The Scene, ahem......
Hi posters, two biggies tommorrow on the east side and again I feel they are both toss ups even though DLS had an easy ride getting to this point...the GP teams and SF not much competition just like I thought....how bad will that hurt them tommorrow??? Hard to say...but the old saying is a sword is tempered by fire....hot fire....I am agreeing with you that the Clarkston coach wants to keep Stevenson's offense off the field as much as possible to negate Fracassa, plus put on some serious defensive rushes and try to sack Fracassa as much as possible.....Stevenson's OL will not be intimidated by that though and I will bet Stevenson has more beef on the hoof on the OL and DL than Clark Kent has.....Plus Clarkie needs to score first....maybe even a 10-0 lead in the first quarter to put Stevie in a hole somewhat....Dakota has done that for years and years in their big heydays.....get a big early lead and then coast after that......I am hearing wild predictions on the crowd size too.....11-13000 possible from what I am hearing....they may be 3-4 deep in the end zones....Markowski, Beard, McCabe and a lot of press to cover this game....concession lines may be 60 ft. long...eat before you get there....and please all late comers dont come walking up into packed stands and try to squelch your way into a loaded row.....happens all the time....some nitwit gets there at 5 to seven and then expects a 50 yard line seat....no doubt the DLS crowd will be going to the game also....their game should be over at fashionable Ferndale by about 3:30 or so.....I will be on a Verskie watch.....Tickets $12.00 each to FF for the final games...heard that one too.....was ten bucks before.....
Perfect meal after FF next week - lamb chops, rice, greek salad, some garlic bread and two cold ones....love feta cheeese also on my salad.....might head over after to Ike's on Van Dyke at 17 mile rd or so for that....some great food there.....not a lot of choice on Harper avenue in the Shores too much anymore......Later, Tom and peace to all.....
The Scene, ahem.......
Tom,
Keith M. is a graduate assistant at Hillsdale where he finished up is degree. Also where are all the DLS slappy's at for the game against Inkster, Vikings may put up 40 on the slappy's after DLS played some weak playoff teams until now how do they get so lucky every year. CC will knock off Holt in a close defensive game. Now for the rumble in the burbs at Athens tomorrow night. If CHS can play ball control and keep the SHS QB off the field they have a good chance at pulling off the upset. If the SHS QB gets time it could be over quick this may be the game of the decade. Heard there may be more people at Athens than Ford Field on Sunday. Did anyone catch Alex M. for Northwestern last knight played well and had a lot of movement. Told everyone that the GURU did not know how to use him effectively. Anyways I have extra tickets for DVI, FF, and DP to join me at Athens for free since they are in hiding.
The Scene, ahem.......
Hi posters- some bits and pieces of eight....I dont know about you guys but I am sick to death of seeing Kwayme on television telling judges and prosecutors he cant remember if he or his wife paid the electric bill last month...and his wife handles all the money and he does not know how much they owe or dont have....yikes!!!! Finally Detroit is getting rid of riff raff at city hall and the council offices it appears....Dave Bing and Warren Evens - top tag team for Datryooote as Coleman would say...how about Robert Bobb too, he has cleaned up a septic tank in the schools and making people accountable for their actions including athletes..in short flunk a bunch of subjects and you will not play sports....enuf politics for today and Grosse Pointer thanks for your support but I shouldnt get so carried away sometimes....Throw strikes, are you a baseball ump or a FB official???? Just curious.....I am secretly hoping for a DLS/Rice Krispies game at FF and a Stevenson/CC game there too....Stevenson vs. CC...MAC RED vs. the catholic league - finally....like King Kong vs. Godzilla...wasnt there a movie called "King Kong vs. Godzilla" many years ago???? Also will enjoy seeing two of the best high school QBs in years tommorrow at Athens...sort of like Fracassa vs. Scarlett....who is going to put up the better stats??? Have been hearing Ike's BB team is the team to beat in macomb county this year...Brandon (Mr. Jump up and down) Lemley has a top cast led by Oakland bound Corey Petrus at 6-8 or so....Dont forget Rosie will be tough too......you have got to love Lemley when he jumps up and down and his tie is flying all over the place and his shirt comes out of his pants and is hanging down...good stuff.....word is Fraser High will win a FB game before the next 8 years or so...what is going on there??? 5 seasons in a row or so of 1-8 and 0-9.....at least they have a top notch VB team year after year...wonder what former BA coach Mario is doing now.....
Heard he is BA coach at a Lutheran school....Did Angelo Gust get the BA manager's job at Anchor Bay???? AB, Fraser, who is more hapless in FB????
PT Phily, keep up the good posting...I like your enthusiasm.....wonder whatever happened to Keith McKenzie former standout BB player at DLS...he went to Oakland and barely got on the floor, quit and left I hear.....Mike Bramos signed a fat contract to play BB in Europe...very fat I heard.......I have been scouring the internet trying to find an "Ampipe Bulldogs" varsity letter jacket like the one Tom Cruise wore in "All the Right Moves"....cant find one.....Craig T. Nelson was great as the hard a...coach in that movie.......see you guys tommorrow and remember "52 Stack Monster"....all game goal line defense!!! ha-ha...
Later, Tom and peace to all......
The Scene, ahem....
Tom, you just keep plugging away. I like the balance you bring to this forum. Some take themselves too seriously here.
The Scene, ahem....
tom, stick to high school sports and stay out of politics. 1) you don't have a clue and 2) this is not the place for you political views. this is a HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS forum.
Ineligible Players
Good job, Mr. Bobb. Keep going!!!!
Southwestern High....
From the School Board, to the School System, to School Sports, can't they get ANYTHING right ????
The Scene, ahem.....
Hi posters, getting close to sat and some high powered games....the news panel (Markowski, Beard, etc.) have all picked Stevenson unamiously and Inkster to beat Clark bar and DLS easily.....dont know about that....I think DLS has the potential to either win close or lose close...you make the call....same with Stevie Nicks and Clark Bar.....if Justice Wright was in there for Stevenson with his 100 yard running game Stevenson had the possibility of a rout.....wonder what the Clarkston coach has planned to stop Fracassa from doing his usual Tom Brady passing job.....his defense will be picked apart like chicken wings if he cant stop Fracassa from passing all over the field.....SE found that out....that game may be won in the trenches and does Clarkston have the beef on the OL and DL Stevenson has???? Yet, Clarkie beat MAC powers Romeo and Juliette and Dakota rather easily.....could we have overtime or a late FG to decide it....could be, would be, should be.....hope that the MHSAA has sent some decent officials to work this game and not buddies, pals and friends of their upper echelon....that wont work.....
CC vs. Holt at 1 p.m. too...hope they have some updates for that one at fashionable Ferndale....all these invitations for breakfast and dinners....I dont need more weight but getting out of parking lots can be a bear...at Stevenson with a packed crowd dont ever park up close to the field....will take you 35-45 minutes to get out of there..more if the boys in blue have only one car there....
Eastsider 91 the Gathering Place sounds like a good place to park but I hope they dont start towing cars...have seen that too....at Utica High people would park in the parking lot at Big Boys on 21 and Van Dyke and walk to the stadium....then they towed about seven cars one night a couple years ago.....$150 bucks to get it out of tow....
Was reading in the newspapers recently that high school and sports stadiums in general have the worst food in the world for you...hot dogs, salty popcorn, nachos with hi cal cheese, pizza slices, sugar loaded pop, yuk!!!
All you guys look me and Big Al up at the Stevenson 40-50 yard line area if you can...beeeeee civil!! will be wearing a dark blue stadium coat with black leather gloves, and a white nike swoosh hat on....lets mingle a bit....
Was reading in the macomb daily today a scoop on DLS's BB team this year....despite what the guru says this might be the weakest team he has ever had....not very tall and no dead on shooters like Fowler, McKenzie, and Marky......
Hmmmnnnn.....no body is going to beat the Detroit PSL, Saginaw, Flint, Pontiac in the regionals anyway.....Pershing might not lose a game all year this year.....whoda thunk about that???? Might just stop over at the Gathering place for a cold one just at that......
Hope is is not raining hard and be cold...I might have to sit in the press box next to Markowski!!!!
Later, Tom and peace to all.......
The Scene, ahem.....
Tom - BM, will also be at the SHS/Clarkston game Saturday, live all of 1.5 miles away, too good and easy to miss. I do owe you a hot dog or two from the Dakota/IKE outcome. Will try to find you at the game. I will be wearing a beige 3/4 length coat that looks like a Carhart (although is a Eddie Buaer) and a navy blue stocking cap, and jeans. Also will be wearing a scarf. A bit of advice - don't actually park at Athens, hard getting out of there. There is a restaurqant called the "Gathering Place" on the SW side of John R and 17 mile, less than 200 yards from the stadium entrance. Trust me, park there. Plus, great pizza and low beer prices on Saturday nights.
PT Game report Henry Ford CC vs Owens
Hello Everybody in forum land!! Last night ventured to the home of Blue Oval (Ford) to watch Henry Ford CC play Owens CC in basketball.
There were several young men I had coached or knew from high school and AAU that I wanted to see play.
These are the young men that want to continue there basketball careers at the next level.
The first 10 minutes very competitive at one point it was Henry Ford CC 20 Owens 15. Then Owens started having problems with turnovers and at the half way point the score was Henry Ford CC 43 Owens 29. At halftime the leading scorers for Ford were #21 De'Angelo Penman Robichaud abd #32 Terrance Tubbs Ypsilanti both had 8 points. For Owens there leading scorer was #24 Jonathan Dunn St. Johns Toledo he had 9 points.
The second half Owens tried to get back into the game by forcing turnovers and speeding up the game. A few times they got within 6 points but Henry Ford went into a modified delay and game and held them off.
Final score Henry Ford CC 89 Owens CC 77.

MC football
dryphoenix, I understand the enrollment argument, and maybe my comments were a bit harsh,and I appoligize for that, but I think that MC would be very competitive in the mac blue. I know that they would have to cross over to the red for a game, but for crying out loud, it's one game. Besides, in 2 years if they aren't winning they could always go back down to the gold. I guess my point is that if you have a good program, and they certainly do, why not challenge yourself a little bit more. As for MHM, I believe they have been moved up to the gold along with Lakeshore for next year.
marine city football
Fitzfan,
you make a good argument about the MAC Blue. The same thing could be said about MHM in the Silver too. But I think it has a lot to do with enrollment and not history. I think it would be better for a team to play better competition within and outside its conference. Clintondale, in conference, usually has a decent team and it was down (maybe because of the coaching change?).
Looking at the Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Blue, it appears MC is already playing with schools that have a min of 1000 students. if it moves up, it will be with mostly all D1 and D2 schools and its enrollment doesnt change.
marine city football
Hello forum, it's been a while, but got some info today that I just had to comment about. It seems that the cry babies at Marine City got their wish and don't have to move up to the mac blue for football next year. The principles in the mac decided not to take their AD's advice to move them up. Instead they force L'anse Cruese, a team that didn't even have a winning record to move up. Meanwhile Marine City sits there with a 10-0 two year conference record, and gets to beat up on weaker teams for at least 2 more years. I can't understand why the coaches at Marine City refuse to play better competition. Most coaches I know want to play better competition just to see how good they really are. It would seem that the coaches at Marine City only care about the W's so they can look back on their career and brag about how many wins they had. It's time to MAN UP Marine City, of course now you have at least 2 more years to grow a spine.
The Scene, ahem....
Hi posters, got a few at work to write in....just a few....pt phily will try to make it to Hambo's but isnt 10:30 a.m. just a tad early when the game is at 1 p.m.???
I plan to sit on whichever side has the most room at the 40-50 yard line at Fernie...no picks but I am favoring DLS in this one and Stevie Nicks at Athens....CC vs. Holt....havent seen either one but big question is how is the conference Holt plays in??? If they beat Rockie Balboa they must very goooooddd....no picks there.....Jerk Store your Marian VB team is a machine...reminds me a lot again of the Fraser team when the McGinnis sisters among others were there 4-5 years ago....Angie McGinnis still best VB I have ever seen in high school....two state championships in a row with them and a runner up I believe.....Bluewater Icon who is Mr. Letsyn??? Maybe he needs all the money he can get like 98.9% of the rest of us.....holy cow, they closed down Noonan-Pontiac GMC at 18 and VD in Sterling Hts....they sold Ponties and GMC for over 30 years over there...this recessions is something else....dont want the medical bill to pass: consider this hospital and doctor and medicaire bills went up 700% in the past ten years....ugh!!! Medical bills are going up higher than the budget at the Pentagon. Dont know the answer for sure.....still would try and pass socialized medicine like Canada has...they make it work for everyone and no you dont have to wait 11 years for an open heart surgery....this is all lies.....I havent had a 700% raise in the past ten years I will tell you.....and those copays are more sometimes than the actual cost of seeing the docs....whew!!!
In short dont go unless you are r-e-a-l sick....
Later, Tom and peace to all.....
PT Fashionable Ferndale DLS vs Inkster
Hello Everybody in forum land!! Monday I through out an invitation to all who were going to the DLS vs Inkster game at Fashionable Ferndale high school.
I have not heard from anybody so I am putting it out there again.
