Hey, Doc. It's the Final Four. Just what we've been waiting for.
 
Here's my crème of the crop.
 
Division 1
At Stoney Creek
A "home" game for Rochester Adams should inspire the Highlanders, but Novi takes care of business again. Crawford to the rescue.
 
At Hartland
In a battle of Mustangs, Northville plays from behind, plays with a lead, plays even. Too much for the unbeaten ones from Portage Central. Coach Norman will need to call on the ghost of Lindsay Tarpley for three goals early to stop Northville.
 
Division 2
At Grand Rapids Forest Hills Central
I picked against Holland Christian in the districts and again in regionals, but this time HC gets marooned in the semis and Okemos moves on.
 
At North Farmington
Once beaten Dexter is primed for this showdown but Lahser is Knighted to move to the finals.
 
Division 3
At Sparta
Hudsonville Unity Christian is on cruise control and that spells Suttons death in regulation for the bay side brigade.
 
At Pontiac Notre Dame Prep
Williamston beat Country Day during the regular season, but if Coach Bob Bukari can adjust his mirrors just right. Bam! The Yellowjackets get a rematch for the third time against Unity.
 
Division 4
At Middleville-Thornapple-Kellogg
Hackett is punching its return ticket to the finals as Western Michigan Christian can't solve the Irish attack.
 
At Berkley
Greenhills has a pair of Ford's for a better idea and hangs on for an overtime thriller against Clawson.
 
Thanx
 
See ya Friday and Saturday.
