OC Top 5 – Performances on the prep gridiron from district championship weekend

1 Marques Stevenson (RB Lake Orion) – This kid is the definition of first-class and he showed just how top notch he really is on Friday night by busting up the Grand  Blanc defense for 290 yards and four TDs, all of which occurred on plays of 40 yards or more. Plain and simple a GREAT high school tailback with genuine BIG PLAY ability every time he touches the rock

2 Novi Detroit CC Rushing Attack – Shamrocks racked up 318 yards on the ground in a 35-10 trouncing of a very good Northville squad. Great to see CC once again playing quintessential CC football and mashing the comp in between the tackles! CAN U SAY BACK ON THE WINNING TRACK?

3 Mitch Robinson (QB AH Avondale) – Ending the year in the same offensive whirlwind he'd been engineering all season long by passing for 508 yards and 6 TDs in the 'Jackets loss to OLSM in the district finals

4 Zach Leimbach (QB WL Central) – Against a notoriously stingy RH Adams defense, Leimbach threw for 192 yards and two scores as the Vikings rode their junior signal caller's arm into the regional finals for the first time since 2006. This kid is playing with such SWAG, I'm thinking about nicknaming him Jay-Z!

5 Valdez Showers (RB MH Madison) – In a nutshell, Valdez Showers told Lutheran North he was Christopher Columbus and they were the Pilgrims as he rolled over the Mustangs 'D' for 233 yds and 4 TDs on the ground in the Eagles 46-3 beat down.
