Week 1 Football Picks

Well, the high school football season is upon us, and that can only mean one thing: Some buffoon with access to a website and a key board is going to tell everyone how all of the games are going to turn out. This year, that buffoon is me – yours truly: Chucky Buckles. So, without further delay and with no regard to the final score or common sense, here’s one man’s glance into the crystal ball for week one… DUNDEE @ GRASS LAKE- Interesting Week 1 matchup because both teams are perennial playoff contenders. The Vikings are late arrivals due to a summer clearance sale at Cabella’s and they never recover. PICK: GRASS LAKE NAPOLEON @ COLUMBIA CENTRAL: Both teams are hungry for a bounce-back season after struggling last year with two combined wins (both Columbia Central’s.) The Eagles start the season off right. PICK: COLUMBIA CENTRAL ONSTED @ MICHIGAN CENTER: The Onsted team bus gets wedged under the overhang at Rudy’s Drive-In on the way into town, causing a lack of focus. The Cardinals take advantage. PICK: MICHIGAN CENTER NORTHWEST @ HILLSDALE: I feel good about Coach Slater’s Mounties this year and they’ll ride the emotional high of the…

Michigan Center’s Drew Dowding Ready for Senior Season with the Cards

By Larry Jacobson, JTV Sports It finally hit Drew Dowding this summer. On the third day of a three-day camp in Hillsdale, he realized this would be his final football season for the Michigan Center Cardinals. “It really hit me on that final day,” Dowding said. “This is my last year and my last season. It made me pretty sad because I’ve loved every minute of it. I’ve had a great high school career and I’m definitely sad to see it end.” Most of the time you don’t realize how much fun something is until it’s over or it’s gone. Drew Dowding is one of the fortunate ones, because he realizes it right now and he plans on enjoying every last moment. “I’m going to soak up every last minute of this year and keep it going as long as we can,” he said. “We have a lot of younger guys, so it’s very important that guys step up and be leaders. As a senior, I have to show the younger players how to play at this level and how to win in the Cascades Conference. If the young players are quick learners, we can have a really good season.”…

Lumen Christi Upgrading Athletic Facilities

Larry Jacobson, JTV Sports There’s a lot of excitement around Lumen Christi High School these days, and much of that stems from the culmination of a long sought dream. Titan athletic coaches and players, students, alumni, staff and parents (and anyone associated with the program, even as just a fan) have long looked at the expanse of land just west of the school and thought it would make a great location for an on-campus football stadium. Currently, the sight serves as a practice field. Now, with the roar of construction equipment, the dream is coming to fruition. “I always thought if I stuck around long enough it would get done,” Long-time Titan Head Football Coach Herb Brogan said. “It’s been a dream around here and something we’ve talked about for a long time. It’s great to see it finally happening and the whole Lumen Christi community is excited.” The varsity Titans will continue to play their home games at Withington Stadium on the campus of Jackson High School, but the new project – estimated to cost just over one million dollars - is about much more than football. “The indoor basketball court is being redone as well as the outdoor…
