Saline junior Taylor Kangas attempts a shot. She had 5 points, 5 rebounds, 6 steals, and 6 assists for Saline.
ANN ARBOR - A great all-around effort propelled Saline to a 62-33 victory over Huron as the Hornets opened the playoffs Monday at Huron High School in Ann Arbor.
Sophie Canen scored 12 points to lead the 11 Hornets who made the scorebook Monday. Ironically, on a night when the Saline senior star set a record for three-point field goals in a season (story here), the Hornets put the River Rats away while Canen was on the bench in foul trouble.
Saline led 12-9 when officials assessed Canen with her second foul. By the time Canen returned to the floor, Saline led 24-9.
That's exactly what a coach wants to see from her team when their star gets into foul trouble.
"When Sophie, Kate Stemmer, and Anna Hesse all got two fouls early in the first, I thought our bench really did an amazing job sharing the ball. They created open looks and stepped up and knocked them down. They really went on the run that got us our lead and momentum," Coach Leigh Ann Roehm said.
Roehm praised the play of junior Taylor Kangas and freshman Kaidyn Maida. Maida scored nine points, grabbed five rebounds and had a pair of assists and two steals. Kangas had five points, five rebounds, six steals and six assists.
"I loved the play of Taylor Kangas and Kadyn Maida tonight. Kadyn had great energy, scored from 3 and off the drive and had a couple sweet passes. She looked confident and made a big impact," Roehm said. "I thought Taylor was really a floor leader tonight. When you look at her stat line - 5 points, 5 rebounds, 6 steals and 6 assists - she really controlled the game at both ends of the floor. She pushed it well and found the open person. I really thought she was tremendous."
Saline plays Belleville at 5:30 p.m., Wednesday, at Huron in the district semifinal.
This story warms my heart! I can't say enough about how spectacular this agency has treated me as a client and what an outstanding pillar of the community Jill Hartman Durnen is day in and day out.
The mayor literally handed out a pre-printed motion in favor of Swallow and gave it to Lesch and Ceo to read first. Ceo read it word for word as a motion. It was drafted before the interviews. They were performative in an attempt to placate the public. I have nothing against Mr.
