BIG WIN: Southfield Arts and Tech. The Warriors benched their quarterback Sam Johnson III in favor of John Darby. Darby was huge in throwing two touchdowns and Southfield Arts and Tech needed a field goal to beat Warren Mott 24-23 at Sterling Heights. The Warriors will now get a playoff game at home against West Bloomfield.

TOUGH LOSS: Orion. If you watched the Orion/Chippewa Valley football game, then you might have missed a rerun of that game at Romeo on Friday night. The Bulldogs used the same exact game plan from that week one game at Wayne State on route to a 14-3 win over the Dragons. Orion made the playoffs for the first time after a two-year absence but the offense had three opportunities to score but could not do it. Romeo moves onto meet Waterford Mott while the Dragons have to get ready for next season.

TEAM THAT NEEDS A HUG: Adams. The Highlanders let Keith Fields run wild on them in Rochester on Friday night. Adams though tried to comeback from 28-0 down but they ran out of time in a 28-21 win for Waterford Mott on Friday night. It was the first ever playoff victory for the Corsairs in their school history. The Highlanders lose a ton of experience and will be young next season.

WHAT HAPPENED: Ferndale. Well you might as well want to give the Eagles a pass after they were placed in a tough matchup with Detroit Martin Luther King in the first round of the playoffs 38-14. Ferndale had a successful season and made the playoffs for the first time since 2008. The Eagles hope to continue the stretch heading into next season.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME: Bloomfield Hills. The Blackhawks lost their starting quarterback John Paddock with a concussion and their undefeated record along with it with a 31-14 loss to 5-4 West Bloomfield. The Lakers will move onto to play Southfield Arts and Tech. Bloomfield Hills had it’s best season ever this year and will look to make strides into next season to set their foundation.
