Allen Robinson’s high school basketball career may have come to an end on Tuesday night when Orchard Lake Saint Mary’s fell to Bay City Western, but not before putting together an prime-time playoff run. In Saint Mary’s regional final win over rival Catholic Central, Robinson poured in a Lebron James-esque 17 straight points in the fourth quarter en route to a 34 point night. Robinson will now take his talents to Penn State where he will be playing football next fall.
Patrick Onwenu and Landon Atterberry have been as dangerous of a front court as there has been in the playoffs, both are an almost guaranteed LOCK to record a double-double every night for Southfield. The duo has been a nightmare for anyone to coach against; their size and length have helped add yet another dangerous dimension to an already deadly team. These two have been as important as any player to any teams playoff run and now have the Blue Jays just two wins at the Breslin from to bringing home a state title.
While it may be expected from him on most night’s Amir Williams continued to show why he’s one of the premier dominant forces in high school basketball, averaging well over a double-double while getting his fair share of blocks on a nightly basis. Williams was one of many to come up big for Birmingham Detroit Country Day but he has been essential in the Yellowjackets search for yet another state championship. Williams will be spending the next few years playing for Thad Matta and the Buckeyes.
BONUS:
Pontiac’s Anthony Adams had what was the most memorable individual performance from this year’s playoffs and one of the best in recent memory, nearly willing the Phoenix to a win over Rochester Adams. Adams proved to be the only source of offense that night for Pontiac, going off for 45 points ending his time at Pontiac in incredible fashion before coming up just short in overtime.
