OC "Elite 8"

1 Birmingham Brother Rice – Not even close to peaking, still sticking and moving like a champion prize-fighter, showing their grit in keeping their head above water with ace Karl Kauffmann out until May

2 West Bloomfield – LakeNation is NASTYLAND on the diamond these days, far from a shocker

3 (tie) Bloomfield Hills – The DEVITO EXPRESS is the pleasant surprise of the spring

3 (tie) OL St. Mary's – You can't stop Griffin Sheposh, you can only hope to contain him...and that's pretty darn difficult, too

4 Pontiac NDP – Little bit of a slow start for the Fighting Irish, ready to round into shape

5 Clarkston – This Wolfpack has some Thrill-and-Chill Specials, catch some more of that C-TOWN fever

6 Lake Orion – Dragons are styling and profiling, fire-breathing and fearless as ever

7 MH Bishop Foley – The Robinson Era is off and running, kinda got a similar feeling as the Sunde Era, which is a very, very good thing

8 Rochester – Turning heads early, Falcons flying like butterflies, stinging likes bees
