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
