FINAL FOUR BOUND
Brother Rice and Auburn Hills Avondale Advance to State Semifinals
Two Metro Detroit programs punched their tickets to the MHSAA Boys Basketball State Semifinals Tuesday night. Brother Rice and Auburn Hills Avondale both delivered strong performances in their State Quarterfinal matchups to earn trips to the Breslin Center.
Brother Rice Rolls Past Wayne Memorial
Brother Rice dominated its quarterfinal matchup, defeating Wayne Memorial 88–59 at University of Detroit Mercy.
The Warriors came out aggressive early, building a 25–11 first-quarter lead behind strong offensive execution and tight defense. Their ability to force turnovers and convert fast-break opportunities allowed them to control the pace throughout the game.
Brother Rice now advances to the State Semifinals with momentum on its side.
Player Spotlight:
Curtis Britton (#4) – West Bloomfield
Curtis Britton delivered a standout performance in West Bloomfield’s 62–56 victory at the Chris Webber Best of Michigan Tournament, finishing with 20 points and taking control during a pivotal third-quarter run.
Britton scored efficiently at all three levels, attacking gaps in the defense and knocking down timely shots as West Bloomfield extended its lead coming out of halftime. His ability to create offense when it mattered most helped shift momentum firmly in WB’s favor.
Beyond the scoring, Britton set the tone defensively — applying ball pressure, forcing turnovers, and turning defense into transition opportunities. His composure and two-way leadership played a major role in West Bloomfield closing the game out late.
Stat Line: 20 points
Impact: Momentum-changing third quarter, two-way leadership
