Boys Basketball Top 10

1. Clarkston
The Wolves have sharpshooters just about everywhere, paired with their patented blue-collar defense, and Clarkston continues to emerge as one of the favorites to end up at the Breslin at the end of the year.

2. Birmingham Detroit Country Day
The Yellowjackets don’t have one of their traditional dominant teams like they’ve had in the past, but they still remain as one of the top teams in the county and continue to improve each week.

3. Southfield Lathrup
Lathrup has been impressive so far this year against some very good competition and has just continued to find big time production out of point guard Jon Jon Willams who continues to emerge as one of the state’s top PG’s.

4. Madison Heights Bishop Foley
The Ventures have continued to be one of the top scoring teams in Oakland County, with nearly 23 points per game from Corey Green (12 rebounds), 16.5 from Max Aleshire and Mike Oravetz who averages over 13 points per. These guys can flat out score.


5. Orchard Lake Saint Mary’s
The Eaglets have a ton of depth in the front court, and continue to be one of the most physical teams in the county whether scoring or defending.


6. Troy Athens
Quietly, Athens has been one of the County’s top teams because of great play from both inside and outside. With forward Marcarius Coakley and guard Caleb McIntosh, Athens has one of the top inside-out tandems around.


7. Pontiac
The Phoenix are bouncing back from a tough loss at the hands of Lathrup and next up for them is Clarkston on Thursday. By far the toughest stretch on the schedule this year for Pontiac.


8. Novi Detroit Catholic Central
One of the top defensive teams around, and the Shamrock’s seem to be turning things around after a bit of a slow start to the season.


9. Rochester
Winners of its last seven, Rochester looks like one of the most complete teams early on this season, playing well offensively (55 ppg), but have been playing lights out defensively, allowing just 44 points per game.


10. Walled Lake Northern
A big win over rival Walled Lake Western on Friday seems to have pushed Northern right into the mix in the KLAA, with forwards Gage Throgmorton and Ryan Soulet, Northern should be a team to keep you eye on as the season progresses.
