Dearborn Divine Child's Cara Miller. Grosse Pointe Woods University Liggett's Madison and Hailegh Ristovski. Morley-Stanwood's Alexis Huntey. Goodrich's Aketra Sevillian. Saginaw's Travontis Richardson, Traverse City St. Francis' Sean Sheldon.

What do they all have in common? Yes, they all played in MHSAA Basketball Finals last month. They're also the newest names -- along with the Southfield Christian, Rockford and Climax-Scotts boys teams as a whole -- to appear in the MHSAA online record book for their performances at Michigan State's Breslin Center.

Willie Betts remains the only athlete in Michigan high school history to play on four MHSAA championship basketball teams, a feat he completed as part of River Rouge's fourth-straight Class B title winner in 1964.

This time, Betts helped the Panthers to an 86-67 win over Lakeview in the Final.

Fred Hudson led the way for the Panthers, scoring 31 points. The victory also was the 100th in MHSAA Tournament play for legendary Rouge coach Lofton Greene. River Rouge finished the 1963-64 season 24-1, losing just once for the third-straight winter.
