I think The Ravens are a very good team. Their defense against the run is excellent. Even they they had a back run for 137 yards they were tough yards. Against the pass I thought they were a little soft. I wish them well for the rest of the season. The more wins they get the more playoff bonus point the Wolves get !

As for FHH having the best defense, didn't you just give up 30+ points against Adams ?

I think it is too early to claim the best defense in the league. Just one Wolve's opinion.

you played lasher and p northern...so chill out with the defense talk. although i like the strategy of playing 8-9 people in the box to force the pass.

Ok harison having tha best D? No sorry thy just got killed by adams..Clarkston is a good team no lie but i think if we played them again it would be a completly different game..think about it..we jst lost 5 of our 11 guys on D due to graduation and we lost a starting quarterback. So Clarkston isnt the only power in this division. and yea we did jsut play Lahser and Northern but they are both good teams..Northern has one of tha fastest teams in tha Red and we shut them down...Lahser isnt a team u can slack on...so watch ull see that no one gives us play when it comes to be being a dominate team.I hope we see Clarkston in tha Playoffs cuz we are totally different team.

We got Orion next week and Troy after so watch wut we do.

I respect your confidence with your team, it is a necessary part of establishing a winning program. However, looking at your schedule it says you play west bloomfield before orion and troy. Another part of having a winning program is not overlooking opponents like that. Take it a week at a time. Good luck to you.

im not over looking West Bloomfield. Yes they do have a talented team but i think our D is too much for them. I look for it to be a good game but we will come out on top.

i hate to say it but, however much better RO may be after a few more games under their belt, think of the experience racked up by everyone for clarkston too. another game would have no different outcome but with the Wolves victorious. Also, LO is a completely different team now that chris lum is out, they have no experience at QB in Ryan Broth. theyre a one sided offensive team now and should not be a tough opponent on the schedule anymore because the team morale is at a low losing their college bound quarterback.

RO hasn't beaten anyone yet... Prove something against a quality team then well talk about being underrated, until then you're rated right where you should be.

RO only beat PN, WB and Lahser. Those teams have a combined 4 wins. WB only beat Lahser and PN. Lahser and Northern only beat Athens. So RO is underrated? If anything, I think they're overrated.

its honestly doesnt matter who we've beaten.. because if thats tha case then we can turn to college football..why is USC so highly rated when they play absolutaly no one? and who has givin Clarkston the best change to lose? Us because we are a dominate team and u will see every soon

I think RO is right where they should be. Besides barely losing to Clarkston, they have not played anyone of stature. I believe they will make the playoffs because all they really have to do is win one out of three tough games (LO, Troy, OP) considering Troy A. and Farmington shouldn't be a hard task. Depending on how they play, they could be one of the best in the OAA defeating all three big teams, or only beating one to be a low seed playoff team. Otherwise, no, the team is not underrated, the players may be though... I heard their runningback went for 300 some yards and 4-5 TDs against WB last Friday but or som reason did not get player of the week... huh?

MMM.... Royal Oak RB Raylen Davis went for 270 and 3 Tds but Athens QB Joe Simoney (who did win player of the week) ran for 275, 5 tds and passed for another 50 yards.

He ran for 277 with 3TD's. I was there blocking for him and he was dead so Yea he should have gotten player of the week PLUS aAthens played Rochester so come on our 3rd string QB could have killed them. I like that we are 4th in the oaa now. We shouldnt have been 6th so im glad we moved up.

I watched the royal oak v west bloomfield game, and yea, their running back looked pretty good. I think a coule of his big runs were aided by poor tackling from the west bloomfield defense, but all in all he impressed me. On the other hand, the raven defense that has been previously mentioned in this post as a very good unit did not impress me. west bloomfield exposed their lack of team speed on both the run and the pass. royal oak won only because of the play of their rb.

as a player on the west bloomfield team that let royal oaks davis run for 270 yards, i think we were the biggest reason for letting him get that many yards. the poor tackling was not suitable for a team in teh oaa. as for royal oaks defense being underated, we scored our season high against them, and season high 202 passing yards. Also, the teams the avondale fan previosuly bashed, lahser and northern, are very good and talented team, i know becasue i have played both of them, and i would definitly put my money on either of the 2 oaa red teams mentioned rather than place my money on avondale. Also, both teams were very sportsmanlike and those two games we played against them were thee cleanest high school games i've ever played in my life

Beat Troy next week then come talk about how good you think you are... until then your still unproven to be a top 5 OAA team.

my rant wasn't about how good wb be is, it was about how maybe royal oaks defense is not quite as underrated as previously thought

best,you dont deserve the best defense talk, adams has the best defense, every high profile runningback we have faced hasn't made it over 40 yards, you guys are really good though, i dont think your underated cuz u guys are respected,your right were you should be.
