Saginaw Township, MI - In the first-ever matchup between the Saginaw United Phoenix (13-5) and the Heritage Hawks (9-4), the senior duo of Tyler Dorsey and Trayvious Buford combined for 42 in a 77-65 Phoenix win.

Dorsey totaled 23, 13 in the second half. The 6'6 center showcased his skill set, ripping in rebounds, and scoring at the rim, from mid-range and beyond the arc in a nine-point third quarter.


United won each quarter, having a three-point edge after one. Buford scored 10 of his team's 16, knocking down two threes. Heritage junior Jaylin Cooper kept the Hawks within striking distance, contributing 11 in the first half. The Phoenix led by four at the break.


Saginaw United was +5 behind Dorsey's quarter and aided by Cooper picking up his fourth foul.


With just under three minutes remaining, United had a nine-point lead. A bucket for Buford made it double-digits, followed by a Heritage turnover at midcourt.


Hawks junior Lemonte Wiley met Phoenix senior Deon Anderson Jr. at the cup, where a technical foul was called. That sparked disagreement from a member of the Heritage bench, which induced another tech.


The Phoenix hit 3-of-4 technical free throws, to gain a 14-point lead. It remained a double-digit deficit through the rest of the contest.



Rounding Things Out
