Here are the volleyball districts released by the MHSAA. This will be updated.

District 7 @ Bloomfield Hills

5. North Farmington vs 4. WATERFORD MOTT

WATERFORD MOTT/North Farmington vs. 1. BLOOMFIELD HILLS

3. WEST BLOOMFIELD vs 2. Orchard Lake St. Mary's

PROJECTED MPR: 1. Bloomfield Hills, 2. Orchard Lake St. Marys, 3. West Bloomfied, 4. Waterford Mott, 5. North Farmington

CURRENT THOUGHTS: This is looking like it will be Bloomfield Hills against Orchard Lake St. Marys in the district final which would be really interesting. West Bloomfield and Waterford Mott have been battling for the three seed. I'm really surprised and disappointed with North Farmington that they have struggled in the Lakes Valley Conference, a lot of changes here from three to five.

District 8 @ Lake Orion

5. WATERFORD KETTERING vs 4. Lapeer

Lapeer/WATERFORD KETTERING vs. 1. CLARKSTON

3. LAKE ORION vs. 2. OXFORD

PROJECTED MPR: 1. Clarkston, 2. Lake Orion, 3. Oxford, 4. Lapeer, 5. Waterford Kettering

CURRENT THOUGHTS: This should be a very competitive district. There are four teams have a shot to win this district. Oxford went to the State quarters and beat Clarkston and Lake Orion in the district last season. Clarkston, Oxford, Lake Orion, and Lapeer should have strong says but early it has to be Clarkston because of experience. No changes although the Dragons and Wildcats are battling for the two and three seeds, they will eventually play each other in the district semifinals anyway.

District 26 @ Berkley

5. ROYAL OAK vs 4. SEAHOLM

6. OAK PARK vs 3. GROVES

SEAHOLM/ROYAL OAK vs. 1. Birmingham Marian

GROVES/OAK PARK vs. 2. BERKLEY

PROJECTED MPR: 1. Birmingham Marian, 2. Groves, 3. Berkley, 4. Seaholm, 5. Royal Oak, 6. Oak Park

CURRENT THOUGHTS: Birmingham Marian is loaded with experience and is the expected favorite. Groves and Berkley could contend but the Mustangs have the experience to stand out. This is going as I have expected with the Bears and Falcons battling for the two and three seeds, the difference is having to play the first night while the other has to wait until the district semifinals.

District 25 @ Farmington Hills Mercy

5. Farmington vs 4. Livonia Stevenson

6. SOUTHFIELD ARTS AND TECH vs 3. Redford Thurston

Livonia Stevenson/Farmington vs. 1. Farmington Hills Mercy

Redford Thurston/SOUTHFIELD ARTS AND TECH vs. 2. Novi

PROJECTED MPR: 1. Farmington Hills Mercy, 2. Novi, 3. Redford Thurston, 4. Livonia Stevenson, 5. Farmington, 6. Southfield Arts and Tech.

CURRENT THOUGHTS: This is looking like this will be a three-team district with Farmington Hills Mercy, Novi, and Redford Thurston. Redford Thurston has been a surprise, I was thinking it would had been Livonia Stevenson but the Spartans have been struggling. I still think the two best teams are the Wildcats and Marlins, that could be a five game set despite Farmington Hills Mercy being the defending champs and have home court in this district.

District 28 @ Grosse Pointe North

5. HARPER WOODS vs 4. Warren Woods Tower

6. Roseville vs 3. Grosse Pointe South

Warren Woods Tower/HARPER WOODS vs. 1. Grosse Pointe North

Grosse Pointe South/Roseville vs. 2. St. Clair Shores Lakeview

PROJECTED MPR: 1. St. Clair Shores Lakeview, 2. Grosse Pointe North, 3. Grosse Pointe South, 4. Warren Woods Tower, 5. Harper Woods, 6. Roseville

CURRENT THOUGHTS: I've been surprised with how this district is shaping up. Grosse Pointe North has been a surprise as has Grosse Pointe South. I thought that St. Clair Shores Lakeview would run away with this district but it has not been the case. Four through six has been what I've expected but now this looks like it will be a three team district.

District 29 @ Troy

5. AVONDALE vs. 4. TROY

6. ROCHESTER vs 3. ADAMS

AVONDALE/TROY vs. 1. STONEY CREEK

ADAMS/ROCHESTER vs. 2. Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook-Kingswood

PROJECTED MPR: 1. Stoney Creek, 2. Adams, 3. Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook-Kingswood, 4. Troy, 5. Avondale, 6. Rochester.

CURRENT THOUGHTS: There are a ton of positioning going on in this district. I've been really disappointed with Rochester, I thought they would perform better than what they are showing. Adams and Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook-Kingswood looks like that could go down toward the end of the month based on the MPR as they battle for the two seed. Avondale and Troy are another one to watch despite likely having to face each other. Stoney Creek is locked as the top seed and they should be the favorite in this district.

District 30 @ Troy Athens

5. Sterling Heights vs. 4. Sterling Heights

Sterling Heights/Sterling Heights Stevenson vs. 1. TROY ATHENS

3. Utica Henry Ford II vs. 2. Utica

PROJECTED MPR: 1. Troy Athens, 2. Utica, 3. Utica Henry Ford II, 4. Sterling Heights, 5. Sterling Heights Stevenson.

CURRENT THOUGHTS: Troy Athens is an honorary member of the Macomb Area Conference. Utica should be the Red Hawks toughest challenger in the district and they could meet in the district finals. Sterling Heights and Utica Henry Ford II are battling for the three seed with the winner likely getting Utica while the loser has to play first night and then play Troy Athens in the district semifinals. Troy Athens is in a great spot right now barring any upsets.

District 20 @ Canton

5. Canton vs. 4. Livonia Churchill

6. Westland John Glenn vs 3. Plymouth

Canton/Livonia Churchill vs. 1. Northville

Plymouth/Westland John Glenn vs. 2. Salem

PROJECTED MPR: 1. Northville, 2. Salem, 3. Plymouth, 4. Livonia Churchill, 5. Canton, 6. Westland John Glenn.

CURRENT THOUGHTS: This is a very brutal district and hard to project. Five teams are above 500 and have an over 520 MPR. Northville is the top seed but they could see Canton or Livonia Churchill in the district semifinals would be nuts. Plymouth and Salem in the district semifinals would also be nuts as well. This is going to be an insanely competitive district to say the least. The Mustangs are favored but they will need to play their best if they want to win this district.

District 64 @ Ferndale

5. FERNDALE UNIVERSITY vs 4. Hazel Park

Hazel Park/FERNDALE UNIVERSITY vs. 1. FERNDALE

3. Detroit Central vs 2. Detroit Pershing

PROJECTED MPR: 1. Ferndale, 2. Detroit Pershing, 3. Detroit Central, 4. Hazel Park, 5. Ferndale University.

CURRENT THOUGHTS: This is not a very strong district on paper. Ferndale looks primed to make another deep run like they did when they got to the State Quarterfinals last season. This looks very primed for the Eagles to make more noise in the postseason.

District 62 @ Macomb Lutheran North

5. PONTIAC vs 4. Madison Heights Lamphere

Madison Heights Lamphere/PONTIAC vs. 1. Macomb Lutheran North

3. Armada vs 2. Pontiac Notre Dame Prep

PROJECTED MPR: 1. Macomb Lutheran North, 2. Pontiac Notre Dame Prep, 3. Armada, 4. Madison Heights Lamphere, 5. Pontiac

CURRENT THOUGHTS: This district has had a lot of shocks and twists and turns. Macomb Lutheran North has been dominant and is rolling right now. Pontiac Notre Dame Prep is locked into the two seed despite playing a tough schedule. Armada and Madison Heights Lamphere are battling to see who gets the three seed and not having to play in the first round. This district should come down to Pontiac Notre Dame Prep or Macomb Lutheran North winning this district.

District 87 @ Clawson

5. Madison Heights Madison vs. 4. Warren Michigan Collegiate

6. Bloomfield Hills Roeper vs 3. Clawson

Madison/Warren Michigan Collegiate vs. 1. Madison Heights Bishop Foley

Clawson/Roeper vs. 2. Rochester Lutheran Northwest

PROJECTED MPR: 1. Madison Heights Bishop Foley, 2. Rochester Lutheran Northwest, 3. Clawson, 4. Warren Michigan Collegiate, 5. Madison Heights Madison 6. Bloomfield Hills Roeper

CURRENT THOUGHTS: This district is competitive and really no changes to update in this district. I still think that three teams have a shot to win this district in Madison Heights Bishop Foley, Clawson, and Rochester Lutheran Northwest. It should be interesting to say the least.

District 4 @ Flint Kearsley

5. Flint Kearsley vs 4. Flint Carman Ainsworth

6. Swartz Creek vs 3. Grand Blanc

Flint Carman Ainsworth/Flint Kearsley vs. 1. Flushing

Grand Blanc/Swartz Creek vs. 2. Davison

PROJECTED MPR: 1. Flushing, 2. Davison, 3. Grand Blanc, 4. Swartz Creek, 5. Flint Kearsley, 6. Flint Carman Ainsworth.

CURRENT THOUGHTS: This is a very interesting district. Davison and Flushing should battle for the district crown. Grand Blanc is a wildcard and a team to watch. The Cardinals won the district last season, but the Raiders should be a team to watch. This is going to what I've expected thus far. Flushing and Davison should battle it out in the district finals but the Bobcats aren't that far behind.
