It's the golden age.
The Blue Water Area is full of talented boys basketball players. While there has always been a steady influx of talent, this season might showcase some of the most talented players the area has ever seen.
Several teams are led by dynamic talents that have allowed them to be extremely competitive in conference races. As the final stretch of the season begins, let's take a look at the Top 25 boys basketball players in the area this season.
This list has no bearing on our end of the season Player of the Year award.
1. Romeo Weems, New Haven
Weems is a phenom. Standing 6-foot-6, Weems is so ahead of the curve, he has already been offered a scholarship to play for Tom Izzo at Michigan State University. Weems has gotten so much attention because he is young (only 15 years old) and can dominate on both ends of the floor while filling the stat sheet. Weems is averaging 19.2 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 3.4 steals per game while leading the Macomb Area Conference Blue Division champions.
2. Eric Williams, New Haven
If Weems is Batman, Williams is Robin in the Rockets' starring cast. Williams has taken yet another step forward this season, averaging 17.8 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 3.6 steals. Williams can do it all on the court and will partner with Weems to help New Haven make a run at a state championship. After the season, Williams will take his talent to Division 2 Davis and Elkins College.
14. AJ Crawford, New Haven
The Rockets have plenty of talent. But one player that often goes overlooked is the Rockets point guard. He has the difficult job of getting his teammates good shots while also finding his own offense. Crawford seems to have excelled at this balancing act as New Haven has already clinched a MAC Blue title.
17. Ashton Sherrell, New Haven
Sherrell is an ascending player in the area. He has plenty of size (6-foot-7) and can be an imposing force in the lane. He is averaging 10.9 points, 7.2 rebounds and three blocks per game for New Haven.
