District Final Matchups.

Written Saturday October 31st at 12:00 AM

Here are the matchups for week 11.

Division Three

HARPER WOODS vs Detroit Martin Luther King: This is one of the matchups we are waiting for with the Pioneers hosting the Crusaders at Beaconsfield. Harper Woods needed a bounce back game winning 50-8 over Warren Fitzgerald in the first round. This should be a very interesting game of two teams that are very athletic and talented.

Division One

NORTHVILLE at Saline: The Mustangs bounced back after falling to Howell 35-22 in the KLAA championship game. They head to Saline to take on a Hornets team that is rolling right now. Saline has balance and is very dangerous. Northville has defensive concerns coming into this game against a very good and high-octane Saline offense and they are huge up front. This should be a very interesting game.

ADAMS at STONEY CREEK: These two schools are separated by Tienken Road and are no strangers to one another. The Highlanders won 23-14 in week seven over the Cougars. Brendan Gercais's health is extremely critical. He injured his shoulder against Adams. The Highlanders have had their moments of good and bad. Both teams are coming off dominating victories in the first round. This should be a very interesting matchup.

ROCHESTER at Romeo: The Falcons are coming off a very similar story to Adams when the exact same thing when the Falcons started hot that went cold and then scored a touchdown late but couldn't get the two-point conversion. This time it was almost the same exact story, but they got the two-point conversion by Nate Tandy on a double reverse which led to a stunning 22-21 upset win over Macomb Dakota. It's going to be tough for Rochester heading to Dan Barnabo Field to play the Bulldogs. The Falcons have not seen a physical team like Romeo. This is going to be a tough matchup for Rochester.

OXFORD at Novi Detroit Catholic Central: The Wildcats have one of their best teams they have ever had. They will have a daunting task heading to Novi to play Novi Detroit Catholic Central. The Shamrocks were tested by Lake Orion despite the 43-6 win over the Dragons. Oxford is physical and huge up front and if they can control the line of scrimmage to go with their high-octane offense this could spell trouble for Novi Detroit Catholic Central. Depth is a concern for the Wildcats and if can they stop the edge which is the Shamrocks bread and butter along with stopping Giedon Gash an upset could happen here. This should be a very interesting game.

GRAND BLANC at CLARKSTON: This could be the most interesting rematch in the State. The Wolves won three of the last four meetings and have eliminated the Bobcats 44-22 last season. Grand Blanc beat Clarkston 42-35 back in 2020. Both teams have proven experience, but the Bobcats has motivation as mentioned. This should be a very interesting matchup of two teams that know each other quite well and it's the beginning of a future rivalry in the OAA.
