Michigan Center ready for tough matchup with Constantine

  By Larry Jacobson, JTV Sports It’s Halloween season, a time to dress up in costume and pretend you’re something that you’re really not – like a werewolf or a zombie or a super hero. And like a costume, the Constantine Falcons’ pedestrian regular season mark of 5-4 doesn’t reveal who they really are. The Michigan Center Cardinals know it. Since 2002 the Falcons have been one of the most successful programs in the state- rolling up an overall record of 117-21 (85%), making the state playoffs each year, advancing to the state championship game at Ford Field four times (including the last two years) and winning it all in 2004. This year Constantine reloaded and stumbled along the way, losing four regular season games – albeit to four playoff teams. Still, they come in to Saturday’s matchup averaging almost 41 points per game, and remain a very dangerous team. “It’s a bit of a double edged sword for us,” Michigan Center Coach Troy Allen said. “We are very excited to host a playoff game, but when we found out it would be Constantine coming in that turned it up a notch. We obviously know of their playoff history and…

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,…

Chucky’s week 9 Game Picks

By embracing the fall colors and focusing more on the beauty of life, and not the harshness of competition, he’s found a little a joy this week. Going 9-3 in picks didn’t hurt, either, but he prefers not to focus on such trivial matters. On this, the last week of the regular season, let’s ascend to a higher plain. Or is it plane? ATHENS @ EAST JACKSON: This is a classic matchup between the Resistible Force and the Moveable Object as one of these teams (both 0-8) will end the season on a high note. PICK: EAST JACKSON CONCORD @ NAPOLEON: The Yellow Jacket team bus sneaks into town by way of the Falling Waters Trail where they’re attacked by that really creepy flying guy in ‘Jeepers Creepers.’ Luckily, they arrive on time. PICK: CONCORD UNION CITY @ ADDISON: Famous Union City alum Adam Levine arrives early to give a pre-game pep talk. It’s later discovered that Adam Levine never went to Union City and has no plans on arriving and delivering a speech. Strange… PICK: ADDISON QUINCY @ VANDERCOOK LAKE: Jack Klugman once played a forensic scientist in the 70’s sitcom ‘Quincy.’ At this point of week 9, that’s…
