FIVE FOR FIGHTING – Top outings on the hardwood from the Birmingham Brother Rice hoop squad in its 60-59 OT upset of Orchard Lake St. Mary's Sunday………and there were a lot of them, believe me!!
1 Patrick Sparks – The senior captain and savvy vet played like just that, busting loose for a team-high 16 points and just giving the Orange Crush that little edge with his on-court leadership it needed to get the DUB…The FireCracker goes BOOM again!!!
2 Delano Madison – The fearless and lightning fast Warriors junior floor general was as rock-solid as you could ask for from a guy making his first start. Madison hit the game-winning free throws with 35 seconds left and registered eight points, five assists and four steals in a gritty performance that was nothing but heart
3 Dominic Downs – The definition of a "gutty gamer" and "primetime playmaker"….this nails-tough junior off-guard has hit numerous clutch shots in his time in a Rice uniform and Sunday brought more, with DSQUARED dialing long-distance to tie things up and send it into its extra frame
4 Drew Gallagher – Who does this kid think he is STEPH CURRY?.....Gallagher was a one-man wrecking crew off the bench, drilling some critical 3s, connecting on a big-time lay-up and snatching a pair of key steals down the stretch
5 Kevin Hayes – Long, lean and mean, Hayes notched 12 points and grabbed 5 points, not to mention came up with a stifling defensive effort on the final possession of the game, shadow-locking St. Mary's superstar Teddy McCree and not allowing him to even touch the rock. In that five seconds, it was liking watching SCOTTIE PIPPEN…….YEAH I SAID IT!!!
