Boys Basketball Top 10

1. Clarkston
The Wolves remain at the top and have shown that they are still tops in the OAA especially after their second half performance against Southfield Lathrup almost two weeks ago.


2. Birmingham Detroit Country Day
The Yellowjackets are quickly closing the gap on Clarkston especially after several wins where Country Day has put up explosive offensive numbers especially now that transfer Robert Puleikis has entered the fold.

3. (Tie) Madison Heights Bishop Foley
It’s not just the Corey Green show at Bishop Foley, because the Ventures have several players that can provide a bit of a scoring punch every now and then including 3-point specialist Max Aleshire who burried five first quarter triple en route to a 30 point night on Friday.

3 (Tie) North Farmington
The Raiders have been one of the hottest teams in Oakland County, winning seven of their last eight games including a bit of an upset on Friday night over Southfield-Lathrup. Dorrell Foster continues to fly under the radar as he continues to prove that he’s one of the elite scorers in the County this season and proved it with a 30-point output against Lathrup.

4. Southfield-Lathrup
The Chargers have stumbled a bit as of late, with losses coming at the hands of Clarkston and North Farmington, but they still remain as one of the most dangerous teams in the County this year with Jon-Jon Williams and Ben Bedford and Co.

5. Ferndale
Ferndale has snuck up on some this season, but with players like Nate Stepney and Jacob Dotson, teams have already taken notice that these guys are for real. After several impressive wins, including an upset over Troy, Ferndale isn’t an unknown this year anymore.

6. Rochester 
Taylor Perry and Paris Pereira might be the best 1-2 punch in Oakland County, because very rarely, if ever do either of them have an “off night” which makes Rochester that much harder to defend on a game-in, game-out basis.

7. Southfield Bradford
Another team flying under the radar, but have continued to get the job done behind outstanding play from Chris Boatmon and Erik Murphy and come playoff time, Bradford will be a team that nobody will want to face.

8. Milford
The Mavericks narrowly escaped what would have been a disastrous upset against winless Hartland, but Milford again picked up another win to move to 12-1. It’s not the prettiest basketball you’ll see, but it’s effective and that 12-1 mark is all that matters in the end.

9. (Tie) Waterford Mott
The Corsairs have been one of the county’s pleasant surprises this season, and have put themselves as one of the favorites to win the KLAA North along with Walled Lake Central. With DaVonte Daniel and Brady Losh down low, very few teams can match up with Mott in the post.


9. (Tie) Walled Lake Central
The Vikings continue to be one of the most consistent teams in Oakland County with big time play from big man Chuck Taylor and guard Zac Leimbach. With the type of defense the Vikings play, it’s going to be a tall task to try and outscore them down the road in the playoffs.

10. Madison Heights Madison
Damon Bozeman might be the best scorer not only in Oakland County, but possibly the state. Capable of putting up 40 points on any given night, it’s almost impossible to contain Bozeman. As Bozeman puts up some serious numbers, Madison follows suit.
