OAK PARK 34, Birmingham Brother Rice 14.

The Knights won their first district championship since 2012 with a convincing home victory over Birmingham Brother Rice and they do with a solid rushing attack from a big and great offensive line. Torriano Richardson, the younger brother of John Kelly had 139 yards and four touchdowns in the game. Oak Park’s defense did just enough to shut down the Warriors. The Knights will play at Wayne State in the Regional Final against Warren DeLaSalle whom shut out Port Huron Northern 50-0 and have outscored their opponents by a combined 96-0 next week.


HARRISON 33, Warren Woods Tower 0

The Hawks just like last week against Warren Fitzgerald were dominant against the Titans shutting them down on both sides of the football. Running back Roedrick Hurd was the story of the game as he scored four touchdowns and went over 100 yards in rushing. Harrison dominated in all phases of the game and over matched Warren Woods Tower on their home field. The Hawks will go to Linden next week to take on the Eagles in a Regional Final.


Utica Eisenhower 10, ADAMS 6.

The Highlanders lost a hard-fought battle to Utica Eisenhower at Sweinhart Field. The difference of the game was a 37 yard touchdown from Jack Morris whom replaced Max Wittmer whom is out with an knee injury to Ben Metz with 1:27 left in the game. Adams defense was stout all night but the offense could not finish drives. Got to credit the Utica Eisenhower defense, which is traditionally very good, they shut the Highlanders down. Adams got two field goals from Ben Patton, one from 21 yards and the other from 34 yards. The Highlanders finished the season at 9-2. The Eagles host West Bloomfield next week at Sweinhart Field.


WEST BLOOMFIELD 41, Waterford Mott 7.

This was a shocker to say the least that featured two high octane offenses, one came to play while the other did not in Waterford. The Lakers used a running game and took advantage of Waterford Mott’s mistakes in the process to get their first ever district title. Colin Heard ran for two touchdowns, while Shameer Dennis added two scores, and Bryce Veasley added one score. Nick O’Shea was brilliant, he connected on two field goals, one from 20 yards and the other from 36 yards. West Bloomfield's defense shut down Dave McCullum and the Corsairs offense. Nick Seidel had two interceptions in the game. The Lakers will go to Sweinhart Field next week and take on Utica Eisenhower in their first ever Regional Final.



CLARKSTON 28, Davison 0.

In a matchup between the Wolves and Cardinals that took place on Saturday night in Davison. The Cardinals have no excuses, they had Clarkston on a Saturday night on grass, and they were motivated after last season’s 31-14 loss. Davison coach Kyle Zimmerman and the Cardinals administration have no more excuses and it showed. Clarkston was just better than Davison. Josh Cantu had 258 rushing yards and four touchdowns. Cantu should thank his offensive line that was dominant all night against the Cardinals defense that has done well handing their opponents until tonight. The Wolves whom had 274 yards of total offense also used their defense to shut down Tariq Reid for the second straight season. Clarkston will go to the west side of the State to take on Holland West Ottawa next week in the Regional Final.
