Reviewing some of Monday's surprising upsets:
Novi Detroit Catholic Central’s convincing double-digit win over last year’s state runners up Ann Arbor Huron might have been the most impressive team performance of the playoffs thus far. Not surprisingly, Catholic Central continues to play their usual tough lock-down defense, holding Huron to just 1-17 shooting from behind the 3-point line. Once again, the Shamrock’s got huge contributions from Brandon Tammaro and Matt Doneth who scored 18 and 17 points respectively. Catholic Central now looks to a showdown in Wednesday’s regional final with familiar foe Orchard Lake Saint Mary’s who made easy work of Hartland on Monday night.
Rochester Adams, had what was possibly the most exciting win of the night, knocking off Pontiac in overtime after senior Nick Zekaj hit a buzzer beating 3-pointer tie up the game at the end of the fourth. Then, the Highlanders seemed to control the entire overtime period and holding Pontiac at bay until the final moments of the game. The Highlanders survived the one-man-show that was Anthony Adams, who went off for a career-high and Pontiac school record 45 points. If Adams wants to advance to the quarterfinals, they’ll have to play the role of giant killers one more time as they take on Southfield on Wednesday.
Clarkston’s road to the Breslin Center just got a little bit easier after Bay City Western pulled off a stunner by knocking off the number four team in the state, Saginaw. Bay City Western is no pushover though, currently holding a 22-2 mark, it should be a must-see match-up between two red hot teams looking to take the next step to making an appearance at the Breslin.
