Friday's prep roundup: Grosse Pointe South takes down rival North

Nolan Bianchi
Special to The Detroit News

Getting the first win of a season is always a relief, but when that victory comes in a hostile road environment against an undefeated rival, it makes things just a little bit sweeter.

Grosse Pointe South guard Ryan Downey drives the lane against Grosse Pointe North defender Hunter Levick in the first half. Grosse Pointe South defeated Grosse Pointe North, 59-51, Friday for its first win of the season.

Julian Harrell dropped seven 3-pointers and finished with 30 points as Grosse Pointe South (1-3) beat cross-town rival Grosse Pointe North Friday night, 59-51.

South coach Troy Glasser said his team was able to overcome the noticeable size difference between the two teams by breaking the zone with ball movement.

“Our guards did an outstanding job of moving the ball and not turning it over against their length,” Glasser said.

South was able to contain North's 6-foot-5 Ryan Webb by surrounding him with bodies inside.

“We just ran a lot of guys at him,” Glasser said. “We just tried to push him out as much as we could and rebound.”

Size has been a problem for South all year, but their prior matchups made defending Webb, who still finished with 18 points and 11 rebounds, a little bit easier.

“We’ve played a pretty tough schedule coming into this game,” Glasser said. “That helped us a lot… It’s given us some experience coming into this game.”

Glasser expects Friday’s win in a hostile environment to get the ball rolling going forward.

“We had bands from both teams were there, lots of students, and the community always shows up and supports that game,” Glasser added. “It gives us confidence in what we can do.”
