Five For Fighting – The brightest stars from the OC prep football field on Saturday

1 Birmingham Brother Rice Defense – Delivered a devastating effort in the Warriors 28-0 throttling of Warren De La Salle in a game where they totally dominated UofM-recruit and Pilots senior all-state quarterback Shane Morris, knocking him out of action in the second half. CAN U SAY ELECTRIC COMPANY THE SEQUEL!!!!

2 Nick Wallace (MH Madison) – The standout senior field general scored all four (two through the air, two on the ground) of the Eagles touchdowns, including the game-winning 17-yd connection with D'amonde Queen in the closing moments of a come-from-behind 28-26 win at home over SCS South Lake. Wallace, one of the most underrated pure dropback passers in Metro Detroit, was 14-of-21 on Saturday against an athletic South Lake D for 255 yards and two touchdowns. HARDEST QUESTION OF THE DAY: I'm having trouble deciding whether my main man Nicky Guns is better on the gridiron under center or on the basketball court in the post racking up double-doubles……What do you think?

3 Brian Walker (Birmingham Brother Rice) – The WIZARD of WARRIORLAND spun his usual brand of gridiron magic against De La Salle, rushing for 165 yards and three touchdowns on 20 carries

4 Mitch Lasceski (Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes) – Mitch the MAULER as I like to call him, scored a touchdown on a reception and a run (showing why he's one of the area's top wingbacks) in leading the Lakers to an exciting 24-21 win over rival Royal Oak Shrine

5 Spencer Howell (Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes) – His 30 yard field goal in the first half proved the difference on the scoreboard against Shrine, giving TEAM BOYD a pair of ace placekickers in Howell and Jake Doetsch (also finding the end zone on a run on Saturday), who booted home a game-winning field goal in the first round of the playoffs back in 2009 as a freshman. FEAR THE FOOT in LAKERLAND!!!
