Girls Lacrosse Regional Preview.

Written Thursday May 13th at 10:00 AM

Here are my previews and insight for the regionals for Girls Lacrosse.

Region 3 @ Troy

Grosse Pointe South vs. BIRMINGHAM

BLOOMFIELD HILLS vs. Grosse Pointe North

Detroit Cass Tech vs. WEST BLOOMFIELD

Utica Eisenhower vs. ROCHESTER

Grosse Pointe South/BIRMINGHAM vs. Chippewa Valley

BLOOMFIELD HILLS/Grosse Pointe North vs. TROY ATHENS

Detroit Cass Tech/WEST BLOOMFIELD vs. Utica Ford

Utica Eisenhower/ROCHESTER vs. Troy

INSIGHT/PROJECTION: This is a very interesting regional. There are two state powers really stand out in Birmingham United and Bloomfield Hills. There really isn’t any true darkhorses. I expect that these two teams will meet again in the regional finals. The Bulldogs have done very well against the Blackhawks so I really don’t see anything different right now. PICK: BIRMINGHAM.

 

Region 4 @ Fenton

Waterford vs. Walled Lake

OXFORD vs. LAKE ORION

Davison vs. Grand Blanc

Midland vs. Hartland

Waterford/Walled Lake vs. Huron Valley

OXFORD/LAKE ORION vs. Holly/Brandon

Davison/Grand Blanc vs. Fenton

Midland/Hartland vs. CLARKSTON

INSIGHT/PROJECTION: This is shaping up to be an interesting regional final pending if both teams get there between Lake Orion and Hartland. The Dragons have had a very good season winning the White and went up to eighth in the State. The Eagles have been very consistent all season long. It would be interesting as mentioned if both teams get there but too much experience with Hartland so have to go with the Eagles moving on. PICK: HARTLAND.

 

Region 6 @ Ann Arbor Skyline

Ann Arbor Father Gabriel Richard vs. Temperance Bedford

Lake Fenton vs. Ann Arbor Skyline

FARMINGTON vs. Tecumseh

Walled Lake Northern vs. Farmington Hills Mercy

Ann Arbor Father Gabriel Richard/Temperance Bedford vs. Dearborn Divine Child

Lake Fenton/Ann Arbor Skyline vs. Wixom St. Catherine Siena

FARMINGTON/Tecumseh vs. NORTH FARMINGTON

Walled Lake Northern/Farmington Hills Mercy vs. Dexter

INSIGHT/PROJECTION: This is shaping up to be an interesting regional over in Ann Arbor. There are two teams that really stand out in Dearborn Divine Child and Farmington. Both teams have had very good seasons and are currently ranked in the State. I think Dearborn Divine Child has a slight edge but the Falcons are right there. I don’t like to pick the favorite all the time so here is my first upset pick give me Farmington. PICK: FARMINGTON.

 

Region 7 @ Birmingham Detroit Country Day

Warren Regina vs. Birmingham Detroit Country Day

Bloomfield Hills Academy of Sacred Heart vs. ADAMS

Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook-Kingswood vs. AVONDALE

Warren Regina/Birmingham Detroit Country Day vs. Birmingham Marian

STONEY CREEK vs. ROYAL OAK

Bloomfield Hills Academy of Sacred Heart/ADAMS vs. Pontiac Notre Dame Prep

Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook-Kingswood/AVONDALE vs. Grosse Pointe University Liggett

INSIGHT/PROJECTION: There are some pretty good teams in this regional. You have three proven teams in Birmingham Detroit Country Day, Grosse Pointe University Liggett, and Birmingham Marian. The Yellow Jackets and Mustangs could meet in the quarterfinals which would be very interesting. I think Grosse Pointe University Liggett will move on to the next round. PICK: GROSSE POINTE UNIVERSITY LIGGETT.

About Me

My photo
I have highest function of autism (Asperger Syndrome.) I'm a huge Dallas Stars fan. I like to play and watch football, especially when the Dragons play on Friday nights. 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'm the volleyball, girls basketball, and football announcer for the team and do the book on the road for girls basketball. 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. I'm a trained weather spotter for the National Weather Service for Oakland and Huron counties.
