Waverly wins at CMU
Bank Hoops - High School
We haven't heard much from Lansing Waverly since the 2000 Class A tournament, when the Warriors, led by Marcus Taylor and Cortney Scott, won the state title. It's not quite the same, but there's reason to be optimistic after Waverly won its division of the Central Michigan University Shootout on Saturday, defeating East Grand Rapids in the final.

A 2009 Class B semifinalist, Bridgeport made the championship game in the other bracket, losing to Toledo Waite.

Bank Hoops - High School

Michigan is looking to add a wing to its 2010 recruiting class. Any number of candidates were at Crisler Arena for the second-annual U-M Elite Camp, including Roy Marble Jr. of Southfield-Lathrup, Devin Oliver of Kalamazoo Central, Josh Herbeck of Ann Arbor Richard, and out-of-staters like Tim Hardaway Jr. and Allen Payne. But the top of the bunch turned out to be one without an offer, 6-foot-7 Holt senior Cole Darling. Friday he was the third best player in the gym, and Manny Harris and Mike Gansey weren't playing.

Gauna vs. Petros at Oakland team camp
Bank Hoops - High School
With the U.s of Michigan and Detroit getting in on the June game thanks to coaches who actually give a damn, the competition is tougher the last couple years. But Oakland University continues to bring in top-flight talent for its team camp. For example, where else could you find the state's Nos. 1 and 2 ranked senior centers going head-to-head, but at the O-Rena on Sunday? Those would be future Spartan Alex Gauna, 6-foot-9 from Eaton Rapids, and 6-10 Corey Petros from Utica Eisenhower. A surprisingly energetic Petros won the battle, with 17 points and 7 rebounds, and Ike won the war as well against an improving Eaton Rapids team that will be as good as its guard play.

Izzo Shootout Notes
Bank Hoops - High School

EAST LANSING -- Annually one of the most enjoyable events of the summer, the Izzo Shootout was anything but in 2009 due to the tragic passing of Dorian Dawkins, the rising freshman point guard and son of Saginaw coach Lou Dawkins.

But the games went on, and there were some standout players, as one would suspect when may of the state's top teams congregate Future Spartan Keith Appling led his Detroit Pershing team to the championship game, where the Doughboys fell to Chicago Whitney Young. Say what you will about Mr. Basketball Derrick Nix, but Pershing certainly could've used the big fella's help on the glass against Whitney Young's big frontline.
