WARREN MICHIGAN COLLEGIATE VS. CENTER LINE
These 2 teams enter the game with a 35-6 combined record. There are superior athletes and playmakers on both rosters. It should be a fast paced and entertaining contest.
Players to watch –
Grant is a beast on both ends of the floor. He reads shots and uses his vertical to effectively protect the rim. Grant is good for a few swats a game. Offensively, he’s a monster finisher in the open floor and opponents better be very wary when they see him cutting to the rim.
Wade has a lot to offer in the backcourt. He’s a quick player with fast feet. Wade can defend the length of the floor and has good defensive vision and quick hands to force turnovers. Wade recently topped the 1000 point mark in his career.
Highlights
RIVERVIEW GABRIEL RICHARD VS. YPSILANTI ARBOR PREP
There will be athletic talent tonight, especially in the backcourt. While Gabriel Richard enters as the favorites, Arbor Prep brings versatility and a handful of players that can difference makers on any given night.
If you want to see the stars in this state, Westerdale should be on your must see list. He’s a silky smooth guard that can slide into a change of direction with ease. Westerdale is an elite shooter that can burn out bulbs on a scoreboard when he gets in his groove. He’ll be fun to watch tonight, we can bet on that.
Highlights
Brooks is an Adrian College commit that’s looking to round out his high school career in style. He’s a fast twitch guard that can make the tough play look pretty easy. Brooks can attack the defense with the ball in his hand and force help on the dribble drive. He’s a playmaker off the perimeter and a player that could have a huge impact on the outcome of this game.
Highlights
RIVERVIEW VS. FLAT ROCK
I really like the way that this game lines up on paper. The 2 teams split their regular season meetings and look forward to a competitive and intense rubber match.
Dorn had a big game in the quarterfinals, but hey, that’s kind of what we expect from Dorn this season isn’t it? He’s consistently shown that he can carry the load of the go-to scorer for Riverview. He has a lot of talent around him that put him in success positions and if they do that tonight, Riverview can win Round 3.
Highlights
Junge is just so tough to match up with for most high school teams. His combination of strength and shiftiness is tough for most opponents to deal with. Junge is a multi level scorer that carries excellent ball and body control. This helps him score in a variety of ways.
