Avondale all but erased Oxford's early 15-point lead by the end of the third, tying it up less than a minute into the final quarter, and holding on to win, 60-56, winning the OAA Blue title outright, refusing to share their crown.
After a 2-0 win over No. 7 Oxford in Tuesday’s regional semifinal at Grand Blanc High School extended their win streak to seven games, the Detroit Catholic Central Shamrocks are one win away from going right back where last year’s team finished.
Ryan Clark scored the game-winner with 26:13 to play, as No. 7 Oxford broke an eight-year district title drought with a 3-2 win over No. 8 Clarkston, securing its first postseason title since 2014.
