Royal Oak (7-0, Rank 3): Ravens will be in for a tough patch coming up in a few weeks.

Avondale (6-1, Rank 5): Yellow Jackets are still fine but we will know a lot about them this week.

Stoney Creek (5-1, Rank 2): Team Finebaum is the most underrated team no one talks about. Lily DiPani is the most underrated guard in Oakland County.

West Bloomfield (5-1, Rank 4): Lakers are rolling right now especially after a big win over Avondale.

STOCK MEDIUM

Berkley (5-1, Rank 12): Please play someone legit, the team you played that was legit was the one you lost to this season.

Clarkston (1-5, Rank 6): Great win for the Wolves over Bloomfield Hills but schedule still vicious.

Oxford (3-2, Rank 7): Wildcats starting to get things together right now.

Troy (5-1, Rank 8): Colts should be tested when they play Stoney Creek this week, looked shaky last week.

Lake Orion (3-2, Rank 10): Need to fix some things quick after two tough home league losses. This week is huge for them.

Adams (2-4, Rank 11): Highlanders still have some flaws they need to fix despite winning at Troy Athens on Friday night.

Farmington (1-5, Rank 17): Falcons are in a tough patch right now that needs to be addressed.

Pontiac (3-5, Rank 19): Losers of five straight thankfully they have Pontiac Academy of Excellence which the Phoenix should snap the losing streak this week.

Oak Park (4-3, Rank 20): Knights lack of depth is a big concern right now.

Ferndale (3-3), Rank 21): Eagles have lost two straight which is something they need to fix and quick.

Troy Athens (1-4, Rank 15): Red Hawks coming off a tough loss to Adams need a bounce back in the worst way.

Seaholm (3-2, Rank 18): I’m still not buying this team despite beating the teams they are supposed to beat.

Groves (2-5, Rank 14): Nothing you can do after battling Southfield Arts and Tech, just got to move onto next week.

Rochester (1-4, Rank 13): Get ready for a nice run.

Hazel Park (0-7, Rank 22): Vikings have not been competitive lately. It’s going to be a long year for Hazel Park.
