Rapid Reaction - Week 2 football recap

For starters, Prescott Line is a flat out monster on the gridiron, rushing for 250 yards and scoring five touchdowns for the second straight week in Oxford's beatdown of Southfield-Lathrup. There’s no doubt in my mind that Line will be in the Mr. Football award talk by the end of the season.

I don't think that there is any question on where you can find some offense this year, as plenty of scoring in Walled Lake this season, both Western and Northern are averaging almost 50 points per game.

Northern quarterback Kurt Thomas proved he can do it all with his arm and his legs in the Knight's 42-21 double up on South Lyon East. Western linebacker Brent Zdebski has caught most off guard with his performance in the Warriors backfield including another 100 yard plus outing as the Warriors beat up on Novi, 50-25.
Over at Central the Vikings have a pretty electric duo of quarterback Zac Leimbach and K.J. Schultz. Schultz had just under 400... Yep, that‘s right… 400 total yards of offense in their bounce back win over Plymouth Salem.

Birmingham Seaholm quarterback John Glazier is as accurate of a quarterback as you’ll find at the high school level. After completing 12-of-15 passes in week one, Glazier completed 10-of-11 passes for nearly 300 yards in a victory over Bloomfield Hills Andover.

Jake Vento is as big of a “Primetime Player” as there is in this county. The senior quarterback can get it done in just about every way possible. Running the ball. Throwing the ball. Catching the ball. And playing defense. There are few players that are more important to their team than Vento is to Harrison… and that’s say a ton considering the talent that the Hawks have all over the board.
Speaking of Harrison…… Week 1 test? Check. Week 2 test? Check. It’s becoming very apparent that the only team that can beat Farmington Hills Harrison is Farmington Hills Harrison. The Hawks have probably had the most difficult first two weeks of the season and the Hawks have passed those tests with flying colors.

Troy junior quarterback Justin Losey burst on to the scene on Thursday night, accounting for each of Troy's first six touchdowns, four coming on the ground, and two more through the air in the Colts win over Royal Oak.

The Lake Orion defense responded in a huge win after falling at the hands of Oxford. The Dragons defense shut down the Rochester offense in every way imaginable in their 35-7 win on Thursday. Now that's what everyone was expecting out of the defending state champs!

At the start of this season, many were anxious to see the high powered passing attack of Auburn Hills Avondale, and rightfully so. But in week two a running back stole the show for the Yellowjackets as Michael Johnson went off, piling up nearly 300 yards on the ground and finding the end zone four times.
