Top 10 TEAMS

1 MH Bishop Foley – Slightly controversial pick as the OC's top diamond squad, but Burney will stick by his choice of the still-stacked two-time defending state champs in D3

2 (tie) Birmingham Brother Rice – Littered with college-level talent, this is the year the "Elite 8" (eight juniors that have been on varsity since they were fab frosh), takes it another step…..Next stop Cereal City in June!!!

2 (tie) Lake Orion – Could have the best pitching staff in the state…Dragons HUSTLING HURLER CREW roll call….Brad Schaenzer, Nick "The Big Unit" Deeg, Josh Bays and Nick Vogelmeyer

3 Farmington – The Falcons FANTABULOUS 1-2 tandem of seniors Connor Mohr and Tyler Tompson have the chance to take TEAM FINN flying to meteoric heights this spring

4 OL St. Mary's – Potential for a special season, with several dangerous weapons dotting the roster (i.e. Mike Hodgins, Will Salter, Devin Rose, Connor Bowers, Julian Jones and Tyson Smith, among others)

5 Novi Detroit CC – Most undervalued club in the STATE (Yeah, I SAID IT!!), lots of smart, savvy vets, very few, if any, true weaknesses in the line-up despite lacking any real "stars"

6 WL Western – TEAM LARGES is super steady across the board this year….on the mound (see MSU-commit Andrew Gonzales) they'll keep opponents guessing and at the plate (see batsmen extraordinaire Nik Heglin) they'll go all MIGGIE CABRERA

7 Clarkston – WOLFPACK on the prowl in the OAA once again…Nick Mazzone and Ryan Rea are quite a pair of STERLING SLUGGERS!!!

8 Stoney Creek – There are some STONE COLD STUDS (see sophomore shredder Eric Gilgenbach, junior Joe Cox and senior Kyle Schweiger) in the the Cougars line-up in 2013….THATS A FACT!!  

9 WL Central – Will always be in the thick of the league and district race around here if Coach ROFFI is in the dugout…....MARK THAT DOWN!!       

10 (tie) BH Andover – Barons' DIAMOND-CUTTING CREW ROLL CALL: Marlon "The Panther" Pruitt on the mound, Nick "The NEW BREED" Bredeson behind the plate and the heavy-hitting trifecta of Alec Mares, Todd Weiss and Perry Klemanski

10 (tie) RH Adams – Has the offense to do damage in the OAA, question for the Highlanders is if their pitching staff can get the job done

10 (tie) WL Northern – Ready to build on last season's city-title campaign
