Regional tennis predictions

On Thursday and Friday, 41 Oakland County schools will compete at nine different regionals in the hopes that they'll qualify for states, which will be played on Oct. 19-20. To qualify, a team must finish among the top two at its regional, or finish with 18 or more points. At those regions where there are eight teams or fewer, any team with 10 or more points - in addition to the automatic qualifiers - also makes it out.
Here's a look at all of Oakland County's teams and my predictions on who will make it out:
