OC Top 10

1 Birmingham Detroit Country Day (15-1) – Junior guard Lee Bailey flies way under the radar due to being surrounded by so many superstar teammates, but don't sleep on this two-sport stud or he'll burn you from the outside and/or with a quick-stepping move to the rack. His "cool as ice" demeanor on the court will benefit the 'Jackets in the post-season.

2 North Farmington (11-6) – DCD-transfer, Big Urb Bingham is currently in the midst of hitting his stride in his new Raiders digs and is about to get crazy busy on his team's upcoming comp! Watch for the Raider's "Big Nasty" to play big down the stretch and in the state tournament for head coach Tom Negoshian and open things up even more for Kyle "The Natural" Vinales and Robert Hogans on the outside.

3 Southfield (13-4) – Patrick Owenu keeps getting better every game! Mark my words, this kid will end up landing himself a D1 scholarship before his career ends in 2011. Landon Atterberry is a jumping jack on the block and will go above the rim to snare any board. Carlton Brundidge is Carlton Brundidge and Pee Wee Barnes is Pee Wee Barnes, so the Bluejays have that going for them too….lol

4 Southfield-Lathrup (10-7) – All those tough early season-losses are starting to payoff for Mike Avery and the Chargers. Joe Baker's enrollment at Lathrup a few weeks back makes certain that there will be little lay-off in the scoring column next year when Roy Marble takes his mad skillz to the Big Ten and the University of Iowa.

5 Birmingham Seaholm (16-1) – Now that his college destination is all locked up, junior Shawn Conway can now keep his sole focus for the next month on guiding the Maples to the promise land – i.e. Bannerland aka Hardware Heaven: Do I see the first district title in 13 years in Seaholm's future? I think I do!

6 Clarkston (12-5) – Ball State-bound Matt Kamieniecki could be the most consistently tough and productive player the Wolves have had in their program in at least a decade or so.

7 Waterford Mott (15-2) – Sophomore dynamo, Chris "Rip City" Dewberry is ripping it up in a major way ever since putting on his Mott uniform back in late-January. John Schaeffer is arguably the best outside shooter in the entire Metro Detroit area.

8 Holly (14-4) – Justin Fowler is just plain money! He's so money, instead of sweating, his body secretes one hundred dollar bills. That's why whenever he bangs home a 3-pointer, the sound you here is "Ca-ching", not "swoosh."  

9 RH Adams (13-4) – Burney loves this Highlanders baller bunch. Adams is well coached, hard- working, gritty, and graceful in their workmanlike proficiency. Joey Dillon can dominate a game without scoring and Conor Boyle has been residing at the corner of Awesome and Amazing as of late with his dead-eye shooting. Andrew Hammett is the definition of a "Workhorse."

10 Brother Rice(10-8)/Novi Detroit CC (9-7) – Both these CHSL squads are not to be underlooked going into the state tournament. Rice could very well upset Seaholm in the districts and CC can out-hustle, out-execute, and out-X&0 their opponents to make up for a lack of natural athleticism. Ed Schaffer of Rice and Bill Dyer are each doing superb jobs on the sidelines this year. Parents:These are the kind of men you want leading and mentoring your teenage athletes. Pure Class!
