Local boys hoopsters slated to be on hand at the annual Reaching Higher Showcase this week hosted by Milford High School:

Michael Flowers (Southfield Jr. SG) – Blooming into a star in the backcourt

Miguel Priest (Southfield Sr. F) – Wonder on the wing just reaching his stride, really impressing the scouts this summer

Jordan Graham (Farmington Sr. F) – Simply a STRAIGHT G, savvy swingman putting in work for TEAM PORTER

Spencer Littleson (RH Adams Sr. G/F) – Swagger Level has hit the stratosphere, please spread the word

Joey Ziniti (RH Adams Sr. G) – Za Za = Bang Bang from DOWNTOWN, any questions?

David Rinke (RH Adams Sr. C) – Quiet and injury-plagued transfer year last season as a junior but could be the best pure big fella in the OAA in 2016

Kevin McAdoo (West Bloomfield Jr. F) – Can you say an ALL-OF-A-SUDDEN Scottie Pippen to Action Jackson's MJ this winter?

Cass Phillips (Lakeland Soph C) – Emerging force in the paint for TEAM BRUGGER, expect major things from this major-league riser on the blocks

Eric Unger (AH Oakland Christian Sr. G/F) – Quiet assassin in the area's small-school ranks

Brock Washington (Southfield Christian Jr. F) – All-State-bound, active around the rim and on the wing,  

Kyle Woodruff (Holly Sr. G) – CASH MONEY is the best way to describe this kid's game!!
