One month from today, we will be one victory away from the dream Class C matchup: No. 1 Flint Beecher vs. No. 2 Detroit Allen in the semifinals at the Breslin Center.

Flint Beecher’s Aquavius Burks raises the Class C state championship trophy on March 28, 2015 in East Lansing.

“I actually expected to see them at the Breslin last year,” said Mike Williams, coach of two-time defending state champ Beecher. “We scrimmaged them, and it went down to the wire.”

Allen coach Craig Covington figures a Beecher-Allen showdown next month would be a contrast in styles.

“I believe they’re more defensive-minded than we are,” Covington said. “I think we probably can score better than they can because we can score from different positions on the floor. If we meet up, it’s going to be one of those games that (is about) who takes care of the ball, who handles possessions better and who handles each other’s pressure.”

The only thing standing in the way of that semifinal matchup is the road to East Lansing for both teams resembles a mine field.

It isn’t outrageous to suggest that No. 1 Beecher and No. 2 Allen could both be out of the tournament after playing one district game.

And if they each survive district play, there are even better teams waiting in the regional.

“I think it’s the most competitive tournament this year,” Williams said of Class C. “You’ve got the top teams, and everybody’s going to knock everybody out early.”

Beecher must open at once-beaten Flint Hamady. And on the other side of the district bracket, Burton Bendle and Atherton have three losses combined.

“The dynamics of those schools have changed just like the dynamics of the schools around Detroit,” Williams said. “They will be more athletic, and they’re very good because of the city schools around Flint have closed, a lot of the city kids have migrated to the suburbs.”

The reason the Beecher-Allen game never materialized last season was Allen was eliminated by Highland Park on opening night. This time, Allen will play the winner of the Detroit Loyola-Detroit Southeastern game, which will be anything but an easy win. Waiting beyond that is the winner of the Detroit Edison-Pershing game.

“They came in this year motivated because of that situation,” Covington said of last season’s one-and-done. “If we play defense like we’ve been playing lately, we have a real good chance of coming out of our side of the bracket.”

Once-beaten Monroe St. Mary Catholic Central could give Allen another battle at the regional level, and then teams like Pewamo-Westphalia, NorthPointe Christian and Hanover-Horton are possible quarterfinal opponents.

And that’s just to get a shot at Beecher in the semifinals.

But Allen is talented enough to beat all of those teams. Led by 6-foot-8 Danny Pippen (Kent State) and point guard Jason Williams (East Tennessee State), Allen has senior leadership as well as more firepower in 6-4 junior DreQuan Bell and freshman guard Mark Watts, who scored 24 points in a game last week.

Williams showed his offensive potential last week when he scored 17 in the fourth quarter.

“He doesn’t have to do it — he picks and chooses his spots,” Covington said. “Last year, when Pippen was hurt most of the season, he had to score for us to win.”

Pippen is recovering from an ankle sprain, and he needs to be a factor for Allen to reach the semifinals and Beecher.

“He’s such a force on the inside with blocking shots and rebounding it’s hard to keep him off the court because of his defensive presence,” Covington said. “Offensively, he just rolls with the flow.”

Beecher could have its toughest challenge in the regional when it should face No. 4 Southfield Christian, a team talented enough to win the state title.

“Coach was at our game the other night, so he is preparing for us,” Williams said. “That’s going to be like a state championship game within itself.”

This Beecher team doesn’t light up scoreboards like it did last season, but Aquavius Burks and Mark Ellison are capable offensive players.

“We are a very good team this year, though we don’t have the same offensive power that we had last year.” William said. “We’re a bigger team than we were, and we’re more experienced and we play a little bit tougher defense.”

Host Lutheran Westland needed to rally late against Sterling Heights Parkway for an 82-74 victory Tuesday night.

Preps!

Westland started hot in the first 4 minutes, but Parkway Christian’s Micah McClain took over afterward, carrying his squad to an eight-point lead at halftime.

However, the second half — and the Michigan Independent Athletic Conference Red Division crown — belonged to Westland (18-0).

The Warriors started the third quarter with a 9-0 run, the spark beginning with Zachary Burk’s hustle, including multiple put-back baskets. Burk finished with 41 points and 19 rebounds.

McClain ended the run after 3 minutes, but his 33-point effort on the night ended up not being enough for Parkway (12-5).

“We gotta rebound better and keep our heads,” McClain said. “Watch the fouls and get boards.”

Parkway coach Joe Kalczynski said his team lost its composure in the second half. “A couple calls didn’t go our way, and our boys didn’t respond with enough mental toughness to combat the spiral,” he said. “Credit to Westland, though, they played tougher than we did, and their interior defense was better than ours.”

Two technical fouls late in the third quarter shifted the momentum to the Warriors.

Westland coach Jim Hoeft said his team was struggling in transition in the first half.

“This is almost a microcosm of how we played them the first time in January,” he said, “our defense-to-offense transition had trouble getting going.”

Westland outscored Parkway, 48-32, in the second. Senior Brent Croft hit a three-pointer with 3:53 left to put the Warriors up seven, and they never looked back.

“They pulled off their press in the second half, and that helped us a lot,” Hoeft said.

Hoeft noted that he was happiest with his team’s resolve and maturity. “They have their lulls, but they tend to come back and show me that they want it,” he said.

Lutheran Westland continues its run for an undefeated season at Warren Macomb Christian on Friday. The Warriors beat Macomb by 51 last Friday.

Gage Kreski: Also a safety.

In December 2012, St. Ignace began its season against Cedarville, one of the best teams in the Upper Peninsula.

St. Ignace’s Gage Kreski was only a freshman, but he had earned a spot in the starting lineup.

The first time the Saints got the ball, Kreski flashed into the high post, received a pass, drove to the basket and scored.

Nothing to this high school basketball, he thought.

“I did actually think that, for a second,” he said, laughing. “And then we got smoked.”

Little did he know, but those first two points were the beginning of a tremendous high school career, one in which Kreski, 6 feet 3, has become one of the most prolific scorers in state history and only the fifth U.P. player to surpass 2,000 points.

“I knew I could get it after my junior year,” he said. “I kind of figured I was going to get it, but I really don’t care how much I score, I want my team to win.”

Kreski is in a catch-22 of sorts. He scores a lot of points because he is trying to help his team win. If he didn’t score a lot, the Saints (15-2) would not win.

As he progressed through high school, Kreski emerged as a flat-out scorer, averaging 29.8 points this season, but he isn’t a pure shooter. He does not sit behind the three-point line and launch bomb after bomb.

Kreski is more of a blue-collar scorer. He drives to the basket, grabs offensive rebounds, posts up smaller guards and even takes on bigger guys and turns steals into lay-ups.

He has spent countless hours with coach Doug Ingalls perfecting ways to put the ball in the basket. “Coach Ingalls taught me a lot of stuff that helps out with the scoring,” he said. “Dribble driving and baseline moves to dribbling to shoot … anything, Coach Ingalls taught me all that stuff.”

That is why surpassing the 2,000-point mark didn’t have Kreski doing somersaults.

“I’m not surprised, but a lot of the points came from my teammates getting steals and all that,” he said. “I didn’t make all the points — my teammates helped me out a lot.”

Five prep hoopsters with double-doubles, wins last week

Speaking of steals, Kreski is pretty good at that, too. He is the state’s best of all time.

Last month he surpassed the career record of 363 steals held by Pinckney’s Matt Taylor (1997-2000) and has 421 entering tonight’s game at Cheboygan.

“It helps to have good hands,” he said. “Anticipating and being in the right spot. I guess its court awareness.”

Kreski’s first love was basketball, but in the fall he will be a safety on Central Michigan’s football team.

“I’ve worked really hard at basketball, I know that,” he said. “I love football, and my body is kind of cut out to be football player a little more. I work really hard at football, too.”

With 2,067 points, three regular-season games and at least one state playoff game left, Kreski has an excellent chance to surpass the U.P. record of 2,140 Dom Jacobetti scored for Negaunee St. Paul in 1962-65.

“It’s a big deal, but like I said, it’s more important to be winning games right now than worrying about a scoring record,” Kreski said. “If we’re winning games, I have to score a bunch, so that’s just going to come.”

McCabe: St. Ignace goes on a bittersweet playoff run

Pioneer senior guard T.J. Roberts hit four free throws in final minute to seal the 70-66 win over Huron.

Ann Arbor Huron took a four-game winning streak into Friday at Ann Arbor Pioneer in a Southeastern Conference Red matchup which went down to the wire.

With timely three-point shots and clutch late-game free throw shooting, Pioneer (16-3, 8-1 SEC Red) was able to secure a 70-66 victory over the River Rats (14-4, 7-1) despite turning the ball over 16 times against the River Rats’ vaunted full court press.

“The defense they played was a high-risk, high-reward defense,” Pioneer coach Rex Stanczak said. “So yes, we turn the ball over some and it led to some baskets for them, but when we didn’t turn the ball over we scored. It took a while but we figured it out and fought back.”

Fought back was an understatement, as Pioneer rallied after being down as much as 15 points. The River Rats defense forced Pioneer into four turnovers in the second quarter for an 8-0 run, swelling Huron’s lead to 24-9 with 5:03 remaining in the half.

But Pioneer wouldn’t go away quietly. After cutting Huron’s lead to 33-27 at halftime, senior guard T.J. Roberts and junior forward Jordan Currie combined for 14 points in the second half to fuel the comeback.

“We went to the locker down six and coach just told us ‘we’ll be good,’ ” Roberts, who scored 22 points, said. “We had the student section behind us and we were confident we could come back and win this game.”

Pioneer built up momentum in the second half using the perimeter. Junior guard Chris McGaughy scored 15 points in the second half, including four three-pointers to keep Pioneer close. McGaughy hit a 25-footer to give Pioneer a 66-64 lead with 2:35 left in regulation.

“I’ve had a stretch of like four games where I’ve shot the ball poorly,” McGaughy explained. “I was very happy to come out here and help my team get this win and shoot well to do it.”

With the game tied at 66 in the final minute, Roberts was fouled twice and hit four free throws to seal the victory.

“I’ve been hitting free throws all season and I wanted the ball in my hands in the end.” Roberts said.

Lawrence Rowley led Huron with 16 points.

Canton’s Logan Ryan dunks against Livonia Churchill during the fourth quarter. Ryan finished with a game- high 19 points. The Chiefs (19-0) won the Kensington Conference title and play for the KLAA crown Thursday.

Canton’s Logan Ryan scored eight points in the first quarter, but after that managed only one … until it mattered most.

“It was kind of do-or-die time,” Ryan said as his team entered the fourth quarter clinging to a four-point lead. “Either they were going to make a run or we were going to make a run.”

Host Canton didn’t make a run in the fourth quarter Friday — it made a charge to give it the Kensington Conference championship with a 52-42 victory over Livonia Churchill.

The Chiefs, 19-0 for the first time in school history, will attempt to win their first Kensington Lakes Activities Association title Thursday at 7 p.m.

Leading by four, Canton’s Obi Okoli hit a jump shot to begin the fourth quarter and, after a Churchill miss, Ryan drilled a three-point shot.

Okoli stole the ball and drove the length of the court for a lay-up, and after another Churchill miss, Ryan made sure he was behind the three-point line, drilled another triple — and suddenly the Chiefs led, 44-30.

Ryan, 6 feet 7, scored 10 points in the fourth quarter and is Canton’s biggest player. But on this night he hit four three-point shots, in addition to scoring in the paint.

“I really don’t want to limit my game to inside or outside player,” Ryan said. “I try to do as much as I can to mix it up and get my teammates involved.”

In addition to a game-high 19 points, Ryan also did a nice job setting up teammates with passes for backdoor lay-ups.

“He’s a nightmare for most people,” Canton coach Jimmy Reddy said. “When Logan’s rolling, and he’s been rolling now for the better part of a month, he’s a real tough cover. He’s got a great touch, he can step out and shoot it. Even though he’s a little slight, he’s tough around the rim, too.”

Churchill (12-7) did a good job making sure Ryan was well defended over the middle two quarters, but then the fourth quarter rolled around and Ryan took command.

Canton made it difficult for Churchill to get in any kind of offensive rhythm, because for long stretches of the game it seemed like the Chiefs were playing keep-away as they took a 12-9 first-quarter lead and turned it into a 22-15 halftime edge.

“To use a football stat, the time of possession was terrible,” Livonia Churchill coach Jim Solak said. “They had three or four possessions that last a minute-and-a-half. We were talking about how we were going to score, we had to get out of the defensive zone.”

The Chiefs don’t hold the ball for long periods of time like they are in a delay game. They simply are looking for the best shot available.

“We always try to take great shots, sometimes that’s early, and sometimes it’s in transition,” Reddy said. “Churchill’s a good team, and more often than not it’s going to be four to six passes before we get a good one. This group does a great job of sharing it, and we do a pretty good job of taking great shots.”

U-D Jesuit’s Cassius Winston looks over Warren De La Salle’s Kole Gjonaj for an open teammate to pass to Sunday.

When U-D Jesuit’s Cassius Winston scored the game’s first points on a high glasser over three Warren De La Salle defenders, it was really all anyone needed to see.

When Winston had seven points 2 minutes into the contest and the Cubs led, 9-0, the Pilots already had seen enough.

The Mr. Basketball candidate paced the 19-0 Cubs to their — and his — fourth straight Catholic League crown, 70-45, Sunday at Calihan Hall. He scored a game-high 17 points while his sophomore brother, Zach, added 12, shooting 4-for-4 beyond the arc.

“They told us in the locker room, ‘Just come out aggressive,’ ” said Winston, a Michigan State signee. “I just took the opportunities that were available. A couple of good shots that I took, they went in. And brought the intensity. We all had a good game. It was a good team effort.”

Bolstered by the quick start, U-D Jesuit led by 10 after the first quarter and 18 at the half, and the Pilots (13-6) couldn’t climb out of the hole. The Cubs especially made it tough on Kevin McKay, De La Salle’s all-time leading scorer. While he led the team with 15 points Sunday, 11 came from the free-throw line, and McKay didn’t make a field goal until the third quarter.

“Against a great team like that, it was like a nightmare start” De La Salle coach Greg Esler said. “We can’t get down 20 to them or 18 at the half like we were. We wanted to get the crowd in the game, and certainly when you’re down 18, there were a lot of people looking to find the exit. It’s hard to spend so much energy against a great team like that, and I thank God No. 5 (Winston)’s done.”

It was the first time a team had won four consecutive titles in the upper division since Catholic Central (then located in Detroit) controlled the league from 1948-49 to 1951-52.

Cubs followers are used to winning by now. In Winston’s freshman year, overly enthusiastic fans prevented a postgame trophy presentation from taking place. Sunday, it was part of the routine.

“The first one after a 20-year drought seemed like it was a bigger deal, not for us, but the fans rushed the court,” coach Pat Donnelly said. “Now, it’s become a little bit of an expectation within our program.”

Winston, the only Cub to play a role in all four crowns, saw it in the same vein.

“When I first came to U-D, that was really the first goal that I wrote down, four Catholic League championships, and I just did it,” he said. “At first, U-D wasn’t known as a basketball school. Now we play basketball. That’s part of who we are. At first, we weren’t expected to win games. Now Catholic League championships, we’re supposed to do that. We’re just trying to keep that going.”

■Royal Oak Shrine 49, Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes 38: Poised play enabled the Knights to end the Lakers’ title string of two — and their own drought at 37.

Although Shrine trailed after one quarter, 13-12, it seized the lead after that, holding Lakes to single-digit scoring over the next three periods.

Junior forward Michael Niehaus scored a game-high 16 points, including the first seven after halftime.

“Usually I just do my thing, get rebounds, get assists and help the team out the best way I can,” he said, “but today I scored some points, and it was a great experience. In the first half, I was a little out of control going to the hoop, so I told myself at halftime to just calm down, get the foul and put it up, and I was happy with the way I got to the hoop.”

Here is an overview of the boys basketball state tournament, which begins today and ends March 26 at the Breslin Center. (Check out the full district schedule here.)

Detroit Western’s Josh McFolley holds the championship trophy as they celebrate after their 62-59 win over Saginaw Arthur Hill in the Class A final on March 28, 2015, in East Lansing.

Class A

Defending champ: Detroit Western. The Cowboys lost some key players from last year’s team, but got off to a terrific start before fading late in the season. It will have to get past Detroit East English Village on Wednesday just to get to the district final.

Toughest district: At East Lansing. The unbeaten host, featuring sophomore sensation Brandon Johns, has to get by a good Waverly team just to get to an even better DeWitt team in the semifinals. Haslett, with high-scoring Brandon Allen, or Grand Ledge will be waiting in the final.

Final four: U-D Jesuit, Macomb Dakota, Warren De La Salle, Grand Rapids Christian.

Player who could crash the party: Algevon Eichelberger, Saginaw. The 6-7 senior who left Saginaw after his sophomore year to play for a club team in California, returned midway through this season, and he has a double-double every game. The key could be a potential quarterfinal matchup against Macomb Dakota.

State champ: U-D Jesuit. Armed with the top player in the state in guard Cassius Winston, the Cubs should win their first state title. Having the 6-9 twin towers — Greg Eboigbodin and Ike Eke — are perfect complements for Winston. Someone is going to have to play a near perfect game to beat the Cubs.

Meet the finalists for Michigan’s Mr. Basketball

Class B

Wyoming Godwin Heights Leon Redd, left, and Essa Kellah celebrate after their 85-68 win over Detroit Henry Ford in the Class B final on March 28, 2015, in East Lansing.

Defending champ: Wyoming Godwin Heights. With four starters back, led by Leon Redd and Lamar Norman, this team has played well most of the time, except for last week’s drilling by Grand Rapids Christian. But it remains No. 1.

Toughest district: At Buchanan. Benton Harbor is the favorite, but there are a couple of other teams that could win this district. The Tigers will have to get past an excellent Dowagiac team to get to the district final where it could find Stevensville Lakeshore, a team that has underperformed most of the season but is capable of getting to the Breslin Center.

Final four: New Haven, Godwin Heights, Big Rapids, Benton Harbor.

Player who could crash the party: Austin Davis, Onsted. There is no other big man who can match up with the Michigan-bound 6-10 power player deluxe. Onsted guards will have to be able to handle pressure unlike any they have seen so far. But if they can beat the press, Davis can finish the deal.

State champ: Godwin Heights. This could be a foolish choice because Godwin Heights could be one-and-done when it takes on a very good Wayland team in the district opener tonight. But Norman is a terrific player, and Redd is the kind of steadying influence a state championship team needs.

Flint Beecher’s Aquavius Burks raises the championship trophy to the fans after their 78-52 win over Grand Rapids NorthPointe in the Class C final on March 28, 2015, in East Lansing.

Class C

Defending champ: Flint Beecher. The Bucs will be seeking their fourth title in five years, with a different style than last year’s fire-and-fall-back outfit. This team still can score a lot of points, but it plays even better defense. The problem will be a tough tournament route.

Toughest district: At Detroit Loyola. Although the Elk Rapids district features five good teams, the Loyola district has three top-level teams, and Wednesday’s Loyola-Detroit Allen game will eliminate one of the top teams in the state. The winners will face a tough Detroit Edison team. The state champ could come from here.

Final four: Grand Rapids NorthPointe Christian, Negaunee, Flint Beecher, Detroit Allen.

Player who could crash the party: Gage Kreski, St. Ignace. How can you pass on the Upper Peninsula’s all-time leading scorer? This won’t be easy because Negaunee and Iron Mountain are excellent teams, and the Saints will have to beat both to get to the quarterfinals.

State champ: Flint Beecher. This is the least favored Beecher has been entering a tournament in several seasons. The Bucs will face two tough opponents just to get to the regional where an excellent Southfield Christian team will be waiting. If Beecher can get to the Breslin, it likely will have to face Detroit Allen in the semifinals.

Powers North Central’s Jason Whitens, with the Class D championship trophy, poses with his father, Gerald, who was on Powers North’s last championship team in 1984 after the win over Morenci in the Class D final on March 28, 2015, in East Lansing.

Class D

Defending champ: Powers North Central. This team was so much fun to watch last season in posting two impressive victories once it got to the Breslin Center.

Toughest district: At Lake Linden-Hubbell. Lake Linden is the favorite, but it will have a tough game with Dollar Bay and Ontonagon just to get to the district final, where Chassell or Painsdale-Jeffers will be waiting.

Final four: Adrian Lenawee Christian, Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes, Frankfort, Powers North Central.

Player who could crash the party: Evan Kraatz, Allen Park Inter-City Baptist. This guy is more than just a shooter, and he is a terrific shooter.

State champ: Powers North Central. Jason Whitens leads an amazingly balanced attack that doesn’t necessarily depend on one player’s scoring.

Preps!

The Warren Woods Tower and St. Clair Shores Lakeshore boys basketball game kicked off the Class A district tournament Monday afternoon with a little bit of everything — two technical fouls, including one for a player just walking into the game from the bench; a double foul called on players from each team fighting for position — even a free throw made off the glass.

What it didn’t have was much scoring, until the final quarter, when Tower senior Charles Barnes launch a rainbow three-pointer that threatened to touch the rafters but fell through the net with 1:28 remaining, giving the Titans (16-5) a two-point lead and an eventual 46-42 victory over Lakeshore (17-4).

“He’s been doing that all year,” Tower coach Nick Evola said of the three-pointer. “He’s got a lot of confidence and plays with confidence, and in March, you’ve got to play with confidence. He had struggled up to that point and got a couple silly fouls. But I pulled him aside and told him: ‘Hey, settle down, trust it, trust what we do, we need you,’ and he stepped up. He picked it up down the stretch.”

The Titans did, too. After scoring 28 points through three quarters to Lakeshore’s 30, Tower finished with an 18-12 run in the fourth.

“We talk about play the right way, do the little things and, you know what, basketball is a game of runs,” Evola said. “They went up. We went up, and I told my guys: ‘Hey, don’t worry about it, just trust what we do.’ And they trusted and they stuck with it. They believed, and we made the plays we needed to make down the stretch. Made some good free throws, and we did what we had to do.”

Missed free throws hurt Lakeshore. With 29 seconds left in the first quarter, Tower committed a foul on a three-point shot, then was called for a technical foul on the complaint. Yet Lakeshore made only one of the five free shots. The Shorians went 4-for-7 the remainder of the game.

Tower leading scorer Jauron Vicks (15 points) said the missed technical free throws helped the Titans in multiple ways.

“They’re still a great team, but that did give us a lot of confidence, kept our heads in the game, and we picked it off,” he said.

“When we were down six (late), Coach told us ‘no pressure.’ We always do situations like that in practice, like down six, down eight, down 12, and we always have to fight back so we were well prepared for it.”

Tower led, 21-18, at the half before being outscored by Lakeshore, 12-7, in the third quarter. Jovon Horton led all players with 17 points, including three three-pointers in the second half.

Taylor Kennedy’s Iland Amerson is swarmed by Belleville defenders during Monday’s state tournament game.

After Belleville’s Calvin Blaydes began the 2016 boys basketball state tournament with a three-point play, the Tigers gave up a free throw to Taylor Kennedy on the next possession.

After that, Belleville (17-4) smothered Kennedy and each time Kennedy (14-7) advanced the ball past halfcourt, it should have been awarded a point.

“We just played with intensity and they didn’t play with intensity,” explained Belleville sophomore sensation Davion Williams. “We came down and make sure we got an early run on them. We’re hungry to play Romulus again.”

That run Belleville wanted lasted 4 minutes and produced 15 straight points, leading to an easy 74-44 Class A district victory Monday night in Belleville.

As a result, the Tigers will play Romulus at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday in a rubber match after splitting two regular season games.

After missing a couple of shots on acrobatic moves that no sophomore should be able to possess, Williams settled down and scored 10 of his game-high 27 points in the first quarter.

“I always start inside and go outside,” said the 6-foot-2 Williams. “I feel if I’ve got my inside game going, my outside game will be clicking, too. If I go for ‘threes’ when I first start, I’m not clicking.”

He was clicking on this night, scoring on some breathtaking dunks as well as hitting four three-point shots against Kennedy’s zone.

“If teams haven’t seen a lot of tape on us, they figure we’re not the greatest shooters,” said Belleville coach Adam Trumpour. “But you don’t always have to settle for (perimeter) shooting against the zone. We run some other stuff where we get the ball inside and attack and move the ball a little bit and those jumpers tend to go down a little better. We’re not just a pass-pass-shoot-a-three team versus a zone. We try to still get to the rim.”

Nobody gets to the rim quite like Williams, who began his short stretch of the third quarter by taking an alley-oop pass from Javon Vinson and slamming it home.

“We were just feeling it,” Williams said with a smile. “We made eye contact and I told him: ‘Throw it up in the air.’ ”

Vinson seemed to throw the ball into the stratosphere, but Williams was able to go up and get it.

“He’s got high-major potential,” said Trumpour. “With two years left, he’s got a chance to be really, really good. Last year, he didn’t shoot it well. I think some people still think he doesn’t. He’s really improved his shooting as his sophomore season has gone on.

“I don’t know if there’s another athlete like him in the sophomore class. He’s got some ability to where he wants to play in the big moments. That’s something that’s hard to teach as well.”

The big moments in this one happened in the first quarter when an under-manned Kennedy team couldn’t handle the press with a couple of starters on the sidelines.

“Our game plan was to play much slower than we actually did,” said Kennedy coach Chad Putnam. “They upped the tempo and increased the pressure and intensity of stuff and I think we kind of fell into some traps on their end of things of playing a little too fast for our skill level and our talent tonight.”

Detroit Western senior Brailen Neely smiles after a 77-76 district semifinal win over Detroit East English at Grosse Pointe South on Wednesday, March 9, 2016.

The packed Grosse Pointe South gym was abuzz Wednesday as defending Class A state champ Detroit Western battled with Public School League champ East English Village — and players from both teams were missing easy shots, clanking free throw attempts and committing silly turnovers.

And then there was Brailen Neely.

“I’m a veteran, I’ve been here for four years,” he said. “I knew what had to happen for us to win the game. Therefore, it was done.”

Yes, he knew what to do the previous night.

“The night before I knew it would come down to this situation, so I worked on a lot of free throws,” he said. “It came down to it and it worked.”

Neely converted nine of 11 free throws in overtime to carry Western to a wild, 77-76 victory over East English Village in a Class A district semifinal game.

“It was just going through my mind that if I hit these, we win,” he said. “Simple as that.”

Neely went to the free-throw line six times in the overtime, and there was no doubt who would have the ball in his hands when the game was being decided.

“He’s a four-year starter,” said Western coach Derrick McDowell. “Of course it’s got to be in his hands.”

With the score tied, Neely milked the clock in the final 50 seconds of regulation before he drove to the basket and passed to Josh Long, who missed an open lay-up.

Long helped make up for the miss by hitting the first shot in overtime.

“We always talk about if you’re going for the last shot and you’re a good player and the ball is in your hands, you not only have got to get your shot, you’ve got to get somebody else his shot,” said McDowell. “He got Long his shot, he just missed it.”

The lay-up appeared to be at a difficult angle for Long.

“All lay-ups for Long are tough,” McDowell said. “I mean, they are. He came back and made the one to start the overtime. He kept saying: ‘My bad, I got you, I got you.’ I told him we’re running out of ‘My bads.’ ”

No. 8 East English (17-5) had plenty of chances to win the game despite falling behind by 13 points, rallying thanks to the 25-point effort of Karmari Newman.

“The bad start hurt, but over the course of the year we didn’t break some bad habits that we had,” said East English coach Juan Rickman. “A lot of what we talked about was rebounding, securing the ball at times, especially when it’s that tight and not trying to go for a home-run pass. We got some stops and steals and we treated it like a hot potato.

“Those bad habits we had the whole year caught up with us today.”

This was a foul-plagued affair and turned into a matter of survival for both teams as the fouls piled up.

Western’s Armani Tinsley did what he does best — put the ball in the basket — and finished with 20 points.

“That’s all he can do, so he better do that because he can’t do anything else,” McDowell said.

Neely finished with 28 points, converting 17 of 21 free throws. He scored 16 points in the fourth quarter and overtime.

The ride isn’t over for the Cowboys, who failed to repeat at PSL champions this season.

“Actually it feels better to win this,” Neely said. “They can go home with the City. We’re still going for the state.”

PJ Mitchell Detroit Loyola

Detroit Loyola sophomore PJ Mitchell was confident he knew the entire saga of Detroit Pershing’s basketball program.

“The history of Pershing goes on and on,” he said. “From Keith Appling to Kay Felder to all of them.”

All of them … like Spencer Haywood and Ralph Simpson and Steve Smith and Bubbles Hawkins, who are all Doughboy legends.

Pershing has won five Class A state championships while Loyola had won three … district titles.

Loyola made it district championship No. 4 Friday when the small but determined Bulldogs knocked off Pershing, 61-55, to claim a Class C district.

That’s right, Pershing is now a Class C school enrollment-wise, but it came with some prime time players like 6-foot-6 David Syfax and 6-7 Charles Manson.

“My biggest guy is 6-2, but I’ll tell you what, every guy on this team has a heart that’s 7-feet tall,” said Loyola coach Rocky Buscemi. “We’ve played against bigger teams all year.”

Romari Ennis, 6-feet, was matched against Syfax and somehow managed to hold him to eight points while scoring 11 points himself, a huge plus-three in that matchup that nobody saw coming.

“He’s a really good player, he’s probably going to go play college ball somewhere,” Ennis said. “I’m the underdog. He’s the one who’s got all the noise and all that, but I tried to get low and make it difficult for him.

“I wanted to make him dribble, make it uncomfortable for him. I wanted to make him shoot a jump shot. You can’t let him get inside because when he gets inside it’s over.”

It looked over early when Pershing (10-13) jumped to a quick 6-0 lead while the Bulldogs acted as if they were intimidated by the Public School League team.

“I think there were a little nerves coming out, but then they guys started to settle in a little bit,” said Buscemi. “Without question it was our defense. All a sudden guys woke up and realized they were playing for a championship and the other team was, too.”

Mitchell hit a jump shot to get Loyola (18-5, No. 6) on the board and the Bulldogs led, 13-12, at the end of the first quarter.

Jaylen Hill scored seven of his 12 points in the second quarter and Loyola had a 31-20 halftime advantage.

Pershing roared back in the fourth quarter behind D’Juan Seal (22 points) and Ron Hill (12) before Syfax’s monster jam tied the game with 2:33 left.

But Mitchell penetrated and calmly made a perfect inside pass to Hill, who converted a three-point play with 2:05 left.

“I drove through the lane and I saw the defense come up,” Mitchell said. “I just dished it through like I’ve been doing all season long.”

That set Loyola on an 8-2 run to wrap up the district and earn a spot in Monday’s regional at Ecorse.

Mitchell topped Loyola with 17 points, and his refusal to panic against Pershing’s press was crucial.

“He’s steady and he’s still learning a lot,” said Buscemi. “But he makes big plays at big times. Sometimes, as a coach, you forget he’s a sophomore; pull my hair out with some questionable shots sometimes, but it’s part of the process.”
