OLSM: There isn’t a more complete team in Division 3 than
the Eaglets. On offense, St. Mary’s has its always powerful run game behind one
of the best and biggest offensive lines in the state as well as an aerial
attack that sneaks up on teams. Defensively, the Eaglets have picked up right
where last season’s squad left off as they have quieted just about every
offense they’ve faced
Brother Rice: The Warriors have as good of a defense as you
will find in the state, regardless of division. With linebackers Jon Reschke
and Lucas Cherrocci as well as one of the best defensive lines in the state led
by Alberto Sandoval and Sergio Perkovic and a stellar secondary with Jason
Alessi and Chris Carter, teams are going to struggle with scoring points
against the Warriors. Defense wins championships and that will lead the way for
the Warriors.
Clarkston and Lake Orion will meet in the Division 1 State
Championship Game
We all know this is a possibility, but there aren’t very
many people who believe that this match-up will happen, but these two teams are
just too good not to end up in the state finals. Clarkston’s defense has been
overlooked all season long because of the running attack, but the Clarkston
defense has been fantastic all season long. The Dragons have playmakers
everywhere on offense and there aren’t very many defenses in the state that
will be able to contain and hold down such a versatile attack.
Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes will make it to the Division
8 finals
The Lakers have been a team that has flown under the radar
all season long, but has quietly put together a solid 7-2 campaign with their
only losses coming at the hands of powerhouse Detroit Loyola and Allen Park
Cabrini. WOLL is flying under the radar, and I’m sure that’s exactly how head
coach Mike Boyd and Co. want it to be. Look for playmakers like Garrett Ross,
Richie Cross, Jake Doetsch and Sal Mastromatteo to help lead the Lakers to Ford
Field.
Pontiac Notre Dame Prep OR Birmingham Detroit Country Day
will make a run to the Division 4 semifinals
These two teams have been stellar all season long, and
unfortunately they are stuck in the same district so they won’t have an
opportunity to have a potential Clarkston-Lake Orion type of showdown. Both
teams have featured some impressive defense all season long, with some solid
play in just about every defensive group. Offensively, these two teams are
pretty different, but are capable of making a long playoff run. Country Day’s
attack with running back Richie Wilson and Tyler Weigers is as “quick-strike”
as you will find, while Notre Dame Prep will wear teams out with running back
Jermaih Johnson. Both teams have a very good chance of making a postseason run,
but unfortunately one will be going home after round 2.
