First Impressions

After taking down heavy favorite Lake Orion, Rochester Adams now has the look of a legit contender. After starting the season with plenty of expectations, the Highlanders had trouble putting it all together in the regular season. Now, with a big win over the Dragons, it seems as if Adams may have finally gotten over the hump at the perfect time. Their next game will be the ultimate tell if they can get past Stoney Creek. If they do advance, the Highlanders may find themselves as legitimate suitors to make it to the final four.

If Andrew Sohn and Co. can turn in pitching performances like the ace did on Tuesday, striking out an impressive 14 batters, Brothe Rice is going to do some serious damage over the next few weeks. Much like Adams, the Warriors will have their ultimate test in their next game as they will most likely face the states hottest team, Birmgham Groves, assuming they take care of a revamped Southfield-Lathrup team.

They may not play in the toughest division or conference, but Walled Lake Central sure can swing the bats. In any situation, this team comes through with plenty of clutch hits and one thing to remember about this team: They are disciplined at the plate and they proved just that against Walled Lake Western on Tuesday. If they can keep hitting the ball as well as they are, they may be a team to be reckoned with in the near future.

The Auburn Hills Avondale girls soccer team may have passed the toughest test they’ll have for the rest of the season, knocking off last year’s division 2 state champ, Birmingham Marian. It’ll be interesting to see how far this Yellowjackets team will advance.
