The rankings were set by History Now host Anthony Taormina
Here they are.
1. Troy- Winning the OAA Red carries a lot of weight going into districts.
2. Adams- Second place in the OAA Red but not finishing well going into districts. Could be a concern.
3. Oxford- Lost only one game and didn’t win the OAA Red. Should be the favorite going into their districts.
4. Troy Athens- Big win over Catholic Central prepares them well for districts.
5. Berkley- Smallest school in the OAA Red still proving they can compete in the division. Should be well tested going into districts.
6. Seaholm- Playing Royal Oak back to back including in districts. Not easy.
7. Lake Orion- Played Adams tough. Should prepare them for an eventual matchup with Grand Blanc in the semifinals.
8. Clarkston- Needs to be more consistent going into districts. Surprised they are playing Lapeer on a Friday (usually a football night).
9. Royal Oak- Playing Seaholm back to back including in districts. Not easy.
10. Rochester- Continuing to do well in Non-League play despite losses to league teams and Lake Orion.
11. Groves- Falcons playing well going into districts. Winning four and tying one.
12. West Bloomfield- Lakers should be the favorite going into their district.
13. Stoney Creek- Cougars preparing for districts.
14. Bloomfield Hills- A trip out to Traverse City. The game was rough but the travel was nice.
15. Farmington- Despite the very tough district. Winning a league title (OAA Blue) helps.
16. North Farmington- The tough loss to Farmington decided the division.
17. Avondale- Playing schools their size will help the Yellow Jackets. Really struggled playing against schools double or triple their school size.
18. Ferndale- Very tough matchup with Troy Athens looms in districts. The Eagles staying in the top tier of the OAA Blue along with the Farmingtons gives them great confidence going into the future.
19. Pontiac- Very tough matchup with Brother Rice looming in districts. A team who already beat them 8-0 earlier in the season.
20. Southfield A&T- Middle of the pack in the OAA Blue. Not a bad showing for the Warriors. Tough matchup with Troy looms.
21. Oak Park- Knights continuing to compete. Got a big league win in a very competitive makeup game over Harper Woods. Could be a future rivalry in store between the Knights and Pioneers.
22. Harper Woods- Welcome back Pioneers. Finishing the league schedule will help long term going into the future.
