Boys Basketball Districts-2027

Written Monday June 8th at 11:53 AM

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

Grosse Pointe North

Grosse Pointe South

PROJECTED MPR: 1. Detroit Cass Tech, 2. Hamtramck, 3. Grosse Pointe South, 4. Detroit Martin Luther King, 5. Grosse Pointe North, 6. Harper Woods.

TOP PLAYER: Stevie Hall- Detroit Cass Tech

PLAYER ON THE SPOT: Quincy Wright- Hamtramck

WILDCARD: Andre Cast- Hamtramck

FAVORITE: Detroit Cass Tech

UPSET PRONE: Grosse Pointe South

MOST DANGEROUS: Hamtramck

FIRST THOUGHTS: This is a very tough district on paper. 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 with their balance and experience. Grosse Pointe North and Grosse Pointe South are very interesting teams. Harper Woods has a new coach in former Warren Lincoln assistant Stepfon Moore but there are a ton of questions that Moore needs to address when it comes to program strength. This should be a very interesting district to watch.

EARLY MPR EXPLANATION: This was hard to figure the MPR because three teams have a legit shot. Detroit Cass Tech has the best player and proven experience which is why I have them the top seed. Hamtramck has a lot of experience coming back which is why I have them the two seed because of conference schedule. Grosse Pointe South should be solid which is why I have them as the three seed. Four through six was interchangeable. I felt familiarity should help Detroit Martin Luther King which is why I have them as the four seed over Grosse Pointe North. Harper Woods has a new coach with a ton of questions which is why I have them as the sixth seed. I think these seeds are very reasonable for now.

District 23 @ TBD

GROVES

SEAHOLM

SOUTHFIELD ARTS AND TECH

Birmingham Brother Rice

Farmington

North Farmington

PROJECTED MPR: 1. North Farmington, 2. Birmingham Brother Rice, 3. Groves, 4. Seaholm, 5. Farmington, 6. Southfield Arts and Tech. 

TOP PLAYER: Connor Brown- North Farmington

PLAYER ON THE SPOT: CJ Brown- Birmingham Brother Rice 

WILDCARD: Drew Sermo- Berkley

FAVORITE: Birmingham Brother Rice

UPSET PRONE: North Farmington

MOST DANGEROUS: Seaholm

FIRST THOUGHTS: This district feels different, but it has the same OAA feeling. Farmington and North Farmington are no longer in the OAA as they are now in the Lakes Valley Conference, but they are still very dangerous with both teams bringing OAA experience into their new league. Birmingham Brother Rice was a final four team falling 55-52 to East Lansing last season, but they have experienced some setbacks when it comes to transfers leaving their program. Groves, Seaholm, and Southfield Arts and Tech should be much improved, and each have shown promise this summer for Coaches Marc West, Spenser Adams, and Josh Lyle respectively. Whoever hosts this district should have an advantage that is for sure.

EARLY MPR EXPLANATION: This was a tough district to seed because there is a ton of parity. Birmingham Brother Rice went to the Final Four last season but recent losses of two of their better players to transfer along with losing a strong senior class is going to be tough to replace. North Farmington is in this district which means an aggressive defensive system from Coach Pete Mantyla. I have the Raiders as the top seed in this district because of the Warriors recent transfers leaving the program. The three through five seeds were really hard to figure out. Groves and Seaholm should be much improved. I felt playing in the Red has its advantages, but Groves plays Seaholm in the regular season which could determine the three seed, the Falcons playing in the Red has them in the three seed for the moment. The Maples are going to be very good as well and could get the three seed Farmington has some questions which is why I have the Falcons as the five seed. Southfield Arts and Tech despite being improved looks like they could be the sixth seed, but they can move up as well. It's a hard district to seed because of parity.

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. Oak Park, 6. Berkley.

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

FIRST THOUGHTS: This has the makings of a very tough district on paper, but it has yet to remain to be seen on the court. Warren Fitzgerald and Detroit Renaissance have a lot of proven experience coming back which if everything go right should be a very interesting district final. Detroit University-Detroit Jesuit should be another team to watch after really struggling last season. Detroit Mumford be very interesting with everything surrounding their program. The Mustangs have a new coach in former Detroit Fredrick Douglass and Wayne Memorial Coach Nkwane Young. Berkley and Oak Park should be competitive for Coaches James McCulloh and Durrand Sheppard. It's going to be tough sledding for the OAA schools.

EARLY MPR EXPLANATION: This is a very interesting district to seed. I think Warren Fitzgerald and Detroit Renaissance are the two top teams in this district. I figured with the Spartans having their top player coming back that it seems reasonable to seed Warren Fitzgerald as the top seed because of their top player. The Phoenix should be fine with the two seed, but they are more than capable of getting the top seed. I do not trust Detroit University-Detroit Jesuit, they were really bad last season. I thought about switching Detroit Mumford, Oak Park and the Cubs but the Mustangs are going through a coaching transition so I gave the three seed to the Cubs for now however Detroit Mumford could pass them in future writings along with the Knights. Berkley looks locked into the sixth seed, but they could move up. This looks like a two-team district but three through six could be interchangeable.

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 Spahic- 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

FIRST THOUGHTS: This has the makings of a very interesting district at Utica which is a very small but historic gym. Utica Ford II looks much improved along with Sterling Heights Stevenson. Utica was very consistent last season. Troy has a ton of proven experience coming back for hall of fame Coach Gary Fralick. Troy Athens should be in the mix, and they have experience coming back for Coach Mitchell Vercellino. Royal Oak lost a lot of talent and their head coach and could struggle under new coach Jake Blancher this season. It looks like Macomb County could be in serious contention, but this could also be a five-team district as well.

EARLY MPR EXPLANATION: This was a tough district to seed which makes it fun to figure it out. I thought of putting Sterling Heights Stevenson as the top seed as the Titans have a lot of proven talent coming back. Utica Ford II has looked much improved this summer which makes the Falcons very interesting to watch, their summer performance has them as the two seed at the moment. Utica is much improved, but they can move up and possibly get the top seed however they are the three seed at the moment. Troy Athens has the best player in the district but supporting cast concerns has me concerned which is why I have the Red Hawks as the four seed. Troy should be in the conversation for the top seed plus they have a hall of fame coach in Gary Fralick but felt the five seed might be best especially with their depth. Royal Oak lost a ton of talent along with their best player transferring out of state and they have a new coach which is why they are the sixth seed. Five teams have a shot to win this district.

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. Bloomfield Hills, 3. Avondale, 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: Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook-Kingswood

MOST DANGEROUS: Bloomfield Hills

FIRST THOUGHTS: This has the makings of a district that could have a ton of storylines. Avondale lost a lot of proven talent and an assistant in Steve Laidlaw who is the new boys coach at Goodrich from a team that went to the Final Four last season, but Coach Aaron Fox knows how to reload which should help. Orchard Lake St. Marys should be much better for Coach Todd Colvert after having a young team and getting to the district finals falling 39-36 to West Bloomfield last season. Bloomfield Hills should be in the mix with the experience they have coming back for Coach Brian Canfield along with having home court. There are questions surrounding Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook-Kingswood despite getting a transfer from Birmingham Brother Rice and getting experience playing in Division One last season. There are a ton of questions Walled Lake Central after they lost a ton of experience. There are bigger questions with West Bloomfield since they do not have a coach yet. Overall, this should be a very interesting district.

EARLY MPR EXPLANATION: This could be a very tough district. Orchard Lake St. Marys looks primed to have a bounce back year with a lot of proven experience coming back which is why I have them as the top seed. Bloomfield Hills and Avondale were hard to figure out. The Yellow Jackets are in the Red while the Black Hawks are in the White. I felt with Bloomfield Hills experience and home court it seemed reasonable to put Bloomfield Hills as the two seed and Avondale as the three seed despite being in different divisions. Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook-Kingswood has a really good player, and they were the top seed in their district last season, but I felt the three above them are better teams so that's why they are the four seed. There are a ton of questions with Walled Lake Central, and they could struggle which is why they are the five seed. West Bloomfield looks like they are in deep trouble without a new coach and playing in the Red it could be very tough which is why I have them as the sixth seed. This should be interesting to watch during the season.

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 Mott, 5. Holly, 6. Waterford Kettering.

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

FIRST THOUGHTS: The magic and ora of the iconic great Dan Fife might have made this district possible in what is the best-case scenario for Clarkston who doesn't have to deal with Avondale or Lake Orion in a district. The Wolves have home court, a proven experience team which is determined, and everything lines up in front of them for Coach Tim Waslik. Walled Lake Northern could give the Wolves fits because of the Negoshians (Coach Ryan Negoshian and his father the legendary former North Farmington Coach Tom Negoshian) but it doesn't look likely at the time being. Waterford Kettering should be a dark horse and could be an impact team with an emerging star along with an upstart coach in Will Howard to watch. Waterford Mott could struggle in this district despite having former Wolves standout Andrew Myers coaching them. Holly has been up and down lately this summer but it's Coach Steve DeHart and he's one of the best in the game. This district has Clarkston written all over it.

EARLY MPR EXPLANATION: When this district came out, I talked to my padawan about this district before school was let out for the summer, she couldn't believe how easy Clarkston's path looks as with a lot of others who have seen this district. The Wolves have home court and a lot of proven talent coming back. It would be a massive shock to the system if Clarkston did not get the top seed in this district. Walled Lake Northern looks locked to get the two seed because of the Negoshians. Three through five was tough to figure out, I went with Lakeland because of past experience. Waterford Mott could really struggle but they have a new coach in former Clarkston standout Andrew Myers. Holly should be much improved under Coach Steve DeHart. I have the Corsairs as the four seed while the Bronchos as the five seed. Waterford Kettering should be very competitive but seeing their summer scores lately they look locked as the sixth seed but they are more than capable of moving to the three seed. This is the Wolves district to lose, if they were to get upset it would be a major shock to the system.

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: Nolan Harbston- Utica Eisenhower

FAVORITE: Adams

UPSET PRONE: Rochester

MOST DANGEROUS: Lake Orion

FIRST THOUGHTS: This should be a very competitive district which any team can win this district. Adams is the early favorite because of proven experience, playing in the Red, and they are well coached under Coach Isiah Novak. The Highlanders got to the regional finals falling 53-36 to Avondale last season. Rochester lost a ton of proven experience from a team that went 22-0 until they fell 39-38 to Adams in the district finals last season. The Falcons still have program strength coming back for Coach Nick Evola. Stoney Creek had a bounce back year winning 12 games along with a 66-40 win over Romeo in the first round falling 37-33 to Adams in the district semifinals last season. The Cougars have home court and proven experience for Coach Marko Tomich. Lake Orion is coming off a very tough 71-48 loss to Avondale in the district semifinals has a very strong senior class coming back for Coach Jose Andrades and they see everyone in this district at least once in the regular season. Utica Eisenhower should be much better after winning six games in an injury riddled year for Coach Anthony Muscat. Romeo has a new coach but a tough transition period ahead. This should be a fun district to watch.

EARLY MPR EXPLANATION: This was a very tough district to figure out. Adams should be the top seed. The Highlanders have the top player, and they play in the Red but playing in the Red doesn't always guarantee getting the top seed in the district. Rochester went 22-0 and played in the White. They had the top seed but lost to Adams in the district finals. Felt the Falcons have a chip on their shoulder but felt it was tight between them and Lake Orion but the Falcons experience in the interior has them as the two seed. Lake Orion is the most dangerous because they see everyone in this district at least once. It was tight between the Dragons, Utica Eisenhower, and Stoney Creek but I felt the Dragons should get the three seed based on the style they play with while the Cougars get the four seed, and the Eagles the five seed. Romeo has a new coach and a transition period ahead which is why I have them as the sixth seed. This should be a fun district to watch. Anyone can win this district. 

District 32 @ Davison

OXFORD

Davison

Grand Blanc

Flint Kearsley

Lapeer

PROJECTED MPR: 1. Grand Blanc, 2. Flint Kearsley, 3. Oxford, 4. Davison, 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: Oxford

MOST DANGEROUS: Flint Kearsley

FIRST THOUGHTS: This should be a very interesting district like it was at Oxford last season. No one would have thought with the season Grand Blanc was having (won 17 games) but they were shocked falling 45-43 to Oxford in the district semifinals (which had a six straight district crown win streak until last season.) The Wildcats went onto beat Davison in the district finals 56-52 but fell to Adams 46-43 in a very competitive regional semifinal. Grand Blanc has a ton of proven experience coming back in their final year in the Saginaw Valley League for Coach Doreace Martin. Flint Kearsley lost their head coach to Okemos this offseason but made a huge hire in former Flint Beecher Coach and Michigan State standout Marquese Gray as their head coach. Gray led Flint Beecher to the 2023 Class C State Crown and has a history turning programs around. The Hornets went 12-11 falling to Davison in the district semifinals in double overtime last season. Gray is a big addition for Flint Kearsley, but he did mention to WJRT ABC-12 that Rome wasn't built overnight which it will take time for the Hornets to adjust to the Hornets and Gray to the players. Davison has a new coach in Tyler Thompson who is in their final year in the Saginaw Valley League, but the Cardinals have been competitive this summer while going through their own transition period. Lapeer could struggle in this district. Oxford is well Oxford and they are well coached under Coach Joe Fedorchik. The Bobcats are the early favorites, but this could be a four-team district.

EARLY MPR EXPLANATON: The seeds were interesting to project. Grand Blanc should be locked into the top seed and Lapeer as the five seed. Two through four were hard to project. Oxford has the talent to be competitive but it's interesting seeing what is going on at Davison. The Cardinals lost two key pieces and has a new coach in Tyler Thompson. I thought it over between the Wildcats and Davison for the three seed and felt that Oxford has more proven talent coming back compared to the Cardinals who has to go through a transition period, I just felt more comfortable putting Oxford as the three seed and Davison as the four seed. Flint Kearsley is very interesting. Before the hire of Marquese Gray, I had the Hornets as the three seed but with his arrival Flint Kearsley moves up to the two seed just because of him. It will be very interesting to see what happens with this 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: Xavier Vinyard- Ferndale

FAVORITE: Ferndale

UPSET PRONE: Center Line

MOST DANGEROUS: Hazel Park

FIRST THOUGHTS: This has the makings of Ferndale easily winning this district. I'm a bit surprised that this is a four team instead of a five or six team district like other districts are but that could change with the MHSAA moving schools in the past pending on location. The Eagles are loaded and have home court under Coach Juan Rickman. Hazel Park won 15 games last season under former Ferndale University Coach Josh Nicks and should be competitive. Ferndale University should be competitive under Coach Anton Bradford. Center Line comes from Division Two to Division One and should be competitive despite some questions for Coach Derrick Walton. This looks like this will be Ferndale's district to lose.

EARLY MPR EXPLANATION: This district kind of reminds me of the Clarkston district with Ferndale getting the top seed along with proven experience and home court. Hazel Park and Center Line should battle for the two and three seeds. I felt the Vikings schedule gives them an edge for the two seed. The Panthers should get the three seed. Ferndale University should be much improved and are more than capable of getting the two seed but for now this district is Ferndale's to lose.

District 59 @ Pontiac Notre Dame Prep

PONTIAC

Pontiac Notre Dame Prep

Birmingham Detroit Country Day

Macomb Lutheran North

Madison Heights Lamphere

Warren Michigan Collegiate

PROJECTED MPR: 1. Birmingham 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- Birmingham Detroit Country Day

FAVORITE: Birmingham Detroit Country Day

UPSET PRONE: Pontiac

MOST DANGEROUS: Pontiac Notre Dame Prep

FIRST THOUGHTS: The Phoenix were a buzzer beater from winning their first district since 2019 falling 57-55 to Goodrich in double overtime last season. Pontiac will get to rekindle some rivalries in the postseason. These two city rivals are no strangers to one another in the postseason. The Fighting Irish are well coached under Coach Andy Durkin. The Phoenix won 62-55 in the district semifinals at Goodrich. Pontiac Notre Dame Prep won 55-52 two years ago at Sy Green Gym in the district finals, but the Fighting Irish aren't the only rivals that Pontiac might have to deal with. It's likely that the Phoenix will have to see Birmingham Detroit Country Day down the line if they want to win this district. The Yellow Jackets are a proven powerhouse in the State and just recently joined the Catholic League. Birmingham Detroit Country Day has been everywhere in the postseason, but Pontiac won 63-59 in overtime two years ago over the Yellow Jackets at Sy Green Gym. The Phoenix are well coached under Coach Dion Harris and should be the favorite in the Blue. This district is going to be a challenge that is for sure for Pontiac with Pontiac Notre Dame Prep and especially Birmingham Detroit Country Day in this district. I don't see Madison Heights Lamphere, Macomb Lutheran North, and Warren Michigan Collegiate touching the top three in this district but that could change.

EARLY MPR EXPLANATION: This was an interesting district to really figure out based on seeding. Birmingham Detroit Country Day and Pontiac were the two seeds that I really thought hard about but felt with the Yellow Jackets moving to the Catholic League being a big difference and they have a ton of proven talent coming back, I really felt that Birmingham Detroit Country Day should get the top seed over the Phoenix but Pontiac is more than capable of getting the top seed in this district. I felt Pontiac Notre Dame Prep is clearly the three seed. Madison Heights Lamphere, Warren Michigan Collegiate, and Macomb Lutheran North were interchangeable with seeds four through six. I think with the experience the Crusaders have they should get the four seed while the Rams get the five seed, and Warren Michigan Collegiate the sixth seed. This looks like it's a three-team district for sure.

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. South Lyon East, 4. Northville, 5. Novi, 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

FIRST THOUGHTS: This has the makings of a very interesting district after the district was at Novi Detroit Catholic Central last season it has been moved to Northville this season. Novi and Northville are about even when it comes to program strength and even based on strength under Coaches Sean Turner and Chris Housey respectively in their final seasons in the Kensington Lakes Activates Association. Novi Detroit Catholic Central is well coached and experienced team. The Shamrocks won the district (won 65-43 over South Lyon East) and made to the regional semifinals falling 46-44 on a buzzer beater to Ann Arbor Pioneer last season under former Grand Blanc Coach Tory Jackson. Walled Lake Western has the best player in the district and is well coached under former Lake Orion alumni Dwayne Graves. The South Lyon schools are very competitive especially South Lyon East after getting to the district finals last season. This should be a really interesting district to say the least.

EARLY MPR EXPLANATION: This should be a really interesting district in northern Wayne County. Novi Detroit Catholic Central has a lot of proven talent coming back which is why I felt the Shamrocks should be locked into the top seed. Walled Lake Western has the best player in the district which is a reason I felt the Warriors should be the two seed in this district over the Cougars. I think South Lyon East should be the three seed in this district. Novi and Northville are about even and also almost interchangeable. I felt the Mustangs are a little bit more suited for the four seed than the Wildcats but that could change. South Lyon looks locked for the sixth seed. Overall, this district looks like it's the Shamrocks to lose.

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

FIRST THOUGHTS: It's going to be a tall order for Clawson to compete in this district. The Trojans had an interim coach in Tanner Beachnau but was given the permanent role in the offseason. Clawson will leave the Macomb Area Conference next season. Pontiac Arts and Tech was a final four team last season and has arguably the two best players back in the district. Royal Oak Shrine has a new coach but with a ton of questions. Lutheran Northwest is always tough under Coach Mike Griffin. Auburn Hills Oakland Christian is up and down and has some questions. Waterford Oakdale Prep has been up and down. This should be a very interesting district to say the least.

EARLY MPR EXPLANATION: This district was pretty simple to figure out. Pontiac Arts and Tech have a ton of proven experience after getting to the Division Three State title game last season. Pontiac Arts and Tech should have the top seed in this district based on proven experience. I felt comfortable with Rochester Lutheran Northwest getting the two seed, they are well coached under former Lake Orion Girls Coach Mike Griffin. Royal Oak Shrine has a new coach and new system. I felt they should get the three seed for now. I was torn between Auburn Hills Oakland Christian and Clawson for the four seed but felt that the Lancers should get the four because of their schedule. Waterford Oakdale Prep looks locked for the sixth seed in this district. This looks like it's Pontiac Arts and Tech's district to lose.
