Tommy,
I agree with you 100%. It should be a competetive division, all teams being pretty equal, especially with Glenn, Wayne, and Churchill all having decent seasons last year. |

For now this has to be the most wide open divison ... Canton is down, Churchill has to prove they're going to be a consistent success, Franklin went deep
in last year's playoffs and Plymouth I believe has a new coach .... Will Glenn ever rebound to being the power we're used to?

I'll take Franklin.
Good depth at the back positions and Defense should be great. Coach Fortin |

Not only will this be the most hotly contested division in the league, top down it should also be the best. There is no one in this division anyone can look
past and almost certainly the division champ will not be able to run the table in league play.

The fact is that the KLAA South is wide open. It is the new MEGA Red for at least this season. I will start a forum about this on Mlive and see what
others think.

Wow,
Looking at this collection of teams ... When I started doing this I would have never though John Glenn would where they are compared to the rest of this division.

Canton - who will pass more than in previous years...
Aside: I think Searn asked the question on the NCAA boards, "Does any college coach produce more, results with less, than Bielema - HC of WI?" I wonder if the same applies to the Franklin coaching staff. |

Well Coach, My original thoughts were simply to give props to the Coaching staff at FHS. It seems after many seasons of tepid, at best FB, they have turned the
corner of late, giving games to BBR among others.
From numerous seasons of mediocre (being kind here) performance, it seems that Franklin is playing some hard nosed FB of late. If I know anything about that district it seems that Franklin is one of the more mature/developed neighborhoods. Based upon probability of student influx (static) the common variable within the last few years is coaching. That is not to mean that talent is poor, but given their 20 or so history/records, something has changed. Given the maturity of the neighborhoods, I assume that the recent improvement prob correlates to changes in coaching. Unless there are some studs that have suddenly appeared on the scene, then coaching appears the answer. If that is case I assume more lackluster seasons to follow once the studs are gone. Given the maturity of area, I think it unlikely there is going to be an influx of new high level talent. If it is because of talent, then my guess is that it will run a finite course and FHS will resume their uneven season history. i hope that is wrong as I would rather see any Liv school other than Stevenson find regular season success. I guess you can look at the glass half full or empty depending upon your viewpoint. Good luck to Franklin, and Churchilll in Livonia this year. |

explanation of your original post.
I will give you a brief reason why Franklin is turning around the past 4 to 5 seasons, Kelbert is staying as a head coach and he keeps the Freshmen and JV coaches close to the program meaning, he has no outsiders from other areas. (They are all running the same plays and keeping an agenda) The other big reason, (especially in the next 4 seasons or longer) the Junior football league is doing exactly what the high school is doing. (same blocking schemes, same plays, same philosophy) This will work but it takes some time. There are many high schools that will not give a time or day for the Middle schools or vise verse. That is just plain dumb! We were at fault for that for many, many years and finally you will see a big difference. I am very proud of the high school staff and the same goes to the Junior league. By the way, all programs have many studs, it only matters if they are in the right positions and if they are willing to make sacrifices for their team and to better their own skills to make it to the next level. Regards, Dante Fortin |

Thanks for the thanks, and I am glad you took it in the spirit that it was written....even if I did belabor the point. What can I say? Worked hard yesterday,
worked out, had a coupla beers, and voila! Repeated points.
It seems as if there is now a system in place that should lead to continued success. In the past it was either a roller coaster or just lackluster seasons. Good luck to the Pats. |

I believe that both Franklin's and Stevenson's coaching staffs are the best in the area. When Franklin doesnt have the best talent in the world, the
coaching staff still is able to get them into the playoffs. When they have a good team, they are very good, like last year. maybee didnt have the best talent,
but certaintly had a big playmaker with Fortin. Last years seniors always seemed to be better than this years graduating class, but if Fortin stays healthy the
entire year, expect them to be playing well into November. But if he does get injured like last year, expect the coaching staff to still get the job done,
because of this i choose Franklin. Plus, i want that cross town rivalry game between Stevenson and Franklin in week 8.

that will run me over (i weigh about 270) if i get sloppy. its tough to play d against, and it always a hard nosed battle in the trenches. i will be surprised
if the spread surpasses 7 points, and it'll definitely be a shootout.

During the Regional game, 10-7, Franklin had the ball in stevenson territory with about :47 seconds left in the game, when pat york intercepted a pass to seal the game. Expect this game week one to be a huge one. |
