Lacrosse State Quarterfinal Preview.
Written Thursday May 29th at 9:20 AM
Here are the previews for the Division One State Quarterfinals for Boys and Girls Lacrosse.
Boys
CLARKSTON vs Birmingham Brother Rice @ Seaholm
The Warriors are starting to get back to form which means that’s bad news for the Wolves. Clarkston and Birmingham Brother Rice were dominant in their regionals. The Wolves are a very young team and going against a team like the Warriors will be a very tough ask.
LAKE ORION vs Hartland @ Troy
This will be a rematch of a classic 13-12 Eagles win in Hartland over the Dragons. Lake Orion should be motivated for this matchup remembering what happened in that game. Both teams got through their regionals with ease. Expect this game to be very tight and very competitive.
PROJECTIONS: I see a Warriors vs Dragons State Semifinal matchup looming. I think overtime will be required again in the Hartland/Lake Orion matchup. Clarkston will have a rough time with Birmingham Brother Rice unless something happens, you never know.
Girls
TROY vs BLOOMFIELD HILLS
The Colts are coming into this regional final with nothing to lose and everything to gain. The Blackhawks have been here before, they know how it works. This should be a very interesting matchup with the winner heading to the Division One State Semifinals.
LAKE ORION vs Hartland
The Dragons are coming off a tough 11-9 win over Huron Valley in the Regional Semifinals. They will have a really tall task going up against Hartland. The Eagles have been very good all season long. It will be a tall order for Lake Orion in this matchup.
