Tyson Acuff dominated at both ends of the court on Tuesday night, finishing with 44 points, nine rebounds and five steals and the winning basket, as he helped Detroit Cass Tech defeat Detroit Henry Ford, 65-64.
Cass Tech coach Steven Hall was impressed with Acuff's performance, noting how the 6-foot-3 guard can score from many points on the floor.
"He has tremendous size, he can score from behind the arc, and he's crafty and can create for himself," Hall said.
Calen King added 13 points and four steals for Cass Tech in a game that Hall said was close throughout, as neither team could really get a huge lead.
But Acuff's most important shot was his last, the winner.
"He was a phenomenal performer," Hall said. "He saw the game hanging in the balance, and took it."
"After Henry Ford scored, we took a timeout and took it out of bounds. We drew up a play for Tyson, he drove in with a floater on the baseline to win the game."
