C vs. 1 seed

 

Six Team District

A vs. B (winner plays 2 seed)

C vs. D (winner plays 1 seed)

 

District 22 @ Orchard Lake St. Mary's 

Walled Lake Central vs. Walled Lake Western

Orchard Lake St. Mary's vs. WEST BLOOMFIELD

Walled Lake Central/Walled Lake Western vs. NORTH FARMINGTON

 

THOUGHTS: This district looks like it is the Eaglets district to lose. I don't see anyone touching Orchard Lake St. Marys.

PICK: Orchard Lake St. Marys over North Farmington 

 

District 24 @ Livonia Stevenson 

FARMINGTON vs. Livonia Churchill

Livonia Stevenson vs. Redford Thurston

FARMINGTON/Livonia Churchill vs. Farmington Hills Mercy

Livonia Stevenson/Redford Thurston vs. Novi

 

THOUGHTS: This has three teams that have shots to win this district. I think the Marlins have the edge but the Wildcats will be there. Also watch for the Spartans they could pose an upset.

PICK: Novi over Farmington Hills Mercy

 

District 26 @ Southfield Arts and Technology 

BERKLEY vs. ROYAL OAK

SOUTHFIELD ARTS AND TECHNOLOGY vs. GROVES

BERKLEY/ROYAL OAK vs. OAK PARK

 

THOUGHTS: This a wide open district, I think that the Falcons have the edge but don't count out the Ravens or Bears. Groves is early favorite to win this district.

PICK: Groves over Berkley 

 

District 27 @ Troy Athens

SEAHOLM vs. Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook Kingswood

TROY vs. TROY ATHENS

SEAHOLM/Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook Kingswood vs. Birmingham Marian

TROY/TROY ATHENS vs. BLOOMFIELD HILLS

 

THOUGHTS: This is setting up to be the likely Miss Volleyball candidate against a proven powerhouse that has been there and done. Don't really see anyone touching the Black Hawks or the Mustangs in this district.

PICK: Birmingham Marian over Bloomfield Hills

 

District 29 @ Oxford

LAKE ORION vs. WATERFORD KETTERING

WATERFORD MOTT vs. CLARKSTON

LAKE ORION/WATERFORD KETTERING vs. OXFORD

 

THOUGHTS: This is clearly going to be Dragons and Wolves in the district finals. I don't know how the Wildcats got the two seed despite Lake Orion playing a brutal schedule and is in the Red. Oxford was in the White but things are setting up to be Lake Orion and Clarkston with the Wolves having an edge because of experience.

PICK: Clarkston over Lake Orion 

 

District 30 @ Avondale

AVONDALE vs. ROCHESTER

ADAMS vs. STONEY CREEK

AVONDALE/ROCHESTER vs. Utica Eisenhower

ADAMS/STONEY CREEK vs. Romeo

 

THOUGHTS: This should be a very tough district. I think the Eagles have the early edge but keep an eye on the Cougars and the Bulldogs. The Highlanders are the wildcard. End of the day it's Utica Eisenhower's district to lose.

PICK: Utica Eisenhower over Stoney Creek

 

District 55 @ Detroit Osborn

Detroit Denby at Detroit East English

Detroit Osborn vs. Detroit Southeastern

Detroit Denby/Detroit East English vs. Harper Woods Chandler Park Academy

Detroit Osborn/Detroit Southeastern vs. HARPER WOODS

 

THOUGHTS: This is a very interesting district, I see either Harper Woods or Chandler Park winning this district, I don't see really anyone else that threatens in this district. This could be the Pioneers best chance to win this district. 

PICK: Harper Woods over Harper Woods Chandler Park Academy

 

District 58 @ Macomb Lutheran North

Almont vs. Armada

PONTIAC vs. Pontiac Notre Dame Prep

Almont/Armada vs. Macomb Lutheran North

 

THOUGHTS: Trust in the Irish to win this district, they should have no issues in this district.

PICK: Pontiac Notre Dame Prep over Macomb Lutheran North
