Friday's Finest

Pontiac's big three of Mark Cargle, Kezlow "Squirrel" Smith and Jeff Johnson should be nicknamed "Earth, Wind and Fire" much like the New York Giants running back trio from a few years ago. Each brings something different to the Pontiac offense and it pays off each and every game for the Phoenix. On Friday night, with Pontiac needing a win to make the playoffs, the three running backs combined for nearly 500 yards rushing and 10... Yes, 10 total touchdowns in Pontiac's 66-40 track meet-like win over West Bloomfield.

Behind Brandon Wallace's 16 carry, 200+ yard performance, Milford is back in the playoffs for the first time since 2008 in the first year of head coach Pat Fox's return to Milford.

Holly quarterback Johnny Williams has flown under the radar almost all season long, but continues to be a primetime performer for the Bronchos on a weekly basis. Friday night wasn't any different for the junior quarterback who totaled well over 200 total yards as Holly locked up their first league title in almost 60 years.

Chevis Farris ended his season on a high note on Friday for Ferndale in its season ending win, making eight grabs for 168 yards and two touchdowns.

Walled Lake Central quarterback Zac Leimbach came up big on Friday night with both his arm and his legs for the Vikings. Leimbach completed 7-of-13 passes for 104 yards and also carried the ball 11 times for 84 yards and two touchdowns as Central clinched their sixth win and its third consecutive playoff appearance.

A long overdue congratulations is owed to Birmingham Brother Rice head coach Al Fracassa who finally picked up his 400th career win in the Warriors convincing win over Harper Woods Chandler Park Academy.


Also, best of luck to Waterford Kettering head coach and former Walled Lake Northern head coach Mike Fras who announced his retirement from coaching football after Friday night's game against North Farmington.
