We all know EGR, OLSM, will be favorites to win D3, But what other schools could make some noise come playoff time and challenge these powerhouse schools. I
will name 5. 1.Chelsea 2.Dewitt 3.Adrian 4.St. Joes. 5.Lahser. others maybe to consider are Airport, East Lansing, Warren Fitzgerald, and Haslett. Any
other schools I might be forgetting, let me know. Thanks. Cant wait until the season starts!!!!

Div. 3 Darkhorses | #2 | ||

It looks like Harrison will be in Div. 2. I don't think they'll have the horses to contend in either 2 or 3 however.
Some other D-3 possibilities: Mt. Pleasant, Fruitport and, if they don't go Div. 4, Clintondale and Marine City. I'd actually put the Chelsea vs Adrian winner as a favorite, not darkhorse, up with the winner of the Week One OLSM vs EGR game.

Mt. Pleasant has a very good player in Jonny McCann...the rest of the team is a little bit on the weak side though. I would have said Goodrich could kind of be
in this discussion if they qualified, but not after the Boisture transfer.

I agree, I think the Adrian vs Chelsea winner will show alot of us who can contend with EGR, and OLSM for the 09 playoffs. I really feel it will be Chelsea and
EGR in the finals, Adrian and OLSM have real good playoff runs though

Adrian/Chelsea | #5 | ||

You could end up with Adrian and Chelsea in the same district, thereby negating a deep playoff run for one of them.

Dewitt will return most of their starters from last year. They scrimmage East Grand Rapids. While they never show much, it should be a good indicator.

Welcome to the board King and Baller ...
Not sure EGR qualifies as the "darkhorse" in this topic ... but I think most agree they are a big favorite (so what else is new?) ....

Why should a team | #9 | ||
|
Let me set the record straight since some teams mentioned in this thread definitely won't be in D3 since they are outside the historical range so far on
updated my average division division spreadsheet.
FHH = D2 Marine City = D4 Mount Clemens Clintondale = D4 Goodrich = D4 I would go without any info: 1. EGR 2. OLSM 3. East Lansing 4. Chelsea 5. Adrian 6. Dewitt 7. St. Joseph 8. Stevensville Lakeshore 9. Carleton Airport I would have to check on where I would put Mt. Pleasant and Fruitport. I usually like to wait on scores first though before making official ratings. I forgot a few teams such as Haslett and Warren Fitzgerald but that's my list for now. Detroit Crockett is now a potential D3 team as well as they are 1 team below the average mark currently. |

Prepseer, I forgot, Adrian will more then likely will be in the same district, with either Airport, or some other team from the Downriver league like AP, or Carlson, depending on if they make it or not, but look for Adrian vs Chelsea in the district final again like in 07 |

I think if Chelsea can put together an O-Line, they will contend. There's a program that is due. They are starting to look like Allen park of the 90's
and early 00's

Y ou are exactly right, If the OL can band together, they will be there, the defense will need to step up, as the QB, Nick Hill wont be able to do it alone!!

Wouldn't Crockett be Division 4 with an enrollment of 785? Summer is here. I see Prepseer has his list out. What do you think?

Basically it is 50/50 on whether Detroit Crockett ends up in D3 or D4. Detroit Crockett is team #234 right now assuming the co - op programs turn out like I
have them. Here's the historical last team in D3 list with 2008 being on top. Sorry but I had to switch to bbcode to post today.
D3 239 236 221 245 234 223 237 232 224 225 231.60 = Average |

While East Lansing has a very good coaching staff, they lost a lot of talent from last year. They do have a young speedster, but without outside help I
don't believe they have the horses to match last years team. You may have them ranked a little too high.

Stevensville-Lakeshore | #16 | ||
|
Based on their performance at the Michigan State 7 on 7, I'm moving Stevensville-Lakeshore high up on my Div. 3 contenders. We might be looking at a EGR
vs Stevensville-Lakeshore semi-final.

Did prepseer have Southfield that highly rated in their division when they went 58 - 0 or some such outrageous number after those 7 on 7 camps ended a few
years ago? To hear it on mdead they were state champs before the season even began and had a losing real season to boot. Basically I put zero stock in the 7 on
7's. Even the scrimmages can be misleading unless you compare year over year results with the same coaches so how much more so for the 7 on 7's?
Maybe TNTDyno can confirm this, but I was told that Stevensville Lakeshore lost more than St. Joseph's did. I have a lot of respect for the EL train regardless of how many players that they lost. |

Prep, do you know what teams they threw against at MSU? Were their linemen at the Linemen's Camp?

Lakeshore | #19 | ||
HS Footballer wrote:Stevensville-Lakeshore played against Mason, Wayland Union, Brother Rice and L'Anse Creuse. I only saw them against Brother Rice. They looked very good. It was BBR's toughest game, and they played a much tougher schedule than Lakeshore. I realize you can't judge a team based on one 7 on 7 contest, but Lakeshore showed me enough that I'm convinced they belong in at least the darkhorse category. Now, if Lakeshore bombed out in their three other games, then maybe their Rice performance was a fluke. Or, maybe BBR is no good. LOL! I don't know if their linemen were at the Linemen Camp. |

Lakeshore seems to be solid every year, thats a good pick, if thats how it pans out. But Look for Chelsea to make that jump, I have a feeling its there year,
and this is coming from an Adrian fan!!
