Here are the boys basketball districts for 2027. This will be updated very often.
District 21 @ Detroit Cass Tech
HARPER WOODS
Detroit Cass Tech
Detroit Martin Luther King
Hamtramck

TOP PLAYER: Stevie Hall- Detroit Cass Tech
PLAYER ON THE SPOT: Quiency Wright-Hamtramck
WILDCARD: Andre Cast- Hamtramck
FAVORITE: Detroit Cass Tech
UPSET PRONE: Detroit Martin Luther King
MOST DANGEROUS: Hamtramck
EARLY THOUGHTS: This is a very tough district. Detroit Cass Tech is the early favorite with experience, and they have one of the top players in the State coming back. Detroit Martin Luther King should be much improved. Hamtramck should be in the mix. Grosse Pointe North and Grosse Pointe South are very interesting teams. Harper Woods has a new coach but a ton of questions. This should be a very interesting district to watch.
District 23 @ TBD
GROVES
SEAHOLM
SOUTHFIELD ARTS AND TECH
Birmingham Brother Rice
Farmington
North Farmington
PROJECTED MPR: 1. Birmingham Brother Rice, 2. Farmington, 3. North Farmington, 4. Groves, 5. Seaholm, 6. Southfield Arts and Tech.
TOP PLAYER: Myles Turner-Farmington
PLAYER ON THE SPOT: Connor Brown- North Farmington
WILDCARD: CJ Brown-Birmingham Brother Rice
FAVORITE: Birmingham Brother Rice
UPSET PRONE: North Farmington
MOST DANGEROUS: Farmington
EARLY THOUGHTS: This district is different with both Farmington and North Farmington in the Lakes Valley Conference but they are still very dangerous. Birmingham Brother Rice was a final four team last season. Groves, Seaholm, and Southfield Arts and Tech are going to be much improved. Whoever hosts this district will have an advantage that is for sure.
District 24 @ Detroit Renaissance
OAK PARK
BERKLEY
Detroit Renaissance
Detroit University-Detroit Jesuit
Warren Fitzgerald
Detroit Mumford
PROJECTED MPR: 1. Warren Fitzgerald, 2. Detroit Renaissance, 3. Detroit University-Detroit, 4. Detroit Mumford, 5. Berkley, 6. Oak Park.
TOP PLAYER: Quenten Graham- Warren Fitzgerald
PLAYER ON THE SPOT: Clark Langdon- Detroit University Detroit Jesuit
WILDCARD: Drew Sermo- Berkley
FAVORITE: Warren Fitzgerald
UPSET PRONE: Detroit University-Detroit Jesuit
MOST DANGEROUS: Detroit Renaissance
EARLY THOUGHTS: This has the makings of a very tough district. Warren Fitzgerald and Detroit Renaissance have a lot of proven experience coming back. Detroit University-Detroit Jesuit will be another team to watch. Berkley and Oak Park will be competitive. It's going to be tough sledding for the OAA schools.
District 28 @ Utica
ROYAL OAK
TROY
TROY ATHENS
Utica
Utica Ford II
Sterling Heights Stevenson
PROJECTED MPR: 1. Sterling Heights Stevenson, 2. Utica Ford II, 3. Utica, 4. Troy Athens, 5. Troy, 6. Royal Oak.
TOP PLAYER: Alan Spachic-Troy Athens
PLAYER ON THE SPOT: Grant Wilkins-Troy
WILDCARD: Blake Kuiper-Troy
FAVORITE: Sterling Heights Stevenson
UPSET PRONE: Utica Ford II
MOST DANGEROUS: Utica
EARLY THOUGHTS: This has the makings of a very interesting district at Utica which is a very small but historic gym. Utica Ford II and Utica are much improved as is Sterling Heights Stevenson. Troy and Troy Athens will always be in the mix, and they have experience coming back. Royal Oak lost a lot of talent and their head coach and could struggle this season. This looks like it's the Troy schools against Macomb County.
District 29 @ Bloomfield Hills
BLOOMFIELD HILLS
AVONDALE
WEST BLOOMFIELD
Orchard Lake St. Marys
Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook-Kingswood
Walled Lake Central
PROJECTED MPR: 1. Orchard Lake St. Marys, 2. Avondale, 3. Bloomfield Hills, 4. Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook-Kingswood, 5. Walled Lake Central, 6. West Bloomfield.
TOP PLAYER: Carter Canfield-Bloomfield Hills
PLAYER ON THE SPOT: Elijah Hines- Orchard Lake St. Marys
WILDCARD: Qualaeb Ross-Avondale
FAVORITE: Orchard Lake St. Marys
UPSET PRONE: Avondale
MOST DANGEROUS: Bloomfield Hills
EARLY THOUGHTS: This has the makings of a very interesting district. Avondale lost a lot of talent from a team that went to the Final Four last season. Orchard Lake St. Marys should be much better after having a young team last season. Bloomfield Hills should be in the mix with the experience they have coming back. There are questions with Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook Kingaswood and Walled Lake Central along with big questions with West Bloomfield since they do not have a coach yet. Overall, this should be a very interesting district.
District 30 @ Clarkston
CLARKSTON
WATERFORD MOTT
WATERFORD KETTERING
Walled Lake Northern
Holly
Lakeland
PROJECTED MPR: 1. Clarkston, 2. Walled Lake Northern, 3. Lakeland, 4. Waterford Kettering, 5. Waterford Mott, 6. Holly.
TOP PLAYER: Ace Walters-Clarkston
PLAYER ON THE SPOT: Katim Jallow-Waterford Kettering
WILDCARD: Aiden Rose-Clarkston
FAVORITE: Clarkston
UPSET PRONE: Lakeland
MOST DANGEROUS: Walled Lake Northern
EARLY THOUGHTS: Clarkston has home court, a proven experience team that is determined, and everything that lines up in front of them. Walled Lake Northern could give the Wolves fits because of the Negoshians. Waterford Kettering is a dark horse and could be an impact player to watch. Waterford Mott could struggle in this district despite having former Wolves standout Andrew Myers coaching them. Holly could struggle. This has Clarkston written all over it.
District 31 @ Stoney Creek
LAKE ORION
STONEY CREEK
ROCHESTER
ADAMS
Romeo
Utica Eisenhower
PROJECTED MPR: 1. Adams, 2. Rochester, 3. Lake Orion, 4. Stoney Creek, 5. Utica Eisenhower, 6. Romeo.
TOP PLAYER: Cannon Flynn-Adams
PLAYER ON THE SPOT: Nate Tandy-Rochester
WILDCARD: Jackson Hall-Lake Orion
FAVORITE: Adams
UPSET PRONE: Rochester
MOST DANGEROUS: Lake Orion
EARLY THOUGHTS: This is a very competitive district. Adams is the early favorite but Rochester, Stoney Creek, Lake Orion, and Utica Eisenhower will have strong says. Romeo has a new coach but a tough transition period ahead. This should be a fun district to watch.
District 32 @ Davison
OXFORD
Davison
Grand Blanc
Flint Kearsley
Lapeer
PROJECTED MPR: 1. Grand Blanc, 2. Oxford, 3. Davison, 4. Flint Kearsley, 5. Lapeer.
TOP PLAYER: Brody Casper- Oxford
PLAYER ON THE SPOT: Max O'Mara-Grand Blanc
WILDCARD: Grayson Boyle-Oxford
FAVORITE: Grand Blanc
UPSET PRONE: Davison
MOST DANGEROUS: Oxford
EARLY THOUGHTS: Who would have ever thought Oxford would upset Grand Blanc (which had a six straight district win streak until last season) and Davison which they did but can they do it twice??? Grand Blanc has a boatload of experience coming back. Don't know about Flint Kearsley after they lost their head coach. Davison has a new coach in Tyler Thompson. Lapeer could struggle. Oxford is well Oxford. This could be a three or four team district.
District 57 @ Ferndale
FERNDALE
FERNDALE UNIVERSITY
Center Line
Hazel Park
PROJECTED MPR: 1. Ferndale, 2. Hazel Park, 3. Center Line, 4. Ferndale University.
TOP PLAYER: Eden Vinyard-Ferndale
PLAYER ON THE SPOT: Toriano Adams-Ferndale
WILDCARD: Carter Williams- Ferndale
FAVORITE: Ferndale
UPSET PRONE: Hazel Park
MOST DANGEROUS: No One
EARLY THOUGHTS: This has the makings of a Ferndale rout in the district. The Eagles are loaded and talented and look prime to make a deep postseason run. Hazel Park has an outside shot but this looks like this will be the Eagles district to lose.
District 59 @ Pontiac Notre Dame Prep
PONTIAC
Pontiac Notre Dame Prep
Detroit Country Day
Macomb Lutheran North
Madison Heights Lamphere
Warren Michigan Collegiate
PROJECTED MPR: 1. Detroit Country Day, 2. Pontiac, 3. Pontiac Notre Dame Prep, 4. Macomb Lutheran North, 5. Madison Heights Lamphere, 6. Warren Michigan Collegiate.
TOP PLAYER: JJ Claudio-Pontiac
PLAYER ON THE SPOT: Caden Covington-Pontiac
WILDCARD: Christian Cast-Detroit Country Day
FAVORITE: Detroit Country Day
UPSET PRONE: Pontiac
MOST DANGEROUS: Pontiac Notre Dame Prep
EARLY THOUGHTS: The Phoenix were a buzzer beater from winning their district last season falling to Goodrich. They have to see Detroit Country Day along with Notre Dame Prep which are going to be tough. Pontiac should be in the conversation, and they are well coached, but they need to get by the Yellow Jackets and Fighting Irish if they want to win this district.
District 14 @ Northville
Northville
Novi
Novi Detroit Catholic Central
South Lyon
South Lyon East
Walled Lake Western
PROJECTED MPR: 1. Novi Detroit Catholic Central, 2. Walled Lake Western, 3. Northville, 4. Novi, 5. South Lyon East, 6. South Lyon.
TOP PLAYER: Dean Lewis- Walled Lake Northern
PLAYER ON THE SPOT: Isaiah McCree-Novi Detroit Catholic Central
WILDCARD: Ben Snow-Novi
FAVORITE: Novi Detroit Catholic Central
UPSET PRONE: Walled Lake Western
MOST DANGEROUS: Northville
EARLY THOUGHTS: This has the makings of a very interesting district. Novi and Northville are about even. Novi Detroit Catholic Central is well coached and has an experience team. Walled Lake Western has the best player and the South Lyon schools are competitive. This should be a really interesting district to say the least.
District 90 @ Clawson
Clawson
Pontiac Arts and Tech
Auburn Hills Oakland Christian
Rochester Lutheran Northwest
Waterford Oakdale Prep
Royal Oak Shrine
PROJECTED MPR: 1. Pontiac Arts and Tech, 2. Rochester Lutheran Northwest, 3. Royal Oak Shrine, 4. Auburn Hills Oakland Christian, 5. Clawson, 6. Waterford Oakdale Prep.
TOP PLAYER: Lewis Lovejoy-Pontiac Arts and Tech
PLAYER ON THE SPOT: Sherrod Magee-Pontiac Arts and Tech
WILDCARD: Colton Moats-Clawson
FAVORITE: Pontiac Arts and Tech
UPSET PRONE: Royal Oak Shrine
MOST DANGEROUS: Rochester Lutheran Northwest
EARLY THOUGHTS: It's going to be a tall order for Clawson in this district. Pontiac Arts and Tech was a final four team last season and Royal Oak Shrine has a new coach. Lutheran Northwest is always tough under Coach Mike Griffin. This should be a very interesting district to say the least.
