Depth charged

After an emotional district semifinal bout with Belleville on Thursday, the Romulus Eagle basketball team continued to soar as they beat Ann Arbor Huron, 68-53, at home on Saturday night.

There were no last second free throws or buzzer-beating shots to put the game away. The game was actually quite flat. The Eagles led by as many as 21 in the fourth quarter and were never threatened by the River Rats.

But, hey, a championship is a championship.

As if Romulus hasn’t shown us enough to be considered a favorite going into the regional tournament, the Eagles showed us even more.

Depth, although always present, was showcased on Saturday.

Romulus is loaded with weapons. There’s Dominique Buckley (10 points), Devin Searcy—who led the team with 17—Mario Crawford and Rod Walker that are all headline grabbers. Even sophomore Valdez Green proved that can shoot the lights out, too.

On Saturday, little-known junior forward Martell Anderson came in and knocked down 13 points and reeled in eight rebounds. And sophomore guard Filmore Bouldes contributed with nine points. Both are prolific passers and shooters that can break up zone coverage. The roster seems endless.

So, the depth is there and they are charged for regional play.

The Eagles head to Ypsilanti Lincoln to play Detroit Redford at 7 p.m. on Tuesday.
