Kudos to the HP AD for putting together once of the most challenging schedules in the state. They could have gone the easy route once the MEGA Conference disbanded, but in its first year as an independant, the Polar Bears have scheduled OLSM, Brother Rice, Inkster, Detroit Country Day, Flint Powers, Dearborn, Lansing Everett, and Ohio power Cincinnati Moeller. Here's a link to the 2009 H.P. schedule: http://michigan-football.com/f/highpark.htm

It doesn't sound like they were invited to join any of the new leagues .... Does anyone know why the "outcasts" .... Inkster, Highland Park, Willow Run, River Rouge, Ecorse .... didn't come together to form a small league?

I can't believe the teams they ended up scheduling were the only gams available. It appears that HP decided to put together a challenging schedule. I'm amazed they are traveling to Cincinnati to play Moeller, although Moeller is likely picking up all their expenses. Still, it's going to be a tough trip for them. I'll be very anxious to see what Inkster ends with for a schedule. I'd like to see Inkster schedule DeLaSalle (still has a Week 3 opening according to Michigan-Football.com

I would have to think these teams will be looking for leagues ASAP.... I don't know the bylaws of the PSL and whether or not a school outside the Detroit .. but perhaps if they can't find anything else HP could join the Detroit PSL. Or possibly the OAA with Hazel Park, Ferndale and such being somewhat close.

I have a feeling a few of these games were out of necessity more than anything. Highland Park has not made the playoffs since 2006 ... and with the schedule it's likely that will continue.

Both are good teams, and would have made that league much better. Highland Park was a lot better than their record indicated last year. Remember they didn't really play/ lose to Edsel Ford, they beat Inkster, and they played Dearborn, and Fordson very close. Both these teams make perfect sense for the Western Wayne.

While I do think it will be difficult to make the playoffs with the 09 schedule, I can say without hesitation they will not lay down for anyone ... and they will give teams all they can handle. Were there non-football related issues that kept these teams out of the Western Wayne? I'll plead ignorance as I'm not aware of either team's stature in the rest of MHSAA sports.

I don't know anything about it either. My guess is the rest of the sports may have kept them out of it, but I think it would make sense to have them as a member for football, and basketball. I think that would benefit the league, and HP as well. But that could be against MHSAA rules, so who knows.

All-Searn Hall of Fame Posts: 7012 03/30/09 8:54 PM Board Owner http://michiganhsfootball.com http://ndfanzone.com	Looks like HP decided not to include the alternative ed students for 2009? (I assume with such an enrollment rise and drop) 2007: 880 2008: 1,385 2009: 925 I wonder if a few of HP's opponents are upset that they are now playing a "B" school .... and losing out on potential playoff points.
