were after the airport/grosse ile mudbowl? Ouch...
The problem over the past several years is that GI has put ABSOLUTELY NO EMPHASIS ON DEFENSE. You can't win without a strong defense. Although the Devils have a great amount of talent they will not ever return to the top of the heap without the D.
Well until GI's lineman stop bumping people and playing extemely SOFT. Than grosse ile aint going to win anything. It is a shame grosse ile has become whats it is because in the 90's they were pretty darn good and respectable, for the last few years they have been a joke. BRING BACK KEVIN WILSON!
For all you "winds of change / GI haters" out there....Mark you calendars - MAY 5, 2010 - SITOFN said:
Biggest surprise of the season will be the Dex Teen replacement for the Red Devils.....
The results will be self evident within the first two weeks of the season....sharpen your LB skills out there boys, bigger and stronger comin at ya.
Strap it up tight when playing GI..
i think the biggest surprise player this yr is going to be Brandon Potcova from Airport. he is going to be starting varsity QB as a sophmore and he is good, not the quickest feet but can scamble if needed. and a rocket arm too i might add.
