Toriano “TA” Adams (2027 • 6'1" PG) showed out with 21 points and 4 assists vs one of the state’s toughest teams and backcourts in Rockford.

He poured in 17 first-half points when 2027 star player Eden Vinyard went to the bench with two fouls.

Big-time confidence, poise, and shot-making. Outstanding performance in a hard-fought loss.

Impressive first half performance for Ferndale. Top 100 national recruit Eden Vinyard picks up two early fouls sits for the duration of the half. Fellow 2027 guard @Toriano4Adams picks up the slack and then some with 17 first half points. Ferndale leads 35-34 at the half #30MCRC

Ferndale’s 2027 SF Kari Ouwinga (6’5”) is quickly becoming known in Michigan. Long, athletic, and confident attacking from the wings, he thrives slashing, finishing through traffic, and making plays in space. Already holding a Toledo offer, his blend of size, skill, and upside puts him firmly on the radar as one of the state’s top 2027 prospects.

Toriano "TA" Adams Class of 2027 | 6’1 PG | Ferndale High School

A competitor who blends poise with toughness. He handles pressure, sets up his teammates, and confidently attacks the lane. As his game grows, expect him to stay firmly on the radar among Michigan’s rising guards.

Jensen Lepla came to work! He showed he can score at all 3 levels. Very impressed with his defensive reaction. Two steals, one leading to a wide open rim shaker and another to a poster dunk! He finished the game with 30pts.

I’ll never understand why they couldn’t get it done 💍

[Tyrese Haliburton @Hali]

Man. Don’t know how to explain it other than shock. Words cannot express the pain of this letdown. The frustration is unfathomable. I’ve worked my whole life to get to this moment and this is how it ends? Makes no sense.

Now that I’ve gotten surgery, I wish I could count the number of times people will tell me I’m going to “come back stronger”. What a cliche lol, this shit sucks. My foot feels like dead weight fam. But what’s hurting most I think is my mind. Feel like I’m rambling, but I know this is something I’ll look back on when I’m through this, as something I’m proud I fought through. It feels good to let this shit out without y’all seeing the kid ugly cry.

At 25, I’ve already learned that God never gives us more than we can handle. I know I’ll come out on the other side of this a better man and a better player. And honestly, right now, torn Achilles and all, I don’t regret it. I’d do it again, and again after that, to fight for this city and my brothers. For the chance to do something special.

Indy, I’m sorry. If any fan base doesn’t deserve this, it’s y’all. But together we are going to fight like hell to get back to this very spot, and get over this hurdle. I don’t doubt for a second that y’all have my back, and I hope you guys know that I have yours. I think Kobe said it best when in this same situation. “There are far greater issues/challenges in the world then a torn achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever.” And that’s exactly right. I will do everything in my power to get back right.

My journey to get to where I am today wasn’t by happenstance, I’ve pushed myself every day to be great. And I will continue to do just that. The most important part of this all, is that I’m grateful. I’m grateful for every single experience that’s led me here. I’m grateful for all the love from the hoop world. I don’t “have to” go through this, I get to go through this. I’m grateful for the road that lies ahead. Watch how I come back from this. So, give me some time, I’ll dust myself off and get right back to being the best version of Tyrese Haliburton.
