District 30 Girls Volleyball District Preview.

Written Monday November 4th, at 8:00 AM


DISTRICT 30 GIRLS VOLLEYBALL PREVIEW AT CLARKSTON:

The Girls Volleyball preview is here and it starts today with the pre district games. You got two state powers in this district along with the Rochester city Champs, an experienced legendary head coach at Rochester Adams in Irick Gardner and you got star players on each side. Here are my projections for the District round.

Monday:

STONEY CREEK VS CLARKSTON (5:30 pm): The last time the Cougars and Wolves met it only took three games for Clarkston to win. Stoney Creek is riding with a lot of emotion especially with winning the Rochester City Championship last week at Clarkston. The winner of this match up will play Lake Orion on Wednesday and that will be the Wolves. PICK: CLARKSTON IN THREE.

ROCHESTER VS OXFORD (7 pm): The Falcons and Wildcats are no stranger to each other especially in tournament play. Oxford has the star in Darien Bandell who has proven she can be a dominate force. The Oakland University commit has played well this season for coach Kristi McDermitt and she will lead her Wildcats to the second round. PICK:  OXFORD IN THREE.

Wednesday: All projected games.

CLARKSTON VS LAKE ORION (5:30 pm): This maybe the matchup of the tournament, I don’t understand why this is a 5:30 PM game and not a 7 PM game. The Wolves and Dragons met a few weeks ago in Lake Orion in which Clarkston won in four games. Lake Orion was at home and was second in the state at the time now the Wolves are ranked sixth in the state and is at home and have won four of the last five match ups with Lake Orion. This match will be very close but the Dragons in my opinion will get their revenge in the Wolves Den because of liberio play and motivation. PICK: LAKE ORION IN FIVE.

ADAMS VS OXFORD (7 pm): The Highlanders have been improving under Gardner but the Wildcats have Bandell and have played in a much tougher division than Adams (Adams-White: Oxford-Red.) Anything can happen but here it will be all Wildcats. PICK: OXFORD IN FOUR.

Thursday:

LAKE ORION VS OXFORD: The Wildcats and Dragons played a few weeks ago in Oxford with Lake Orion winning in five games. The Dragons are the deeper team here but Oxford has proven that it can play with Lake Orion but in the end I just think the motivation of playing at home in the regional will get the Dragons through this tough district. PICK: LAKE ORION IN FOUR.
