With the end of the High School basketball season approaching, teams are honoring their seniors with senior nights all over the state. That was the case as the Ann Arbor Huron River Rats welcomed in the Saline Hornets. Earlier this season, the River Rats took it to the Hornets as they beat them 72-34. While the River Rats would once again beat the Hornets, it was closer as they won by a final of 59-41.

Hanging Around
Although the Saline Hornets lost by 18 they showed up and hung around until the end. While they would trail all game, they showed fight, and they never gave up. The freshman duo of Noah Kronberg and Brady Costigan lead the way in scoring for the team, with 12 points each. Gabe Iadipaolo was a force down low in the paint, pulling in 14 rebounds. While they aren’t a finished product, they are young and don’t have one senior on the team, which means they will be able to mesh for a full off-season. With freshmen Kronberg and Costigan, along with sophomores Leo Sotiropoulos and Iadipaolo, leading the way for them next year, they could find their footing in the league.

Undefeated
The Ann Arbor Huron River Rats won the SEC-Red after going undefeated in the league. This isn’t the first time they went undefeated in the SEC-Red as they also did it in the 2020-21 season. What makes this one so special is that their average margin of victory was 30.4 points per game in the league. That is a feat that isn’t often accomplished, but when you have players like Dom Krzesowiak and Macari Moore along with Yaseen Issa, they have been a very deadly team the last few years, and they still have a deep playoff run to try and win the school a state title.
1000 Points
On February 11th, 2025, Macari Moore broke the school record for points in a career, and Dom Krzesowiak ended that game 20 points shy of 1000. Well, entering senior night, Krzesowiak was two points away, and it took him a while to get those two points. He would put up a bunch of shots early, but none fell for him. Midway through the second quarter, he had his best shot to hit his 1000th point as he went to the free throw line and only made one of the two shots. He would go to the half with only one point at night. Sitting at 999 coming out of the half, he would get it done with as he hit a mid-range shot that gave him his 1000th point. He would finish the game with seven points in the win. He heads into the playoffs with a career total of 1005 points between Summit Academy and Ann Arbor Huron.
