For starters, a long overdue congratulations to the entire Royal Oak football program, who grabbed their first win since 2007. First year head coach Jeff Hill definitely has his team on the right track
Nobody put in a better individual performance than Prescott Line from Oxford, the senior running back ran wild on the defending state champion Lake Orion defense, rushing for 232 yards, 5 touchdowns and 33 carries.
Making the most of his opportunity, Farmington running back Bryan Green burst onto the season in big time fashion. In his first career start, Green ran for 240 yards and three touchdowns in a win over West Bloomfield.
Most know what Walled Lake Western’s Brent Zdebski can do defensively, but not many were prepared for what the senior threw down on offense. Lining up in the Warrior backfield, Zdebski bruised his way to 150 yards rushing during Western’s 51-14 beating of Saline.
Pontiac running back Kezlow Smith flew under the radar all summer long, but after Friday night, things are about to change. Smith shredded the Southfield Lathrup defense for over 130 total yards, including a touchdown pass and a touchdown catch.
Milford welcomed back head coach Pat Fox in grand style, as the Mavericks pounded Waterford Mott 55-3 in Fox's first game on the Milford sideline in three years.
Rochester Adams back up quarterback Cory Clemons came up big when the Highlanders needed him most, completing 7 of his 8 pass attempts for 136 yards and two touchdowns in relief of starter Tony Annese.
Brandon Watkins has a nose for the end zone, and that was proven again in Thursday’s Southfield route of Detroit Northwestern 54-0. Watkins scored four touchdowns on the ground and took another to the house via the interception.
The Royal Oak Shrine backfield of Raymond Brown and Harry Cooney put all others on notice, these two were a wrecking balls for the Shrine offense on Saturday, each rushing for over 100 yards on limited carries in Shrine’s 38-7 shellacking of Suttons Bay.
Coming into this season, the only real question regarding the Brother Rice squad was at the quarterback position. After Saturday, all questions were put to rest, with both quarterback’s, Nick Rao and Cheyne Lacanaria tossing touchdowns in their season opening win over Detroit Martin Luther King.
Farmington Hills Harrison quarterback Jake Vento stepped in nicely in his first game at quarterback for the defending division two state champs. The senior signal called completed 13 of 19 passes and found the end zone twice (once rushing and one passing) in the Hawks’ 43-7 bashing of Cass Tech.
