Picks from the top games in the OC in Week 5

Troy v. Lake Orion – LO FREAKISH linebacker Derric Williams is about to go all DERRIC WILLIAMS on the Colts' already banged up offense in the Dragons Den, putting up 12 tackles and a pair of qb sacks!!

LO 42 Troy 22

Farmington v. Oak Park – The OP's Derek Harris and Ricardo Smith make-up one of the nastiest pair of pass rushers in the area and they help the Knights 'D' get the job done in their first-place clash with the gritty Falcons

OP 24, Farmington 20

Southfield v. FH Harrison – TEAM HERRINGTON keeps its hat in the race for the OAA White title and clips the Bluejays in a critical OAA White match-up

Harrison 28, Southfield 23

Detroit Cass Tech v. Orchard Lake St. Mary's – I luv me some TEAM PORRITT, but CT is just too good, IMO one of the best teams in the NATION….we're talking close to double digits in D1 prospects on GANG GREEN…WOW!

CT 32, OLSM 25

Birmingham Brother Rice v. UofD-Jesuit – Warriors junior safety/placekicker Jason Alessi is cooler than the other side of my pillow!!! JA and the Rice 'D' put the Cubbies in an early sleeper hold on Saturday, closing this one out by the third quarter

Rice 40, UofD 15

Berkley v. AH Avondale – Yellow Jackets keep stinging!!

Avondale 38, Berkley 33

BH Lahser v. Pontiac NDP – Lahser junior field general Spencer McCourt reaches SWAGGER LEVEL THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND TRILLION against NDP, throwing for 275 yards, 3 TDS and the game-winner to Collin Feila in the final seconds for the BLACK&YELLOW 'W' on the road

Lahser 28, NDP 26

Walled Lake Northern v. Walled Lake Central – This one's going down to the wire and Burney's picking the upset….Knights make it three in a row with that high-powered 'O' and fast-improving 'D'

WLN 30, WLC 27 (OT)

Pontiac v. Rochester – TEAM VERNON were one of my sleepers this fall and they've proven me prophetic, as Rochester is in good shape to snare a playoff berth for the second time in three years….Great to see my man James Ward finally have that breakout that I knew was coming last week. He'll do it again against 'Yacktown and the Falcons victory train keeps rampaging down the track!

Rochester 27, Pontiac 21

Sterling Heights at MH Madison – Following his game-winning 17-yard scoring grab in the final seconds of Madison's 28-26 downing of SCS South Lake last week, Eagles wide receiver D'amonde Queen looks like a KING again, catching 5 balls for 100 yards and a touchdown from star quarterback "Nicky Guns" Wallace in a commanding win

Madison 35, Sterling Heights 25

Warren De La Salle v. Novi Detroit Catholic Central – Shamrocks feast on a Shane Morris-less De La Salle squad, push their record over the .500 mark

CC 42, DLS 21

Belleville v. Birmingham Detroit Country Day – 'Jackets senior wideout Mo Ways gets his Victor Cruz on and goes for 150 and 2 TDs in a DCD victory, the team's first in front of the home crowd
