Practice Starts Monday

Basketball practice starts around the league and state tomorrow. Each team will begin practice tomorrow with the hopes of claiming a league championship.

SMCC, Jefferson and Milan are all opening the season with new head coaches. Randy Windham of SMCC has the biggest shoes to fill by replacing the legendary Ray Lauwers. Most people around the league seem to think that Windham will do an excellent job at SMCC. In early season fan polling the Falcons have been tabbed as the team to beat.

Huron returns a solid core of veterans and the Chiefs hope to defend their Huron League title behind third year head coach Jim Kalbfleisch.

Flat Rock returns the reigning player of the year in point guard Andrew Scarton and figure to have a say in who wins the league.. The Rams also return to valuable pieces to their squad in Joe Conner and Robbie Kobylasz.

Riverview is another team that returns a group of veterans and the Pirates made sure they played their usual tough summer schedule that always prepares them for the Huron League.

Airport and Grosse Ile figure to be improved this year and both teams should have solid guard play this winter.

Look for a handful of posts from this blog each week in an attempt to add a little something extra to the season.

Hey Folks

Hopefully the basketball blog will be as well received as the football blog was. Let's remember a few things here though. Let's not turn this into an mlive thing where people just trash others. This is meant to be a fan site and we need to keep things friendly. That doesn't mean we shouldn't be critical but we need to be repectful as well. Have fun all and remember keep it clean the Blog Master is watching.

Huron League Voting

We have a while before the preseason vote is over for the fans pick for league champion. It looks like it is a three horse race between SMCC, Flat Rock and Huron.

The Rams return the reigning Huron League Player of the Year in Andrew Scarton. SMCC has a lot of players back, an excellent JV team moving up and Keenan Wetzl. Huron returns most of their team including guards Zach Richardson and Caleb Tavtigian.

One team I wouldn't overlook is Riverview. They have some solid players returning and some excellent size.

Anyway, keep voting people! The Season starts soon.

Coming soon........
