Boys Regional Preview.

Written Sunday March 15th at 9:05 PM

Clarkston vs Avondale: Monday 6 PM at Troy: When you look at the Troy regional, you look at the two matchups, Macomb Dakota vs Utica Eisenhower and this matchup. Macomb Dakota looks to be the favorite in the Macomb County matchup but when you look at the Oakland County matchup, Clarkston looks to be the favorite, undefeated record 22-0, deep bench, very talented, and have played a much tougher schedule than you think but you look at Avondale they have an outside shot at possibly doing the impossible, the Yellow Jackets are a much better road team than at home, they won at Troy Athens on a buzzer beater in the district final.

This will be a good game but at the end of the day we are looking at a Clarkston/Macomb Dakota regional final. The Cougars are a different team than the Wolves last saw them with their three transfers from Mount Clemens, Macomb Dakota could get the Wolves this time around. Very dangerous match up for Clarkston.

North Farmington vs Oak Park: Monday 5:30 PM at Southfield: The Raiders and Knights have had to deal with controversy this season. The Raiders are dealing with Billy Thomas not playing because of an MSHAA Investigation while the Knights dealt with the departure of coach Bryan Tipton and star player Kevon Fuller because of a cheating scandal. The second game features U-D Jesuit and Redford Thurston in which that favors the Cubs whom had to survive Southfield in the District Final the other night.

A possible regional final would feature North Farmington/U-D Jesuit in which that matchup should be an interesting game between those two teams with the talent both teams have.

We'll see what happens. Stay tuned to OAA Now for complete coverage.
