BOZEMAN KEEPS FILLING IT UP, TRIGGERS EAGLES TRIUMPH

Oakland County's leading scorer was at it again Wednesday night.

Madison Heights Madison's Damon Bozeman poured in 30 points to lead the Eagles to a come from behind 65-58 win over Warren Woods Tower.

Madison, now 3-1 on the year, fell behind at halftime only to roar back strong late to snatch the victory behind the play of Bozeman and senior guard Nick Wallace, who scored a season-high 22 points.

Wallace put up 12 points in the third quarter, where Madison outscored WWT 22-14.

As a junior last season on the football field, Wallace quarterbacked the Eagles to a district title.

Bozeman is averaging 28 points per game. A four-year varsity letter-winner on the hardwood, Bozeman has made a successful transition from the post to the perimeter the past year and a half. When he started at the power forward spot as a sophomore back in 2010, he was a virtual walking double-double on the block.

Realizing he would need to play in the backcourt at the college level, Bozeman worked to sharpen up his outside game and has done so in spades. Last year, he averaged 24 points per night and hit over 40 percent from 3-point range.  

On Wednesday, Bozeman threw down the first slam dunk of his career on a second-half breakaway.

Senior floor general William Bradley registered an overall solid outing running Madison offense and recorded eight points, eight assists and four steals on the evening.
