I mentioned it sometime earlier in the season, but I am still always surprised by this. After scanning Snoozes Maps, there are NO Kalamazoo Schools in the
playoffs in ANY Division. For the size of this city, that is really unbelievable. Some of the surrounding communities continue to put out quality football:
Mendon, Three Rivers, Schoolcraft, and at least this year, the Portage schools. But, within Kalamazoo proper, not one school! What a shame.

How many Kalamazoo teams are there? I can think of 4 only off the top of my head right away: Kalamazoo Central, Kalamazoo Loy Norrix, Kalamazoo Christian, and
Kalamazoo Hacket. The family drove past KC on the WMU visit 8 days ago.

East, you forgot about Climax-Scotts, the ONLY school in Kalamazoo County that plays non-conference games and just happens to be 9-0.

I suppose if you want to draw a 20 mile radius from downtown you could say yes, but I was really talking about the "city" of Kalamazoo. Maybe I'm being a bit harsh here. It's not as if Kzoo has NEVER had good teams. And, maybe the folks from Portage really consider themselves Kalamazoo (maybe not). Maybe the Climax folks too for all I know. I don't want to come off as bashing the good people of Kazoo, I just don't understand why their High Schools are not heard from more in football. |

There are more in the county...Parchment, Schoolcraft, both Portage schools, Comstock. So there are 4 teams from the county in the tournament. But from the
city itself 0.

You did include Mendon and Three Rivers in your original post, both much farther from Kalamazoo than Climax-Scotts.

Only two teams made it from five teams from Kalamazoo County - Portage Northern, Portage Central, Gull Lake, Climax-Scotts and Schoolcraft.
Bring back my show, "The Arena", to Battle Creek, please!!! Call my boss! |
