First week of MAC competition.
MAC Red -
GPN v GPS - Cross town rivals, great programs, should be a great meet. Both teams practice at the same pool (GPN), so it will be difficult for either team to suprise the other. GPS has an advantage in numbers, but never under estimate what veteran coach Mike O'Connor can do with his strong GPN team.
prediction GPS 103 - GPN 83
Eisenhower @ Romeo - The battle of NW Macomb County. Could this be a case of a past Macomb County powerhouse battling the current King of the County. Romeo has had only one daul meet so far, so they may still be trying to figure out what combinations will be the most effective. Eisenhower is 2 -1, and started the season with an impressive victory over Chippewa Valley. Eisenhowers combination of veterans and very talented young swimmers will make this a very exciting meet.
prediction Romeo 94- IKE 92 (if this meet were held 7 miles south - maybe a different outcome)
L'anse Creuse has a bye - nice chance to train and see how the other meets shake out.
MAC White -
Fraser @ Marysville - Fraser is coming off an impressive tie vs Chippewa Valley (impressive because Fraser swam without one of their best swimmers). Based on the current MAC rankings, Fraser would be a predominant favorite. But wait, this meet is at the Marysville pool (4 lanes only), and that means Fraser willnot be able to take advantage of their team depth.
prediction Fraser squeaks out a victory - in a low scoring meet
Dakota @ Chippewa Valley - This meet should be fun, and don't be fooled by Chippewa's slow start, they have had some big competition. Dakota has been on a roll since their coming out party last year, knocking of Romeo, and they have not stopped winning. Both teams have talent, and depth.
prediction - Chippewa will keep it close, but look for Dakota to keep rolling.
Anchor Bay has a bye - but keep an eye on the Tars.
MAC Blue -
SouthLake @ St. Clair - St. Clair drives south, on west bound 94, and goes home with a victory.
Henry Ford II @ Stevenson (@ the HF II Pool) - Henry Ford has shown to much depth in the early meets to be beaten.
prediction - HF II will follow Bill Woods to victory
Roseville @ Utica - This is a tough meet to call. If the meet is at the Utica pool, the edge goes to Utica. If the meet is at the IKE pool, it could be a toss up.
MAC Gold -
WWT @ Lakeshore - Lakeshore and WWT are both of to good starts.
prediction - WWT prevails
L'Anse Cruese North @ Cousino - This should be a good meet with two veteran coaches preparing their teams well. This year LCN just has too much talent and depth.
prediction - LCN by 20
Marine City @ Lamphere - Marine City leaves Oakland County with another win.
MAC Silver -
Sterling Heights @ East Detroit - Sterling Heights prevails
On these two picks, I just don't have enough information. Can someone help me out?
Mott @ Fitzgerald -
Lakeview @ Centerline -
Remember Coaches - In the Wake entries can make these predictions much easier!!
