We're live here in Hudson!!!!

We're here live at Hudson for the showdown between Mendon and Hudson and we'll be updating live throughgout the night...play-by-play.
Of note, just spoke with John Johnson and the sites being considered if Ubly were to make a semifinal at this point are Howell and Brandon.
Just check the comments as we continue to update what is going on and give you some pre-game info.
We got here around 6 p.m. and there was well over a 1,000 in attendance already. Estimates are for a crowd of 5,000.
The game will be available to be watched tomorrow on MHSAA TV.

How do the teams look size wise and speed wise from what you have been able to observe so far in warmups?

Chris Ogryski said...

Hudson is huge! They have eight defensive linemen who are 200 pounds or more including:
Bradley Kirkendall OL DT 6'3" 285
Dillon Nash OL DT 6'2" 220
Zach Reiger OL DL 6'2" 280
Robert Risner OL DT 5'9" 260
Brandon Snead OL DT 5'6" 220
John Liby OL DT 6'7" 335 (not a misprint)
Matthew Smith TE DE 6'4" 205
Chris Aguire TE DE 5'8" 205

SpartyOn said...

Wow.... Thats some size for HS football.. - Know if any of them are getting recruited?

Chris Ogryski said...

Mendon is also big, but not quite as big. Standouts include eight players over 200 including:
Jordan Higgins 6'0" 200 RB/LB
Dakota Brietch 5'10" 210 LB/OL
Gabe Tompkins 6'1" 220 DE/OL
Derek Brueck 6'1" 200 DE/OL
Aaron Saunders 6'3" 220 LB/OL
Kevin Kuhlman 6'2" 200 DE/OL
Pete Lagoni 6'2" 200 DL/OL
Cory Girdley 6'2" 265 DL/OL

Some other game notes, these 11-0 teams have never met before...
Mendon has won 10 state titles with their first coming in 1982, followed by titles in 1989, 1991, 1993, 1995, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2005 & 2007...
Mendon's only championship game loss came in 1983, a 15-12 loss to St. Ignace.
Hudson has four state titles from "preplayoff days" including 1956, 1972, 1973 and 1974...
during that time Hudson won 72 consecutive games...

Chris Ogryski said...

Herman Moore, former Detroit Lion, is here working for the MHSAA.

Hudson is getting the ball first, not sure who won the toss though.

Chris Ogryski said...

I think both are public schools...

Chris Ogryski said...

I hear that Mendon is quick off the ball and Hudson is a big hard, hitting team.
Both teams look tough, predicting a low scoring contest...
Somewhere like 21-14...as for the winner, any ones guess...

Chris Ogryski said...

Note from earlier, Hudson won the toss and elected to receive...

Hudson has four state titles from "preplayoff days" including 1956, 1972, 1973 and 1974

How can they have state titles without a playoff?
If thats the case, Ubly should be state champs too with the run they had from the mid 60's thru the early 70's.

Before there were the playoffs I think that schools got state titles completely based off of rankings. So that way at the end of the year whoever was the #1 ranked team in the state in each class/division won the state title. I am not 100% sure on this however
