Boys.

1. Hazel Park (8-0)- Vikings sitting pretty right now in the Red. Should be tested on Friday at West Bloomfield.

2. Clarkston (9-1)- Foster Loyer put up 30 against Detroit Pershing now they wait until Friday.

3. Troy (6-2)- If the Colts lost to Clarkston by five points without Jason Dietz, just wait until the next time those two meet and Dietz would be in the lineup.

4. West Bloomfield (3-3)- Lakers back at 500 and rolling right now.

5. Troy Athens (7-2)- Red Hawks have been up and down lately, need to improve on consistency to make that next step.

6. Rochester (7-2)- Falcons held serve at home against Orion but the road hasn't been kind to them where they are 1-2 thus far. We shall see how they do when they are back on the road against two quality teams.

7. Orion (6-2)- Dragons lost a tough one to Rochester. All good teams have a bad night and that's what happened Thursday night. Might be time to ditch the green jerseys they are 0-2 in them.

8. Berkley (8-0)- We'll know a lot about the Bears on Tuesday when they play Rochester. First time since 1984 that Berkley has been unbeaten is an accomplishment but the teams they have played are a combined 17-41 thus far.

9. Oxford (5-3)- Wildcats getting back on track after a tough loss to Groves. Finally starting to get their groove back.

10. Adams (5-2)- Highlanders in a bit of a funk. This is a big week for them with two good teams they play this week.


Girls.

1. Clarkston (8-2)- Wolves bounced back against a solid North Farmington team but got snowed out Friday. Will host Bloomfield Hills on Thursday which should be interesting.

2. Royal Oak (8-1)- Ravens rolling right now, wonder how they would do in the Red???

3. Groves (8-2)- Despite a hiccup against Royal Oak, the Falcons have been rolling lately.

4. Southfield Arts and Tech (6-5)- Warriors riding Alexis Johnson and Cheyenne McEvans. They go to Orion on Thursday.

5. Avondale (5-1)- Yellow Jackets have been winning ugly lately but they are getting the job done.

6. Farmington (7-2)- Falcons are off to a great start, credit that to the impact Olivia Perkins has made on that team. Will be tested against North Farmington this week.

7. North Farmington (6-4)- Raiders have been struggling a bit. They have a big one on Tuesday against Farmington if they want to snap a four game losing streak.

8. Oxford (7-2)- Wildcats benefiting from the White but winning ugly games.

9. Bloomfield Hills (5-3)-Three Point shooting helps but relying on it too much can be dangerous.

10. Stoney Creek (3-7)- Cougars destroyed Adams last week wonder if they are starting to turn the corner a bit???

About Me

I have highest function of autism (Asperger Syndrome.) I'm a huge Dallas Stars fan. I like to play and watch football, especially when the Dragons play on Friday nights. I am a 2006 alum and used to play football for the Dragons. I ran track, I ran the 100, 200, 400 meter dashes along with shot-put and discus. During my time in Orion I was a manager for Junior Varsity Boys Basketball team. I'm the volleyball, girls basketball, and football announcer for the team and do the book on the road for girls basketball. I do the clock for volleyball in the fall along with girls basketball in the winter and announce some boys basketball games as well. In the spring I coach shot-put at Scripps Middle School, in my fifth season coaching. I run the shot-put for high school meets. I played Special Olympics Basketball, I've won three gold medals for them. I host "Between Taorminas" which is on ONTV along with a podcast called "OAA Now". In other various things outside of Lake Orion, I love to jet ski over Saginaw Bay. Saginaw Bay is basically my life. I'm a trained weather spotter for the National Weather Service for Oakland and Huron counties.
