Oakland County Football Top 10

10. Troy Athens
The Red Hawks continue to impress this season, moving to 4-1 with their narrow win over a desperate Rochester team. What makes Athens so dangerous this year is all of the playmakers they have across the board on both sides of the ball.


9. Rochester Adams
Even after falling to Southfield, Adams continues to show that this years version of the Highlanders is for real. Quarterback Tony Anesse has been the real deal all season long, leading Adams on offense and on defense as well.


8. Walled Lake Central
The Vikings just seem to be getting stronger and stronger every week and what has been the most promising for the Vikings this year is that it seems like they have a new playmaker step up each and every week and that should come in handy in the next two weeks against division rivals Lakeland and W.L. Western.


7. Orchard Lake Saint Mary’s
Some offense have a “thunder and lightning” duo in their backfield, but running backs Spencer McInnis and Grant Niemeic give the Eaglet offense a “thunder and thunder” dynamic which has just worn down on defenses throughout the season.


6. Farmington
The Falcons have gone from “pleasant surprise” early on this season to “serious contender” now past the midway point this season. They are only getting stronger as the season goes on. The athletes on display for Farmington on offense has been too much for opposing defenses to handle so far this year.


6. Lake Orion
The Dragons have been pretty dominant over the past four weeks thanks in part to the consistent play from quarterback Sean Charette and top receiver Chaz Miller, but not to be overlooked is the Dragons defense which has only allowed 12.25 points per game during their four game win streak


5. Walled Lake Western
The Warriors are dangerous across the board, whether it’s on offense or defense, Western has the ability to dominate a game in  number of different ways. They can light up the scoreboard as well as keep teams out of the end zone. They’re that good.

4. Southfield
The Bluejays squeaked out a win on Saturday over Rochester Adams, but they have won in a variety of ways. Behind their offense, or behind their defense. Low scoring or high scoring. They just know how to win football games.


3. Clarkston
It really doesn't seem to matter what happens, nothing can phase this team. Quarterback Mitch Baezinger is in my mind the most underrated signal caller in the county... and maybe even the state, he can make just about every throw and does it with pinpoint accuracy.


3. Birmingham Brother Rice
Brother Rice head coach Al Fracassa picked up win number 399 on Saturday and with the way the Warriors defense has played as of late, number 400 could be had as early as this week.

2. Novi Detroit Catholic Central
Speaking of defense, the Catholic Central defensive unit has looked like the “Steel Curtain” of the 1970’s. The Shamrocks have given up 23 points so far this season… In five games… just 23 points. Good luck scoring on these guys this year.

1. Farmington Hills Harrison
Farmington Hills Harrison defensive tackle Mario Ojemudia AKA “The Nigerian Nightmare” not only has one of the best nicknames out there, but he is the motor of the Hawk’s defense. He continues to be a disruptive force against any offenses he line up against. The guy is a flat out playmaker from the D-Line.
