Final Boys Basketball Top 23.

Written Sunday March 4th at 10:45 AM

Hello to all, I apologize for not having a Girls Basketball Final Top 22 so anyway here is the final Top 23 for Boys Basketball.

1. Clarkston (19-1): Wolves won by 10 over Hazel Park giving them the Red outright and without Foster Loyer. Loyer will seek a second opinion on Monday to see if he can play or not in districts which are at home.

2. Oak Park (16-3): Knights have won 15 straight games since starting 1-3 giving them the White crown. A tough district at Detroit Renaissance looms for Oak Park.

3. Troy (15-5): Colts are starting to get hot at the right time heading into districts which are being held at home.

4. Orion (17-3): Dragons have won 11 of it's last 12 games leading them to a share of the Blue title. A tough matchup awaits at Clarkston on Wednesday.

5. Hazel Park (18-2): Wondering where the Vikings heads are at after losing to Clarkston??? Need to bounce back quick which a rematch with Detroit University-Detroit Jesuit looming at Detroit Renaissance on Wednesday.

6. Rochester (16-4): Falcons had to survive Harrison on it's Senior Night giving them a share of the Blue title. Wonder if that might be an omen of things to come at Stoney Creek when they play Utica Eisenhower.

7. West Bloomfield (11-9): Lakers tough schedule has helped them get ready for this point. They host districts but have a likely clash with Orchard Lake St. Marys on Wednesday, oh boy.

8. Troy Athens (15-5): Red Hawks look vulnerable after losing two out of three. Troy Athens better be careful of Seaholm at Troy on Monday.

9. Farmington (13-6): Falcons have won five of six since losing to Pontiac. Farmington looks prime to make a playoff run which starts on Monday at Southfield Arts and Tech against Harrison.

10. Adams (12-8): The young Highlanders have been up and down as of late but give coach Brad Crighton credit for turning this team around so quickly. Now they await either Stoney Creek or Romeo on Wednesday.

11. Avondale (11-9): Yellow Jackets have won three of four and could be a darkhorse candidate if they can get by Waterford Mott again on Wednesday but first it's Waterford Kettering at West Bloomfield.

12. Stoney Creek (9-11): Cougars have lost four straight heading into districts, which are at home but the problem for Stoney Creek is Romeo is not an easy game for them.

13. Groves (9-11): Falcons have lost four of six which not a good omen heading into districts at Southfield Arts and Tech. Groves will await the winner of North Farmington/Southfield Arts and Tech on Wednesday.

14. Oxford (7-13): Wildcats have won two of three to close out the regular season. Now they are at Clarkston for districts awaiting the winner of Brandon and Holly on Wednesday.

15. Seaholm (7-13): Maples have been hot and cold lately but that could all change on Monday when they are at Troy for districts against Troy Athens.

16. North Farmington (8-12): Raiders have been playing 500 ball lately. Not a good sign either when you lose twice to Bloomfield Hills. North Farmington will be a team to watch in the districts at Southfield Arts and Tech.

17. Royal Oak (8-12): Ravens have lost three straight heading into districts. That's not a good sign heading into districts especially when they are at Troy.

18. Bloomfield Hills (6-14): Blackhawks have won two straight heading into districts but the bad news for Bloomfield Hills is they will have to play at West Bloomfield on Monday.

19. Southfield Arts and Tech (4-16): Warriors picked up a big win over Dearborn Gabriel Richard. Cameron McEvans will need to have another few big games if Southfield Arts and Tech wants to win their district which is at home.

20. Ferndale (6-13): Eagles have really been struggling since beating Berkley in that wild and crazy game. Thankfully for them they should get their groove a bit back until they meet Birmingham Detroit Country Day on Friday.

21. Pontiac (5-14): It's going to be a tough matchup for the Phoenix on Monday at Pontiac Notre Dame Prep with New Haven and Romeo Weems.

22. Berkley (10-10): Bears have lost 10 of it's last 11 games and have a tough one on Monday with Detroit Renaissance, oh boy.

23. Harrison (5-15): Hawks have been playing better but have lost six straight heading into districts. Harrison will play on Wednesday at Southfield Arts and Tech against Farmington.
