OT: Was your HS good at football?
Where did you go to HS and were they any good at football?
I went to Utica HS in Macomb County. They were not good have never won a playoff game. Only 4 playoff appearances and no state titles despite being one of the oldest teams in the state.
They do play Romeo HS for a Little Brown Jug that was started in 1948.
Curious to see what football pedigree some on the board came from and if it was big at their school.
Not when I went, but they have been lately I guess.
Rockford.
A couple of pros out of the school. Kieft and Staley.
Hey, ME...TOO! And can't forget Mike Segard...

The Twin Valley was a hell of a conference. RIP.
Parma Western grad. Have been terrible forever, but seem to be getting a bit better.

I grew up about 20 minutes from there, though it was north of the boarder.
Waldron. 7 miles west of there. Bet you've never heard of it. lol
...in Connecticut. We've lost like 3 games in 3 years and have won 3 straight state and league championships. A few buddies of mine are D1 prospects (one with SEC offers), and a couple others are Ivy/NESCAC level. Unfortunately most kids don't play football in college but lacrosse and our football success is mostly attributed to the athleticism of our lacrosse players (top 20 school in the country).
Ansonia?
New Canaan High School
A fellow UCS school, I went to Stevenson and we made the state finals my junior year but I don't think our school has ever won a title, that said our graduating class had quite a good run.
Eisenhower-Stevenson the biggest rivalry in the area is a farce.
The hate Utica and Eisenhower have for each other overshadows it.
They look down on Utica like it's the slums and they're from some gated community even though in reality they aren't that wealthy AND they lost to Utica the last time they played 8 years ago. They're afraid to lose again so they just don't schedule Utica even though they share a stadium.
Which is another funny thing. If they're so wealthy, why can't they build their own stadium instead of using one 3 miles away in an area beneath them?
It's gonna be something when they eventually do play again. A lot of hard feelings are there and they've been festering for a long time.
Both my parents work in Shelby Twp so I know all about the way Ike people are, that said the Ike-Stevenson rivalry was based upon actual competition (not trying to be derogatory) we were the two MAC Red powers during my time in HS as Dakota was just starting to come into their own.
Sigh.....I know.
The series record for Stevenson-Ike is 22-21 Ike per this website.
The Utica-Ike series is not pretty. But hey, 2007.
Went to SH Stevenson.... we were good before I got there and pretty much immediately after. Guess our class just wasn't too good. Once Coach Bye left... it has been crap.
Went to a school in PA. Had a decade long regular season winning streak in football that ended 1 year prior to my freshman year.
Won 2 state championships, lost the 3rd and had 3 NFL players in that span. Dan Connor, Mark Jones, and Steven Johnson.
+1 for homeschool. I was homeschooled too. Does beating my brother in backyard football count? If so, we were pretty good. Way better than those assholes on the other team.
Championships win Magnus.
My high school is undefeated in football....also winless since we didn't have a team
Won two Ohio state championships in the four years I was there. The school was tied for third most in OHSAA history last time I checked. We went 44-4 over a 4 year period.
We were kind of like this 
We were members of the old Border Cities League at the time (w/ Monroe, Lincoln Park, Royal Oak Dondero, Highland Park, Wyandotte Roosevelt, and Dearborn Fordson)
I didn't play varsity, but I think Royal Oak and Fordson were the strongest teams back then. We weren't the worst, but middle of the pack, I think. We would have been better if the district hadn't been split into GP South and North in 1970; combined we might have had a strong team.
Needless to say, Grosse Pointe has never been a hotbed for football anyhow. However, if underage drinking had been a varsity sport, South would have been a state power.
Also a South grad. About average during my time but my Junior year they made it to the state semi's (still not sure how that happenned) and played FH Harrison. Pretty sure Ojemudia gave my buddy a concusion. Funchess jumped over my other buddy. I'm pretty sure he hadn't committed yet but was wearing a Michigan skull cap so that got everybody excited. South lost 61 to 0 I believe.
I went to John Glenn High School in Westland, and our football team stunk, but we had a great marching band! As I recall we went had one win my senior year (against Oak Park, who was even worse). The next year, some unknown guy named Lloyd Carr became our head coach, and apparently we improved quite a bit, although I was a student at UM and had totally put high school (and Westland for that matter) behind me!
I went to Ann Arbor Huron from '09 to '13, so no, we were terribad. I think we might have won one game in like my last three years. Jeremy Jackson was a senior my freshman year and we were decent then, I think we beat Pioneer for the first time in forever. Then the highlight of the next three years was the big brawl we got into against PiHi.
I graduated from Huron the same class as Jeremy Jackson (2010). I remember watching him at the football games and wondering how this dude got a Michigan offer. He was so slow. In football Huron was never anygood but my senior year and the year after we made it to the state championship game in basketball.
The Paul Verska era. Huron sucked until he arrived. He turned them around and they appeared a state final game under his tenure. His son had a great run and held several state records. They flipped the Pioneer rivalry and was poached to go to DeLasalle where he resurrected that program to their current success.
I mean Huron football was never any good during the time I attended and the couple years before and after. I didn't really follow Huron football when I was 8 years old.
My freshman year we (Brighton High School) went to the state playoffs. Not bad for 8 or 10 total teams that got to go. We had a 150 pound middle linebacker who was just devastating. 150 pounds! Tougher than a badger backed into a corner.
Ironically, after I left school (in 1986 - commence old jokes), they blew up and produced some major D1 talent for a while (Drew Henson, Coppenhaver, that 7 foot kid that went to central, etc..).
No idea what they're doing now.
Edit: Looks like they have a 3 star tight end this year - 27th in the state. Signed with Miami (NTM).
Yeah I graduated from Brighton in '99. My class produced Dave Pearson (lineman). I remember being in a class with him senoir year, then seeing him a couple years later walking around UM campus. He was a rather tall guy, but somewhat thin in high school. Then he spends a couple years at Michigan and I swear he put on 100 lbs. Enormous.
We were damn good. Canton High School here in MI.
Coach Beachler has been there for years now...but we would always go undefeated or 1 loss during the season...make it to the playoffs and then always got Smoked by Catholic Central in one of the rounds!
The year I graduate they make it to state the following year in 2006!! Proud Alum!! Canton Chiefs '05
Looks like you and I have something very much in common. Coach Baechler has to be an institution in Canton by now, he's been there for some time. I never played football, and rarely went to games, but if his intensity as a gym teacher is any indication of his coaching intensity, then I can understand how he's had some successful teams over the years. At least he did a good job of keeping Salem in their place.
Huron grad and former player here, I'm still pissed off that Canton stole Devin from us during that era you're speaking about...
