Performance of the Week: Mount Clemens' Nevaeh Williams
January 14, 2022
Nevaeh Williams ♦ Mount Clemens
Basketball ♦ Senior
A media report her sophomore season referred to Williams as the “best player that most high school hoops fans have never heard of,” but the part about being unknown has changed significantly this season and especially over the last week. On Jan. 7, Williams scored 60 points in a win over Arts & Technology Academy of Pontiac – tying the fourth-highest single-game total in state girls basketball history – and she followed up with 42 points in a 58-38 win Tuesday against Warren Michigan Collegiate.
The senior point guard has arguably been unmatched in filling stat sheets this winter. She also had seven rebounds against ATAP, and added eight rebounds and 10 steals against Michigan Collegiate. She went over 1,000 career points during a Dec. 14 win over Detroit Pershing, tallying a quadruple double with 20 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists and 11 steals, and nearly matched it the next night in a win over Detroit Lincoln-King Academy with 35 points, 10 steals, nine rebounds and seven assists. Earlier in December she put up 44 points in a victory over Southfield Bradford, and she set a school record with 14 steals against Melvindale Academy of Business & Technology also during the season’s first weeks.

Calling All Hoops: Schedules & Scores
November 28, 2017
By Geoff Kimmerly
Second Half editor
Basketball is back, and we’re again providing an opportunity to follow the schedules and scores of all 1,400+ girls and boys high school varsity teams in Michigan this winter.
Of course, to make this a 100-percent success, we would love your help.
The first games of this 2017-18 season were played Monday, and we’re aiming to again include full schedules and all scores for every MHSAA member girls and boys varsity team on our website at MHSAA.com. The task of inputting all of this data is massive – but if you’re an athletic director, coach, player or just an interested fan, a few minutes of your double checking greatly will help us out.
Check out your team’s schedule, scores and up-to-date league standings by going to the “Schools” page on MHSAA.com, searching for yours, then clicking either the “Girls” or “Boys” button in the menu to the left side of the page next to “Basketball.”
It would help us greatly if you can keep an eye out for the following:
• Incomplete schedules. Almost all of our teams have scheduled 20 games for this winter. But we have some schedules incorrectly showing fewer.
• Inaccurate schedule information. With more than 15,000 games to input, of course we will make mistakes. Let me know if you find one.
• Missing scores. While we do our best to collect what’s reported to the media, posted on Twitter and sent directly to us, there are always scores that do not get reported in any of these ways. We want to fill all of them in.
Email me directly at [email protected], and we'll make the changes as soon as possible.
Entering scores is easy as well: Log in with a previously-created account, or click the "Register" link on the top right-hand corner of MHSAA.com, and create a new account in less than a minute. You will be able to then enter scores either on a team’s schedule page or on the Score Center page that shows all events each day.
Thanks in advance. Your help will contribute to a valuable resource for thousands of players, coaches and fans and media all over our state and beyond.
