Written Sunday March 7th at 6:00 PM

Here are the top 22 and top 20 for basketball throughout the OAA. I look at how teams are playing right now as we speak and the rankings tell themselves from my point of view. Here they are.

Boys Top 22.

1. Ferndale (8-1) - Jack Kennedy has really surprised some folks.

2. Adams (9-3) - Jaret Thomas has done a heck of a coaching job with the Highlanders.

3. Clarkston (9-3) - Keegan Waslik is back with a vengeance.

4. North Farmington (6-2) - Raiders no longer control their own destiny in the Red.

5. Lake Orion (9-2) - Dragons are clicking on all cylinders.

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 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.
