Here's a list of supporting players to expect impacts from in the state football finals at Ford Field this weekend;

Birmingham Brother Rice

Austin Brown (FB) – Could be the best blocking back in the state….YEAH I SAID IT!! The Brown Bomber is ready to EXPLODE in the Lions Den Friday afternoon opening holes for the Orange and Black rushing attack!!!

Ty Kiafoulis (TE) & Patrick Sparks (WR) – A pair of big, reliable targets down field for Warriors superstar signal caller Alex Malzone that know how to get open and will be ready when the ball comes their way

Joe Plaskey (LB) – Embodies the phrase "taking it to the limit" in the way he competes on the gridiron, the kind of kid that bleeds nails, Yeah, THAT KIND OF TOUGNESS!!

Clarkston

Shane Holler (WR) – Don't be surprised if this screaming good talent does serious damage on underneath routes for the Wolfpack in the passing game vs. a very battle-tested CC secondary

Quinn Montgomery & D.J. Rogers (LB) – This linebacker duo has been buzzing around the ball all postseason long and I expect more of the same Saturday

Reid Kaminski (S) – Quietly having a great year anchoring the safety spot for TEAM K-RICH, making plays, making waves, kicking butt and taking names!!!

Novi Detroit Catholic Central

Nick Coccocetta – Has been blossoming into a superb, technically-sound tight end before our very eyes all season, might have a GRONKNATION-like game in store for SHAMROCKNATION come the bright lights of Ford Field

Ryan McGillivary – Underrated "Glue Guy" for that BATTERING RAM known as the Big Blue 'D', marvelous range in his tackling ability, pure passion and tenacity with an endless motor sideline-to-sideline at the outside linebacker position, I love this kid's upside at the next level

Mitch Katkic & Mike Schmitz – Defensive back tandem busting loose in the shadows of higher-profile teammates….best ways to describe them; pesky, aggressive, smart, gutty, hard-working…'NUFF SAID!!
