Five For Fighting - Friday's Star Search

Five For Fighting – The brightest stars from the OC prep gridiron on Friday night

1 WL Northern Defense – After giving up an average of 50 points a night coming into Week 4, the Knights 'D' proved all the pundits wrong, doing their best Baltimore Ravens impression, locking down WL Western's explosive offense in a 17-10 win. MAD PROPS all around!!!!

2 Johnny Williams (Holly) – The Flint Metro's Mr. Do Everything was at it again on Friday in the Bronchos 49-13 beat down of Clio, finding the end zone via pass (touchdown connections with Evan Pupaga and Kyle McCarty), run (50-yard and 72- yard touchdown scrambles) and special teams (85-yard kickoff return for TD to open the game and a 60-yard punt return for a TD). Can you say get this kid some THERAFLU 'cause he's CRAZY SICK!!!

3 Connor Mohr (Farmington) – The picture of nails-tough on Friday in the Falcons 19-13 overtime downing of Oxford on both sides of the ball, rushing in a trio of touchdowns – including the game-winning score in the extra session – as well as posting over a dozen tackles and a couple of sacks from his spot at middle linebacker.  Just so good in so many ways!!!

4 Ross Williams (Birmingham Groves) – This Groves MEGA BURNER ran for 235 yards and three scores in his team's 38-33 defeat at the hands of Hazel Park. Will probably end up being the school's all-time rusher before this speedy sophomore playmaker graduates….YEAH, I SAID IT!!!

5 (tie) Cam Thomas (SL East) – The newly-anointed OC GUNSLINGER showed his prowess passing the pigskin, hitting Wade Morris for a game-winning touchdown in overtime of the Cougars' climatic 26-23 road triumph over Novi, the pair's second scoring hook-up of the evening. Western Michigan is getting itself a GRADE-A GAMER, that's for sure!!!

5 (tie) Clarence Broadnax (RH Adams) – Emerging from the shadows, Broadnax busted loose for 170 yards and three touchdowns on the ground in the Highlanders' do-or-die 28-7 besting of Southfield-Lathrup on Friday.  Broadnax brought the AX against the Chargers defense and chopped them down like a GRIDIRON PAUL BUNYAN, expect more SOON!!
