Eight Oakland County boys soccer teams remain in the hunt for a state championship. At least two will not make it through this week. Any soccer coach will tell you anything can happen on any give night, but here’s what I think will happen in my regional predictions.

Division 1
(At Saginaw Heritage)
Wednesday
Lake Orion vs. Grand Blanc, 5 p.m. — Grand Blanc defeated Lake Orion 3-0 in the season opener for both teams back in August. The Dragons have come a long way since then and will send the Bobcats home for the second straight year. Pick: Lake Orion
Troy vs. Midland Dow, 7 p.m. — The Colts offense led by Joe Beshara and Nate Hicklin will be too much for Dow to stop. Pick Troy

Division 2
(At Bloomfield Hills Andover)
Wednesday
Birmingham Seaholm vs. Riverview, 5 p.m. — The Maples have not allowed a goal in the playoffs, while Riverview allowed two goals to Dearborn Divine Child in the district title game. Seaholm’s defense will be the difference. Pick: Scaholm
St. Clair Shores Lakeview vs. Dexter, 7 p.m. — Dexter is more battle tested coming out of the SEC. Pick: Dexter

(At Flint Kearsley)
Tuesday
Oxford vs. Laingsburg, 5 p.m. — Laingsburg is coming off a double overtime victory over St. Johns and this game could very well end up in overtime, but I like the Wildcats. Pick: Oxford
Ortonville Brandon vs. Mason, 7 p.m. — The Blackhawks historic season comes to an end against a talented Mason squad. Pick: Mason

Division 3
(At Birmingham Detroit Country Day)
Tuesday
Birmingham Detroit Country Day vs. Ann Arbor Gabriel Richard, 5 p.m. — Having the home field will give No. 3 Country Day the edge over Gabriel Richard. Pick: Country Day
Macomb Lutheran North vs. Jackson Lumen Christi, 7 p.m. — No. 8 Lutheran North will have its hands full with Lumen Christi, but should come out on top. Pick: Lutheran North

Division 4
(At Jackson Christian School)
Tuesday
Ann Arbor Greenhills vs. Lutheran Westland, 3:30 p.m. — This should be a great game, but Greenhills is ranked No. 1 for a reason. Pick: Greenhills
Wednesday
Birmingham Roeper vs. Lansing Christian, 3:30 p.m. — I made the mistake of picking against Roeper in districts, and while this will be a tough one, I'm not making that mistake again. Pick: Roeper

(At Auburn Hills Oakland Christian)
Tuesday
Auburn Hills Oakland Christian vs. Burton Genesse Christian — The Stanko brothers and the rest of the Lancers are still my pick to win it all. Pick: Oakland Christian
Wednesday
Grosse Pointe Woods University Liggett vs. Harbor Beach — What I know about Harbor Beach and a nickel won’t get you very far so I’ll just go with Liggett. Pick: Liggett

Boys soccer predictions record: District finalists: 18-4; District champions: 9-3
