Softball Regional Preview.

Written Saturday June 3rd at 9:40 PM

Well here is the regional for Girls Softball that will be taking place at Clarkston on Saturday.

Region Seven @ Clarkston

CLARKSTON vs SEAHOLM

This one will be interesting because the Wolves are now at home and are primed to do some damage. Clarkston shut out Oxford in the district final at Orion which featured three teams that had honorable mentions in the State. The Maples offense really showed up in the district round, outscoring both Troy and Bloomfield Hills by a combined 30-12 in that stretch of games. Seaholm is riding a ton of confidence heading into this matchup. The Maples though will have a lot going against them in this regional considering that Clarkston is the opponent and it’s on their home field.

TROY ATHENS vs Utica Eisenhower

The Eagles will bring a prolific offense into this regional in Clarkston. They pounded Adams and Romeo by a combined 22-5 score in the district round. The Red Hawks have cruised in their district destroying the competition by a combined 24-0. This matchup it will be much different for Troy Athens because Utica Eisenhower is a much different team and they are much better defensibly then their two previously teams.

INSIGHT/PREDICTION: This looks like it will be a Clarkston/Utica Eisenhower Regional Final shaping up. Both teams will have no problem winning their semifinal matchups to play each other. The Wolves have played a tough schedule but so has the Eagles playing Macomb Dakota and Utica Ford in the Macomb Area Conference. Home Field matters in this matchup so that’s whom I’m going with to win this regional. PICK: CLARKSTON.
