First off, I’d like to say that I am a HUGE fan of the jerseys worn by Walled Lake Central and Walled Lake Northern on Friday night. The Vikings broke out their all yellow uni’s while Northern had on their all white’s.
Now back to the on the field performances.
Just how good is W.L. Central quarterback Zac Leimbach? You decide: The senior signal caller went off on Friday night, running for over 200 yards on 34 carries and four touchdowns in the Viking win.
Putting up some impressive numbers in his own right was Northern quarterback Kirk Thomas who had 230 yards of total offense and three touchdowns, to lead Northern’s comeback attempt on Central.
Bloomfield Hills Lahser cornerback Nate Cole is as big of a playmaker on defense as there is. Cole had two picks and a fumble recovery returned for at touchdown and put together almost 130 yards total in returning those turnovers. Defenses beware!
Southfield running back Brandon Watkins just might be the most exciting back in the state, he has the ability to go for six any time the ball is in his hands and that was shown on Friday night when Watkins carried the ball 18 times for over 200 yards and two touchdowns not to mention his 85 yard kickoff return for a touchdown.
In my predictions for this week’s games I said I had a hunch that Birmingham Groves running back Keon Collier could have a big game. Collier did that and so much more, running his way to 180 yards rushing and four touchdowns in Groves double overtime win over Berkley.
West Bloomfield’s all everything C.J. Brathwait might be the most dangerous player nobody knows about, Brathwait accounted for nearly 300 total yards and all five of West Bloomfield’s touchdowns in Friday night’s win over Royal Oak.
So far this season, it seems like Troy has found a source of offense from a different player every week and week three was more of the same. Oliver Jiang is the latest Colt to put in a prime-time performance, as the senior rolled to nearly 200 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 30 carries.
What more is there to say about Brother Rice running back Devin Church? This man can do just about anything when he’s got the ball. Church rushed for over 120 yards on just 10 carries and also took a kick return 96 yards back to the house!
Auburn Hills Avondale kicker Kyle Sroka must have ice water in his veins as Sroka booted a 45 yard field goal through the uprights as time expired to give Avondale the narrow win over Andover.
How’s this for a stat line? 7-for-9 passing for 141 yards and three touchdowns. Those numbers belong to Clawson quarterback Blake Blue in the Trojans convincing win over New Haven and that’s about as close to a perfect day as you’re going to get.
