District 22 @ Livonia Stevenson

FARMINGTON

Farmington Hills Mercy

Livonia Franklin

Livonia Stevenson

Redford Thurston

 

PROJECTED MATCHUPS:

5. FARMINGTON vs 4. Livonia Franklin

Winner plays 1. Farmington Hills Mercy

 

3. Redford Thurston vs 2. Livonia Stevenson

 

FAVORITE: Farmington Hills Mercy

NEXT: Livonia Stevenson

DARKHORSE: Redford Thurston

PLAYER ON SPOT: Aizlyn Albanese- Farmington Hills Mercy.

UPSET ALERT: Livonia Stevenson

 

ANALYST UPDATE: This district is pretty much set. Livonia Franklin and Farmington will likely meet as the four and five seeds in the first round while that winner plays Farmington Hills Mercy in what will be a really difficult matchup in the district semifinals. Livonia Stevenson and Redford Thurston are locked to play each other in the district semifinals. Overall no changes with the likely matchup being the Marlins and the Spartans in the district finals.

 


District 23 @ Detroit Renaissance

OAK PARK

Detroit Renaissance

Detroit Mumford

Hamtramck

Warren Fitzgerald

 

PROJECTED MATCHUPS: 

5. OAK PARK vs 4. Hamtramck

Winner plays 1. Detroit Renaissance

 

3. Warren Fitzgerald vs 2. Detroit Mumford

 

FAVORITE: Detroit Renaissance

NEXT: Detroit Mumford

DARKHORSE: Hamtramck

PLAYER ON SPOT: Ceniyah Williams- Detroit Mumford.

UPSET ALERT: Detroit Mumford 


ANALYST UPDATE: There are really no changes to this district when it comes to the seeds. Detroit Renaissance is locked into the top seed and will await Oak Park or Hamtramck in the district semifinals. The Cosmos have been in a bit of a funk but they have a chance to pass Warren Fitzgerald and not have to play on that Monday but the Spartans have played a more tougher schedule and they could give Detroit Mumford some fits in the district semifinals. Either way still no one is touching Detroit Renaissance.

 

 

District 24 @ Birmingham Marian

GROVES

SEAHOLM

BLOOMFIELD HILLS

NORTH FARMINGTON

SOUTHFIELD ARTS AND TECH

Birmingham Marian

 

PROJECTED MATCHUPS:

6. NORTH FARMINGTON vs 3. Birmingham Marian

Winner plays 2. SEAHOLM

 

5. GROVES vs 4. BLOOMFIELD HILLS

Winner plays 1. SOUTHFIELD ARTS AND TECH

 

FAVORITE: Seaholm

NEXT: Birmingham Marian

DARKHORSE: Southfield Arts and Tech

PLAYER ON SPOT: Ella Swanson- Birmingham Marian.

UPSET ALERT: Southfield Arts and Tech


ANALYST UPDATE: This district is pretty much insane at the moment. Seaholm has been in a funk which is really dangerous especially with Southfield Arts and Tech riding a boatload of confidence right now after their emotional win over Berkley. The Warriors have the two seed while the Maples have the top seed at the moment which is very uneasy with Seaholm's struggles which includes losses to Groves, Royal Oak, Wixom St. Catherine and Sienna, and Rochester. Birmingham Marian, Groves, and Bloomfield Hills are battling for the third seed which looks like it will be Birmingham Marian getting the third seed. Despite the Mustangs struggles they are the most dangerous team in this district. Whoever gets the three seed matches up with North Farmington who is locked into the six seed while the four seed plays whoever is the five seed in that battle for the three seed. Both top seeds look vulnerable for upset by those who have to play on Monday. This is a wide open district, crazy things are very much likely.



District 25 @ West Bloomfield

WEST BLOOMFIELD

Orchard Lake St. Marys

Walled Lake Central

Walled Lake Northern

Lakeland

 

PROJECTED MATCHUPS:

5. Walled Lake Central vs 4. Walled Lake Northern

Winner plays 1. Orchard Lake St. Marys

 

3. Lakeland vs 2. WEST BLOOMFIELD

 

FAVORITE: West Bloomfield

NEXT: Orchard Lake St. Marys

DARKHORSE: Lakeland

PLAYER ON SPOT: Amal Younes- Walled Lake Northern.

UPSET ALERT: West Bloomfield


ANALYST UPDATE: This could come down to the final weeks of the season. West Bloomfield holds the top seed but Orchard Lake St. Marys is right behind them. Also the battle of Bougie Lake is also coming down for whoever gets the three seed and who has to play on that Monday against Walled Lake Central. The Eagles have beaten the Knights twice this season but Walled Lake Northern has the third seed. Whoever gets the third seed looks to play Orchard Lake St. Marys while the four seed plays on that Monday and then gets West Bloomfield in the district semifinals. These next few weeks will tell a lot to where these teams are at.



District 26 @ Swartz Creek

OXFORD

Davison

Lapeer

Grand Blanc

Holly

Swartz Creek

 

PROJECTED MATCHUPS:

6. Holly vs 3. Davison

Winner plays 2. OXFORD

 

5. Swartz Creek vs 4. Lapeer

Winner plays 1. Grand Blanc

 

FAVORITE: Grand Blanc

NEXT: Oxford

DARKHORSE: Davison

PLAYER ON SPOT: Alison Hufstedler- Oxford.

UPSET ALERT: Davison

 

ANALYST UPDATE: This is a really tight district for the two seed. Grand Blanc is locked into the top seed but the battle between Oxford and Davison is very interesting. The Cardinals have the three seed at but the Wildcats are ahead of them. Whoever is the three seed will see Holly before having to play the two seed in the district semifinals. Swartz Creek and Lapeer are locked into playing each other with the winner playing the Bobcats in the district. Overall it's going to come down between Davison and Oxford to settle who the two seed will be.

 


District 27 @ Clarkston

AVONDALE

CLARKSTON

LAKE ORION

Waterford

 

PROJECTED MATCHUPS:

4. Waterford vs 1. CLARKSTON

3. LAKE ORION vs 2. AVONDALE

 

FAVORITE: Clarkston

NEXT: Lake Orion

DARKHORSE: Avondale

PLAYER ON SPOT: Charlotte Peplowski-Lake Orion.

UPSET ALERT: Avondale

 

ANALYST UPDATE: The district matchups are pretty much locked into play. Clarkston will see Waterford while Lake Orion will see Avondale in the district semifinals. No real changes are mentioned at this time.

 


District 28 @ Stoney Creek

STONEY CREEK

ROCHESTER

ADAMS

Utica

Utica Eisenhower

Romeo

 

PROJECTED MATCHUPS:

6. Utica vs 3. STONEY CREEK

Winner plays 2. ROCHESTER

 

5. Romeo vs 4. ADAMS

Winner plays 1. Utica Eisenhower

 

FAVORITE: Utica Eisenhower

NEXT: Stoney Creek

DARKHORSE: Rochester

PLAYER ON SPOT: Devyn Raymond- Utica Eisenhower.

UPSET ALERT: Utica Eisenhower


ANALYST UPDATE: This district has a chance for some movement. Utica Eisenhower looks to be locked into the top seed in the district but the Eagles could also be the most vulnerable because of lack of postseason experience and with the majority of their roster being freshman. Stoney Creek has home court and the two seed for now. The Cougars have to be careful of Rochester who is locked into the three seed and could make a move to the two seed if they keep winning. Adams is locked into the four seed which sets them up with Romeo in the first round which would be really interesting. The Falcons would play Utica in the first round if the season ended. Utica Eisenhower is riding with a ton of confidence but the postseason is a different animal and the possibility of seeing Adams who beat them in the first round in overtime is very real at the moment in the district semifinals while Stoney Creek and Rochester would be a really interesting matchup as well in the district semifinals. Everything looks to be coming into play right now.

 

 

District 29 @ Royal Oak

ROYAL OAK

TROY

TROY ATHENS

BERKLEY

Warren Mott

 

PROJECTED MATCHUPS:

5. TROY vs 4. TROY ATHENS

Winner plays 1. BERKLEY

 

3. ROYAL OAK vs 2. Warren Mott

 

FAVORITE: Berkley

NEXT: Royal Oak

DARKHORSE: Warren Mott

PLAYER ON SPOT: Maci Zeiter- Troy.

UPSET ALERT: Warren Mott

 

ANALYST UPDATE: This is starting to get really interesting. Troy Athens and Troy would be playing in the first round with the winner playing Berkley in the district semifinals. Royal Oak and Warren Mott are battling for the two seed which means they would play each other in the district semifinals. The Ravens could sneak up into the two seed if they keep winning. Either way the Bears are locked into the top seed but Royal Oak and Warren Mott have some company awaiting while Troy Athens is more than capable of catching both the Ravens and the Marauders. Troy is locked into the fifth seed. This is not what I would have expected before the season had started.

 


District 60 @ Hazel Park

FERNDALE

FERNDALE UNIVERSITY

Center Line

Madison Heights Lamphere

 

PROJECTED MATCHUPS:

4. Center Line vs 1. FERNDALE

3. FERNDALE UNIVERSITY vs 2. Madison Heights Lamphere

 

FAVORITE: Ferndale

NEXT: Ferndale University

DARKHORSE: Center Line

PLAYER ON SPOT: Annaya Davis- Ferndale.

UPSET ALERT: Ferndale


ANALYST UPDATE: This is shaping up to be a very interesting district. Ferndale has the top seed in this district but the lack of depth will be worth watching. The Eagles would see the winner of Center Line in the district semifinals after Hazel Park dropped out of the postseason. Ferndale University and Madison Heights Lamphere are locked into the two and three seeds at the moment will play in the district semifinals. No real changes to this district at the moment.

 


District 61 @ St. Clair Shores South Lake

HARPER WOODS

Harper Woods Chandler Park

St. Clair Shores South Lake

Warren Regina

Eastpointe

 

PROJECTED MATCHUPS:

5. Eastpointe vs 4. Harper Woods Chandler Park

Winner plays 1. Warren Regina

 

3. HARPER WOODS vs 2. St. Clair Shores South Lake

 

FAVORITE: Warren Regina

NEXT: St. Clair Shores South Lake

DARKHORSE: Harper Woods

PLAYER ON SPOT: Sami Thomas- Warren Regina.

UPSET ALERT: Warren Regina


ANALYST UPDATE: This district could be really interesting. Warren Regina has the top seed in the district and will await Harper Woods Chandler Park or Eastpointe in the district semifinals. Harper Woods and St. Clair Shores South Lake look to be locked into playing each other in the district semifinals. This should be a really interesting district as mentioned with three team possibly having a chance to win this district.



District 62 @ Pontiac Notre Dame Prep

PONTIAC

Pontiac Notre Dame Prep

Birmingham Detroit Country Day

Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook-Kingswood

Macomb Lutheran North


PROJECTED MATCHUPS:

5. PONTIAC vs 4. Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook-Kingswood

Winner plays 1. Birmingham Detroit Country Day

 

3. Pontiac Notre Dame Prep vs 2. Macomb Lutheran North

 

FAVORITE: Birmingham Detroit Country Day

NEXT: Pontiac Notre Dame Prep

DARKHORSE: Macomb Lutheran North

PLAYER ON SPOT: CeCe Arico- Birmingham Detroit Country Day.

UPSET ALERT: Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook-Kingswood


ANALYST UPDATE: Birmingham Detroit Country Day is locked into the top seed in the district and will await Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook-Kingswood or Pontiac in the district semifinals. The Cranes and Phoenix are locked into the four and five seeds although there is an outside chance the Cranes could get the three seed although it's not likely. Pontiac Notre Dame Prep and Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook Kingswood are likely to see each other in the district semifinals. Either way no one is touching the Yellow Jackets in this district.
