Schmidt Engineers Two Late Drives for Victory

 

Even though Blissfield led for just over a minute of Friday’s matchup with Ida, it was enough — and came at the right time — to give the Royals a hard-fought 22-19 gridiron victory over the Blue Streaks.

In the first three-and-a-half quarters, Blissfield would reach scoring position repeatedly, but fail to punch it in all but one time, going into the half down 13-6.

Schmidt, Goetz Lead a Young Royals Football Team

 

As the 2010 Blissfield varsity football season starts, making the playoffs for a fourth straight season isn’t on the radar of coach Ron Estes. And it’s not because this year’s Royals aren’t capable of it. It’s because Estes and his team don’t look that far down the road.

“It’s a very tough, long season. That first game against Sand Creek could determine whether or not we make the playoffs at the end of the season,” Estes said. “I see no reason to worry about six games until we have five under our belt.”

This year’s team is a talented squad. But it’s a young squad. The Royals graduated 22 seniors from last year’s team, which went 8-3 (3-2 in the LCAA, 3rd Place) in a season that ended in the district final against Monroe St. Mary Catholic Central. Numbers are down a little this year, with 26 players on the team.  And there are only 11 seniors.

New Coach Calling Audibles at Whiteford

ANN ARBOR – At a scrimmage in Ann Arbor Friday, that team in the maize and blue uniforms with the winged helmets looked very familiar. But it sure didn’t look like the Bobcats.

Led by Matt Garno, the first new head coach since the 1980s, the 2010 Whiteford football program is undergoing major reconstructive surgery. Change is everywhere you look.

Most noticeably, it’s the appearance. Gone are the blue uniforms and white helmets. In their place are the new maize and blue uniforms and the University of Michigan-style helmets.

Royals Win 17th Straight LCAA Title

Senior co-captain Adam Warner was just a bouncing baby boy the last time a Lenawee County Athletic Season ended with someone other than Blissfield as Champion. Warner and the Royals swept Erie Mason, Tuesday.

Eric Schmidt pitched six strong shutout out innings in the opener. Cody Spotts pitched an inning of scoreless relief. In game two, Devin Suiter, coming off a no-hitter against Brandywine, pitched a complete-game shutout as the Royals won 3-0.

“It’s important to win the LCAA. It’s not our ultimate goal. But it’s still important to us. It’s one of the goals we set before the season and we’re pretty happy with going undefeated and winning the league. But we’re not done yet,” said Warner.

Blissfield plays in the Adrian Invitation Saturday and opens its district tournament at 5 p.m. Tuesday against Ida at Blissfield. The winner of that game will play Erie Mason.
