Orchard Lake St. Mary's vs. Warren De La Salle Collegiate
When: Saturday, September 19, 2009, 1:00 PM (Homecoming)
Where: Msgr. Milewski Field, Orchard Lake
Principal: Patrick Adams; Athletic Director: Brian Kelly; Head Football Coach: Paul Verska; Nickname: Pilots; School Colors: Purple & Gold; Enrollment: 800; League/Conference: Catholic League Central Division; State Runners-Up: 2006
Series Record: 10-6
Last Game Score: 28-34 (OT) (2008) Game Recap
Series History: Since the series resumed in 1993 after a 44-year hiatus, the Eaglets have won 10 of 13 games, losing in 2002 and 2006 by identical 14-7 scores on the Pilots' home field, and in overtime in 2008.
2008 Recap: The Pilots were undefeated until the Division II final where they lost to Muskegon to finish 13-1.
2009 Preview: Last season the Pilots reached the Division 2 final for the second time in three years, and this team could be even better. The reason is experience on the line of scrimmage. DeLaSalle also will add a few transfers, including a couple from Sterling Heights , including receiver Patrick Harris. Defensive tackles Steve O'Shell and Matt Privett are two of the Catholic League's top defensive players. (Tom Markowski, The Detroit News)
