Could Novi be a perfect fit into the league???

The league could be at an interesting place come this summer when it comes to expansion but an interesting possibility of bringing in one school that has rivalries against OAA Schools.

This school does have a rich athletic tradition and has recently brought hardware into it's school trophy case.

They are the Novi Wildcats.

Novi is an interesting school in the Kensington Lakes Activities Association and with the KLAA in turmoil, the Wildcats could look at a new conference. Novi won the State Championship for Class A in Volleyball last season and is a State Volleyball power.

The Wildcats also pulled off a shocking upset in the State Football Playoffs by taking out undefeated and Red Champion West Bloomfield last season as well.

Novi had a strong Boys Basketball season in 2015-2016 rebounding from a time where the program really had fallen on hard times and also the Girls Basketball program had a strong season as well in the 2015-2016 season.

Novi is interesting because they are located in Oakland County and are geographically close to Farmington, North Farmington, Harrison, West Bloomfield, and Southfield Arts and Technology.

It could be possible that Novi could ask the league to bring their southern rivals Northville into play if they want too. The Mustangs however are located in Wayne County and their high school is on Six Mile Road but two and a half miles of the Northville School District is located in Oakland County.

The question I would have involving Northville is does that two and a half miles qualify in making Northville an Oakland County School???

Interesting debate, we'll see what happens.
