BIG WIN: West Bloomfield: What a game between two green and white teams in Dragon Country on Saturday night. The Lakers overcame a 31-17 fourth quarter deficit to tie it at 31-31 and force overtime. West Bloomfield and Lake Orion went back and forth taking punch after punch in overtime but at the end of the day it was the Lakers that won in four overtimes 59-52. This game was tied for the ninth highest game in State history with 111 total points scored. Both of these teams played their tails off. Neither team deserved to lose. West Bloomfield plays Adams next week in the Swamp while the Dragons travel to Bloomfield Hills on the Blackhawks homecoming next week.

TOUGH LOSS: Seaholm: The Maples had a very tough matchup with Adams on Friday night but it was the Highlanders who earned a huge 17-6 victory on their homecoming. Seaholm made some mistakes early including a fumble against a very stout Adams defense. The Maples will need to get back to the drawing board next week as they host Oak Park. The Highlanders will be tested next week when they go to the Swamp to play West Bloomfield.

WHAT HAPPENED: Southfield Arts and Tech: The Warriors had only scored 15 points in two weeks since beating Clarkston 28-14 in week one but things have changed. They have exploded in the last two weeks outscoring their respective opponents 120-38 which included a 660-12 blowout last week over Bloomfield Hills. Southfield Arts and Tech whom still has to play River Rouge and Adams will have a rematch with Clarkston next week on the Wolves homecoming.

TEAM THAT NEED A HUG: Stoney Creek: The Cougars were in it with the Knights on their homecoming on Friday night even taking a 7-6 lead into the fourth quarter but Oak Park scored two touchdowns giving them a huge 20-7 victory over Stoney Creek. The Cougars will need to win out as the schedule gets tough starting with Oxford next week followed by games against Groves, Rochester, and Adams. The Knights will head to the Maple Forest to play Seaholm next week.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME: Royal Oak: The Ravens saw their playoff hopes falter in a tough 19-14 loss to Southgate Anderson on Friday night. The Titans started off fast taking a 19-0 lead but Royal Oak rallied scoring 14 points in the fourth quarter but it wasn’t enough as Southgate Anderson survived on their home field. The Ravens will have North Farmington coming to Royal Oak for homecoming next week.

TEAM THAT ME SHAKE MY HEAD: Troy: The Colts have had issues scoring points. Many experts thought that this would be the game that Troy would score against Rochester but that wasn’t the case as the Falcons blew out the Colts 37-0 on Friday night leaving them still scoreless on the season. The Colts have a really tough stretch looming in the next two weeks with Groves and Oak Park. Rochester will host Troy Athens next week.
