Auburn Hills Avondale has decided to part ways with its boys basketball coach, Tim Webb.

Former OL St. Mary's standout big fella, Quaran Jones is currently enrolled at defending Class C state champion, Melvindale ABT. Jones will be eligible to play at the start of next season as a junior.

Highlights from "The Motown Showdown" AAU hoops tournament that took place last weekend:

- In Team Detroit's (16-and under) 61-28 blowout win over the Columbus Cougars, MH Madison's Damon Bozeman scored 14 points and snared eight rebounds.

- Even though his Team Detroit (17-and under) squad lost to the Chicago Express, North Farmington led the team in scoring with 16 points, while grabbing nine boards.

- Down in the younger bracket (14-and under), some local talent shined bright and proved that the blue chip pipeline into Kurt Keener's DCD Yellowjacket program is still running at full-strength. Freshman Yellowjackets, Edmond Sumner and Morie Diane, led Team Detroit to a convincing 86-46 defeat of the Ohio Gators and then a hard-fought 77-60 besting of crosstown-foe The Detroit Family.

Not only does my boy, Kenny "Extra Crispy" Knight, have a scholarship on the football field to Central Michigan, he also has one for basketball from head coach Ernie Ziegler to come and play alongside his highly-recruited son, Trey.
