OT: MHSAA Playoffs Preview (Good Luck Thread)
Well it's that time of year again. MHSAA playoffs start this weekend, by no means will I be able to give a complete run down but here is my attempt at key games this weekend. Some games are good matchups, others simply involve Michigan recruits/targets. If I blatently miss one please let me know.
Division 1
Traverse City West (6-3) at Rockford (7-2)
Perennial state championship contenders both very solid programs historically. Should be a very sound football game.
Catholic Central (5-4) at Hartland (8-1)
Tough season for CC, but their record could be misleading due to a very tough regular season schedule. *key player* Wyatt Shallman Catholic Central RB/DE
Cass Tech (7-2) at Grosse Pointe South (8-1)
Cass Tech has so much talent it is hard to believe they finished 7-4. *Key players* Jourdan Lewis Cass Tech CB, Jayru Campbell Cass Tech QB, David Dawson Cass Tech OG.
Division 2
Farmington Hills Harrison (6-3) at Fenton (8-1)
Fenton enters the game ranked #10 in the state (current Michigan Punter Kenny Allen's alma mater) Harrison is always loaded with talent, and should be the favorite even on the road. *Key player* Lorenzo Collins Harrison RB (Class 2014)
Brother Rice (7-2) at Port Huron (7-2)
Once again Brother Rice should factor into the State Championship. Although I think Midland and Muskegon are the top teams in the division.
Division 3
Marysville (6-3) at Detroit East English Acadamy (7-2)
Michigan recruit Khalid Hill (TE) leads the PSL runner-ups into the playoffs.
Division 4
Chandler Park (6-2) at Gross Ill (8-1)
Michigan recruit Csont'e York plays for Chandler Park... Sorry I don't have more info.
Also, for a found this website that has complete brackets for all 8 Divisions.

As a Fenton grad I feel the same way. I know the team has been very good all season, but stepping up in talent in a big way vs Harrison.
October 25th, 2012 at 7:14 PM ^
I graduated last year and still have a bunch of buddies on the team.
They're not going to roll over for Harrison, they have the talent to hang with them. And Harrison players and fans have went out of their way to talk trash on social media and tell them how much they suck, they aren't taking Fenton seriously at all. Perfect recipe for an upset!

As a current Grosse Pointe South student, I am too excited for the game. However, I can tell you my friends on the football team realize their fate when I joke about a 70-0 loss. They all remember playing King last year. And Dennis Norfleet. Honestly, if you watch his highlight tape, about three or four plays are against South. They're 8-1...in the MAC Blue.
October 25th, 2012 at 6:55 PM ^
+1 for fellow South grads/students. Best record that I can ever remember our team having and the reward is Cass Tech. OUCH. I think we were Division II last year and somehow moved up to Division I.

Fixed thank you
October 25th, 2012 at 9:32 PM ^
and they had 3 losses when they won it all last year.

Here I am representing the University of Michigan on national television with Conan. Might make a good new OT thread.

Glad to see you've risen from the smoldering ashes of that class to go do bigger and better things

Slam dunk, that was awesome.
October 25th, 2012 at 5:28 PM ^
That is hilarious.

My buddy was the guy who did the fan correction on Darth Vader not saying "Luke I am your father"

The Port Huron game will be a good one. Brother Rice is favored but the fact that they are traveling and it will be a bad weather game (Port Huron runs nearly all the time and less likely to be bothered by rain and cold) makes it a nice set up for an upset. Oh, plus I have connections to PH :)
October 27th, 2012 at 1:23 PM ^
It was a track meet. Rice pulled it out 47-27. Neither team had a defense. That includes the LB heading to moo u. He was non effective. PH Chapman ran wild but we could not stop Rice.
Overall, a fun game to watch. Rice will not go far either.
October 25th, 2012 at 7:40 PM ^
It's been a while since I followed extensively my high school, but the 8-1 Saline Hornets will be taking on Bedford, and this should be a pretty good one - we only beat them by three back in September in a conference game. Go Hornets! Kick The Mules!
October 25th, 2012 at 8:18 PM ^
Tecumseh (my old school) and Chelsea are playing this weekend. Should be a good one, the Indians had their best season in years and play good D and Chelsea always puts out a good team. Go Indians!
October 25th, 2012 at 8:36 PM ^
Go Rice!
October 25th, 2012 at 9:41 PM ^
Shamrocks

Best of luck to the Harper Creek Beavers. They host Charlotte in the opener. The Beavers have a very favorable district pairing, possibly setting up a Regional test with Milan.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:05 PM ^
Division 3 is pretty loaded, but I still don't see anyone beating Grand Rapids Christian led by Michigan recruit Tommy Doles
October 25th, 2012 at 9:40 PM ^
October 26th, 2012 at 11:55 AM ^
I think Drake Harris is a superior player to Doles...
October 25th, 2012 at 9:30 PM ^
Go Miners and go Hematites! The UP gonna be reignin gold (ok maybe iron) all over your troll asses!
October 27th, 2012 at 1:07 AM ^
And St. Ignace, Menominee, and Kingsford!

Probably doesn't need to include David Dawson anymore.
October 26th, 2012 at 11:57 AM ^
Thanks for the info and the link. Now I can see my alma mater's path to the championship...
October 27th, 2012 at 12:22 AM ^
No problem... Hope your alma mater does well. Glad to see mine upset Farmington Hills Harrison tonight!
October 26th, 2012 at 12:19 PM ^
I graduated from the esteemed Clarkston High School in 2009, so, Go Wolves! 9-0! Bring that shit home. Lake Orion sucks. Sorry, I had to.
October 26th, 2012 at 2:02 PM ^
Go Howell
