I'm very excited to announce that 2010 U.S. Army All
AllAmerican Sharrif Floyd will be blogging once a week for
SportsIllustrated.com as part of their coverage of the 10th
Anniversary U.S. Army All-American

Wow, Muskegon (73.7), 2 losses in a row and number #2
Rockford 6-0 (108) next. For Rockford, this is it for the
tough games on its schedule; the path is paved for the
defending Division 1 champs to have a 9--0 season. For
Muskegon, well they are 4 points short of a perfect
season,, and faced with having to pull an upset in order to
avoid 3 straight losses.
Mendon (68.0), the 10-time state
te champ recorded its
sixth straight shutout, 41-0, over Centreville (19.0). Looks
th
like they are working hard to get the 11 . Opponents,
the plan first is just to score; then worry about winning.
Oooh Wee! I guess Cincinnati Moeller is still the same
Ohio Powerhouse that it always has been. That tough
schedule of the Polar Bears of Highland Park (46.43) has
caught up with them. They are now faced with winning
out in order to make it to the playoffs.
Detroit Southeastern (103.7),, a team with huge size and
speed, picked up just as big a victory over Detroit King
(67.2), 14-7;
7; to all but clinch the PSL Championship.
Forgot to mention Gholston, 4 second half sacks. This
game proved they can win a close game; the next test
before they go downtown would be, can they play in cold
weather.
Birmingham Brother Rice (83.5) at Orchard Lake St.
Mary's (41.9), 1 p.m. Saturday, this

(69.3) With a 56-0 win over
Kalkaska (36.7), the defending Division 7 champion
Gladiators moved to 6-0
0 and clinched a 20th consecutive
berth in the state playoffs. It was also the 52nd straight
Lake Michigan Conference win for St. Francis dating back
to 2001 -- the same year Kalkaska last scored a point
against the Gladiators. Kalkaska can you say, we don’t
want to play them any more? Your bravado is clear, but
its time to stop this fight. Here’s for throwing in the
towel.
Applause goes out to who ever figured out this week that
Kenny Knight is 6’ 4” not 5’4”. Let that 53 yard pass play
for a last-second TD before half,
half from Josh Harris, serve
as what you can do. The play made it 13-6 Country Day
(73.7), at the half.. Also the defense should be saluted as
well; the Muskegon Heights Tigers (60.6) dominated
yardage-wise
wise for most of the first half, but remained
behind in the score mostly because of four turnovers.
DCD 27-14,
14, in a much needed
need win, but let’s don’t play
any more Division 5 teams, even if they are ranked #1.

Interesting what you hear and who you see at a little
