High school football got off to a nice start for the Monroe County Region this weekend.
Out of 11 local games, we had nine winners. Even one of the losses, SMCC’s 32-26 heart-breaker in the final seconds against Detroit Crockett, was a pretty solid performance against a good team.
The most impressive teams to me in the opening week were Airport and Ida.
Airport beat what should turn out to be a pretty good Bedford team and Ida dominated on both sides of the ball against Huron League foe Flat Rock.
And kudos to New Boston Huron coach Dan Kalbfleisch, who showed a lot of class by emptying his bench after building a big lead against Erie Mason.
I can’t wait for Week 2.
