Lacrosse State Semifinal Preview.

Written Saturday June 5th at 4:50 PM

Boys Lacrosse

LAKE ORION vs Birmingham Brother Rice @ Troy Athens

Hartland vs Novi Detroit Catholic Central @ Howell Parker Middle School

INSIGHT/PREDICTION: Looking at the State Semifinal matchups both of them are very interesting. In the Lake Orion/Birmingham Brother Rice matchup Dragons coach Ron Herbert takes on his former school in which he turned the Warriors into a consistent State Power. In the Hartland/Novi Detroit Catholic Central matchup both the Eagles and Shamrocks are no strangers to each other meeting in the postseason in most years. It’s shaping up to be no different when looking at it. Birmingham Brother Rice and Novi Detroit Catholic Central are like the Lakers and the Celtics in the old classic NBA. Lake Orion reminds me of the Detroit Pistons whom in the past have dented the dynasties of the Lakers and the Celtics. Hartland is in the same fold as Lake Orion when it comes to the Pistons. It’s going to be hard to beat the Lakers and the Celtics like what Lake Orion and Hartland have to do but it seems very doable. However until someone breaks the Catholic League’s stronghold in Boys Lacrosse it's looking like it will be another Birmingham Brother Rice/Novi Detroit Catholic Central state final with the Warriors winning the crown but I hope I’m wrong and either the Dragons and or Eagles can break through would be a great storyline.

 

Girls Lacrosse @ Haslett

BLOOMFIELD HILLS vs Brighton

Midland vs Rockford

INSIGHT/PREDICTION: Bloomfield Hills has finally broken the reign of Birmingham United when they beat the Bulldogs in the regional semifinals on route to a regional championship. The Blackhawks will have a very tough task of taking on Brighton in Haslett. On the other side there is Midland vs Rockford. The Rams are a proven powerhouse in Girls Lacrosse while the Cavaliers are the upstarts after upsetting Hartland in the pre-regionals. I think until proven otherwise that anyone can beat Rockford, I just don’t see anyone really doing that but anything is possible.

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.
