Also the records will be updated after Saturday's games at Ypsilanti Arbor Prep, Warren Fitzgerald, and Grand Rapids Ottawa Hills are concluded.

Boys

STOCK HIGH

Clarkston (10-2, Rank 1): Wolves rolling on all cylinders right now.

Adams (10-2, Rank 2): Highlanders have won 10 straight since losing to Lake Orion and Oxford.

Oxford (11-0, Rank 3): Wildcats control their destiny in the Blue.

Pontiac (11-1, Rank 4): Phoenix will get Oxford again at Sy Green Gym.

STOCK MEDIUM

North Farmington (8-3, Rank 5): Raiders have won three straight but they have Bloomfield Hills looming which they have lost three straight to the Blackhawks.

West Bloomfield (5-6, Rank 6): Lakers missing Donovan Moore right now and it’s showing.

Lake Orion (7-5, Rank 7): Dragons decision making is a big reason why they have lost three straight.

Farmington (7-4, Rank 8): Falcons have not been consistent since losing to Stoney Creek.

Ferndale (5-6, Rank 9): Eagles have struggled defensively which has coach Juan Rickman concerned.

Groves (8-4, Rank 10): Falcons the most surprise team in the White.

Oak Park (6-5, Rank 11): Knights haven’t been consistent at times which could be a problem come playoff time.

Troy (7-5, Rank 12): Getting first league win was a huge step in the right direction.

Bloomfield Hills (5-7, Rank 13): Blackhawks get Clarkston and a North Farmington team that they own this week.

Stoney Creek (5-7, Rank 14): Cougars have played better lately.

Southfield Arts and Tech (6-4, Rank 15): Warriors have won three straight since the Groves disaster.

STOCK DOWN

Berkley (5-5, Rank 16): Any time your student section storms the court is a good thing but the bad news your rival is going to remember this and play harder the next time you play.

Harrison (6-5, Rank 17): Hawks putting up points but they are also allowing points as well, they just allowed 100 points to Ferndale on Thursday.

Avondale (3-8, Rank 18): Yellow Jackets interior remains a concern moving forward.

Royal Oak (4-6, Rank 19): I’m a loss for words with the Ravens.

Seaholm (3-8, Rank 20): It’s good to see the Maples get into the win column.

Troy Athens (2-10, Rank 21): When you have lost five straight games and you Detroit University of Detroit Jesuit looming, that’s not good for the Red Hawks.

Rochester (1-10, Rank 22): Falcons will get a big boost next week.

Hazel Park (1-10, Rank 23): The Vikings are ready for the MAC right now.
