Oakland County Football Rankings - Settling In

1. Clarkston
Ian Eriksen is already looking like the next great running back to come through Oakland County. A dominant six touchdown effort from the junior paired with the dominant Clarkston offensive line and a strong defensive performance has the Wolves sitting at No. 1 this week.

2. Novi Detroit Catholic Central
A strong defensive performance that resulted in a week one shutout win, the Shamrocks are looking like one of the more balanced teams in Oakland County.

3. Farmington Hills Harrison
The duo of Garius Coleman and Jake Slobin made their presence felt early and often on Friday, and you can expect or of the same in week two.

4. Birmingham Brother Rice
A tough loss to defending Division 1 state champ Cass Tech, but it's safe to say that the Warriors will be more than ready next week.

5. Southfield
The Blue Jays got the season off to a shaky start on Saturday, but thanks to the dangerous trio of Darius Danzy, Brandon Bean and Tre Walton, Southfield pulled out a thrilling overtime win on Saturday.

6. Lake Orion
Much like Southfield, the Dragons had a bit of trouble in the early stages of Friday's game, but thanks to Jacob Miller, Lake Orion scored 17 unanswered second half point to start the season 1-0.

7. Farmington
Farmington running back Jordan Degreffenreed was nearly unstoppable last season. This year, he might be impossible to stop, just ask the John Glenn defense.

8.Orchard Lake St. Mary's
The Eaglets lost narrowly to Muskegon in the season opener, but you can expect St. Mary's will have to bounce back quickly for Toledo St. John's in week two.

9. Birmingham Detroit Country Day
The duo of Richie Wilson and Tyler Weigers might be the best in Oakland County when it comes to quarterback and running back combo's and Detroit Mumford found out that out in the opener.

10. Oak Park
Brian Williams showed just how hard he is to contain on Saturday as he snared the game winning catch from quarterback Dellonte Johnson on Saturday and helping the Knights get out to a 1-0 start.
