# has make up league games to play.

1. Rochester Adams:

9-0: 13-0

The Highlanders are still undefeated heading into February. Adams still has to make up a non league match up with Troy Athens but the Red Hawks should be no problem for the Highlanders. The team that could severely test the unbeaten season will be Stoney Creek because Adams will travel to them. The Highlanders still have Oxford coming to Rochester but trips to Troy and Lake Orion could be tricky games for them as well.

2. Troy :

8-1: 11-2

The Colts have been rolling as well and still has to make up a non league game with West Bloomfield. The schedule is interesting though for Troy. The Colts have Adams coming to Troy later in the season but has to travel to Bloomfield Hills on Tuesday and still has to play Groves twice. If the Colts can win these two games then the league title could very well be in sight.

3. Bloomfield Hills:

6-3: 11-3

The Blackhawks got the bad taste out of their mouth after losing to Rochester Adams on Wednesday by blowing out Farmington on Saturday. The schedule is interesting though as Bloomfield Hills has Troy on Tuesday at home and still has Oxford there as well. The Blackhawks have a very tough non league road game at Harrison they will have to deal with down the line.

# 4. Orion:

3-5: 7-6

The Dragons have had a tough three game road trip finally will return home against Farmington and Groves this week. The schedule will ease up and the team has gotten healthier as well. Lake Orion has Farmington, Groves, Royal Oak, Groves, and Rochester in a span of two weeks before closing out the season with two tough games at Oxford and hosts Rochester Adams. The schedule is less daunting but you have to play the game and be weary of the upset bug.

# 5. Rochester:

3-5:  4-10

The Falcons are in striking distance of catching both Lake Orion and Oxford for fourth place in the White. Rochester did beat Farmington Thursday night and will host Oxford on Tuesday. The Falcons will still need to make up a game with Groves as well but the home schedule is not an easy one. Besides Oxford, they host Troy, Lake Orion, Adams, and Bloomfield Hills for their final five games of the season. That’s not a good stretch by any means for Rochester.

6. Oxford:

4-5: 9-5

The Wildcats have been an up and down team lately. The schedule is tricky as they travel to Rochester and Adams this week. Oxford started out the season red hot at 5-0 but has fallen back down to the pack a little bit. They do have a non league game with Richmond which should be a win and has Lake Orion at home along with a trip to Bloomfield Hills. This could be a very tricky road if the Wildcats aren’t careful.

7. Farmington:

1-8: 3-12

The Falcons have struggled lately but were competitive in a loss to Rochester on Thursday night. Farmington was blown out by Bloomfield Hills as expected by many. The schedule is challenging for the Falcons. Farmington will travel to Lake Orion on Tuesday and will have Bloomfield Hills, Troy, and Oxford all coming to Farmington. That’s not a good stretch heading into districts.

# 8. Groves:

0-6: 1-10

The Falcons have to make up a lot of games and have been victim to the Birmingham Schools policy all season long. Groves still has Lake Orion and Troy twice along with make up games against Ferndale University and Rochester that they have to make up. The schedule is brutal with Adams at home this week and then a trip to Lake Orion. Groves still has Bloomfield Hills on the road along with that. I don’t know what to say for them except it could be a long and bumpy road for them.
