I've still got aways to go to get to  Mr. M. Loaf's line of decency. On Saturday I hope to get closer. *Olivet 4/Adrian 0, Hope 6/Albion 1,Trine 3/Alma 1, Kalamazoo 2/Calvin 1 in OT. * I think Kalamazoo is right there and can now compete with the at one time big boys. * All picks and opinions are subject to change.

Well, it looks like the enthusiasm factor if off the charts. Oh well- Trine 3, Albion 1, Olivet 4, Kazoo 2, Hope 3, Calvin 2,  and Alma 1, Adrian 0. This where we find out if Alma has started the long trek back, in the right direction.

Good job Olivet. Back to the drawing board for Alma. What can you can you say about Albion that would sound positive. I got it! Currently they have given up fewer goals than the girls side.  Will the real Calvin please stand up. Let's have some fun with it. Make picks- keep tabs on yourself. Can start this week. Have a brag off at the end. Kalamazoo on top! That's pretty good.

Saturday picks. Trine 2, Adrian 0 /Calvin 3, Albion 0 / Alama 1, Kalamazoo 1  and the biggie,
Hope 3, Olivet 2, although this should probably be a pick Em!

Wouldn't it be great to see a really competitive MIAA. I thought it would be close to that 5 years ago but it just didn't materialize. Nice to see Alma doing well and I think Olivet has brought a tough game to the table for several years. Keep it up.

Actually, I think Albion is probably the 8 team. Maybe Adrian is. It looks like Alma is better than 7 or 8. Perhaps 6 would be a good fit. Good luck

I think recent history tells us that Calvin and Hope are the odds on favorites. I would love to see a competitve league season. Pre-league scheduling looks strong for most of the teams. I thought last year would be a 4 team race w/ Calvin/Hope/Hornets and Albion. I was so wrong.  Maybe this will be a good year- if Trine and Olivet can build on last year, if Kalamazoo can find the way back and will Albion ever get over the hump?- may the answer be yes-to all of these "things". Try and remember- the next game could be your last.
