Avondale is back at the Breslin Center for the first time since 2002 when they won the Class B State crown.
It will be a tougher challenge ahead in the Division One State Semifinals.
The Yellow Jackets will play Rockford on Friday afternoon at noon with the winner will see Birmingham Brother Rice or East Lansing in the Division One State Finals on Saturday in East Lansing.
The Rams are a very deep team led by Eli Wolfe along with Jake Gross and Central Michigan commit Jake Bascom and his brother Josh Bascom. Rockford is well coached and play the team game extremely well. The Rams nation travels very well like the girls basketball program a few years ago when they filled most of the Breslin Center up in orange and black.
The Rams in their last two games have had to survive close games. They beat Grand Rapids Northview 48-47 in the state quarterfinals. Rockford also had to get by Muskegon in the district finals to get to this point. Avondale won 71-50 over Roseville in the state quarterfinals and also have went through Lake Orion, Clarkston, West Bloomfield, and Adams to get to this point.
It will be very interesting to see what happens when this matchup happens on Friday.
