Eric Williams had a night he will always remember.
The New Haven High School senior had 50 points, eight steals, seven rebounds and two assists in the Rockets 94-41 victory over Fraser.
Williams' performance helped New Haven open the Macomb Area Conference playoffs by putting on a show. Romeo Weems added 12 points, nine rebounds, six steals and five assists for the Rockets.
"In the first half, I didn't really miss any shots," Williams said. "I came out in a good groove. Coach kept me in during the fourth quarter and that also helped. I had 40 points at the end of the third and I was hoping I could stay in and get 50.
"I was just shocked when they told me how much I had. I was just playing."
Williams said the banner accomplishment will be one of his best memories of his high school athletic career. But he has even bigger goals on his agenda.
"I hope winning a state title will be the best memory I have," Williams said. "But this will be one of the best."
