Region Four @ Bloomfield Hills
The Regional Semifinals will take place on Tuesday with the
Regional Final taking place on Thursday.
Stoney Creek vs Birmingham Marian
The Cougars and Mustangs should know each other well. Birmingham
Marian coach Lauren Duquette should know Stoney Creek really well since she
coached a few of the girls in AAU and when she coached at Rochester. Cougars
coach Ross Talbott should know the Mustangs well because his team has seen
Birmingham Marian in tournaments. Stoney Creek won their first district title
in school history with a five-set win over Utica Eisenhower and a sweep of
Romeo. Birmingham Marian won the West Bloomfield districts with sweeps of
Waterford Mott, Bloomfield Hills, and Adams.
Clarkston vs Troy
The Wolves and Colts know each other well. They are both in
the same division and met at Troy with Clarkston winning in four games. The
Colts have Fran McBride, Kelsey Moeller, and Jessica Robinson for coach Tom
Vigilant. The big three were instrumental in winning the Troy Athens district
with a sweep of the Red Hawks and a five game thriller against Seaholm. Clarkston
won their district with a shocking four game win over Orion and a sweep of
Brandon to get here. The Wolves are led by Abby Malanowski and Claire Nowicki. This
could be an interesting matchup to say the least.
PICKS:
I think this is going to be a Birmingham Marian/Clarkston Regional
Final. I think the Stoney Creek/Birmingham Marian matchup will go five games
and the Clarkston/Troy game will go four games. I think the Wolves beat the
Mustangs in four games. Clarkston remembers what happen to them last season
when they were upset by Fenton in the Regional Final. I know the Wolves want
another shot at the Tigers in the State Quarterfinal. I like Clarkston to win this Regional and get another shot at Fenton. PICK:
CLARKSTON.
