Role Players Step Up in Lakers' Girls Tourney Win

The West Bloomfield High School girls varsity basketball team beat Rochester by 17 to win the Rochester Holiday Classic for the second straight season.

West Bloomfield High School girls basketball head coach Steve Larkin knows that star guard Sydni Davis can't beat other teams with her statistics alone. The Lakers varsity girls basketball team's 44-27 victory over Rochester Friday in the Rochester Holiday Classic was a testament to role players stepping up in the box score, according to a report in MI Prep Zone. Davis led the Lakers with 14 points, seven rebounds, six assists, and six steals, but stepping up as well were Ashley Zeigler with 10 points and Jenny Cabaravdic, who added eight points and led the team with nine rebounds.

Run and Gun: West Bloomfield Girls Basketball Ready To Go

Coach hopes trio of experienced guards and up tempo offense can help keep Lakers competitive in tough Oakland Activities Association Red division.

It won’t be an easy road to success for the West Bloomfield High School girls basketball team this season.  After an 11-3 overall, second-place finish in the Oakland Activities Association White division last year, the Lakers (1-0) were bumped up to the Red division in the offseason. “Every night is going to be tough,” West Bloomfield head coach Stephen Larkin said. The Red features three teams — Clarkston, Avondale and Southfield Lathrup — that made it to regionals last year. Lathrup was undefeated in the OAA Red and Avondale moved up with the Lakers after it went undefeated in the White. Stoney Creek and Troy Athens also bring back some top talent. “You can’t afford to have a bad night against any of them,” Larkin said. “It’s very …
