Baseball District Preview.

Written Friday May 26th at 8:05 AM

Here is my insight and thoughts heading into the baseball districts.

District 16 at Livonia Stevenson

FARMINGTON vs. Novi Detroit Catholic Central

FARMINGTON/Novi Detroit Catholic Central vs. NORTH FARMINGTON

Novi vs. Livonia Stevenson

 

EARLY PICKS: This district looks like it could be the Shamrocks vs the Spartans. The Wildcats are the sleeper in this district. I like Novi Detroit Catholic Central to move on.

 

District 20 at Grosse Pointe South

Grosse Pointe South vs. St. Clair Shores Lakeview

Grosse Pointe North vs. HARPER WOODS

 

EARLY PICKS: The battle of Grosse Pointe could be on again between the Blue Devils and the Norsemen. I like Grosse Pointe North to move on.

 

District 22 at Royal Oak

ROYAL OAK vs. Sterling Heights

ROYAL OAK/Sterling Heights vs. BERKLEY

Warren Cousino vs. Warren Mott

 

EARLY PICKS: The Ravens and Bears would be a fun district semifinals, whoever wins that game wins the district. With apologies to the school on Lexington Blvd, the team from Catalpa should move on.

 

District 24 at Birmingham Brother Rice

SEAHOLM vs. SOUTHFIELD ARTS AND TECH

GROVES vs. Birmingham Brother Rice

 

EARLY PICKS: This has the makings of a Warriors vs Maples district finals. Too much pitching leads Seaholm to a major upset.

 

District 27 at Romeo

Romeo vs. ROCHESTER

Romeo/ROCHESTER vs. ADAMS

STONEY CREEK vs. Utica Eisenhower

 

EARLY PICKS: This is a very tough district. The Eagles are solid as is the Bulldogs but the Highlanders senior class has another deep run in them.

 

District 28 at Avondale

AVONDALE vs. TROY ATHENS

AVONDALE/TROY ATHENS vs. TROY

BLOOMFIELD HILLS vs. Utica

 

EARLY PICKS: This is a pick me district. There is a lot of good teams in this district. If I had to pick one to win this district, it’s the Blackhawks.

 

District 29 at West Bloomfield

Waterford Mott vs. Orchard Lake St. Mary’s

Waterford Mott/Orchard Lake St. Mary’s vs. Waterford Kettering

WEST BLOOMFIELD vs. LAKE ORION

 

EARLY PICKS: This is a very tough district. The Eaglets got a great draw while the Dragons and Lakers have to go through each other. Orchard Lake St. Marys is the best team in this district but they have been vulnerable lately. I think Lake Orion or West Bloomfield has a chance to upset them.

 

District 31 at Oxford

Fenton vs. Holly

Fenton/Holly vs. OXFORD

CLARKSTON vs. Grand Blanc

 

EARLY PICKS: Clarkston vs Grand Blanc should be a doozy. Oxford got a great draw. I see a Wildcats vs Bobcats district final with Grand Blanc moving on.
