1. Clarkston
Over the first three weeks of the season, the Clarkston defense has been overlooked by the dominant performances the offense has put together, but the defense was at its best on Friday night when the Wolves put together a dominant performance of their own as they shut out a very good Rochester offense.
2. Birmingham Brother Rice
Everyone knows about the impressive rushing attack that the Warriors have. But on Friday night, Brother Rice quarterback Cheyne Lacanaria showed that the Warrior offense can air it out as well as the senior signal caller threw for nearly 200 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
3. Lake Orion
The Dragon offense has been unstoppable over the course of the past two games as Lake Orion has scored over 100 points against Troy Athens and West Bloomfield. Defensively, the Dragons have been nearly as good as they've played some serious lock down defense through three weeks.
4. Farmington
The Falcons have one of, if not the best 1-2 backfield punch with running backs Jordan Degreffenreed and Connor Mohr. The first two weeks belonged to Degreffenreed, but last week Mohr was the one who exploded for over 200 yards on the ground. It's hard to stop one of these guys, but to stop both of them is nearly impossible.
5. Orchard Lake St. Mary's
The Eaglets had everything working on Friday night as they opened up the red turf era. The run game and passing attack were firing on all cylinders while the defense put together a shutout performance after holding Toledo St. John's to just seven points in week two.
6. Oak Park
Expectations are starting to grow for the Knights after their 3-0 start, but they haven't had much trouble living up to them so far this year. Oak Park aced what might have been its biggest test so far last week as the Knights, behind a monstrous performance from Malik Washington, topped a desperate Rochester Adams squad.
7. Southfield
The Blue Jays could easily be 3-0 this season, but improved to 2-1 last week after taking out some frustrations on North Farmington behind an impressive offensive output. Look for much of the same from Tre Walton, Brandon Bean and Co. for the rest of this season.
8. (Tie) Farmington Hills Harrison
Jake Slobin might be the most underrated player in Oakland County, even in the week three loss to Oxford, Slobin recorded 16 tackles. Look for Slobin and the rest of the Harrison defense to help get the Hawks back to their winning ways next week.
8. (Tie) Birmingham Detroit Country Day
The Yellowjackets bounced back in a big way in week three thanks to a big game from junior running back Richie Wilson. Wilson carried the ball 21 times on Friday night for 196 yards and three first half touchdowns to lead the 'Jackets past Birmingham Seaholm.
9. Bloomfield Hills Lahser
The Knights have quietly scored 135 points in their first three games this season, but the defense has just about equaled the offense so far as they've held their opponents to just 33 points so far. It's not often you see teams outscore opponents by over 100 points in three games, but that's exactly what Lahser's been able to do.
10. Walled Lake Western
The Warrior offense has looked almost unstoppable since the week one loss to Saline, as Western has scored 80 points against South Lyon East and Lakeland. A big reason for that has been junior quarterback Kyle Bambard and senior running back Kyle Ford, who connected for the go ahead score in Western's week three win over Lakeland.
