Last week I wrote an article speculating on the collegiate future of Rockford’s Ryan Majerle, after he was seen snooping around the Toledo campus. He had previously verbally committed to play at the University of Wisconsin Green-Bay, so his presence on campus was clearly noteworthy. Add to that my excitement [...]

Word on the street has it that Rockford’s Ryan Majerle is looking seriously at playing basketball at Toledo University, after he had earlier verbally committed to playing at the University of Wisconsin Green-Bay. (New Toledo coach Tod) Kowalczyk has already been very active on the recruiting trails, however. Ryan Majerle, [...]

Reeths-Puffer has been a tough team to figure out this season. On the one hand, they have done some remarkable things against some of the area’s best teams when they play at their peak. But, on the other hand, they have had difficulty with their fair share of average-to-good teams as [...]

Each week, West Michigan Allstar takes our blogging circus over hill and dale to a high school gymnasium around West Michigan. Although the WMA Game of the Week might not be getting primetime media coverage, it’s traditionally one of the biggest games in the area (we like to watch that [...]

In a thirty-two minute game it’s rare for a team to come back from a 40-13 deficit with 23 minutes left, but Reeths-Puffer (11-8) did exactly that last Friday against Grand Rapids Union. Last night the Reeths-Puffer Rockets didn’t need a big comeback against Greenville (13-8) as they lead most [...]

Complete photos from this game can be found here. In an OK-Black battle Friday night, Grand Rapids Union came out swinging against Reeths Puffer. The Redhawks built as much as a 15-point lead in the third quarter, only to see it slip away in the fourth. Thanks to some clutch [...]

The free-throw line was not friendly to Reeths-Puffer in their conference crossover showdown with Grand Rapids Christian on Tuesday, as the Rockets hit only 8-for-17 from the charity stripe. As badly as Reeths-Puffer wanted this to be a game showcasing the unearthly athleticism of senior Toledo-commit Chris Anderson, even his [...]

Earlier today Matthew A. Anderson over at Legends High released a preliminary look at the Mr. Basketball scene this year. It’s obviously way early for anything definitive on that front, but a lack of concrete information has never stopped sports fans from pontificating on a subject as important as the [...]
Guy to keep an eye on: Chris Anderson (the anatomy of a dunker)

If there was ever an all-area player with all-state talent that most people outside of his area had never heard of, Chris Anderson is that player. Averaging 19-points and 13-rebounds per game in his junior year, the athletic Anderson was an afterthought in last year’s state basketball scene, the lone [...]
