I'd have to put forth Concord vs. Hudson as the worst match up of the playoffs. Hudson will likely be up by 49 or 56 at the half. This one has ugly written all over it.

And Mr. NCAA, thanks for liking JLC in D5, but I think they have a pretty tough road and are far from a lock.

I will go with Traverse City Saint Francis vs Inland Lakes as the worst matchup in the playoffs. Rogers City put up 50 against the Bulldogs, I can't even imagine what TCSF will put up. ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (Grambus) http://michiganhsfootball.com/sreply/35473 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 12:57:56 PST http://michiganhsfootball.com/reply/35458/t/Tom-Markowski-playoff-article-out-already.html#reply-35458 TNTDyno wrote:

EGR not the greatest lock??

And while agree with TM that West Catholic is the team to beat, I couldn't disagree more that the only team that can give them a game is Marine City. I think MC is overrated, and also that WC will probably run into a couple of tough games just to get out of their district. Marine City is a good team, but I agree that nobody on their schedule warrants handing them a trip to Ford Field until they prove they can beat non-MAC teams. The last few weeks, the Mariners have come out very flat, and didn't even show up to play the first halves of games. If they can play 4 quarters like they played in the second halves of those games, they will be tough...but they can't take off the first two frames against real playoff teams and expect to win.

I will be happy with a semi-final appearance for Marine City. A trip to Ford Field would... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (completehomer) http://michiganhsfootball.com/sreply/35456 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 07:50:09 PST http://michiganhsfootball.com/reply/35455/t/Tom-Markowski-playoff-article-out-already.html#reply-35455

Besides out re-match with West Catholic…

I'll be very interested in seeing who wins the Hastings vs Byron Center match (with the winner getting EGR). Hastings is a power wing-t team and Byron Center has a group of former head coaches guiding them. Winner may give EGR a tough game. (Unless one team runs away with the rd 1 game, I don't see an upset over EGR.)

EGR will be facing a Forest Hills Eastern team on a 4 game losing streak. GR CC just beat them 37-14 last Friday. The Hawks seem to be in disarray. Could be worst match-up in the tourney.


I remember a Fruitport team (2001) that ran the Wing-T very well and they did indeed give EGR a hard time (purposeful understatement) and that was a Stuursma led team. Looking forward to Byron... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (EastGuRu) http://michiganhsfootball.com/sreply/35444 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 23:22:16 PST http://michiganhsfootball.com/reply/35443/t/Tom-Markowski-playoff-article-out-already.html#reply-35443

Yep ... always interesting ..... except some of them play another conference game this week ...

He must have forgotten that Kenowa has played EGR. I'm not here to argue with Muskegon people, but even Markowski has EGR ranked ahead of Muskegon and doesn't have Muskegon even getting out of the district against Lowell. I'm guessing that in his rush to get this out he just forgot that Kenowa and EGR played in wk 2. No matter, appreciate his insights. I should add that I think Muskegon will more than make it out of districts..... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (EastGuRu) http://michiganhsfootball.com/sreply/35426 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 20:10:21 PST http://michiganhsfootball.com/reply/35423/t/Tom-Markowski-playoff-article-out-already.html#reply-35423
I think that the Northwest Conference seemed down to me this year. That was going to be one of my few non categorized upsets for round one. I'll think about it though.

I was watching the Spartans and the Gators while making the playoff updates. That's why D6 ended at 196 instead of 192 on my sheet. D5 ended at 160. Somehow I got too caught up in the NCAA games when bringing up my division 6 breakpoint from down below. ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (Mr NCAA) http://michiganhsfootball.com/sreply/35423 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 19:59:35 PST http://michiganhsfootball.com/reply/35421/t/Tom-Markowski-playoff-article-out-already.html#reply-35421
EDIT: I also take exception to his stating that olsm "almost beat CC" yesterday. I was there. It was a very tough, and hard fought contest. But olsm's only scoring chance came on the Special Team's return to the CC 13 near the end of the game, and they were picked on 4rth down. Playing tough and almost winning are two distinctly different things.

i.e. MSU almost won their game... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (BiasedGuy) http://michiganhsfootball.com/sreply/35421 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 19:42:34 PST http://michiganhsfootball.com/reply/35419/t/Tom-Markowski-playoff-article-out-already.html#reply-35419 feeds@kickapps.com (Grambus) http://michiganhsfootball.com/sreply/35419 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 19:29:49 PST http://michiganhsfootball.com/reply/35417/t/Tom-Markowski-playoff-article-out-already.html#reply-35417 Muskegon, Grand Rapids Ottawa Hills, Caledonia, BBR, Inkster, Chelsea, OLSM, Highland Park, Flint Powers, Blissfield, and Mio. Those are my basic instinct ones without any research.
