Holiday Tournament Recap.
Girls
OAK PARK 50 St. Clair Shores South Lake 48.
The Knights have proven they are going to be a team that Berkley and Rochester are going to need to pay attention too. Oak Park beat the Cavaliers 50-48 on Friday morning at Detroit Westfield Prep. They came back from seven points down at one point in the game and beat a very good St. Clair Shores South Lake squad. The Knights sent a message to the Blue after beating Seaholm 48-41 last week on their home floor. Oak Park was led by Kyla Wilson whom had 26 points and the emergence of Tamyra Todd. Todd had 16 points. The Knights are 3-1 on the season and will play Bloomfield Hills on Monday at Detroit University Prep.
Waterford Mott 59, GROVES 38.
The Falcons looked good in beating Bloomfield Hills and Oxford but they took on a Waterford Mott squad that is good but they have had their ups and downs. Groves did not look very good against the Corsairs as they fell 59-38 on Friday afternoon in their own classic on their home floor. The Falcons did have some starters not play due to the break and were short handed. Waterford Mott had four players score in double figures. The Falcons could be in some trouble heading into the new year.

Avondale only scored nine points in the fourth quarter which didn't help their cause. They sit at 3-4 on the season heading into 2020.

Boys
WEST BLOOMFIELD 62, Detroit Mumford 60.
The Lakers have made it a habit by beating Detroit schools in past years (they are 2-0 this season, beat Detroit University Prep 65-62.) West Bloomfield trailed for most of the game against Detroit Mumford (trailed 39-35 at the end of third quarter) but they found a way to win virtually a road game in a tough environment. The Lakers scored 27 points in the fourth quarter to stun the Mustangs 69-65 in the Detroit Public School League Holiday Classic at Detroit Cass Tech on Friday. Ryan Hurst and Kipras Blazevicous were difference makers. Hurst had 23 points while Blazevicous had 11 points and Travis Reese added seven points. West Bloomfield who has played a brutal schedule is now 3-1 on the season.

Detroit Communication of Media Arts 61, TROY ATHENS 44.
The Red Hawks could not overcome the Pharaohs on Friday afternoon at Ferndale as they fell 61-44 in the Motor City Roundball Classic. Detroit Communication of Media Arts now has wins over two OAA schools (Farmington, 70-68 in double overtime) and Troy Athens.) They could see another OAA school in Ferndale on the the Eagles home court in the postseason. The Red Hawks had a good day from forward Michael Justice. He had 14 points to lead them in scoring but they couldn't get anyone else going against the Pharaohs as they kept Bryce Eaton, Davis Giovinacci, and Jacob Thornton in check. The Red Hawks now sit at 2-2 and will play Utica Eisenhower next Friday night at home.

CLARKSTON 87, Roseville 66.
The Wolves bounced back after a tough 68-55 loss to Orchard Lake St. Marys last week by pulling off an impressive 87-66 win over Roseville in the Holiday Extravaganza on Friday night at North Farmington. Fletcher Loyer led Clarkston with 42 points (six threes) while Matt Nicholson added 15 points and 10 rebounds while Cole Donchez had 13 points. I'm very concerned with the Wolves depth by going eight deep, that could hurt come postseason time though.

Orchard Lake St. Marys 73, FARMINGTON 54.
The Falcons had a very tough matchup in the Holiday Extravaganza at North Farmington against Orchard Lake St. Marys. The Eaglets blew out Farmington 73-54 on Friday night. Orchard Lake St. Marys is a solid program. The Falcons have another tough matchup looming when they play Detroit Martin Luther King on Sunday at the Motor City Roundball Classic in Ferndale.
Chicago Lincoln Park 73, FERNDALE 56.
The Eagles only scored 24 points in the second half as they fell to their second straight Chicago school in Chicago Lincoln Park 73-56 on Friday night in the Motor City Roundball Classic on their home floor.

Royal Oak snapped a two game losing streak in the process and will look to get on a winning streak before heading into 2020.

Howell 36, BLOOMFIELD HILLS 21.
The Blackhawks could not find their three point shooting on Saturday afternoon in the Motor City Roundball Classic against Howell at Ferndale. It became a defensive slug fest where both teams struggled to find their game. It was the Highlanders that found a way to win 36-21. Bloomfield Hills played a back to back which didn't help things either after losing to Detroit Western 54-47 on Friday night. The Blackhawks now stand at 4-2 and their schedule doesn't get any easier from here on out.

OAK PARK 70, Dayton Thurgood Marshall 67.
The Knights almost blew a ten point third quarter lead against Dayton Thurgood Marshall on Saturday night in Lima, Ohio but they did survive winning 70-67 over a solid Thurgood Marshall team. Oak Park does have a ton of balance besides Maliq Carr who is expected to enroll at Purdue in January for football and basketball. It will be very interesting to see what the Knights do without Carr for the rest of the season.
SOUTHFIELD ARTS AND TECH 63, Detroit University Prep 58.
The Warriors continued their magical start by beating a very good Detroit University Prep squad at the Motor City Roundball Classic in Ferndale. Southfield Arts and Tech is a sleeper to watch in the White and they are 5-0 on the season. Jalin Lee had 26 points and seven assists in the victory. Expect the Warriors to make a ton of noise.
Marine City Cardinal Mooney 48, ROYAL OAK 46.
The Ravens had a ton of chances to pull it off on Marine City Cardinal Mooney's home gym on Saturday night in the championship game of the Marine City Cardinal Mooney Holiday Tournament. The Cardinals found a way to beat Royal Oak 48-46 sending them to 2-4 on the season. That's not a good omen for the Ravens heading in the Blue and moving forward.
Cleveland Heights Lutheran East 66, FERNDALE 59.
The Eagles had a tough matchup against Cleveland Heights Lutheran East on Sunday night in Lima, Ohio but it was Cleveland Heights Lutheran East that came out with a 66-59 win. Ferndale trailed 46-44 after three quarters but was outscored 20-15 in the fourth which sent the Eagles to 1-3 on the season. Ferndale will look to turn things around heading into league play in 2020.
Saginaw 45, TROY 36.
The Colts had a tough time in the fourth quarter limited to eight points in a 45-36 loss to Saginaw on Sunday night in the Motor City Roundball Classic at Ferndale. The Trojans used a 16-3 run to take the lead and eventually hold on throughout the game. Brody Parker led Troy with 20 points but the Colts couldn't get any other help besides Parker in the game. Freddie McIntosh led Saginaw with 21 points. Troy will head into the new year as one of the favorites in the White despite suffering their first loss of the season.

Detroit Martin Luther King 70, FARMINGTON 29.
Now I'm not going to knack on the Crusaders, I know they are very good and talented but I was really disappointed with how the Falcons played on Sunday night in the Motor City Roundball Classic at Ferndale. Farmington just did not compete and it showed against Detroit Martin Luther King. The Falcons had a really poor start and just wasn't competitive the whole night. If I'm Falcons coach Terrance Porter, I would be very disappointed and humiliated by that performance. This team has talented players in Jaden Atkins and Terrell Humes but for them to score 29 points total is not a good feeling. Farmington has to play their arch rival in North Farmington next Friday. They need to fix some things between now and next Friday.

PONTIAC 54, Detroit Cornerstone 38.
The Phoenix picked up their first victory in the Damion O'Neal era at Pontiac when they beat Detroit Cornerstone 54-38 in the Motor City Roundball Classic at Ferndale on Monday morning. The Phoenix have a tough one to start 2020 when they play at Clarkston on Thursday.
