Player of the Week

Brad Stewart from Riverview has been named the Huron League Player of the Week for the week ending 1/23/10.

Huron League Thoughts and Questions

Did the Huron League scheduler know something we didn't when he scheduled Milan and Huron the last week of the season?

Stewart and Kowalski or Richardson and Stockert?

Is there anything better than a rivalry game in the Huron League?

How many transfers does Milan have?

It sure would be nice to see SMCC and Milan's stats included in Maxpreps.

Baker and Jones make a nice tandem.

Do the referees really matter in the outcome of a game?

Great weekend of basketball for the Schultz household.

Huron League Thoughts and Questions

Two games into the league portion of the schedule and some thoughts and questions come to mind.

It seems like Milan's tough pre-season schedule prepared them for the average Huron League?

Will Jefferson manage to win a game in the league?

Is Flat Rock the biggest diappointment in the league?

Huron seems poised to win back to back championships.

Has Airport found a quality big man in Jimmie Fidler?

Can SMCC rebound from a 25 point loss to contend for the league?

Grosse Ile has very good balance but don't you need a go to guy to win games?

Riverview seems like their lacking a true point guard.

Who is the best coach in the Huron League?

Huron Makes Statement

There could be any numerous headlines after the Chiefs thrashed SMCC 62-37 in New Boston on Friday night. Huron was firing on all cylinders from early on in the 2nd quarter.

The Chiefs led 13-12 after one quarter and it looked like it was going to be a close ball game.

Huron opened it up in the 2nd quarter as the Chiefs hit five 3 pointers. Zac Richardson connected on one while Chiefs guards Caleb Tavtigian and Nick Corbiel each nailed two. Huron led 29 -21 at the break.

The 3rd quarter started the same way as the 2nd as the Chiefs outscored the Falcons 18-4. Dave Stockert had a monster quarter for the Chiefs. Early on in the quarter Stockert blocked a Falcon shot then raced down the court for a layup on a pass from Tyler Weclowski.

The 4th quarter was basically mop up time for the reserves as the Chiefs improved their record to 2-0 in the league and 7-0 overall.

In the much anticipated individual match up between SMCC's Keenan Wetzel and Huron's Richardson, it was really no contest. Richardson led the Chiefs with 22 points on a myriad of shots which included 3 three pointers. Wetzel finished the night with no field goals and one freethrow.

Edmond Shinavare led the Falcons with 11 points. SMCC drops to 1-1 in the league and 3-4 overall.

Huron Sneaks Past Flat Rock 67-62

If there were any thoughts that the game between Flat Rock and Huron would be anything but close those were erased as the Rams jumped out on the Chiefs to start the game 11-4.

Flat Rock led by seven at halftime 35-28. Andrew Scarton, Joe Conner, Robbie Kobylasz and Adam Schoen played flawless basketball in the half while Flat Rock's smallest player Dan Chickeral held Huron's Zac Richardson in check.

In the 2nd half Huron showed why they are the defending champs and league favorites as they erased the seven point halftime deficit behind the perimeter shooting of Richardson and inside play of Dave Stockert.

The game was close throughout the 2nd half as Scarton and Richardson battled to see who the favorite is for player of the year honors. Flat Rock was nearly flawless from the line during the game while Huron struggled a bit from the line. In the end Richardson's shooting and Huron's defense was to much for the Rams.

Richardson led Huron with 31 points while Scarton scored 24 and Schoen 16 for Flat Rock.

Huron League Thoughts and Questions

The Huron League portion of the schedule starts on Tuesday and I think we have found out some things about the league. I'm going to re-rank my order of finish after seeing a handful of games.

1. Huron
2. SMCC
3. Riverview
4. Airport
5. Flat Rock
6. Grosse Ile
7. Milan
8. Jefferson

Where are all the assists men in this league?

Is Huron better than last year?

How good is SMCC really going to be?

Should Riverview's Stewart be mentioned along with Wetzel, Richardson and Scarton as one of the leagues top players?

Can Airport make a run at the league championship with virtually no size?

Can Flat Rock put it together after a poor pre-season performance?

When will Grosse Ile get that first win?

Will Jefferson use their physicallity to get some wins?

Will Milan fair better in the league portion of their schedule?

Down Year in the League?

Is this a down year in the Huron League?

Currently the league is 13-21 in non-league play. Not real impressive. Two teams haven't won a game yet and two others only have one win.

There seems to be some individual talent in the league but what about the overall quality of teams?

Only One Week Until League Play

Well we're pretty much through the non-league portion of the schedule for the league teams and I know I am looking foward to seeing some league matchups. We will have to wait until next Tuesday to see those games though.

There are some games scheduled this week and it will be interesting to see how some teams play after the layoff.

SMCC hosts Divine Child on Thursday. Even though basketball is a game of matchups it will be interesting to see how the Falcons play against the Catholics from Dearborn who lost by 23 to Huron while being held to only 31 points.

Jefferson plays at Woodhaven and should be able to find out a little bit about their improvement against the Warriors. Woodhaven has beaten GI and FR while losing to Airport.

Huron will be playing at the swimming pool in Allen Park. The Monarchs from Cabrini have some decent size and should be able to test the Chiefs with a host of athletes.

Riverview will play a always tough to beat Wayne Memorial team in Riverview. The Zebra's have beaten Taylor Truman and lost a 5 point game to Belleville. J.J Hatzel's team looks like they will have a say in who wins the league championship this year.

Grosse Ile has a tough game on Tuesday against Melvindale. The Cardinals are coached by former Red Devil standout Ryan Vranasich.

So how are thigs looking out there? Is this what we thought the preseason would look like? Let everyone know your thoughts.

New Edition to Blog

I had plans to add statistics to the blog but realized this would be way to time consuming.

I decided to add the maxpreps widget to the bottom of the blog. This widget has the schedules and results for all the teams in the league.

Statistical leaders are available as part of the widget. Unfortunately the only players listed in the stats leaders are those whose coaches have submitted stats to maxpreps.

Currently five coaches have submitted their stats to maxpreps although not every game has been entered. If you would like your teams stats to be include please ask your coach to participate in maxpreps.

If you want to be proactive; volunteer to add the stats yourself to maxpreps so your coach doesn't have to commit his already limited time.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the maxpreps widget. Please submit any comments you may have on it.
