Top Games – Week 3

Record: 24-11

Picks

Lake Orion v. Pontiac – SUPERSONIC UPSET SPECIAL: The Phoenix play spoiler and ruin the Dragons shot at an undefeated season. One of the county's newest breakout stars, Pontiac junior RB Mark Cargle GOES WILD again, carrying the THE HIGH to the W!

Pontiac 25, LO 24

Birmingham Seaholm v. Birmingham Lahser – Everyone knows about UofM-bound Shawn Conway, but the Maples have lots of other talented players like John Glazier, Chris Barr, Kevin Wilberding, Kai Czajka, Charlie Doherty, Sterling Johnson, Neil Page,  Dan Gibbs, and Matt Roden! Can you say CONFERENCE TITLE?

Seaholm 32, Lahser 18

Novi Detroit CC v. Inkster – Where's that butter? Shamrocks continue to roll! Get busy my main men and CC varsity stalwarts, "The Andrews Brothers" aka Andrew "Pac Man" Nelson and Andrew "Easy E" Erickson!!!

CC 38, Inkster 12

Clarkston v. Troy Athens – Iowa-bound Jake Duzey goes all JAKE DUZEY and the Red Hawks beats C-town for the first time in a while and announce to the whole area that last week's abysmal outing against Pontiac was only a minor setback on their way to a memorable season

Athens 21, Clarkston 17

Walled Lake Central v. Walled Lake Northern – Vikings win again in final seconds, this year on a K.J. Schulz TD run followed by a Ramon Alexander pick on the last play of the game to secure victory for 'Big Brother" Central over perennial "Little Bro" Northern

WLC 29, WLN 26

Birmingham Brother Rice v. Highland Park – Desperate is the best way to describe the Warriors situation right now and Burney expects them to play that way this weekend when they host the HP Polar Bears. Look for WR Nick Dunn to have a bustout game, catching a couple of TD's from Tyler Lendzion and Adam Gorksi to boot a game-winning FG as time expires to, in a nutshell, save the Rice season

Rice 23, HP 20

BH Andover v. AH Avondale – Ryan Brancheau (150 yds, 4 TDs last week in loss to Hazel Park) is very underrated and when combined with Ray Tillman (227 yds and 1 TD last week) and Mitch Robinson (490 yds 7 TDs last week), make up a very dangerous passing attack for the Yellow Jackets. Avondale could be sitting 2-0 right now, but are 0-2 instead, dropping to last second heartbreakers and thus, like Rice, are the picture of desperate right now. 'Jackets get healthy at Barons expense and romp to first 'W' of the year with another volcanic offensive explosion

Avondale 44, Andover 21

Oak Park v. Southfield – Match-up of two great young coaching minds in Southfield's Tim Conley and Oak Park's Mario Evans, so you know this one will be a doozy. There will be lots of speed and athleticism on the field and this could lead to a boatload of points being put up. The Blue Jays are playing at home and just have too much experience for the Knights to overcome

Southfield 33, Oak Park 27

RH Adams v. Southfield-Lathrup – I feel bad for the Chargers 'cause Adams coach Tony Partrito is going to have his squad so jacked up after a poor performance last week in a loss to Farmington, this game might be over by halftime.  You might as well pack away some extra pencils and pieces of paper if you're planning on tracking the Highlanders statistical output on Friday night

Adams 35, SL 15

Troy v. Rochester – This will be a good one and a nice contrast of styles, which always makes for the best match-ups. Seniors Nick Bradley (Rochester QB) and James MacDonald (Troy RB) go toe-to-toe in an old fashioned shootout that I see going to the Colts when it's all said and done

Troy 38 Rochester, 34 (OT)

Oxford v. Farmington – Matt Craven, Jason Wilson and the boys have been living lately on the corner of AWESOME and AMAZING and I don't see any moving trucks on the horizon!

Farmington 28, Oxford 19

North Farmington v. Hazel Park – Vikings are playing at mid-season form right now and their vicious running game will smash through the Raiders for another win


Hazel Park 41, NF 18

Birmingham Groves v. Berkley – Coach Jimmy Mac has the Bears hungry and unfortunately the Falcons are easy prey this week

Berkley 31, Groves 17
