Chucky’s Game Picks
*Chuck will select a few of his favorite games each week for his picks. The holiday season is over, and with its’ end comes Chucky Buckles’ emergence from hiatus. During the break between the football and basketball seasons he took a computer class, had one of those soda-pop vending machines installed in his house and built a covered wagon from some old barn wood he found in a field. Basketball season is here, and that means Chucky is more focused on each concession stand’s popcorn making ability than the action on the court. Still, picks must be made. BOYS*** LUMEN CHRISTI @ JACKSON: Former Lions coach Jim Schwartz is on-hand to lend his services to either coach in need of in-game adjustments, but his offer to assist is rebuffed by both sides when it’s revealed that he- and the Lions – just aren’t that good. PICK: LUMEN CHRISTI HOMER @ HANOVER-HORTON: The Trojans feature many of the same kids who helped the football team reach the state semifinals in November. Trouble erupts when those same kids, perhaps forgetting its basketball season, tackle the Comets’ ball carriers the first few times up the court. PICK: HANOVER-HORTON CONCORD @ VANDERCOOK LAKE:…

Chucky’s Week 2 Playoff Picks
Chucky Buckles is having a tough time this week. He’s questioning everything now. He spent Saturday afternoon watching his beloved Michigan Wolverines get de-pantsed by Michigan State, and yet UM Coach Brady Hoke said – other than an assignment or two – the Wolverines were ‘right in there.’ Chucky knows what it’s like to have his hat handed to him and had his nose broken in a boxing match once. Coach Hoke is either doing his best to keep his team up and energized, or someone tonked him in the head with an errant pass. Anyway, here’s how the playoffs look for week #2- CONSTANTINE (6-4) @ HILLSDALE (7-3): It’s not fair that Constantine loses all those regular season games (4 this year!) and then rolls into Michigan Center and ends the Cardinals season. Just for that, Hillsdale is going to exact some revenge for their Cascades Conference friends to the northeast. Wait, no… hold on a second… that won’t happen. PICK: CONSTANTINE GRASS LAKE (9-1) @ CLINTON (10-0): Chucky visited Grass Lake for the first time last week. The actual lake, not just the village, and he was awed by its’ beauty. He was also given a stern…

Chucky’s Playoff Picks
The 2013 high school football playoffs are here and Chucky Buckles, a sage of predictions and many, many irrelevant things, congratulates all the local teams that made the cut! That being said, predictions must be made…. PARCHMENT (6-3) @ Lumen Christi (9-0): The actual definition of ‘parchment’ is quite disturbing. It’s ‘skin of a sheep or goat one uses on which to write.’ So from this, we can deduce the town was named after bizarre skin-writing goat herders. The Titans survived the big scare at Howell, and look forward to a plain ‘ol matchup with the Panthers, who may or may not have uniforms made out of goat skin. PICK: LUMEN CHRISTI CONSTANTINE (5-4) @ MICHIGAN CENTER (8-1): Keanu Reeves, who played Constantine in the movie Constantine based on the comic book called Constantine, is on hand to root for Constantine. The Cardinals pull a fast one and bribe him with 23 root beer floats from Rudy’s. The ploy works. PICK: MICHIGAN CENTER MANCHESTER (7-2) @ GRASS LAKE (8-1): The Flying Dutchmen beat Grass Lake earlier this year, but that sort of thing generally just angers the Warriors and makes them quite surly. A catapult hurls soft,…

Warriors Defense Holds Off Michigan Center in Comeback Win
By Derek Devine JTV Sports (Grass Lake, MI) --Tonight’s premier Week 3 matchup between Michigan Center and Grass Lake gave a true feel that High School football is definitely back. And if a rematch that had been circled on the calendar for almost a year and a fifty-degree ball field weren’t already enough, the hard hitting, down-to-the-wire action was. Michigan Center held the Warrior offense to nothing on its first possession and forced a three and out. 73 yards later, the Cardinals found themselves up seven. Dylan Zaborowski scrambled and found Connor Brandt wide open in the end zone for a 7-yard score. They allowed one first down on their second defensive outing, and forced yet another Warrior punt. Grass Lake’s third possession wasn’t any more successful as Zaborowski showed skill on the defensive side of the ball with a leaping interception. Josh Padelt had some nice runs to help the drive move towards goal line, and Zaborowski eventually capped of a clock-eating drive to start the second quarter with a 5-yard touchdown run. On the next possession, Grass Lake finally found a rhythm with their running game. “It took awhile,” stated Coach Randy Cole, “but we put together a…
