TOP GAMES: ROMEO WEEMS
Weems: Rare quadruple-double makes bold exclamation pointA special talent when he came onto the high school scene as a freshman, Weems was tabbed as a Mr. Basketball favorite for 2019 back in 2017 when he led New Haven to a state championship as a sophomore. The 6-foot-7 DePaul signee has played all five positions on the floor and he has lived up to expectations this season.
Despite many standout performances throughout the season, none might top the effort it put forth in New Haven's regular season finale against defending Class C state champion Detroit Edison.
Registering a quadruple in the 74-58 win, Weems scored 34 points, 12 rebounds, 10 steals and 10 blocks. He also added 5 assists. He also surpassed the 2,000-point mark for his career in the victory.
That's a heck of an exclamation point for Weem's last high school regular season game.
Weems: Strong opener sets tone for the seasonWith as strong as he Weems ended the regular season, it should come as no surprise that he opened the season with a strong performance as well.
New Haven opened the season against Division 1 powerhouse Detroit U-D Jesuit and, with Jesuit missing its 6-foot-10 big man Jalen Thomas with an injury, Weems flexed his might as no one else on the Cubs could slow him down.
In a 70-58 win, Weems finished with 27 points with 14 rebounds and 5 blocks.
Weems: Dominant conference tournament run
Weems led New Haven to a Macomb Area Conference White Division regular season title.
After winning the MAC Blue/Gold championship last year, Weems and New Haven took on the MAC Red/White tournament this year. Despite playing all teams from the higher Red Division in the tournament, New Haven claimed the title with Weems leading the way.
In the MAC Red/White tournament opener against Chippewa Valley with 17 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 steals. He also had 13 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals and 5 blocks in a win over Sterling Heights Stevenson in the semifinals.
In the 64-55 win over Roseville in the championship game, Weems had 19 points, 17 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 blocks and 3 steals.
Weems: New Haven's all-time best
Weems is the first Mr. Basketball finalist in program history and also the school's all-time career leader in scoring.
Weems scored 30 points in a 76-47 win over Grosse Pointe South on Jan. 17 to become the new career scoring leader at New Haven, giving him 1,869 career points at the time. He also snatched up 10 rebounds in the win.
Weems: Triple-doubles always in reach
Weems is almost always on the cusp of a triple-double in every game he plays. Collecting double-doubles like candy, Weems obviously hit the triple-double mark a few times.
Aside from his quadruple-double effort, Weems also had 34 points, 19 rebounds, 10 blocks, 4 assists and 4 steals in a win over St. Clair Shores Lake Shore on Dec. 3, just the third game of the season. He also had another triple-double with 30 points, 11 rebounds, 10 steals, 5 assists and 4 blocks in a win against Grosse Pointe North as well just a couple of weeks later.
Weems: Surpassing the 40-point barrier
When averaging 28 points per game, games over 30 points happen regularly. Yet, Weems challenged and surpassed the 40-point barrier a couple of times this season.
Weems' largest point output was on Jan. 15 in a dominant 97-44 win over Utica Ford where he had 47 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists and 6 steals.
Weems also had 36 points, 12 rebounds, 7 steals and 6 assists on Jan. 8 in a win over Warren Mott. Weems also added 34 points, 19 rebounds, 10 blocks, 4 assists and 4 steals in a win over St. Clair Shores Lake Shore.
