1. Who Wins the Red, North Farmington,
Adams, or Clarkston???
The Red could be the most entertaining division this
season with three teams ranked in the State and one team that has a player
scoring gaudy numbers. Clarkston and North Farmington brought in some transfers
that have helped their teams while Adams has relied on experience. Southfield
has a sick player whom scored 50 points in a loss. Troy Athens will struggle in this division and Lathrup will compete in their final season as a school. The Wolves sit at 2-1 on the
season, the Highlanders sit at 3-0 and have to play Novi in the Roundball
coming up, while the Raiders sit at 2-1 with two games in the Roundball against
Michigan City, Indiana and Detroit Loyola. The Blue Jays sit at 2-2 with tough
games coming up against Detroit Martin Luther King at Detroit Cass Tech, along
with Roundball Games against West Bloomfield and Chicago, Illinois Hyde Park.
The Red will be fun to watch for sure.
2. Stoney Creek, Rochester, Orion will
Come down to the Wire.
When looking at the Blue, Orion, Stoney Creek, and
Rochester seem to have the best shot at winning the crown. I’m not sold on
Farmington as they are not consistent despite playing a tough non-conference
schedule. Seaholm is very scrappy but they have offensive liability issues. Oxford is going through a lot right now with the departure of coach Stephan Henning. The
Cougars look like they are a complete team on paper with their strength being
strong outside shooting and it has led them to a 4-0 record. The Falcons are
1-25 in their last 26 games will get some wins in this division. They are
experienced and talented but guard heavy, Rochester will be tested against
Detroit University Prep at the Rochester Holiday Classic. Orion is guard heavy
as well but the lack of post is a major concern for the Dragons even though
they sit at 3-1. There won’t be any days off in this division to say the least.
3. West Bloomfield Will Be Challenged in
White.
The Lakers were the most talked about team in the
division and for good reason with the team they have. West Bloomfield’s only
loss on the season came against Macomb Dakota, sit 3-1 and they will play in
the Roundball against Southfield. The Lakers will be challenged though this
season with Avondale, whom have been in two double overtime games this season,
Pontiac who is very solid, Oak Park when they have their full team together
will be dangerous under first year coach Jamie Thomas, Troy who is well coached
and always scrappy, and Bloomfield Hills who is led by a former West Bloomfield
assistant in Mike Maryanski. Like the Red this division could be one of the
toughest in the State.
4. Who Challenges Hazel Park???
The Gold could be a three team race with some of the
teams getting big non-conference wins. Hazel Park is the early favorite with
their 2-2 record but they have played good teams like Bloomfield Hills, Detroit
Public Safety Academy, and Cornerstone. The Blackhawks lost to Groves, a team
that will be there as well. The Falcons lost a tough game to Southfield and sit
3-1 on the season. The other contender is Royal Oak, the Ravens destroyed Oak
Park and have a very good guard tandem. Royal Oak will play in the Madison
Heights Bishop Foley tournament and has a great shot to win the tournament. Ferndale will be decent but not strong enough to compete with the big three, Berkley is very young, and Harrison will struggle. The
Vikings, Ravens, and Falcons have great shots at winning this division and
making some noise in March.
