Dragons Den Top 10:

1. Clarkston

2. Oak Park

3. West Bloomfield

4. Harrison

5. Groves

6. Southfield

7. Oxford

8. Farmington

9. Orion

10. Berkley

WIN OF THE NIGHT: Groves 36, Avondale 31: The Falcons had to survive a Yellow Jackets rally on Thursday night. Groves is now in the drivers seat in the Blue setting a showdown in two weeks with Farmington. For Avondale it’s about making the playoffs now, the division race is now gone.

TOUGH LOSS: Orion 40, Stoney Creek 21: The Dragons made it two for two against Stoney Creek (Soccer-won 1-0 and football tonight) and will have an opportunity to make three for three if they beat them in Volleyball Tuesday night. Anyway to football the Cougars defense was exposed tonight as it gave up the most points it has allowed this season (Clarkston 35 points.) The Dragons lost 36-7 last season in this game got a measure of revenge and had a big night from their running game. The schedule is tough for Stoney Creek, they still have to play West Bloomfield for their homecoming and that will be tough.

TEAM THAT NEEDS A HUG: Farmington 41, Berkley 13: The Bears were just exposed against the Falcons and it showed early and often. Farmington showed why they are one of the top teams in the Blue while Berkley’s top notched defense was exposed this week. The Bears must find a way to turn this around quick or this will be a long season.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME: Rochester 34, Royal Oak 0: The Falcons just scored more points in this game than in the previous five games this season (21 points.) This was a huge win for coach Erik Vernon and a horrible loss for the Ravens considering they have experience back for coach Tim Chapman. Rochester is now wearing black pants now which are interesting in seeing them.

This Week’s Top Games:

3. West Bloomfield at 7. Oxford: The Wildcats could be in trouble in this game. The Lakers have proven they can beat anyone at any given time. Two weeks ago West Bloomfield destroyed Orion on the road and last week destroyed Bloomfield Hills. If that’s enough motivation for the Lakers it was Oxford that beat West Bloomfield and cost them a trip to the playoffs last season. Talk about irony.

5. Groves at 10. Berkley: This is a huge game for both teams. The Bears are trying to rebound after losing last week to Farmington and the Falcons are unbeaten heading into this match up. Groves has a lot of talent and hasn’t lost a beat this season. It should be an interesting match up this week.

Ferndale at Avondale: The Eagles are hot right now winning two straight and sits at 3-3. Ferndale will be going up against a Yellow Jackets team that lost two straight and is now 3-3. The winner of this game will be in great shape while the loser could be in deep trouble to make the playoffs.

North Farmington at Adams: The Raiders sit at 3-3 in this game heading to Rochester to take on the Highlanders. Adams schedule does lighten up but if they don’t win this game over North Farmington then they could miss the playoffs for the second time in three years.

We’ll see what happens next week, stay tuned to OAA Now on You tube or on ONTV for updates.
