DETROIT - When you are 6-8, 220-pounds, a four-star recruit, and ranked the No.88 player in the nation, you are supposed to dominate most competition. That is exactly what Detroit Henry Ford Academy School for Creative Studies junior power forward Trevion Williams did, scoring 35 points on 14-27 shooting, and grabbed a whopping 32 rebounds in an 82-61 win over Dearborn Henry Ford Academy. Williams also had six assists and four blocks.

"It was well-earned," Detroit HFA head coach Joseph Hines said of Williams' play. "Every single game he's becoming more and more poised, and understanding. There are not many guys, if not anybody in the state, that can lock him up one-on-one. So even against two or three defenders, he's still able to compete and make buckets. We ride his shoulders, and with him getting double-doubles, and triple-doubles, we can go a long way."

Williams does not play the most elite competition night in and night out, but when you face two and three defenders on every offensive possession, and still manage to record a double-double, with 30 point and 30 rebounds, the talent and skill is there. For a player his size, Williams has nice handle with the ball in his hands, even making one defender fall in the game, he has great vision, and looks to get his teammates involved a lot. He missed eight free throws in the game, something he will need to continue to work on.

The Mustangs were on a 3-game losing streak coming into the game, and Williams was happy about coming away with a win over their rivals.

"We've just been playing and working hard," he said. "We've been constantly working in practice to get to where we're at now, and is showed on the court.

"When I was getting the ball down in the post, I knew I didn't have to do it all by myself, and those double-teams opened up shots for my teammates."

Williams moved to Detroit from Chicago last year, and has come a long way since when he first arrived. He has dropped some weight, and is very skilled for a big-man his size. Not many 6-8 power forwards are able to bring the ball up the floor, facilitate the offense, and make passes like a point guard. His potential is still untapped, which is saying something.

"His development as a player, from previous years when I've had him, is phenomenal," said Hines. "Each year he gets better. Each game he gets better. He recognizes his mistakes. He's a humble guy, but tenacious at the same time, and has the hunger to win. He's the first one in the gym, and the last one to leave."

Michigan State and Xavier have offered Williams, with Wisconsin and Illinois also showing interest in him. The Spartans have courted Williams the most, sending him a piece of mail this morning wishing him good luck in his game. He also visited Wisconsin during the football season.

"Michigan State has been showing a lot of love to me," said Williams. "Coach D.J. (Dwayne Stephens) and coach Izzo text me a lot, checking up on me to see how I'm doing, and making sure I'm working on my game. I'm looking into Wisconsin, too, but they have yet to offer. My options are open right now, and I'm just seeing what everyone has to offer."
