A quick rundown of the top performances in the girl’s basketball regional opener. (Clarkston, Pontiac Notre Dame Prep, Southfield Christian, Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes, Auburn Hills Avondale, Farmington Hills Mercy and Birmingham Detroit Country Day all advance to the regional finals.)
Southfield Christian freshman Charity Godbold may have had the first of many stellar performances on Monday night. Godbold scored 19 of her game high 22 points in the second half and hit clutch shot after clutch shot in her team’s 46-39 win against Plymouth Christian. With that big time performance, Godbold has put herself on the map for the future.
Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes, who trailed nearly the entire game to Marine City Cardinal Mooney, but senior Lauren Robak, who scored a game high 21 points, knocked down the game winning shot with 1.5 seconds left and sending WOLL to the regional final against Southfield Christian. WOLL is hands down the team to beat in Class D as they continue to find ways to win regardless of their opponent or the situation. The winner between WOLL and Cardinal Mooney in their regional has made it to the state championship game in three out of the last four years.
Auburn Hills Avondale continues to roll as they took down Romeo in impressive fashion, holding the Bulldogs to just 11 first half points and proving that they can score as well, putting up 33 points in the second half in their 49-34 win.
Farmington Hills Mercy continues to mow down their opponents in the playoffs as the Marlins shut down a dangerous Hartland team. Janelle McQueen was, simply put, a force for Mercy, dropping in a county-high 26 points on Tuesday night.
Birmingham Detroit Country Day again proved why they are widely considered as the best team in the state, with a combination of balance and depth, the Yellowjackets put away Harper Woods Chandler Park early thanks to a 12-2 first quarter and 10 players showing up in the scorebook as they cruised to a 59-39 win.
