Oxford built a 14-9 lead after the first quarter and a 22-13 advantage at the half. The Wildcats exploded with a 25-16 surge in the third frame for a 47-29 lead before Groves closed with a 20-14 run.

The Yellowjackets are slowly making some strides.

Five days after dropping a one-point decision to unbeaten Clarkston, last year’s OAA-Red runner-up, Avondale recorded a signature win by downing last year’s OAA-Red champion Southfield Lathrup, 55-47.

Hannah Little scored a game-high 23 points ot lead Avondale. Lorreal Farris added 13 points and Carolyn Gracey scored eight for the Yellowjackets.

Michele Hayes had 14 points and Amber McCullough scored 12 for Lathrup, which shot itself in the collective foot by draining only 10-of-24 free throws in the eight-point defeat. The Chargers kept it close by draining six 3-pointers.

Lathrup led 14-12 after the first quarter and 27-23 at the half. Avondale used a 10-8 surge in the third quarter to pull to within 35-33 before the Yellowjackets closed with a 22-12 run to pull out the win.

ROCHESTER ADAMS 49, TROY ATHENS 30: Adams remained in a first-place tie in the OAA White Division with this 19-point win Tuesday.

Karissa Roveda and Raiven Owusu both scored nine to lead a balanced effort for the Highlanders, who led 16-10 after the first quarter and 23-19 at the half. Adams (5-2, 5-0) used a 14-5 run in the third quarter to break the game open.

Becca Chen scored nine and Sinclair Russell added seven points and 10 rebounds for Athens.

SOUTHFIELD CHRISTIAN 51, AUBURN HILLS OAKLAND CHRISTIAN 48: The Eagles captured a rare win over the visiting Lancers in MIAC Blue Division play.

Charity Godbold scored a game-high 23 points for Southfield Christian.  Leann Krick  drained a trio of 3-pointyers and scored nine and Lexie Hart added eight points for the Eagles (3-6, 1-2).

PONTIAC 54, TROY 40: Pontiac limited Troy to a season-low 40 points and posted this OAA red Division win Tuesday.

Sky Alexander scored 16 and Amanda Miller added 15 points, which included four 3-pointers, for Pontiac (6-2, 3-2).

Karin Moss scored 19 for Troy. Katy McCuish added nine for the Colts (6-2, 3-2).
FARMINGTON HILLS HARRISON 43, ROCHESTER 40: Harrison used a 13-9 fourth quarter to upend Rochester and earn this OAA White Division triumph.

Harrison led 15-11 after the first quarter but trailed 22-21 at the half.

Both teams traded off nine points in the third quarter, as the Falcons held a 31-30 advantage heading into the final frame. Rochester could not sustain the advantage.

Joslyn Wilcox scored 17 and Marissa Cotton added 15 points for Harrison (3-7, 2-2).

Aubrey Konal and Stephanie VonBehren both scored seven for Rochester (2-6,1-3), which shot only 50 percent (6-for-12) from the foul line which proved to be their doom.

NORTH FARMINGTON 55, ROCHESTER STONEY CREEK 51: Jasmine Harris and Kaitlyn Kendall both scored 14 points in leading the Raiders to the OAA Red Division win. Jessie Carruthers chipped in with 12 points for the Raiders (6-3, 2-2), who led 27-15 at the half.

Gabbi Yurik scored 25 points and Natalie Voss added nine points for the Cougars (5-3, 1-3), who closed with a 36-28 second half but could not complete the comeback.
