Written Monday September 7th at 5:04 PM

Here are the Week Two Thoughts.

Oxford: The Wildcats had no trouble with Troy Athens winning 49-17 on Thursday night. Oxford looks very good and impressive on both sides of the football. They have a big one looming with Lake Orion in their home opener at Wildcat Stadium next week.

Troy Athens: The Red Hawks are going through a tough stretch falling 49-17 to Oxford on Thursday night. Troy Athens is a very young team after losing a lot from last season. They have Clarkston looming next week.

West Bloomfield: The Lakers had an interesting fourth quarter on Thursday night with Troy winning 33-21. The Colts scored 14 points and had a chance to make it closer, but they got an interception sealing their win. There are concerns looming for Coach Zach Hilbers team. The Lakers have Adams looming next week.

Troy: The Colts had a strong fourth quarter despite falling 33-21 to West Bloomfield on Thursday night. The fourth quarter is something to build on if your Coach Chris Frasier. Troy has Stoney Creek looming next week.

Lake Orion: The Dragons got a big win on Thursday night winning 44-3 over Bloomfield Hills on Thursday night. Lake Orion was sharp offensively scoring 30 points in the first half. The big part for Coach Chris Bell and the Dragons was that they got their reserves critical snaps which is a big deal in building depth. Lake Orion has a big game awaiting them when they head to Oxford next week.

Bloomfield Hills: It was a rough night for the Black Hawks on Thursday night falling 44-3 to Lake Orion. Bloomfield Hills lost two key players to injury and it's unknown if they will play next week against Rochester. The Black Hawks are a different team than last season, they will be fine going forward.

Adams: The Highlanders have some concerns heading into Red play despite winning 21-19 over Rochester on Thursday night. Lorenzo Salazar had a huge touchdown giving the Highlanders the lead and the defense had to hold on by stopping a two-point conversion and recovering the onside kick. Adams has a big test with West Bloomfield looming next week.

Rochester: The Falcons had a 13-0 halftime lead only to see it slip away as Adams scored 21 unanswered points. Rochester got a late touchdown but couldn't get the two-point conversion to tie the game or the onside kick in a 21-19 loss on Thursday night. It was a disappointing night for the Falcons but they will be fine going forward. They have Bloomfield Hills looming next week.

Clarkston: The Wolves had a home game after Stoney Creek had a power outage after two rounds of severe thunderstorms came through the area on Thursday. Clarkston had a hard fought 14-7 win over the Cougars on Thursday night. The Wolves defense was the story holding a high-octane Cougars offense to seven points. Clarkston has Troy Athens looming next week.

Stoney Creek: The Cougars had a tough 14-7 loss to Clarkston on Thursday night. The power outage did not help things with the Cougars. Stoney Creek will be fine going forward. They have Troy looming next week.

Waterford Mott: The Corsairs are getting used to OAA life with a 35-14 win over Avondale on Thursday night. Waterford Mott's offense looks to be on sync after scoring 22 second half points in their win over Troy Athens last week. The defense is struggling a little bit. The Corsairs have Seaholm looming next week.

Avondale: The Yellow Jackets made some progress despite falling 35-14 to Waterford Mott on Thursday night. The defense is still an issue for Avondale allowing 83 points in the last two weeks. The Yellow Jackets have Pontiac looming next week.

Seaholm: The Maples bounced back in a big way winning 50-8 over Royal Oak on Thursday night. Seaholm had a big night from both sides of the football. They have a big one with Waterford Mott looming next week.

Royal Oak: The Ravens were blown out by Seaholm 50-8 on Thursday night. Royal Oak struggled on both sides of the football. This is a setback for Coach Colin Campbell and the Ravens. They have Waterford Kettering looming next week

Groves: The Falcons bounced back after a tough loss to North Farmington last week with a 49-6 win over Berkley on Thursday night. It's also important for Groves to get their reserves some playing time as well. The Falcons have Southfield Arts and Tech looming next week.

Berkley: The Bears are having it rough right now falling 49-6 to Groves at Hurley Field on Thursday night. Berkley has scored six points in two weeks and allowing 91 points as well. Coach Dan Earls has a rough challenge ahead of them and they have Ferndale looming next week.

Harper Woods: The Pioneers bounced back in a big way winning 48-12 over Ferndale on Thursday night. Harper Woods got big plays from their stars and have seem to have recovered over last week's loss to Chelsea. Harper Woods has Oak Park looming next week.

Ferndale: It was a rough night for the Eagles falling 48-12 to Harper Woods on Thursday night. Ferndale will be fine though especially going against a veteran Pioneers team. The Eagles have Berkley looming next week.

Southfield Arts and Tech: The Warriors had an interesting game with Pontiac on Friday night winning. They have a tough matchup looming with Groves next week.

Pontiac: The Phoenix had a tough night with Southfield Arts and Tech falling on Friday night. Pontiac has Avondale looming next week.

Oak Park: The Knights had an interesting game with Waterford Kettering on Friday night winning 48-0 in Knight Valley. They have Harper Woods looming next week.

Waterford Kettering: The Captains had a rough night with Oak Park falling 48-0 on Friday night in Knight Valley. They have Royal Oak looming next week.

Grand Blanc: The Bobcats were dominant on Thursday night at "The Don" winning 48-0 over Flint Carman Ainsworth. Grand Blanc got a ton of their reserves to play which is a big deal especially for the future. The Bobcats have a big game looming with Saginaw Heritage next week.

Davison: The Cardinals had a rough night with Novi Detroit Catholic Central falling 56-14 on Friday night. Davison will be fine. They have a tough matchup with Traverse City Central looming next week.

Clawson: The Trojans had an interesting game with Center Line winning 7-0 on Friday night. Clawson is clicking on both sides of the football. They have New Haven looming next week.

Novi: The Wildcats had a tough 26-14 loss to Salem on Thursday night. Novi is better than last season, but they are 0-2 which is a concern. The Wildcats need to find a way to turn things around in a hurry. They have Canton looming next week.

Northville: The Mustangs had to survive 10-7 against Canton on Thursday night. It's unknown if Northville had a hangover after the emotional double overtime win against Lake Orion in week one or if they were looking ahead to Brighton next week. It was a very odd game that the Mustangs struggled and had to get the winning field goal with less than a minute left. Northville has a ton of work to do heading into next week.
