the biggest shocker was Troy Athens falling to Warren Mott 41-6. Lake

Clarkston behind their offensive line beat Rochester Adams 42-28. Troy
escaped Romeo 24-20. The Falcons rolled over the Utica Chieftains 38-7. Stoney

Blue Recap:
The first games of league play are underway in the Blue.
Lahser and Andover met for the
final time before becoming Bloomfield Hills next season. Lahser won the game
70-7 but after the game both Knights and Barons players and cheerleaders stood
together and dropped the sword in unity of becoming Bloomfield Hills. The
biggest shocker of the night was Groves
losing 40-22 to Berkley . Groves
one of the favorites in the Blue is still having defensive issues on that side
of the ball. Avondale rolled over Hazel Park
42-6 and Seaholm kept Ferndale off
the scoreboard at 9-0 while Royal Oak
went out of the Blue and faced Stoney Creek only to fall
55-7. The Maples, Yellow Jackets, Knights, and Bears are in good shape early heading
into league play.
Blue Standings after week one:
Lahser 1-0 1-0
Seaholm 1-0
1-0
Avondale 1-0 1-0
Royal Oak 0-0 0-1
This Week’s Games:
#7 Seaholm at Royal Oak
White Recap:
The White had an up and down week this week with two of it’s
teams falling to the power two teams in the Red. Oxford
lost a heartbreaker to Lake Orion Adams fell to Clarkston 42-28 but most of the
games that were played were wins for the league. Oak Park
won 20-14 over Detroit English Village Prep at Wayne State. Farmington
won at home 32-14 over Westland John Glenn. Harrison won
on the road at Detroit Renaissance 26-12. Southfield Lathrup stunned Pontiac
on the road 26-21. Southfield won in double overtime 21-20 over Detroit Martin
Luther King at Wayne State and North Farmington went up to Bay City and beat Bay City John
Glenn 24-13 but a big week this week as everybody in the league goes at it with
each other once more again in my opinion is the toughest league in the state of
Michigan.
White Standings after week one:
Lathrup 0-0 1-0
This Week’s Games:
Lathrup at #5 Oak Park
#4 Harrison at Adams
#3 Farmington at #1 Southfield
BIGGEST WIN: #1 Southfield
21, Detroit Martin Luther King 20 Double Overtime: In a span of heroics the
Southfield Blue Jays had to score a late touchdown to force overtime. This team
was left for dead down 14-0 during the game. Southfield
answered with a touchdown making it 14-6 but the PAT was blocked then with a
minute and five seconds left the Blue Jays scored a touchdown and got a two
point conversion to tie the score up. Then its defense stopped a Crusaders
drive with an interception from its own 28 yard line to force the extra
session. The Blue Jays and Crusaders traded picks before Southfield
scored on its first drive of the double overtime session. Detroit Martin Luther
King then answered in scoring a touchdown of it’s own but the PAT was missed in
resulting in Southfield winning at Wayne
State
BIGGEST SHOCK: Warren Mott 41, #3 Troy Athens 6: The Red
Hawks were riding high since making the playoffs last season finishing at 7-3
and losing to Romeo in five overtimes. Troy Athens had high expectations of
returning to the playoffs but the Red Hawks fell flat at home on Thursday night
against Warren Mott. The Marauders rushed for 396 yards and six touchdowns
against a beleaguered and overmatched Red Hawks defense. Warren Mott had a 41-0
lead in the fourth quarter and a 27-0 lead at the half. Troy Athens next game
is against Lake Orion
TEAM ON THE RISE: Troy :
The Colts this season has been very good, despite being under the radar. Troy
added three transfers to their team and converted their starting quarterback
from a year ago to wide receiver and they have a big offensive line to help
their strength. However in their 24-20 win over Romeo their quarterback got
hurt and the wide receiver had to play quarterback. Troy
had a 24-7 lead only to withstand a Romeo rally and win that game. The win over
the Bulldogs should give the Colts confidence especially heading into weeks
five and six when Troy goes to Lake
Orion
TEAM IN TROUBLE: Pontiac :
The Phoenix lost 26-21 to Southfield Lathrup at Wisner Stadium. Former Coach
Brad Zube and his Stoney Creek team comes into Wisner
next. This could be trouble for the Phoenix .
Pontiac with a new coach in Damien
Redmond and seven starters back from their playoff team last season still has
to play Clarkston, Troy , Rochester ,
Troy Athens, and Lake Orion Phoenix
will return to the postseason.
