Well it is the end of June and I thought I would throw out my order of finish based on what I have seen in summer ball thus far. It looks as if most of the teams are done for the summer. I do believe that Milan and Riverview are still competing over at the Romulus Summer League.
1)Riverview
2)Milan
3)Huron
4)SMCC
5)Grosse Ile
6)Flat Rock
7)Jefferson
8)Airport
This should give us a little something to chew on.

Woodhaven Summer League
I had a chance today to get out and see Flat Rock, Jefferson and Huron today at the Woodhaven Summer League.
Jefferson seemed to be getting comfortable with 2nd year head coach Jon Scharf. The Bears looked like they were missing a few bodies but were led by the athletic Jacob Sterling. Sterling knocked down a handful of shots while running the offense for Jefferson.
Flat Rock was led by senior Tim Cottongim. He seeemed to get open looks and get to the basket numerous times. Senior Rashard Wade looked solid at times especially when attacking the basket.
Huron looks as if they will be a solid team again this season. The Chiefs handled Woodhaven with ease and slipped by a big physical Annapolis squad by one. Huron was led by guards Jesse Wint and Nick Corbiel.

Woodhaven Summer Ball
I stopped by the Woodhaven summer league today and was able to catch some of the Flat Rock/Riverview match up.
The Rams appear to be young and undersized but look like they have some quickness and athleticism. The Bucs looked pretty solid behind the play of Brad Stewart and Mike Kowalski. They have plenty of size and athleticism and will be you typical Riverview team this year. They hammered the boards and really look to play the passing lanes.
I'm not sure what the final score ended up. Flat Rock led at halftime but Riverview pulled away and seemingly won by double digits.
On another note, the game was officiated by former Airport coaches Ernie Sellers and Spencer Roecker. The two looked in mid-season form and appear the have the makings of a good solid officiating unit.

Summer Ball Up and Running.
This weekend kicked off the summer high school basketball season. Two of the league favorites for next season, Riverview and Milan were at Westland John Glenn to play in one of the better area summer league/tournaments.
Both teams fared pretty well over the weekend. The Big Reds went 3-1 during the weekend against some solid competition and were playing without some of their better players.
Riverview also went 3-1 against Class A competition and were led by their returning 1st team all-leaguer Brad Stewart.
Milan and Riverview will both be part of the upcoming Woodhaven League and then will move onto the ultra competitive Romulus Summer League where some of the best teams in the state will be playing.
Defending Class B champs Detroit Country Day and Class C champs Melvindale ABT are excpected to return to the Romulus League again this year.

Flat Rock's Devan Crain Signs with Goshen College
I spoke to former Flat Rock All Stater Devan Crain today and he told me he had signed with Goshen College in Indiana. From what I saw this winter in JUCO ball, this is a steal for the NAIA school.
http://goleafs.net/mens-basketball/2010/two-way-threat-devan-crain-signs-with-maple-leaf-basketball/
As you can see in the article Devan's work ethic and personality really sets him apart. These are the same qualities that Devan displayed for me while running track at Flat Rock. The first year senior was able to finish 3rd in the Division 3 State Meet in the High Hurdles.
Congrats to Devan!

Richardson Commits to Concordia
Huron's Zac Richardson committed to playing basketball and soccer at Concordia University in Ann Arbor today.
The 6'3" swing man in basketball will be taking his scoring touch to the hardwood while bringing his athleticism to the soccer field as a goalie.
Richardson was the Monroe County Region Player of the Year in soccer while leading the Chiefs to Huron League titles in both sports.
On a personal note, it was nice to see a student athlete from my Alma Mater St. John's Lutheran in Waltz head on to get a college education at a quality Lutheran University.
