BIG WIN: Adams: The Highlanders sent a message that they are
for real when they beat Southfield Arts and Tech 38-14 setting up a big
showdown with Clarkston next week. Adams used a strong second half to put the
Warriors away. The Highlanders are proving right now that they are in good
shape heading into postseason play.
TOUGH LOSS: Seaholm: The Maples have had two tough losses to
both Rochester schools in the last two weeks, first it was to Rochester where
they fell 28-27 and last week they lost 16-14 to Stoney Creek. Seaholm has been
dealing with injuries but they have been in games where they could had won. The
Maples have to go to Troy next week, that is another winnable game for Seaholm.
It would help their confidence if they beat the Colts next week.
TEAM ON THE RISE: Groves: If only the Falcons can address
their in-house issues after a 21-3 win over Troy on Thursday night. Groves has
big wins over Harrison and Novi which is really helping their cause. The
Falcons haven’t lost a beat and they host Rochester next week.
TEAM THAT’S IN TROUBLE: Farmington: The Falcons have no
direction at all and is in deep trouble after a 45-26 loss to Avondale on
Thursday. Farmington couldn’t stop anyone on defense, something that they have
had problems in the last two seasons. I just don’t like the direction the
program is going right now. The Falcons have lost 15 of their last 16 games
(including the Walled Lake Western game where they got forfeit win) dating back
to the 2015 season. Farmington is in deep trouble, a disaster in making right
now.
WHAT HAPPENED: Royal Oak: The Ravens had a 24-0 lead and
everyone thought an upset would happen, that was until the Eagles went on a
42-7 run to stun Royal Oak on the road 42-31 on Friday night. Ferndale battled
back and never gave up putting up a strong second half performance when they
trailed 31-14 at the half. This is a big win for coach Eric Royal. For coach
Ray McMann, I don’t know what to say, this is demoralizing for the Ravens being
at home and having the Eagles on the ropes but instead they let Ferndale off
the hook. It wouldn’t surprise me next season that the Eagles move up to the
White.
TEAM THAT NEEDS A HUG: Orion: It’s been a long season for
the Dragons and losing 27-21 to Bloomfield Hills hurts but I like the direction
where this program is going. Orion has talent waiting in the wings but they
have to address some things, particularly in the secondary but anyway coach
John Blackstock has this team in the right direction, even though the record
says 1-5, the schedule has been very brutal, so this might be the team to
give a pass to this season.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME: Berkley: The Bears have lost five of six
games but this put the icing to the cake when Berkley got destroyed 62-0 by Oak
Park on Thursday night. I know the Knights are good and all that but what does
this say for coach Billy Keenist’s team??? 62 points is the most points allowed
since they allowed 61 to Owosso back in 1951. The Bears will be back at Hurley
Field next week when they play Stoney Creek.
