Continue ReadingThe district finals begin tomorrow! Or if you’re reading this on Friday, today! West, Central, and East Michigan all have amazing matchups to show. I compiled 4-5 of the best matchups from each region, which, on paper, will all be extremely competitive. In addition, we’re at the point in the postseason where many of the best 2023 recruits will be facing elimination. Go out and support those seniors! Now, here are 14 of the best matchups throughout the state!
West Michigan
All of the following games are great. Rockford vs. Caledonia could be a classic. FHC vs. Shores is a matchup between two state-champ contenders. St Joseph is a dangerous team that can surely upset Zeeland West, so look out! Whitehall and Fruitport have both had vastly improved seasons, but Whitehall is favored. South Christian will be favored against UC, but UC (2021 runner-up), has been playing its best ball as of late.

South Christian vs. Unity Christian
Central Michigan
Every game here is worth going to. Grand Ledge vs. Holt is a rivalry matchup that puts the winner a game away from the semifinals. This is absolutely huge! MP vs. DeWitt should be extremely interesting. DeWitt is usually a powerhouse, but they are on a down-year, while MP has struggled recently in the postseason. East Lansing vs. Portage Northern is an odd one. I would favor EL due to their perimeter talent, but Portage Northern won handily in the trenches last week. Fenton vs. Linden is a battle of two physical teams that have played everyone tough. Lastly, Midland vs. Mott is one of the best games in the state. Midland is lesser-known, while Mott has some massive talent.

East Michigan
As usual, East Michigan is loaded with incredible matchups. Davison vs. Clarkston is my #1 matchup in the state, as both teams are D1 Championship contenders. A&T vs. Cass Tech is a game everyone’s going to be at, including me. Be there if you want to see the stars shine! Seaholm vs. Groves is a heated rivalry that keeps getting better. The entire Birmingham community will be coming out to see this game. Dakota vs. Romeo needs to introduction. This is another classic MI rivalry, and the stakes always seem to either be MAC Red Championship or Playoff Elimination. WLW vs. Brother Rice is an underrated one. These are two teams that could upset King and end up at Ford Field when it’s all said and done!
