5 of 6 Oakland County school bonds pass, with varying support

Six Oakland County school districts had bond proposals totaling nearly $837 million on the Nov. 3 ballot. One of those bonds failed to make the grade with voters, while another passed by less than 60 votes. Here's what voters had to say in unofficial results: Birmingham A $240 million bond, the largest in Oakland County, passed in Birmingham, with 66% of voters saying yes to 34% no. The money will update safety and security measures, provide college and career readiness additions; buy new school buses; expand and upgrade the Midvale Early Childhood Center; and repair and replace aging infrastructure. Taxpayers will not see an increase from the 3.8 mills currently levied in the district. "I voted yes on the bond because our schools need better facilities," Carmen Johnson, 43 and a Birmingham mother of two, said. "It doesn't raise taxes and any chance to support public education you have to do." Farmington Voters in the Farmington Public School District approved a $171 million bond, with 62% yes to 38% no. The money will be used to support infrastructure at all 17 buildings in the district, as well as programming, enhancement of performing arts spaces at middle schools, athletic facilities at

Rochester Stoney Creek football beats rival Rochester Adams, wins district title

ROCHESTER HILLS — As if he was a golfer dreading a bad slice off of the tee, Stoney Creek senior quarterback Brandon Gergics had a bad feeling when he let the pass go. Stoney Creek was tied with rival Rochester Adams in the third quarter of a Division 1 district final on Friday, Nov. 6 when Gergics dropped back and fired a deep pass down the field toward junior teammate Jase Marcellin, but dreaded the pass initially. “I thought I pushed it out to the right,” Gergics said. “I’m just glad my guy is fast. He got to the ball. I thought It was a bad ball. I’m not going to lie.” It not only wasn’t a bad ball, it might have ended up being the most important pass in Stoney Creek history, as Marcellin ran under the ball, hauled in the pass and raced to the end zone for what turned out to be the winning score in a 21-7 win for Stoney Creek over Adams in a Division 1 district final.

High school football: Breaking down the top playoff games in Round 2

Clarkston (9-1) will need a big game from quarterback Alex Waszczenko if it hopes to hand Grand Blanc (10-0) its first loss of the season in the Division 1 district final Friday, Nov. 6. The senior dual-threat QB has completed 64% of his passes for 1,116 yards, 11 TDs and two interceptions. He’s also rushed for 404 yards and 11 TDs. “Offensively, it starts with our QB Alex Waszczenko,” Clarkston coach Josh Pintar said. “He is the catalyst to everything we do on offense. Along with our offensive line giving him time and opening up holes in the run game, I expect them to be important factors in how this game goes. Alex is a tremendous athlete who has the ability to make plays both in the run or pass (games), and he is also dangerous on broken plays, making something out of nothing.” Waszczenko is already third in school history with 1,116 career passing yards, recently passing Dugan Fife. He also ranks third with 34 career TD passes, having moved past Tyler Scarlett. Only Dane Fife and DJ Zezula rank ahead of him in both categories. Waszczenko’s favorite targets are Drew French, who has 344 yards and four TDs

Harper Woods football uses trick play to put away Detroit King in district final

HARPER WOODS — What do you do when you’re Harper Woods and you’re nursing a 14-6 lead over Detroit King with just under eight minutes left in the Division 3 district championship? Do you keep feeding the ball to five-star senior and Oregon commit Dakota Guerrant, who accounted for 83 of his team-high 112 rushing yards out of the wildcat formation in the second half? Or do you risk it all with a trick play to put away the game? Harper Woods went big. More: Subscribe to “Michigan Sidelines,” our high school sports newsletter Down the stretch, Guerrant was gaining nine yards here, seven yards there. He even ripped off a pair of 15-yarders. But when Harper Woods reached midfield, it checked out of another run and called a play it had been waiting to run all season. That’d be the hook and ladder. Quarterback Austin Mitchell threw a short pass to Guerrant on a hook route. Guerrant immediately pitched the ball backward to four-star recruit Deandre Bidden, who got the edge on King’s defense and raced 60 yards untouched to essentially seal the 20-6 victory with 7:11 left and send Harper Woods (9-2) to next week’s regional final against
