Class A

 

Southfield v AA Huron - 1 pm Breslin Center

 

This one is going to be a classic! Both squads are hungry, hella-talented and ultra-aggressive, and I would be shocked if this game didn't go down to the final shot. Carlton Brundidge and Pee Wee Barnes will be Carlton Brundidge and Pee Wee Barnes, but the difference in this one will be the Blue Jays frontcourt of juniors, Patrick Onwenu, Jaylon Floyd and Landan Atterberry. These guys will be to active and athletic for the River Rats to handle. Don't forget about seldom-used reserve center, David Dawson, who came out of the team's Elite Eight win over Warren De La Salle with 10 points and six rebounds and could be a force to be reckoned with on Friday afternoon. "The Money Man" ......er......Big Pat...aka "Mucho Dinero"  ]Onwenu puts back a Brundidge miss in the lane with under 5 secs left to win this one for Southfield.

Class B

 

DCD v. Muskegon Heights - 6 pm Breslin Center

 

Amir Williams, the Yellowjacket's mammoth post presence will dominate the paint and that will open things up for Ray McCallum, Lee Bailey, and Mahesh "The Rifleman" Umansekar on the outside. Muskegon Heights couldn't have picked a worse time to playing with less than a fully-loaded arsenal - all-state center, Julian Plummer has been hampered with an ankle injury the past two games. DCD's "Big Dandy" aka "Big Deal" er......Williams will exploit this weakness in the Tigers attack. This is not to say that Muskegon Heights wont test the 'Jackets...er....Keener Kage Krew on Friday. Jamil Thornton, Dante Williams and Deontay Hudson will alll pick up the slack for Plummer, who will suit up, but it won't be enough. "The Riflemen" nails another 4 triples, Williams goes for 20/20, and Keener and Country Day is on their way to playing for the prorgam's 8th state championship.
