FAVORITE: North Farmington

NEXT: Redford Thurston

DARKHORSE: Livonia Stevenson

PLAYER ON SPOT: Avi Melster- North Farmington.

INSIGHT: This should be a very interesting district. North Farmington was in the Division One State Finals falling to Orchard Lake St. Marys last season. The Raiders have Avi Melster, Will MacShara, Rob Smith, and DJ Morgan coming back for Coach Todd Negoshian. Livonia Churchill had a really rough year going winless last season. The Patriots have Andrew Creedon, Emmanuel Williams, Diego Cantu, Levi Florence, Alex Mood, Max Shewesing, Jamari White, and Myles Boone coming back for new coach Cameron Scott. Livonia Stevenson has a ton of proven experience in Tyler Hall, Jackson Stoops, Isiah Iacoben, Joe Berry, Jack Woods, Antonio Aiaz, Jonah Waligora, and Iyran Altrack coming back for new Coach John Mackson. Livonia Franklin really struggled in league despite winning 11 games last season.

Redford Thurston won 14 games last season. The Eagles have Daniel Winston, Nicholas Warren, and Tyler Floyd coming back for new coach Michael Allie. Farmington will look to have a bounce back season after injuries really derailed their season. The Falcons have Darnell Cochrane and Randy Rice coming back for Coach Byron Johnson but they took a hit with the loss of Greg Grays. Grays transferred to Birmingham Brother Rice this offseason. This district should be very interesting to see what happens.

PLAYER ON SPOT: Greg Grays- Birmingham Brother Rice.

INSIGHT: This should be a very competitive district in Beverly Hills. Groves is loaded with proven experience. The Falcons have Jon Simpson, Josh Gibson, Paul Hubbard, Landon McKinney, and David Jones coming back for Coach Marc West. Oak Park has a ton of experience after a tough loss to Groves last season. The Knights have Jason Harris coming back for Coach Durrand Sheppard but they took a hit with their top player Geon Hutchins transferring to Warren Lincoln. Seaholm has a new system and a younger team. The Maples have Everett Wertz, Will Solderwall, Charlie Gorycia, and Cole Baldwin coming back for new coach Spenser Adams. Southfield Arts and Tech will look to have a bounce back after struggling in the White last season. The Warriors have Cameron Dickerson and Trent Green coming back for Coach Terrance Porter. Bloomfield Hills is an up and coming team and is one of those teams that could make noise in the Blue. The Blackhawks have D’Ron Mason, Philip Muhammad, Carter Hartfield, Mason Hitchcock, and Carter Canfield coming back along with an up and coming player in Brandon Bies for Coach Brian Canfield. Birmingham Brother Rice had a really strong postseason run last season. The Warriors have David Williams, Jacob Lamb, Jeremiah Caffey, John Lilley, Logan Hahama, and Trevor Smith coming back. They added Greg Grays who transferred from Farmington along with Landon Ecckles, and Sebastian Thrower who transferred from Louisiana for Coach Ricky Palmer.

PROJECTED SEEDS: 1. Orchard Lake St. Marys, 2. West Bloomfield, 3. Walled Lake Central, 4. Lakeland, 5. Walled Lake Northern.

FAVORITE: Orchard Lake St. Marys

NEXT: West Bloomfield

DARKHORSE: Walled Lake Central

PLAYER ON SPOT: Jayden Savoury- Orchard Lake St. Marys.

INSIGHT: This is shaping up to be a very interesting district on the black top at West Bloomfield. The defending Division One State Champs are in this district and they are loaded again. West Bloomfield is loaded with proven talent and had a really strong year last season. The Lakers have De'Avion Thomas, Corey Pittman, Brendin Jones, Artis Hicks, Terrance Lowe, Ryan Hood, David Lewis, Jamad Williams, and Chris Britton coming back for Coach Arnette Jordan. Walled Lake Central had a very strong year last season. The Vikings have Frank Knolton, Giovanni Charles, Anthony Camacho, Asa Clay, Garrod Alexander, Preston Dado, Zakira Jallow, Peyton Kassab, and Jake Nellett coming back for Coach Chuck Splonky. Walled Lake Northern was down last season and will look to have a bounce back year this season. The Knights have Ryne Socha, Eli Ryan, Stone Seyburn, Jack Cooper, Michael Hatcher, Tim Awad, Andy Avitia, and Gavin Delaney coming back for Coach Ryan Negoshian. Lakeland will look to have a bounce back year. The Eagles have Nskian Usen, Cole Bromley, Walker Lewinski, Hayden Cross, Nathan Bronka, and Chandler Good coming back for Coach Rob Thompson. Orchard Lake St. Marys is the defending Division One State Champs and they are loaded again this season. The Eaglets have Geon Sheets, Sharod Barnes, Trey McKinney, Isiah Hines, Jayden Savoury, Peyton Kemp, and Aiden Hanks coming back for Coach Todd Covert. Overall this should be a very interesting district, the Eaglets are the favorite but can't count out the Lakers by a long shot.

OXFORD

Lapeer

Davison

Grand Blanc

Swartz Creek

Holly

 

PROJECTED SEEDS: 1. Grand Blanc, 2. Oxford, 3. Davison, 4. Swartz Creek, 5. Lapeer, 6. Holly.

FAVORITE: Grand Blanc

NEXT: Oxford

DARKHORSE: Davison

PLAYER ON SPOT: Luke Stoffan- Oxford.

INSIGHT: This should be a very interesting district in Lapeer. Grand Blanc had a deep postseason run where they went to the regional finals falling 65-40 to Orchard Lake St. Marys. The Bobcats have Donnie Huddleson, Isiah McCree, Larryeon Subblett, Malachi Evans, Matthew Evans, Omar Young, Caseton Sendry, Angelo Diedalis, Georgeyon Cannon, and Lawrence Walker coming back along with newcomer Max O'Mara for Coach Dorence Martin. Davison won 17 games but was upset 48-47 by Holly in the district semifinals last season. The Cardinals have Cortez Porter and Jackson Bowden coming back for Coach Mike Williams but they took a huge losses when Danny Wolak (Flint Powers) Amari Blythe and Greg Lawson transferred out of Davison to play at prep schools. Lapeer really struggled last season and will have a new coach. The Lightning have Will Fisher coming back for new coach Jack Chittle. Chittle comes from North Branch but he's very familiar with Lapeer as he was the junior varsity football and baseball coach with the Lightning. Holly has had a ton of success as of late despite losing a ton of talent last season. They upset Davison 48-47 in the district semifinals before falling to Grand Blanc last season. The Bronchos have Bowen Moore and Xander Jacobsen coming back for Coach Steve DeHart. Swartz Creek has been up and down after winning six games last season. The Dragons have Ian Johnson, Boston Koebke, Carson Wistuba, William Gray, Isiah Spencer, Alex Miller, Braylin Stell, and King Powell coming back for Coach Kevin Root.

The Wildcats have a ton of proven experience in Jake Champagne, Drew Cady, Robert George, Nolan Mauser, Colatrane Hudson, Brennan Elling, Parker Bennion, Cayden Smith, Jonah Lundeberg, and Luke Stoffan coming back for Coach Joe Fedorchik. This should be a very interesting district to say the least, four teams have a shot to win this district.

AVONDALE

CLARKSTON

LAKE ORION

Waterford Kettering

Waterford Mott

 

PROJECTED SEEDS: 1. Clarkston, 2. Lake Orion, 3. Avondale, 4. Waterford Mott, 5. Waterford Kettering.

FAVORITE: Clarkston

NEXT: Waterford Mott

DARKHORSE: Lake Orion

PLAYER ON SPOT: JaKobe Manyweathers- Waterford Mott.

INSIGHT: This is the same district as last season when Clarkston won the district over Waterford Mott. It wouldn't surprise anyone if a team wins 16 games and is the four seed in this district, it is that loaded. Clarkston was around 500 last season and they are the early favorite in this "Group of Death" district. The Wolves have Hayden Flavin, Cole Charter, Jon Kaul, Doug Schoenfield, Hayden Barrow, Caleb Harmon, Alex Waszczenko, Braylen Weeks, and Quinn Rosenburg coming back along with Shane Dasuqi, Troy Rosenburg coming in and Ace Walters transferred from Birmingham Brother Rice for Coach Tim Waslik. Avondale has had their battles with Clarkston in the past including a 38-37 loss to the Wolves last season and they both are in the Red this season. The Yellow Jackets have Jordan Bush, Jordan Clayton, DJ Moody, Makao Carroll, Isaac Gordon, Javontae Anderson, Braylin Grandberry, Karri Fields, Qualaeb Ross, and Justin Greer-Sykes coming back. They also added Jakobe Louris who transferred from Lake Orion this offseason for Coach Jaret Thomas. Waterford Kettering really struggled last season. The Captains have Jordan Jarrell, Nathan Bisnett, Hunter Jager, Trevor Meredith, Hayden Bigelow, Braycen Harrington, Cole Hendin, and Gavin Robinette coming back for Coach Steve Emert. Waterford Mott made it to the district finals and shared the Lakes Valley Crown with Walled Lake Central last season. They could be the favorite in the Lakes Valley this season. The Corsairs have Gavin Ort, Israel Anthony, JaKobe Manyweathers, Damari Stephens, Greg White, Tory Robinson, Nate Lewis, Devin Lewis, and Austin Sheets coming back for Coach Jeff Jayson however the Corsairs took a big hit with a season ending injury to Max Jansenvanvuren who got hurt in football. Lake Orion was very young last season and look to have a strong bounce back year this season as one of the favorites in the White. The Dragons have Zack Parks, Ryan Rocheleau, Gabe Scott, Nick Galben, Jackson Shoskey, Nate Guccione, Steven Butcher, Joey Neering, and Max Neering coming back for Coach Jose Andrades. This should be a fun district, four teams have a great chance to win this district.

ROCHESTER

ADAMS

STONEY CREEK

Utica

Romeo

Utica Eisenhower

 

PROJECTED SEEDS: 1. Adams, 2. Rochester, 3. Stoney Creek, 4. Utica Eisenhower, 5. Romeo, 6. Utica.

FAVORITE: Adams

NEXT: Rochester

DARKHORSE: Stoney Creek

PLAYER ON SPOT: Tyree Smith- Stoney Creek.

INSIGHT: This is the same district as last season but it's moved a bit east to Livernois and Walton Blvd. Utica won the district and 22 games last season behind a veteran heavy team. The Chieftains have Jonathan Carter, Cass Rissman, Kellen Condon, Eddy Tolme, and Owen Sulik coming back for Coach David Hinkle. Rochester looks to have a bounce back year after a tough 45-30 loss to Adams in the district semifinals. The Falcons have Max Muhl, Noah Kim, Luke Lower, Anthony Chirco, Kellen Muhl, and Jake Tandy coming back along with a talented freshmen who could make some noise in Owen Trombley for Coach Nick Evola. Utica Eisenhower had their ups and down last season. The Eagles have Trey Richardson, Randall Rice, Alex Edgar, John Hardiman, and Maddox Moore coming back for new Coach Anthony Muscrat. Romeo has been a really interesting story especially in the postseason winning two district games in four years. The Bulldogs have Ben Stojanvski, Salvatore Leone, Austin Habicht, Alex Kelley, and Brody Hare coming back for Coach Marv Cushingberry. Adams is coming off a very tough 66-61 loss to Utica on their home floor in the district finals. The Highlanders are a young team but they have proven experience in Colin Langdon, Clark Langdon, Trenton LaGarge, Luke Marcial, and Cannon Flynn coming back for Coach Isiah Novak. Stoney Creek looks to have the biggest pressure on them this season after winning nine games in two years. The Cougars have Gideon Beers, Chritos Marselis, Koby Rauner, Joseph Zoorob, Spencer Beckeman, and Tyree Smith coming back for Coach Jeff Olind. This district looks different on paper but you never know with how this would work.

ROYAL OAK

TROY

TROY ATHENS

BERKLEY

PROJECTED SEEDS: 1. Troy, 2. Berkley, 3. Troy Athens, 4. Royal Oak, 5. Warren Mott.

FAVORITE: Troy

NEXT: Berkley

DARKHORSE: Troy Athens

PLAYER ON SPOT: Jack Sobotka- Troy.

INSIGHT: This is shaping up to be a very interesting district in Royal Oak. Royal Oak has been a hard team to figure out in the last two years especially starting out strong but struggling during the middle to the end of the season. The Ravens have CJ Hariston, Nick Hoffman, Yurem Patino, and Ethan Cousins coming back for Coach Aaron Smith. Berkley lost a ton of talent from last season but they somehow rebound really well. The Bears have Avery Johnson, Evan Young, Jacob Friedman, Evan Haenick, Sam Niyo, and Kenny Swain coming back for Coach Joe Sermo. Troy looks to be the favorite in this district for good reason. The Colts have Cameron Adams, Patrick Johnson, Andrew Lake, Leo Penoza, Cung Lian, Colin Bastein, Jack Sobotka, Will De'Armit, and Mason Parker coming back for Coach Gary Fralick. Warren Mott had a really tough year winning three games last season. The Marauders have Asraf Ahmed, Kevin Barden, Juan Chaney, Wesley Gilmore, Markel Green, Martino Hollywood, Siere Keith-Bouyer, Michael Kronner, and Micheal Plater coming back for Coach Gary Tilney. Troy Athens has a new coach and a new system this season. The Red Hawks have Nathan Piggott, Liam Dempsey, Nate Appledorn, Brendan Tucker, and Alex Beaubien coming back for new coach Mitchell Vercellino. This district on paper looks like it's the Colts to lose but anything is possible in this district that is for sure.

 

District 60 @ Hazel Park

FERNDALE

FERNDALE UNIVERSITY

Hazel Park

Detroit Osborn

Detroit Pershing

Warren Lincoln

 

PROJECTED SEEDS: 1. Warren Lincoln, 2. Ferndale, 3. Detroit Pershing, 4. Detroit Osborn, 5. Hazel Park, 6. Ferndale University.

FAVORITE: Warren Lincoln

NEXT: Ferndale

DARKHORSE: Detroit Pershing

PLAYER ON SPOT: DaMarion Bozeman- Warren Lincoln.

INSIGHT: This is the district that has produced the last two Division Two State Champions in Ferndale and Warren Lincoln. Warren Lincoln is the defending Division Two State Champs. The Abes are loaded with proven experience in DaMarion Bozeman, Markus Blackwell, Moses Blackwell, Chris Morgan, Chase Moore, Julian Edison, and Oshay Johnson coming back and have added Geon Hutchins who transferred from Oak Park for Coach Wendell Henry. Ferndale won the Division Two State crown two years ago will look to have a bounce back season. The Eagles have Eden Vinyard, Toriano Adams, Cameron Fraser, Drakkar Washington, Tyler Ruth, Juilan Cardenas, and Dexter Wilson for Coach Juan Rickman. Ferndale University should be much improved this season. The Eagles have Kevin Williams-Jackson, Amere Harris, Tyler Stokes, DeQuan Small, Taiwan Johnson, Antonio Jones, Dontrelle Milton, Devin Moore, and Kody Pippen coming back for Coach Josh Nicks. Hazel Park went through a coaching transition winning seven games last season. The Vikings have Kylen Belton, Douglas Calhoun, Christopher Hana, Maxwell Jones-El, and Jayden Page coming back along with newcomer Jayce Goff coming into the program for Coach Cecil Goff. Detroit Pershing won 12 games last season but they will have a new coach. Detroit Osborn will look to have a bounce back season winning 10 games last season for Coach Anton Bradford. This district looks like we could see a rematch between Ferndale and Warren Lincoln but anything is possible that is for sure.

HARPER WOODS

Eastpointe

Harper Woods Chandler Park

St. Clair Shores South Lake

PROJECTED SEEDS: 1. Center Line, 2. Harper Woods, 3. Harper Woods Chandler Park, 4. Eastpointe, 5. St. Clair Shores South Lake

FAVORITE: Center Line

NEXT: Harper Woods

DARKHORSE: Harper Woods Chandler Park

PLAYER ON SPOT: Jyshawn Lucas- Center Line.

INSIGHT: This should be a very interesting district in extreme southern Macomb County with a few Macomb and Wayne County teams in this district. Eastpointe won 14 games and the district crown last season. They also have home court this season. The Shamrocks Aaron Bailey and Dalton Davis have coming back for Coach Michael Railey. Harper Woods will have a very young team especially with the guards this season. The Pioneers have Miron Bayor, Jaden McDonald, and Curtis Flaug coming back for Coach TaJuan Porter. Harper Woods Chandler Park Academy won 12 games last season for Coach Bobby Thompson. St. Clair Shores South Lake won 11 games for Coach Kurt Wilson. Center Line won 21 games last season and comes into this district. The Panthers have Kameren Broughton, Jyshawn Lucas, Isiah Ashford, Terez Holmes, Caleli Spencer, Brian Kennedy, and Tony Jones coming back for Coach Derrick Walton.

The Fighting Irish has Joe DeCasas, Nick Fandino, Mark Galle, Micahel Khouri, Nick Kobylecki, Sam Phillips, Sam Stowe, and Colin Whalen coming back for Coach Whitney Robinson.
