Go Shores!!
November 28th, 2014 at 7:10 AM ^
People who only follow the east side of the state will be thinking Shores is the best team in the state...
November 28th, 2014 at 3:59 PM ^
Um, DeLaSalle destroyed Mona 44-8.
November 28th, 2014 at 5:19 PM ^
Ouch!
November 28th, 2014 at 11:40 AM ^
What's their QB situation? Heard their stud went down last week with injury.

Saw Mona Shores a few times at 7v7s this summer. Very good team with an excellent QB. Well rounded team that can dink and dunk you. You fall asleep and then they hit a big vertical play.
However, if their qb is in fact hurt I would guess that la salle takes a close game. La Salle has played very well as of late so it wouldn't be a surprise wither way. I'm gonna go against my better judgement and predict La Salle by a score. My gut says the Muskegon teams are clearly talented and should take their games but I feel La Salle is finally due a championship. Just a bit more well rounded, despite the fact I feel they have less talent then Mona shores.

Time to win their first football championship since the playoff system started back in '75.

As a native West sider I generally root for all teams from the West side to win. However, my wife is an SMCC alum, so I'm rooting hard for the Falcons to pull off the upset.
November 28th, 2014 at 8:19 AM ^
when Mona Shores sucked. their field was basically a gopher sanctuary and the game was over at half. how times have changed
November 28th, 2014 at 11:27 AM ^
when Muskegon Heights closed, it was a plus sports-wise for Mona Shores (and Muskegon). Not a coincidence.
November 28th, 2014 at 8:24 AM ^
Looks like Fox Sports Detroit will stream the Div 4 and Div 6 games live on their site. Anyone know how to catch the Div 2 game online? Go Shores!
November 28th, 2014 at 9:25 AM ^
From what I read it sounds like the 10am game and the Shores game are going to be on FSD. All Saturday games will be televised also
November 28th, 2014 at 9:25 AM ^
Oh yeah and Go Shores!
November 28th, 2014 at 12:05 PM ^
Damn, still need a way to see this in New York
November 28th, 2014 at 8:46 AM ^
Let's go Shores!
November 28th, 2014 at 9:04 AM ^
Go Mustangs. It's a trek to come down from the U.P.
My mom's hometown. They left 5am from Columbus to catch this rare event in Munising team Go Mustangs.
November 28th, 2014 at 9:11 AM ^
My dad's hometown as well. Have a cabin on Mirror Lake. Go Mustangs!

Gotta root for DeLaSalle. The head coach was my coach in high school back in the day. Good luck coach Verska!
November 28th, 2014 at 12:43 PM ^
Go Pilots! I know the DC. Good luck Coach Lewis!

I believe that we played against him when I played back in the day. DeLaSalle's RB is the son of Detroit Servite's RB when I played. Small world.

Munising barely staying in this game against Muskegon CC. MCC leads 7-6, but they're inside the 20, going in. It's just got the feeling that it's a matter of time before MCC busts this wide open.
November 28th, 2014 at 10:47 AM ^
Awesome that "the team who could win division 4 is up 1 in division 8"
November 28th, 2014 at 10:46 AM ^
Lets go public schools!
November 28th, 2014 at 11:04 AM ^
Sexton!
November 28th, 2014 at 11:07 AM ^
I was looking through MCC's season record and they are outrageous for a Div 8 school. I'd be surprised if they won by less than 40
November 28th, 2014 at 11:20 AM ^
Muskegon High alum who grew up right down the street from MCC. This year they probably could have played up a few divisions and fared pretty well. Crazy for a school that small.
November 28th, 2014 at 11:27 AM ^
The conference they're in now is mostly Div 4 teams I think and they crushed them all. Just eyeballing it, their average victory was probably about 40-6. They shutout Detroit Country Day too. Pretty crazy. They must be picking up a ton of kids that could be playing up several levels
November 28th, 2014 at 11:37 AM ^
Country Day was not very good this season. MCC is a very very good team though. I am surprised Munising has been able to hang in there with them. MCC's O is just wearing on them. It's really a numbers game and it looks like MCC has the numbers.

MCC beginning to flex its muscles and shake off the jitters. This one may be over soon.
November 28th, 2014 at 11:45 AM ^
Looks like MCC has just 'blown it open' as they say
November 28th, 2014 at 11:45 AM ^
Double post
November 29th, 2014 at 1:42 AM ^
Growing up in N.Muskegon my loyalty remains with the Port City. Go Shores! Go MCC!
November 28th, 2014 at 12:18 PM ^
Supportin the fellow UP schools, MCC might've had more trouble if the game was played up in the Superior Dome :p. Damn MHSAA should at least put one of the yooper school finals in Marquette instead of discriminating and making them all drive south of the bridge.
Oh well, good season for the Mustangs. Tomorrow we'll see if Ishpeming can make it three in a row (all over the same opponent too - Detroit Loyola). Really amazing how well the Hematities play against any competition, given their roster size barely gets above 20 most years.
Ishpeming's quarterfinal game got moved from their homefield to the Superior Dome because we got almost 4 feet of snow the week of that game. Would've been impossible to clear that off the field in time.
November 28th, 2014 at 12:36 PM ^
MCC won all 14 games this year by at least 10 points. Also, no opponent was able to crack double digits in scoring during the postseason.
Congrats to the Crusaders. Hoping the Sailors and my Big Reds can take home titles of their own.
November 28th, 2014 at 12:54 PM ^
I mean, when you have Division 2 or 3 talent and you're playing in Division 8, that will happen. Most the teams in Division 8 are two or three kids away from moving down to D9 and playing flag football.

Shores' offense looks good, but not looking like they're going to be able to stop DLS' on the other side
November 28th, 2014 at 2:07 PM ^
Let's repeat tomorrow Clarkston! Woo hoo!
November 28th, 2014 at 2:51 PM ^
Go Clarkston!
November 28th, 2014 at 2:38 PM ^
So....is De La Salle this good, or is Mona Shores just laying an egg this afternoon?
November 28th, 2014 at 3:03 PM ^
QB is injured. Lucky to be in this game after improbable comeback vs Saline.
November 28th, 2014 at 3:36 PM ^
Don't believe they played Saline. Saline is D1. They played Harrison last week. And yes QB is injured. Dislocated knee cap last week. Played today, although clearly not his best game.

They played saline and kicked the crap out of them. I believe it was the 2nd game of the season.

They beat Saline in the first game of the year... Get some facts and come back and see me

Sucks to get destroyed in the title game. They haven't been good on either side of the ball. DLS more than deserves the title
