Softball District Preview.

Written Sunday May 19th at 10:45 AM

Here is the softball district preview. This will be updated once we get the District 56 matchups.

District 4 at Lapeer

Lapeer vs. Holly

OXFORD vs. Davison

THOUGHTS/PROJECTION: This should be a very interesting district. Oxford and Davison will be very interesting as will Lapeer and Holly in the district semifinals. I think the Wildcats experience moves them on over a very good Bronchos team. PICK: OXFORD.

 

District 22 at Farmington Hills Mercy

Livonia Stevenson vs. FARMINGTON

SOUTHFIELD ARTS AND TECH vs. Farmington Hills Mercy

THOUGHTS/PROJECTION: Livonia Stevenson and Farmington Hills Mercy should be a very interesting district finals. The Spartans have a very strong team but so does the Marlins. Home field will be the difference here. PICK: FARMINGTON HILLS MERCY.

 

District 23 at Warren Mott

FERNDALE vs. Warren Mott

OAK PARK vs. Detroit Renaissance

THOUGHTS/PROJECTION: This is not a very strong district when looking at the teams. Warren Mott is a very young team and could get to the district finals. Ferndale is the other team that could make a run. I think Detroit Renaissance wins this district with ease. PICK: DETROIT RENAISSANCE.

 

District 26 at Waterford Kettering

Waterford Mott (8) vs. Waterford Kettering (26)

Waterford Kettering vs. BLOOMFIELD HILLS

WEST BLOOMFIELD vs. CLARKSTON

THOUGHTS/PROJECTION: This is a very interesting district. Clarkston hasn't been themselves while West Bloomfield has had some moments of good and bad. Bloomfield Hills has also been solid as well. I can't go against the Wolves in this district even with the changes they made, nope. PICK: CLARKSTON.

 

District 27 at Seaholm

NORTH FARMINGTON vs. GROVES

SEAHOLM vs. BERKLEY

THOUGHTS/PROJECTION: This is a very interesting district. Berkley looks to be the favorite in this district with a ton of proven experience. Seaholm played in the Red and has home field. The Maples have been looking really strong recently. Groves has been up and down as has North Farmington. Both the Raiders and the Falcons are more than capable of winning this district as Seaholm. I think the Bears find a way and win this very competitive district. PICK: BERKLEY.

 

District 28 at Avondale

TROY vs. TROY ATHENS

AVONDALE vs. ROYAL OAK

THOUGHTS/PROJECTION: This is a very interesting district. Troy and Troy Athens should be a very interesting district semifinals. I really like what Royal Oak has done. They won a district last season beating Berkley and hopes to continue that same magic. It's a tougher district this time around but the Ravens get it done for the second time. PICK: ROYAL OAK.

 

District 29 at Stoney Creek

LAKE ORION vs. ROCHESTER

STONEY CREEK vs. ADAMS

THOUGHTS/PROJECTION: Erin Flynn vs the Dragons looks like it will be inevitable pending if there isn't any upsets. Stoney Creek is ranked, has one of the State's best pitchers, and has home field. Lake Orion has been an honorable mention all season. If the Dragons can get to Flynn and force her pitch count to rise that spells trouble for the Cougars. Give me the team that has been there before. PICK: LAKE ORION.

 

District 56 at Harper Woods

HARPER WOODS vs Detroit East English Village Prep

Detroit Denby vs Detroit Southeastern

THOUGHTS/PREDICTION: This is not a strong district when looking at the teams. Detroit East English Village and Detroit Denby have had above 500 records this season. Harper Woods have played a much tougher schedule. I think the Pioneers win this district because of the schedule. PICK: HARPER WOODS.
