It is now playoff time, which means I’ll be picking local playoff games for the next five weeks (well, I hope to!). After the second round of the playoffs, I will begin making picks on ALL games in the state. Until then, games posted will be within my seven county window (Allegan, Barry, Berrien, Cass, Kalamazoo, Saint Joseph and Van Buren) and will cover ALL games. For the playoffs, the games are in order by a teams Division.

Last Week: 29-10 (.744)
Regular Season: 284-57 (.833)

Division 2
Region 2, District 2, Game 1 (Friday, 7:00 PM) — (at) Mattawan 38, Battle Creek Lakeview 20: Lakeview is the pleasant surprise in the SMAC East this year. Mattawan was runner-up in the SMAC West. Mattawan is loaded, however. And its only loss is to unbeaten Stevensville Lakeshore. This isn’t Muskegon for the Wildcats this year. This year, Mattawan comes in pretty tested. And with home field and a 6-3 team coming in, ‘Cats win pulling away.

Region 2, District 2, Game 2 (Friday, 7:00 PM) — (at) Portage Northern 31, Portage Central 17: Rematch of a game two weeks ago, easily won 42-13 by Portage Northern. Unless the Mustangs pull a rabbit out of their hat, nothing changes, Northern wins. However, if Central wins, this would remind me of the Stevensville Lakeshore / Saint Joseph games of the past. Should they change the goal posts back yellow at McCamley Field if Central wins?

Division 3
Region 2, District 2, Game 1 (Friday, 7:00 PM) — (at) Stevensville Lakeshore 45, Holland Christian 14: Stevensville Lakeshore is rolling. They just concluded an unbeaten season and returned to the top of the SMAC West Division this season after losing it to Mattawan last season. Holland Christian is one of those 5-4′s in on playoff points. Usually, that doesn’t bode well come playoff time. Denny Dock’s team rolls on in a district of two 5-4 teams and a 6-3 team.

Region 2, District 2, Game 2 (Friday, 7:00 PM) — (at) Edwardsburg 38, Hamilton 28: The Eddies disappointed me last season. They went 8-0 — just to fall in week one of the playoffs in a scoring barrage by Plainwell. In Edwardsburg, none-the-less. Hamilton is another one of those 5-4′s in the postseason. They have been inconsistent to say the least. Started 4-0, then lost four of five, but got in on playoff points. Only thing going in Hamilton’s favor — last Wing-T team they saw in Zeeland West, they won. That win got them in the playoffs.

Region 3, District 1, Game 2 (Friday, 7:00 PM) — Plainwell 28, (at) Hastings 22: This might be the most even matchup in southwest Michigan in week one. Just three tenths of a playoff point separated them. They were both 6-3 overall this season. Both lost in week nine. Only thing different may the offenses being run this Friday night. Plainwell seems to rise up in the playoffs, especially after last seasons upset at Edwardsburg in this round. Taking the Trojans over the Saxons in this battle of equals.

Division 4
Region 2, District 1, Game 1 (Friday, 7:00 PM) — (at) Dowagiac 41, Otsego 20: Talk about staying in the conference — and the same city two weeks in a row. If Dowagiac had a hotel in their town, Otsego could have stayed there. This is a rematch of a game from last week, won by Dowagiac, 43-0. All I gotta say is I really like Dowagiac and their chances to make a big push this fall. Last season, this team ran into the runner-up in Division 5, Lansing Catholic. Lansing Catholic isn’t in the way this year and it’s the Chieftains region to run away with — unless…

Region 2, District 1, Game 2 (Friday, 7:00 PM) — (at) Paw Paw 38, Grand Rapids South Christian 14: Remember how I just said “unless” above? As much as I like Dowagiac’s chances, I also like Paw Paw’s, as well. Paw Paw finished number 3 in the state this season, led by its spread offense. Defense is a little sketchy, however. Paw Paw has been tested, though. However, before then, Paw Paw must take care of a Grand Rapids South Christian team, fresh off a big win over Hastings last week. They do — but must not look ahead to Dowagiac. If it happens, South Christian could upset them — and do them in.

Region 2, District 2, Game 1 (Friday, 7:00 PM) — (at) Battle Creek Pennfield 41, Three Rivers 20: First and foremost, kudos go out to Coach J.J. Wagner and the Wildcats for returning to the playoffs, a place they have become familiar with in recent years. However, Battle Creek Pennfield is not the welcoming back gift you wish for under the Christmas tree. Some in the media have labelled this as an upset for Three Rivers, but remember — Pennfield’s only loss was a late game score by Schoolcraft. The Wolverine B South is tough, but not tough like the KVA. They do realize Battle Creek Pennfield made a big run last year and Constantine was in the state finals, right?

Division 5
Region 2, District 2, Game 1 (Friday, 7:30 PM) — (at) Muskegon Oakridge 38, Buchanan 14: Congratulations Bucks — you are back in the playoffs. If they said they wanted Muskegon Oakridge first round, they must have been being really nice. A game with a perennial powerhouse like Oakridge isn’t good. Oakridge is primed for a nice run in Division 5 and isn’t 9-0 for no reason. They have been rock solid all year, winning big game after big game. This Oakridge team reminds me of the team Hartford beat in 1993, but knew all along — they are a tough out. Unfortunately, Buchanan isn’t the team to knock em’ out.

Region 2, District 2, Game 2 (Friday, 7:00 PM) — (at) Hopkins 48, Grand Rapids West Catholic 28: The Vikings are certainly back to where they were under former head coach Rex Weaver — back with the big boys and unbeaten for the first time in a regular season since 1998. Their opponent is a good one in Grand Rapids West Catholic, a former state championship team from a couple of years ago. Grand Rapids West Catholic has to be drained, celebrating a playoff birth with a win last week to get them to six wins. Hopkins is ready for battle at home — and unless the 2010 state championship Falcon team are dressed out, Hopkins rolls.

Division 6
Region 3, District 1, Game 1 (Friday, 7:00 PM) — (at) Schoolcraft 45, Niles Brandywine 7: Another team making a return to the playoffs is the Niles Brandywine Bobcats, 7-2 on the season and the first team since 2002 at Brandywine to make playoffs. Ultimately, you would like to see an easier game then 9-0 Schoolcraft, one of the favorites in Division 6 this year. Schoolcraft was number two in the final poll in Division 6. Once again, another KVA powerhouse takes down a victory. If Brandywine thought the Lakeland was tough, they went 1-2 in that league. Schoolcraft was 9-0 — just in the KVA.

Region 3, District 1, Game 2 (Friday, 7:00 PM) — Constantine 38, (at) Watervliet 35: One of those games I needed to break out the coin and flip for a favorite. In the end, Constantine (heads) defeated Watervliet (tails) two to one. That’s what this game will come down to — a play in one direction. Both teams may be a little deflated after losing week nine games (Watervliet losing a perfect season in the process). Last season, I picked against Constantine in the district round. Fail. Picked them to lose in the regional round. Fail. Come playoff time, something coach Shawn Griffith does makes Constantine play well. Very well. Gotta push Constantine ahead in this close game. The gift for both these teams if they win will be Schoolcraft. I’d be a fan of either winning, as the district game would be pretty good.

Division 7
Region 2, District 1, Game 2 (Saturday, 1:00 PM) — (at) Gobles 30, Springport 22: Gobles finds themselves back into the playoffs for the second straight year — and also a likely favorite to score a district title with the other two teams at 6-3 (never count out another Gobles / Pewamo-Westphalia game, though) in the other district game. Gobles needs to come out fast against Springport, though. Especially coming off a devastating loss in Saugatuck last week. Two sure touchdowns getting called back didn’t help. If Gobles is to win, the run attack needs to shine — and the penalties need to be limited. If you have just one of those work, you can’t win. Gobles pulls out a close one, though, either way.

Region 2, District 2, Game 1 (Friday, 7:00 PM) — (at) Lawton 48, Bridgman 10: Bridgman is back in the playoffs — for the first time this millennium, that is. The 6-3 Bees return against Southwestern Athletic Conference South Division champion Lawton. Lawton is well, tough. They run the ball well. Their defense may bend, but it doesn’t break. And their lone loss was to Hartford, a game they didn’t play particularly well in. One thing they have to clean up is discipline. Not saying they need to this week, but they need to do that to make a big playoff push. Lawton is a big favorite in a district that very well could field a regional champion. Don’t look ahead though, Lawton.

Region 2, District 2, Game 2 (Friday, 7:00 PM) — Decatur 20, (at) Hartford 14: OK, I hear you Hartford — why pick against the Indians? I think week seven at Decatur is a very good reason to pick the Raiders. The Indians only had 127 yards of total offense in the entire game. Most Hartford games — that’s a quarter of offense. This game will be determined Monday – Thursday on really how the Indians practiced. Last time, they didn’t practice well. Look what happened. I think this game, Hartford puts forth an aggressive effort, but falls just short. Hartford may be making its 18th playoff appearance, but haven’t won a game in the postseason since 2006. You may remember names like Chris Cook, Rory Short and Coty Marcoux — they were juniors then. I’m an Indian, through and through, though. Proud one.

Division 8
Region 3, District 2, Game 1 (Friday, 7:00 PM) — (at) Climax-Scotts 41, Saint Joseph Lake Michigan Catholic 14: This is just one game in a powerhouse district that will feature two unbeatens — Climax-Scotts and Mendon. And the most likely scenario features them meeting up once again. This game is going to feature a double wing offense (Climax-Scotts) against a single wing offense (LMC). The single wing is much tougher to prepare for, but Climax-Scotts is by far the better team. Lake Michigan Catholic has achieved its goals — a conference title and a playoff birth. But that’s all they get. The game is close until half and then, the Panthers pull away. That sets up the likely best district final game in the state.

Region 3, District 2, Game 2 (Saturday, 1:00 PM) — (at) Mendon 56, Colon 7: Did I just mention Mendon? Oh yeah, the defending division eight champions are back — and undefeated yet again. I guess ten state championship for Coach John Schwartz isn’t really enough. The problem for the Hornets all season has been some troubles within his team. It has resulted in suspensions of players. And in the last two games, it has shown. They had to hold off a pesky Buchanan team on the road, then needed OT to beat defending division seven runner-up Pewamo-Westphalia last week. The Hornets are battle tested, but following this weeks win, Climax-Scotts could loom and then afterwards, Fowler or Muskegon Catholic Central, two teams the Hornets are familiar with from last season. Road isn’t easy, Hornets.

Every week on the HartfordFootball.com blog, I will be posting a blog in regards to ranking the best, “Top 10″ teams in the area. They will be split up into two separate polls. The first poll will be a “Big School” poll, featuring teams in Class A and B schools across my area. The second poll will be a “Small School” poll, featuring Class C and D schools across my area. Just a reminder that my area includes teams from seven local area counties: Allegan, Barry, Berrien, Cass, Kalamazoo, Saint Joseph and Van Buren counties.

As always, I hope this post will give you an honest, intellectual assessment into my thinking of the teams of the local area around Hartford! As always, leave a comment or send me an e-mail message by clicking the “Contact” link on the top of the page. I always enjoy comments, good or bad!

With the football season having finished last night, this will be the final edition of the playoff field updates. The field of 256 is now set! The playoffs will begin this Friday and Saturday with Pre-District action set to kick off this weekend. That will be followed by District, Regional and Semifinal games the next three weeks after. The State Finals will take place at Ford Field in Detroit on Thanksgiving Weekend, November 23-24 and be broadcast LIVE on Fox Sports Detroit Plus.

To automatically qualify for the playoffs, teams had to win six games in a nine game schedule or five games in a eight game schedule. 237 teams qualified by that criteria, earning them automatic births in the postseason. Since the 256 team field was not completed by that criteria, teams with the highest playoff points in each class were entered into the field to complete the 256 team field. A total of 19 other schools qualified by playoff points. The 19 teams will represent 5 Class A schools, 5 Class B schools, 5 Class C schools and 4 Class D schools.

The final list of the teams that will be in the playoffs has been posted on this blog and records and playoff points are updated as of week nine games ending Saturday, October 20. The list is in Microsoft Excel format and can be viewed by clicking the link below. Some computers may not have Microsoft Excel. If your computer does not, please download the FREE Microsoft Excel viewer to view the list. That link is also posted below.

This tradition returns in 2012! Once again, every week on this blog, I will be making my selections on local games and trying to pick the winners of all those local games each week. I will also be making a “Top 3″ games area, as well — highlighting important games in our area. The games posted will be within my seven county area (Allegan, Barry, Berrien, Cass, Kalamazoo, Saint Joseph and Van Buren) and will cover ALL games, regardless of class or school size. Games below are not picked in a specific order, just by order of the schools alphabetically and by county.

Last Week: 27-8 (.771)
2012 Season: 255-47 (.844)

TOP 3 GAMES OF THE WEEK
1) (at) Watervliet 35, Lawton 21 (Friday, 7:00 PM) – The battle for honors as Southwestern Athletic Conference South Division champion commences in Watervliet tomorrow night, with 8-0 Watervliet hosting 7-1 Lawton. This game comes down to who wants it more — Watervliet or Lawton? Watervliet is coming off a battle tested, 26-19 win last week at Decatur, when the Panthers let a lead slip in the fourth quarter, only to score with 30 seconds left to win. It was likely their toughest game of the season, outside of Hartford. Lawton has only lost once — on its own turf to Hartford, 27-24 in the final seconds. If this game comes down to the final seconds, it has to favor Watervliet. Watervliet has also won the previous few meetings as well. A lot on the line in this one. For Watervliet, it’s a perfect regular season and a second straight conference title. For Lawton, a conference title (by head-to-head standards) and home field for maybe two rounds in the playoffs. Lots riding on this one.

2) (at) Mattawan 38, Portage Northern 35 (Friday, 7:00 PM) – Another conference battle, this time for second place, in the Southwestern Michigan Athletic Conference this Friday night. Both Mattawan and Portage Northern come in at 7-1 overall and 5-1 in divisional play. Portage Northern would be the logical choice in this game. They are coming off a dominant victory last week, 42-13 over Portage Central and are riding high following that victory. Mattawan lost to the best team in Southwest Michigan at the big school level in Stevensville Lakeshore last week, 28-16. You look at the head-to-head with Lakeshore, Portage Northern only lost by seven, Mattawan by twelve. The difference in this game is home field for the Wildcats and the threat of rain. Put those two together and it spells run. And if that is the case, Mattawan’s rushing game is slightly better than Northern’s — leading them to a close win. Don’t let me down, ‘Cats.

3) Constantine 42, (at) Battle Creek Pennfield 28 (Friday, 7:00 PM) – Another battle for second place honors this week in Battle Creek. This game will feature two powerhouse Kalamazoo Valley Association teams in Constantine and Battle Creek Pennfield. Both come into the game on 7-1 overall. Also a common theme — both lost to Schoolcraft in close contests. Constantine lost 42-32 to the Eagles in week two, the Panthers lost 19-16 to the Eagles in week six. Both teams have a good shot of going deep in the playoffs and that’s something many conferences can’t say. The difference in this game will be the defenses. Which one will step up and make key stops in the clutch? Who’s most playoff battle tested? Constantine may have given up 171 points to Pennfield’s 117, but Pennfield hasn’t seen an offense like Constantine this season. The Falcons have put up 417 total points, more than 100 points more than anyone else in the KVA. And with them scoring no less than 32 points in a game this season — Constantine is the clear favorite. By two scores.

With the football season heading into the final week this week, this will be another edition of Playoff updates! The playoffs will be starting before we know it, with Pre-District action set to kick off the weekend of October 26-27. The State Finals will take place at Ford Field in Detroit on Thanksgiving Weekend, November 23-24 and be broadcast LIVE on Fox Sports Detroit Plus.

To automatically qualify for the playoffs, a team must win six games in a nine game schedule or five games in a eight game schedule. If the 256 team field is not completed by that criteria, then teams with the highest playoff points in each class will be entered into the field to complete the 256 team field. After week nine games are complete, I will post the entire field of 256, sorted by Divisions where the teams will be placed by the MHSAA for the playoffs.

I have compiled a list of the teams that have qualified as of week eight games ending Saturday, October 13. Currently, 178 teams have automatically qualified for the MHSAA playoffs. The list is in Microsoft Excel format and can be viewed by clicking the link below. Some computers may not have Microsoft Excel. If your computer does not, please download the FREE Microsoft Excel viewer to view the list. That link is also posted below.

Last Week: 30-5 (.857)
2012 Season: 228-39 (.854)

TOP 3 GAMES OF THE WEEK
1) (at) Mattawan 28, Stevensville Lakeshore 21 (Friday, 7:00 PM) – This truly is the Game of the Week and so happens, comes first in my order of picks this week for Game of the Week. You can not find a better game to go to on Friday night then this contest in Mattawan, between 7-0 Mattawan and 7-0 Lakeshore. This is going to be a close game all the way through. A lot of rushes will be stopped, a lot of passes will be deflected and this game will become a game of who can put together a winning drive at the right moment. That will favor Mattawan for a few reasons. First, Mattawan is at home and it is their Homecoming. Two, Mattawan went on the road to Stevensville last year and upset then unbeaten Lakeshore, 27-14 to win the SMAC West title. They know how to beat Lakeshore. And three, Lakeshore is pretty beat up. After their lackluster performance against now 3-4 Saint Joseph last week, Mattawan is in the drivers seat to remain unbeaten and go 9-0 for the perfect regular season. 48 minutes will tell.

2) (at) Dowagiac 35, Edwardsburg 21 (Friday, 7:00 PM) – This game will seal one teams fate. One team will likely win the Wolverine “B” Conference South Division title this week, the other will likely finish second in the division. It will happen in Dowagiac as the unbeaten Chieftains host 6-1 Edwardsburg. If you want two completely different offenses that can produce fireworks, you won’t see two more different attacks than these two teams. Dowagiac can spread it out. Edwardsburg will pound it out with the Wing-T and rushing attack. However, the Chieftains pull this game out at home. In the end, the game may be closer then I predict and it may come down to a late drive or a field goal or a weird play. It’s what happens this time of year. With the playoffs looming for both teams, who will try something different and go big for the win? I don’t see it from Edwardsburg. Dowagiac by two touchdowns.

3) Portage Central 27, (at) Portage Northern 21 (Friday, 7:00 PM) – Talk about a rivalry game — and you don’t even have to leave the confines of Portage. McCamley Field is used by both Portage Central and Portage Northern for home football games, but it truly is across the street from Portage Central High School. But this year, Portage Northern is the home team in the battle of the 6-1 Huskies and the 5-2 Mustangs. Both these teams have been very impressive this season so far. Especially Portage Central. While the Huskies have some solid stud skill players, Portage Central is big on the line. I think in the end, Portage Central tires out the Portage Northern line and scores a victory on its true home turf. Portage Central has some rushing talent and a dual threat quarterback behind their line, anchored by Toledo commit Nate Jeppesen. Portage Central is two points from being 7-0 right now, as well. Besides, Portage Central has dominated the series. Portage Northern hasn’t won since 2005. The field goal posts will remain yellow at McCamley Field at least one more year.
