Oakland County Boys Soccer Top 10

10. Walled Lake Central
The Vikings continue to get the job done with a very strong offensive attack that is averaging well over three goals per contest, led by Alex Besh and Bryan Maxwell.


9. Stoney Creek
The Cougars are starting to hit their stride this season, putting together a solid offense and an even better defense has been on display over the past couple of weeks.


8. Auburn Hills Oakland Christian
The Lancers continue to get the job done week in and week out on both ends of the field, but keeper Luke Combs has been a difference maker this year, making big saves in key places all season long.


7. Farmington
The Falcons have been able to slow down opposing attacks while keeping the pressure on opposing defense with the ability to score from all over the pitch.


6. Walled Lake Northern
Northern keeper Mitch Thompson has nine shutouts this season for the Knights, and while the senior has been stellar this season, the Knights are going to need to find a go to guy offensively that can put the ball in the net like the team has had in years past.


5. Troy Athens
The Red Hawks have been one of the top scoring teams all season, thanks in large part to forward Sunny Shettigar who is one of the top pure scorers in the state. Athens has been able to win in a couple of high scoring games this year, but the defense seems to be improving on a week by week basis.


4. Rochester Adams
The Highlanders are as deep as anyone in the county on offense, and with forward Dylan Knott gaining a lot of attention from opposing teams, it will continue to free up all sorts of opportunities for the rest of the forwards and midfielders.


3. Birmingham Detroit Country Day
Forward Tariq Akeel has been a magician with the ball this season, and with a talented midfield to play with, the Yellowjackets just might be the most dangerous team in the county this season. Don't forget that the defense can slow down most offenses around too.

2. Novi
The Wildcats have what looks to be the most complete team in the county right now. Offense? Check. Defense? Check. And the midfield does as good of a job as any at controlling the pace of the game. Novi is primed for a deep playoff run, which is nothing new for the Wildcats.

1. Troy
The Colts, aside from a loss to Adams, have been rolling teams with a dangerous group of forwards as well as one of the top keepers in the state in Matt Smolinski, who has been, as expected, dominant in net all season long.
