Not for one second did I think Davison had a prayer against Powers Friday night, but I was intrigued to see if the Cardinals had improved. Despite losing by close to 1000 points, I can safely say that Davison is getting better. With only three seniors, and only one of them truly productive in first [...]

Kalamazoo Central shuts down no. 1-ranked Detroit Country Day
Posted: January 23, 2010 by Jared Field in High SchoolThis is not an “I told you so” moment. Anyone who has watched Kalamazoo Central play this year knows, deep down, that the Maroon Giants are the best team in the state — at least when they’re at full strength. They proved it on Saturday, beating what had been the consensus no. 1 team in [...]
This is an interesting read from Hotbed Hoops on the best Flint-area backcourts. The top two seem obvious: Jaylen Magee and Dre Parks at Northwestern and Demarco Sanders and Patrick Lucas-Perry at Powers. More fun, perhaps, is talking about the future Flint has in the backcourt with guys like Denzel Watts, Monte Morris and Richmond [...]

Andrew Patrick, Goodrich’s four-year varsity do-all guard signed his national letter of intent on Wednesday. He will be playing his college ball at Concordia University in Ann Arbor.

The legend grows: Mott’s Doug Anderson shatters backboard in first half against St. Clair
Posted: January 20, 2010 by Jared Field in CollegeFLINT, Michigan — Let’s just say that it had to be Doug Anderson. On Wednesday night, Mott’s Doug Anderson continued his personal vendetta against the baskets at the Steve Schmidt Gymnasium. This time, the basket had enough. Here’s the story…
Tuesday night’s storylines: Ham slams North Branch with 33 points, 18 boards
Posted: January 20, 2010 by Jared Field in High SchoolHere’s the weekly rundown of Tuesday night’s happenings from across Michigan: – Bridgeport senior small forward Darvin Ham is turning into an intriguing next-level prospect with each passing game. Since my cohort (though it may just be a coincidence) called on Ham to stop jacking 3-pointers a few weeks back, he has been a B-E-A-S-T for [...]

FLINT, Michigan — It’s becoming clear that if Mott’s flyboy freshman Doug Anderson wasn’t such a phenomenal dunker, he’d probably be known as a pretty good all-around basketball player. Coming into tonight’s 7:30 p.m. matchup at home versus (14-3) St. Clair, Anderson has arguably become Mott’s most valuable player. Lost in the all the hype about his [...]

Posted: January 20, 2010 by Marcellus Miller in High SchoolFLINT, Michigan — It’s hard to believe, but only 10 games into the season Flint Northwestern has clinched the City Series title. With only three teams left in the city, winning their first three city games proved to be enough. Tonight’s win showcased NW’s undersized players with their oversized hearts. Their 78-68 victory shows that desire [...]
UDM’s Ray McCallum listed among top candidates for Depaul job
Posted: January 19, 2010 by Jared Field in CollegeTags: Depaul, Ray McCallum
I saw this today regarding Ray McCallum Sr., the head coach at the University of Detroit Mercy and architect of that program’s resurgence. Could he be a legitimate candidate to take over at Depaul? It’s in a major conference in a major midwestern city. (Oh, and he has a pretty good player in his home [...]
