| Glad to see the White played well and represented. Was at the LO/Harrison game - some of the absolute worst officiating I have seen at a football game at any level. Ridiculous. Don't know the final tally but my guess would be Harrison 35 penalties, LO 3 or maybe 4. Admittedly, I'm an FHH fan but it was just out of hand. Harrison had their way with the Dragons through the 1st qtr and suddenly you would have thought there was only 1 team on the field. In spite of the horrible officiating, the other thing that kept the game even close in the 2nd half was the play calling on the part of Harrison. I think they ran the same set of plays 90% of the 2nd half. With the talent and athletes they have on that team, it's a shame Coach H can't seem to move beyond his 1970's offensive play calling and actually USE his athletes and run plays that exploit the talent he has. Last year, like this year (and many in the past) we win in spite of his play calling, not because of it.
I'm glad we won but it should have been 40-7, not 28-7. hopefully things change going into the playoffs, but I'm not holding my breath.

| P. Line was amazing against my beloved Wolves. They ran off of right tackle all day and finally wore us down. It was one hell of a battle as both teams took turns scoring.
Clarkston had it chances as a number of receivers were able to get behind the Oxford defenders. Wolves over threw open receivers and the receivers dropped some toward the end of the game that could have tied the game.
By the end of the game, Oxford became the unstopple machine. What a game to watch. It was really fun.

| I was surprised by:
Athens/Southfield low scoring game. I felt both teams would put more points up in what turned out to be a defensive battle! Southfield averages about 30 pnts in the OAA White....wa happened???
Pontiac/Farmington game... Farmington averages giving up 21 pnts in the white....allows 34 points from the phoenix. What happened to the D? Nice job by the Phoenix "O" to ring up some big time points on the falcons.
Oxford does a tremendous job against a seasoned Clarkston D with a good line backing corp.....that wildcat ground game is unstoppable. If the wilcats are healthy they could surpise in the playoffs!!!

| I can only speak for the Athens Southfield game.
I think this is kind of how it went if I remember correct.
Both teams went right down the field their first possessions. Southfield got the TD, while Athens got to 1st and goal, got driven backward and had to settle for a field goal.
Athens narrowly missed blocking a punt. Then drove and turned the ball over. Athens then blocked the next punt attempt. I believe they missed a field goal. Got Southfield to punt again and scored a TD.
There then were like 3 or 4 turnovers in the 2nd quarter, Athens turned it over twice in the red zone, including a pass in the end zone right before halftime.
2nd half saw Southfield grind a drive out for a TD to take the lead. There were a couple more turnovers.
Athens mixed in another field goal.
Big play of the game
Southfield around the 25-30 of Athens, hit a slant behind the LB's receiver was 1 on 1 with the safety, and the safety made a shoestring grab and the receiver was marked down at the one. As the play developed I thought it was a sure TD, and that safety made one heck of an effort at a tackle. Next play Athens recovered a fumble.
Seemed to me Southfield abandoned the running game. They were consistently getting into Athens secondary with run plays. Seemed like the offensive line got tired, and couldn't block effectively halfway through the 3rd quarter.
Lots of turnovers, I dont know how many for sure, but each team had to have 3-4.
Athens has 3 of their RB/playmakers go out with injuries and not return to the game.
Overall, sloppy game, lots of exciting playmakers on the field. 2 bend but don't brake defenses last night.

| Oh and I am very surprised Oxford put up 42 on Clarkston.
Obviously Oxford can play some football, and I will have to make it a point to see them, as that's one of the few schools I haven't this season.

The game was much better than the score showed. The only problem with your FHH team they have no discipline, and your (4) Div I stars think they can play above the rules. 5 unsportsmans penalities for (2) talking back to an officials, (1) Pushing LO player into an official after the play was dead, (2) late hits on players not envolved in the play. I give the FHH team credit for the win, but would not be happy or be proud of the way you won. Seems more like the inmates rule acylum in FHH. If it wasnt for a holding penalty late in the game it would have been 14 -21 game with 3:00min left and your offense was done. Your (4) stars all on the ground with cramps. Would have been interesting last 3 minutes if the last LO score wasnt called back.

| Clarkston v Oxford one of the most enjoyable games I've seen in a while. Line might be the most physically dominating player at the High School level I've ever seen. Clarkston had many chances win it but couldn't stop run game of Oxford.
Two non-Line observations:
1. Oxford QB did a great job on play-action
2. #5 For Clarkston is good
Congrats Oxford.

| Dragons - I would expect your view of the game to be much different than mine, athough I do take exception to some of your comments. I'm sure you felt the 4:1 ratio of penalties against FHH was fair and warranted, but not really the case. If you were to use that same discerning view when watching your own team (the Boy Scouts they appear to be vs our inmates) you would have also seen an incredible display of holding, tackling and tripping of our a few of our so called "4 stars" - and that was by your offensive line. While our players did receive a few penalties for talking back to the refs, it was after they had reached the point of frustration by the obvious no calls by the group of 4 blind mice. Doesn't excuse the players for their actions, but certainly sheds a different light on the inmates. Late hits and the such happen when you have a team that's focusing on playing to the whistle (and sometimes beyond) - no apologies for those. Cheap shots are another subject and you won't see those from our guys.
As for the score being close if you hadn't been called for the holding penalty - get real. the ONLY reason you were in the game at that point was due to the poor officiating and lackluster offensive scheme from the Harrison coaches. Think about this - on 3 consecutive FHH drives, the called penalties on us on 2nd down and put us into 3rd and long positions, at which point we converted on ALL 3 and then, lo and behold, another penalty to back us up further to ensure the game didn't get out of hand. Did you see us get inside the 10 yd line of LO and not score? Nope, but if memory serves, it happened to you guys 3 times. Apparently the ref's were only willing to go so far...
Last - as for the 4 stars all cramping up on the ground at the end. We have 1 player who cramps up EVERY game and is probably only good for about 1 1/2 qtrs but it doesn't appear to stop us from winning. If you somehow find this as a source of pride for LO, as though you had something to do with his cramping - more power to you.
I'm sure your view and opinion differ from mine on any/all of the points above, and that's fine. We both believe in our teams and support them. I'm headed over to the asylum now for a meeting with the team therapist - why don't you bring your boy scouts by and we can all share in a group hug.

| Vince810,
While the officiating was very poor in that game, FHH seems less disciplined this year....making numerous mistakes ( personal fouls, roughing the punter, too many men on the field, delay of game). I guarantee we see an excessive celebration penalty soon. That needs to straighten out come playoff time. They have a ton of talent, but often times you see them clowning on the sidelines and unfocused. However, I'm a big fan of the way #20 plays and quite a few other players too.
As far as the playcalling, I've seen a lot of teams this year and very few vary their playcalling at the high school level. I would like too see FHH use the spread a little more, throw some short quick passes, not using play action fake every time, to soften up the "D"

| Vince,
Fist off I have to agree with Plato, #20 is a stud for a sophmore, I look forward watching him for the next couple years. Hopefully he doesnt change and start acting like #5 and #16 on your team.
As for the game and the score, those things you mentioned aabout putting yourself in 3rd and long is what happened, you talked, pushed, ran into, and moved. Those penalties were not in question, they were obvious and real, so there is no blame on the officials but your own team. Also there is such a thing as "adjustments" made by the opposing team. A couple tweaks on the defense made a huge difference in the 2nd half.
Fully agree with you, you believe in your school and I believe in mine. The (2) schools are both great football schools but play totally different styles of football. You can have your inmates, I will take my boy scouts anyday.
See you next year,
Dragons35

I have to disagree with you on #16. I've seen him well over a dozen times and is not only a fantastic player, but one who plays with a lot of class and usually doesn't act like you are saying. He may have done something in the game but it would be totally out of charecter. In fact he is similar to #20 in that regard.

| Im thinking........
Anybody remember a team cslled "Csnton"???? They looked unbeatable and rolled up the score on every one .... and CC as well.....along comes these teams called plymouth and Lk Orion and....
I guess my point is Harrison seems to be so much better than everyone else Div 2.....well when the playoffs start what will happen? Everyone will be starting off 0-0 and looking to spring the upset on Harrison...Look Out!?!?!

| My pick is Wyandotte Roosevelt.....or Oxford, and not because im from Oxford, because its had to beat the same team twice in the same season....Just ask L.O. and Clarkston......they might draw each other again in the first round this year....Besides anyone remember the state semi final in jackson Mi. when FHH was suppose to crush everone and Oxford won 48 to 38 in 1990.....

| I do remember that 90 game with fhh and Oxford. However this years fhh team is much better than that one...
they were pretty one dimensional on offense then and i thought those teams were evenly matched. As far as beating a team twice, you would also remember then that fhh squashed Oxford in 98 and did the same thing in the semi final playoffs that year

| I don't know if this years Fhh team is better then 1990 or not they also were comming off several years of state championships and divisions titles. i know, the question that was proposed was who could beat them this year in the playoffs....We have a history against Fhh and we we are mostly on the losing end of all those other games,and it don't matter....only this year matters and if we play.

| Oxford will be seeded too high to play FHH right off the bat. Certainly possible in the 2nd round (districts). More likely Adams at 6 n 3 could play FHH 1st game. Right now it looks like B Groves get the honor to play Harrison thats if they don't loose to Seaholm this wk......and that could happpen.... if it does Adams could be the unluckey team to get those honors. I hope NOT ....Jeeez o Petes!
