sorry about the "hate" part in the above post. Just got sick of hearing about how DOWN the KVC is. Did I think Howell would win? No (they WON their "state title" by being co-champs in the KVC, the upper level of expectations for Howell was already attained) . Did I see South Lyon winning? No (they had ALOT of the pieces needed to have a exceptional season, McGee, Gotham, etc., but for some reason, the fire never seemed to burn for the Lions). I figured Lakeland would win, but honestly I thought the game would be tighter. I felt confident Novi would win, but for some reason they can't deliver the KO when they have the opportunity. Up 13-0 to start the game, they hang on for a 13-9 final (which apparently included a goal line stand where on 4th and goal, a defender gave up 2 of the remaining 3 feet, but held). I'm planning on attending the Stevenson v. Novi game on Friday. As it stands the, Spartans look to be at least a 10-14 point favorite.

BG, I thought Howell would be good for a quarter or two. Apparently, someone forgot to tell them to show up. I warned (to no one in particular) people early that Howell might see the uniforms and helmets of CC and that would be the ballgame....looks like that was the case. More importantly, credit to CC for SMOKING Howell on the field. I don't want in any way to sound as if CC didn't take Howell behind the woodshed( um, they did). I'm just dissapointed that the game wasn't a game at all.

Novi has always run the most diverse offense in the league. You don't know whether they will run no huddle, wishbone, spread, or power-I from one week to the next. South Lyon HAD a good thing going with their offense a couple years ago. I think there was a philosophy change when Scheloske stepped down as head coach, and they've gone with their current O ever since. A lot of people have gotten down on Milford this year for their season, but I think South Lyon is almost as dissapointing (for me). You see the personel they had returning, and you wonder why they never put together a better season???? I've said it before, The Lions just seemed to be missing the mojo this year, I have no other explanation??? maybe they didn't "buy" into the coach this year?

As for Novi's chances to make a deep run......who knows??? They will face the best team they've seen ALL year next Friday in Stevenson. Can Novi win the game? Yeah, for sure. They won't be intimidated in the least by Livonia Stevenson (Coach K has a way of shrinking the giants in his kid's path). That being said, Novi will need to be a MUCH better team on Friday to somehow swipe a win from the Spartans. I favor the Spartans by 10-14 points as of today. IF (IF IF IF IF) Novi somehow manages to BEAT Stevenson, then I'd look for Novi to at very least be a final 4 team (if their "LUCK" holds out...gotta give props to all the people saying they get lucky every week).

Lakeland MIGHT be the team to watch from the KVC. I've liked their team/approach since the Novi/Lakeland game. I think they could make some noise in Division 2.

Statman, not concerned about Novi playing Stevenson. I agree with your rationale as well. Just gonna lay low in the weeds, you know. Let's focus on Lakeland this week
