Friday Night District Games

Class B at Chelsea

Milan/Chelsea 7 pm This should be an interesting matchup between these two teams. Chelsea has played well at times while stuggling at times as well. The Bulldogs have a quality coach and a nice tradition. Milan has been up and down this season but are a tough team to beat when the 3 ball is falling. This would be a great win for the league but playing a Chelsea will be tough. Pick: Bulldogs by 3

Class B at New Boston Huron

Jefferson/Huron 7 pm These teams have played twice this year with the Chiefs winning both games. On paper this looks like a blowout but Jefferson has a nice three game win streak going. The physical Bears would like nothing more than to pull off the biggest win in school history. The Chiefs need to remain focused for four quarters. They can't keep turning things on in the 4th quarter and expect to win. Pick: Chiefs by 7

Class C at Blissfield

SMCC/Dundee 7 pm These teams met early in the season with Dundee winning by 3 in Monroe. The Vikings have a solid starting five and two star players. The Falcons have found their identity and could salvage an average season by winning the district. Both teams have quality coaches who will put their teams in a position to win. This is a game I might go down and see because it should be a barn-burner. Pick: Falcons by 1 2OT

Wednesday Night District Games

Class A at Saline

Airport/Adrian 8 pm The Jets continue to play well and will face their second straight SEC foe. Adrian has hovered around the .500 mark all season and the Jets have a farely favorable matchup in this game. Look for Baseball season to be put on hold a little longer in Carleton. Pick: Jets by 2

Class B at Huron

Jefferson/Erie Mason 5:30 pm This will be the third time these two teams have met with the Eagles winning the early season matchup and the Bears winning just last week. Coach Scharf has the Bears contiually playing hard and they are starting to believe in themselves. Look for Jefferson to stick around for another game. Pick: Bears by 3

Trenton/Huron 7:00 pm These two teams met in January and the Chiefs won big. With Huron's rival out of the way the Chiefs can put away the emotion and let hard work and talent win this game. Look for Huron to avoid a let down and be in the district final on Friday. Pick: Chiefs by 9

Class B at Chelsea

Ann Arbor Skyline/Milan 5:30 pm For the first time this season the Big Reds will play a team that has more youth than themselves. The Eagles are a 2nd year school with only freshmen and sophomores on the roster. They have played mostly a JV schedule but ride a 5 game winning streak against varsity opponents. Milan will not take the Eagles lightly in the semi-final in hopes of building momentum for next season. Pick: Big Reds by 5

Class B at Dearborn Heights Robichaud

Riverview/Robichaud 6 pm Riverview will take on the host who won the first season of the Western Wayne Athletic League's Red Division. This isn't your typical Bulldog team and the Bucs should find themselves with an opportunity to reach the district final. Much will depend on Riverview's ability to get to the freethrow line. This is a tough one to pick but I will give the nod to the home team. Pick: Bulldogs by 1 OT

Class C at Blissfield

Whiteford/SMCC 5:30 pm This will be a matchup of two different styles. Whiteford will look to get up and down the floor while the Falcons will look to use their size and shooting to their advantage. These two teams don't play very often and it should be an interesting matchup. Look for Randy Windham to get his first tournament victory. Pick: Falcon by 3

Flat Rock finishes the season at 7-14. Huron moves onto Wednesday's District semi-final against 2-18 Trenton.
