Birmingham Detroit Country Day center Amir Williams and Southfield guard Carlton Brundidge are two of the best high school players in the state and nation, and that was validated by the fact Williams finished third and Brundige took fourth in the voting for the Mr. Basketball Award on Monday.
The winner of the award was Dwaun Anderson of Suttons Bay, while Detroit Southeastern guard Brandon Kearney finished second.
Even though they didn't win, it was stil nice recognition for Williams and Brundidge and Kosmo salutes. Both are still alive in the state basketball tournament as well, so while not winning the Mr. Basketball trophy, each could win state championship trophies.
- It's hard to believe there won't be no more Lauren Robak to follow at Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes, but that's the case now after Robak played her final high school game on Saturday in a 53-35 win over Bark River-Harris in the Class D final.
It was the second straight title for the Lakers, who might not see a player like Robak for quite a while.
She was the team's best player as a freshman and helped lead WOLL to three straight Catholic League title. The good news is that she'll be playing college at Oakland University, so it'll be more opportunity to follow a special player.
