Four Huron players scored in double digits in a battle of teams with state finals aspirations.
Detroit Country Day had a 20-17 lead after first quarter, but Huron (2-0) outscored Detroit Country Day 21-11 in the second.

Detroit Country Day's Asia Doss had 23 points and teammate Brittany Washington had 20 points.
"Both of us were getting up and down and scoring early," Vinson said of the two teams. "We just did a better job in the driving lanes, taking care of the basketball."

Jasmine Jones had a game-high 15 points as Ypsilanti improved to 3-0 with the win. The Phoenix did most of their damage in the second quarter, when they put up 22 points and only allowed five.
"After the first quarter, we got in line with our (full-court) press and got where we needed to be," Ypsilanti coach Chris Slater said. "We got our steals and better shots because of that."

Huron's Coach Vinson is a wonderful leader and a credit to his community. That victory over Country Day was accomplished with key squad members under discipline. Coach Steve is a man of principle and will not cut corners to win. Go Rats!!
