Week 1 Picks

• Good luck to all Huron league teams tonight lets go 8-0

• Yes CYO is down. A few years back there were 4 teams at each level. Now there are
  2 at the upper level and 3 at the lower level, which includes 4th graders now. It did not include 4th graders a few years back and still had 4 teams. The CYO league of Monroe county has dissolved and they have joined Toledo CYO league. This is football only at this point.

  It is a shame, my kids played CYO and it was a great league. With injuries and all the concussion scare, numbers are down. I'm sure its not just here, probably across the board.

  With that being said, kids, especially in high school aren't going to put their bodies through that unless there is some winning going on. Much respect to the kids that do play, even if program is losing.

• 8:06, when you say "many kids in our area teetering on playing football at all anymore" it surprises me. Any idea if the CYO youth football participation numbers are down lately?

• I don't disagree with CC having a losing record this year. I'm hoping they can stay within 30 tonight.

• SMCC 3-6. 3-4 in the league. There are some damn good teams in the league this year and they are on a down season.

• Keep an eye on Jefferson this year. They have some great weapons. Sovey and Humphrey will produce a lot of TD's this year, hopefully they will prove to be good enough to be discussed on this blog, regardless of team record or anything else.

  Good players should be given kudos no matter what school or record.

  Good Luck Huron League.

  Go Bears !!!

• Not sure what SMCC was thinking, scheduling PW and LCC on a down year. Numbers already down. (355) school enrollment. Football is a tough sport to be motivated for when you get your ass kicked. PW scrimmaged Ithaca last week and actually beat them. Some years you got to take it easy, even at SMCC. I know many, many kids in our area teetering on playing football at all anymore, ugly games won't help that decision.

• Errrr Chris picked them 2nd. Sounds like Parma Western vs GI should be a good one then.

• You guys have no idea how much you're sleeping on Grosse Ile. 4-5 last year with some fluke losses, especially that Riverview game. Let's not forget that they only lost two players so they're returning 11 players on each side of the ball with experience and skill. They have a QB who has unreal potential to terrorize the league this year in Josh Sheppard. From what I saw in the 4-way scrimmage QB Sheppard and WR Moores have a connection like no other. Watch out. Beware of the sleeping giant. #GoDevils 🔥

  • I'm positive they lost more than "two players" last year...

    Don't sleep on anyone in HL week 1 will tell us a lot about the year to come but not everything... The blog lives

    Thanks Chris for keeping it going

• I think i said i hope we do?? my point was i was in the same position the last 2 years. Its awesome to have senior leaders and makes great young men which is more important that wins in loses in the long run. I think that Jefferson has the potential to surprise teams and i think it would be great if they do
