Salem Burns Community

Rocks roll to emphatic 55-8 victory

Dec. 11, 2009, 11:55 p.m.

  The once-powerful Detroit Community girls basketball team has become the latest metro Detroit High School to be victimized by the pathetic between-season transfers from one power to another.

  To its credit, Salem took advantage of a short-handed Community roster, which lost its top three players to Inkster, by pounding the Hurricanes, 55-8, Friday night.

  The Rocks improved to 2-2 thanks in large part to a balanced attack that saw nine of its 10 players score.

  Senior captains Brett deBear and Sara Stone led the winners' scoring attack with 12 points each. Breanne Beaver added 10, Lily Burnstein added six and Tabitha Mann chipped in with five.

  The Rocks will return to action Thursday against Plymouth.
