Written Friday August 31st, at 11:35 PM

Dragons Den Top 10

1. Lake Orion

2. Farmington

3. Harrison

4. Oak Park

5. Lahser

6. Seaholm

7. Clarkston

8. Rochester

9. Avondale

10. Stoney Creek

BIGGEST WIN:  Farmington 14, Southfield 6: The Falcons were 5-4 last season, now they have two big wins early in the season and is looking very good to take the OAA White crown but both of these teams will be in the postseason this season.

SHOCKING LOSS: Lake Orion 68, Troy Athens 20: The Troy Athens Red Hawks came in with high expectations to start the season and now they sit 0-2 but what is most shocking is the way their defense has played. The Troy Athens defense has allowed 102 points, which is averaged to 51 points per game. The Dragons just saw their numbers rise from 17 points to 85 points which is 42.5 points per game.

REALLY FEEL SORRY FOR: Troy: The Colts lost their backup quarterback against the Falcons and haven’t scored a touchdown in three quarters. Troy has the athletes to fix this problem but will they be able to??? The Colts still have to play Lake Orion and Clarkston on the road. They can’t afford anymore losses if they have three losses.

Top 5 Games for Week Three:

# 8 Rochester at # 7 Clarkston: The Falcons are riding high after a 2-0 start and had a big win over Troy last week but this week the Falcons will have an even bigger challenge, especially against a monster offensive line. This could be either a Clarkston rout or a close and tight game.

Troy at # 10 Stoney Creek: The Cougars have had two blowout wins over Royal Oak and Pontiac but this week the Cougars return home to face the Colts. If Stoney Creek can win this game and go 3-0, Lake Orion is next. For the Colts this game needs to be a bounce back game especially with their third string quarterback starting behind center if its backup can’t come back into the game.

Detroit Country Day at # 6 Seaholm: The Maples have been playing really well lately but this week’s game with the Jackets won’t be easy especially since they are a powerhouse program. If the Maples want to return to the playoffs they have to send a message especially against this good program.

Adams at # 4 Oak Park: This is a rematch game for the Knights after last season. Oak Park is a very dangerous team and is riding high in confidence and making the playoffs is a real possibility. However at Adams they have struggled on both sides of the football and this is a must win game for the Highlanders if they want to make the playoffs and keep that 16 year playoff run in tact.

 # 3 Harrison at Oxford: The Hawks return to the blue turf to play the Wildcats. Both teams got huge road wins in week two. Oxford got a huge win over North Farmington while the Hawks beat Adams. Harrison and Oxford will be a battle in the trenches but defensibly should favor Harrison in this match-up.
