Region Four @ Atwood Stadium

Rochester vs Walled Lake Central

This is an interesting matchup for the Falcons as they head into Genesee County and legendary Flint Atwood Stadium take on the Vikings of Walled Lake Central. Rochester is rolling but a difficult matchup with the Vikings loom. If the Falcons win this game then they will have to see either Grand Blanc or Midland Dow. Both of those teams are solid teams. It won’t be an easy regional in Flint.

Region Three @ Bloomfield Hills

Troy vs Grosse Pointe South

The Colts won a really tough district at Groves and is riding a ton of momentum right now. Troy will take on a Grosse Pointe South team that won an interesting district. The Blue Devils are improving so this will be a dangerous matchup for the Colts. The winner of this game will take on either Sterling Heights Stevenson or Utica Eisenhower. This regional is made for Troy to go far and deep into the playoffs.

Region Six @ Farmington

Harrison vs Gibraltar Carlson/Dearborn Divine Child

The Hawks shocked the soccer world by winning the district final at home 1-0 over Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook Kingswood. They were supposed to play Hamtramck but the Cosmos violated MHSAA rules that stated in Section Seven regarding academic conduct was violated because they used an ineligible player. It was determined that there was academic misconduct that occurred in the soccer program along with their football program which was 7-2 at the time. As a result the Cosmos were forced to forfeit not only their whole football season but also a chance to play soccer in the regional. Harrison will not play on Tuesday and will move on to the regional final on Thursday to play either Dearborn Divine Child or Gibraltar Carlson.
