Elite Eight - Getting Defensive

8. Corey Ester - Lake Orion RB
Ester made the most of the touches he got on offense as the Dragon's running back rushed for 130 yards on just 10 carries while scoring a touchdown in Lake Orion's rout of Troy Athens at Ford Field.

7. Grant Niemiec/Parker McInnis - Orchard Lake St. Mary's RB
Niemiec carried the ball 15 times on Friday night for over 150 yards and a touchdown while McInnis totaled nearly 200 yards between the running game and the return game for two touchdowns as the dynamic duo led the Eaglets to a convincing win over Toledo St. John's.

6. Ian Eriksen - Clarkston RB
Eriksen is already putting up Prescott Line like numbers this year as the Clarkston junior rushed for over 180 yards on 22 carries and found the end zone three more times on Friday night to help lead the Wolves to a dominating win over West Bloomfield.

5. Lorenzo Collins - Farmington Hills Harrison RB
Collins carried the load for the Hawks on Friday night, carrying the ball 25 times for 167 yards as he punished the Adams defense in a key OAA White win for the Hawks.

4. Walled Lake Western Defense
The Warriors had no trouble slowing down one of the area's most dangerous quarterbacks as Western pitched an impressive shutout on Thursday night in a punishing 45-0 win over South Lyon East.

3. Spencer McCourt - Bloomfield Hills Lahser QB
McCourt tossed three first half touchdown strikes on Friday night for Lahser to give the Knights all of the offense they would need to outlast OAA Blue rival, Ferndale in a key battle in the division race.


2. Farmington Defense
The Falcons shut down an explosive Southfield offense on Friday afternoon, allowing the Blue Jays to score just six points on the day as Farmington proved to be a legitimate threat to win the OAA White title.


1. Stoney Creek Defense
The Stoney Creek defensive unit has been dominant in the first two weeks this year as the Cougars have allowed just seven points so far after a convincing shutout win over Pontiac on Friday night.
