BIGGEST WIN OF THE WEEK: Southfield
49, Oxford 7: The Blue Jays sent a
loud and clear message on their homecoming that they are still going to be
dangerous. Southfield took a 28-7
halftime lead and never looked back. The Blue Jays are now in real good shape to make the playoffs and do so this week against Adams. The Wildcats now are 3-3 and have three
home games to make the playoffs, however one of those games is against Oak
Park .
BAD LOSS: Farmington
41, Adams 29: For the first time in 15 years the
Highlanders won’t be going to the postseason. Adams now
sits a 1-5 and 1-4 in the White. The Falcons has won two in a row since the loss
to Oak Park and is rolling heading into it's Farmington showdowns, starting with the team from the North and then it's Harrison.
TEAM THAT NEEDS A HUG: Stoney Creek
35, Troy Athens 31: In a wild one on the Red Hawks homecoming, the Cougars
hopes are still alive to make the playoffs. Stoney Creek
is now 3-3 and plays West Bloomfield next week for their
homecoming while Troy Athens travels to Rochester
to battle the Falcons. The Red Hawks need a hug after their tough 0-4 start but there is no where to go but up from here if your Troy Athens
ARE YOU KIDDING ME: Royal Oak 18, Ferndale 13: The Eagles
had the playoffs right in their grasp after getting the forfeit win with Andover and
the 14-6 win over Groves last week but the inconsistencies continued especially
on homecoming night to make it worst of all. This was the Ravens first OAA win since 2007 and second
since then (SCS Lakeshore.) Ferndale
had a chance to ice the game but couldn’t do it and then the next play Royal
Oak (1-5, 1-4 Blue) went 81 yards and into the end
zone. The Eagles now stands at 2-4 and is likely going to miss out on the
postseason yet again.
Week Seven Big Games:
8. Harrison (4-2, 3-2 White) at 2. Oak
Park (6-0, 5-0 White): The Hawks can gain huge
momentum if they win this game in Knight
Valley Oak
Park can clinch a share of the White with a win over Harrison .
The Knights also want revenge after losing at Farmington
last season while the Hawks can keep riding the momentum to the playoffs.
3. Seaholm (5-1, 5-0 Blue) at 5. Lahser (5-1, 5-0 Blue):
This match will go in a long way to decide the Blue as both teams are unbeaten
in league play with their only losses against non conference opponents (Seaholm
to Detroit Country Day, Lahser to Pontiac Notre Dame Prep.) Seaholm had one of
its biggest wins last week against Avondale. Lahser rolled past Berkley
at home. This race is clearly a four team race if you still include Avondale
and Hazel Park in there.
7. Southfield
(4-2, 3-2 White) at Adams (1-5, 1-4 White): The Highlanders are now forced to
play spoilers after they will miss the playoffs for the first time in 15
seasons. Also its homecoming week, after losing three straight road games Adams
entertains Southfield , who has won
two in a row since the overtime loss to Oak Park .

My biggest shock of the night was Lansing Holt going down to
Lansing Sexton 21-7. The Rams (3-3, 2-2 Capital Area Conference Blue) last week
gave East Lansing its first loss of
the season suffered its third loss on the season and is in danger of missing
the playoffs. Holt now needs to win out and especially win at Grand Ledge (5-1,
4-0 Capital Area Conference Blue) if the have any chance of making the postseason.
Another loss that wasn’t as surprising was Davison’s 42-28
loss to Flint Powers Catholic. Powers is a very good football team and is now
6-0 and 3-0 in the Saginaw Valley Conference South division but the Cardinals
put up a fight until the very end. Davison (4-2, 3-1 SVC South) will make the
playoffs but they do have to play Flint Carman Ainsworth (6-0. 3-0 SVC South)
in the final game of the season on the road. Once the postseason starts for the
Cardinals, if the draw see them going west then they would see Hartland, Grand
Blanc, and Flint Carman Ainsworth but if they go south they could see Lake
Orion
Grand Blanc is taking advantage of KLAA play in the West division. The Bobcats (4-2, 4-0 KLAA West) are now back in the conversation for a playoff spot but is still in danger of missing the postseason. The Bobcats have to travel to Hartland (6-0, 4-0 KLAA West) and Plymouth (5-1, 3-1 KLAA South) for games during the season. If they can win one of those games and the crossover then they will be postseason bound.
Romeo (3-3, 1-2 MAC Red) is fighting on for one more week.
The Bulldogs went into St. Clair County and stunned the Big Reds of Port Huron
21-20 in a close game after the Big Reds quarterback made a mistake by taking a knee instead of spiking the ball. Romeo now needs to win at Dan Barnabo Field next week
against Utica Eisenhower (4-2, 1-2 MAC Red) if they want any chance of making
the postseason. I don’t think Romeo’s two big wins over Chippewa
Valley Troy .
Another game that stunned was up in northwest Michigan
when Traverse City West took on their city rivals from Traverse
City in Traverse City Central. The Trojans (5-1, 4-0
Big North) shocked the Titans 42-28 and is in division two for playoffs. TC West (4-2, 3-1 Big North) is in
division one for playoffs. The schedule in the Big North doesn't get any easier
for the Titans especially with tough games, at Petoskey and at home with Ogemaw
Heights Ogemaw Heights Rockford
opens up the door for the Rams to sneak by and get home field advantage away
from one or both teams.
The Walled Lake Northern (4-2, 4-0 KLAA North) scoring
machine continues but will be put to the test when the Knights travel to White
Lake Lakeland (5-1, 3-1
KLAA North) is also riding high as well. The Eagles could go south and see KLAA
rivals Northville, and the Plymouth schools or go west to see Hartland or go
east to see Lake Orion or Clarkston. Walled Lake
Northern Plymouth rivals
or go west to see Hartland or could go east to see Lake
Orion
The fun begins for Sterling Heights Stevenson this week after a win over Utica. The Titans (5-1, 2-1 MAC Red) will have three tough games to close out the season. Stevenson will go to Chippewa Valley who is also rolling at 5-1, and 2-1 in the MAC Red with it's only loss to Romeo, who Stevenson won 22-18 at Dan Barnabo two weeks ago. The next week the Titans will go to Sweinhart to take on the Eagles of Utica Eisenhower (4-2, 1-2 MAC Red) and to closeout the season they host Warren Mott (6-0, 3-0 MAC White.) The Titans could very well not make the playoffs if they don't win one of these three games.
