Playoff Thoughts.

Written Monday October 28th, at 12:05 AM

These are your playoff match ups with my thoughts in them as well.

Division One:

Region 1, District 1:

Traverse City West at Rockford-Rams has done well historically against the Titans.

East Kentwood at Hudsonville-The Eagles beat the Falcons 20-9 two weeks ago.

Region 1, District 2:

Lansing Holt at Flint Carman Ainsworth-First time in a while these two have met.

Brighton at Grand Blanc-Bobcats beat the Bulldogs 44-21 in week four.

Region 2, District 1:

Oxford at Clarkston-First meeting between the two teams since 2011.

Romeo at Lake Orion-First meeting between the two teams since 2008.

Region 2, District 2:

Waterford Kettering at Walled Lake Northern-Knights won 24-19 in week six.

Stoney Creek at Adams-First meeting since 2011 for these Tienken Road rivals.

Region 3, District 1:

Novi Detroit Catholic Central at Northville- Odd to see the Shamrocks a four seed.

Plymouth Canton at Walled Lake Western-First meeting this season for both teams.

Region 3, District 2:

Westland John Glenn at Temperance Bedford- Mules playing with a lot of emotion.

Belleville at Saline- Hornets wants Mules in worst way.

Region 4, District 1:

Warren De LaSalle at Macomb Dakota-Match of the year in Macomb County

Macomb L’Anse Creuse North at Chippewa Valley- Tough match for the Big Reds.

Region 4, District 2:

Grosse Pointe South at Detroit Cass Tech-Quest for a three peat starts here

Dearborn Fordson at Warren Mott- First meeting in a while between these two teams.

I was very shocked that Walled Lake Northern was rewarded with their own district with Stoney Creek and Adams in there in Region 2, District 2 while Clarkston and Lake Orion were placed in the same district in Region 2, District 1.

The toughest district is Region 3, District 1 in which Novi Detroit Catholic Central will meet Northville and Canton meets Walled Lake Western and whoever wins that one will likely either meet Temperance Bedford or Saline in the regional finals.

Probably the most interesting game of the weekend will be Macomb Dakota and Warren De La Salle meeting each other. I think these two teams have the best shot to oust Detroit Cass Tech from the playoffs on this side of the bracket but you can’t count out Temperance Bedford, Saline, Novi Detroit Catholic Central, or Walled Lake Western in that side of the bracket.

Division Two:

Region 1, District 1:

Marquette at Midland- Redman have to travel far for this game.

Midland Dow at Fenton- The Tigers can do some damage in this match up.

Region 1, District 2:

Muskegon Mona Shores at Lowell-First meeting between Red Arrows and Sailors.

Muskegon Reeths Puffer at Muskegon- Big Reds won 20-7 last week.

Region 2, District 1:

Lansing Everett at Portage Central- The Vikings travel southwest, won’t be easy.

Portage Northern at Battle Creek Lakeview-Both teams should know each other well.

Region 2, District 2:

North Farmington at Harrison- Hawks have owned the Raiders.

Pinckney at South Lyon-Lions beat the Pirates 33-17 in week one.

Region 3, District 1:

Groves at Brother Rice- Falcons have no chance against the Warriors.

Southfield at Seaholm- It will be Oxford all over again for the Maples.

Region 3, District 2:

Warren Woods Tower at U-D Jesuit- Cubs earned this playoff berth.

Detroit Renaissance at Oak Park-Phoenix good luck against John Kelly.

Region 4, District 1:

Detroit Cody at Detroit Martin Luther King-First meeting between the two teams.

Detroit East English at Grosse Pointe North-The Battle of Mack Avenue is here.

Region 4, District 2:

Ypsilanti Lincoln at Wyandotte Roosevelt-Bears beat the Railsplitters last season.

Taylor Truman at Allen Park-Jaguars beat the Cougars 21-14 in week six.

It looks like Lowell and Muskegon will likely rematch in the district finals and that winner could move to the state finals. It looks like Birmingham Brother Rice is the clear favorite but Southfield could give the Warriors problems in the district finals but in the end of the day it looks like we will likely have pending major upsets a Birmingham Brother Rice vs. Lowell or Muskegon district final. The toughest district is Region 1, District 2. You could see a Lowell/Muskegon district final and these two teams have all ready played this season. We’ll see what happens.
