WOLVES WIN. HISTORY CONTINUES. 🏀🐺
Averie Zinn delivered another performance for the record books tonight, scoring 57 points in a 79–61 Wolves win over Flint Elite.
With tonight’s game, Averie now sits at 2,088 career points, moving from 33rd to tied for 25th all-time on the Michigan girls basketball career scoring list.
The milestones do not stop there:
57 points marks the 11th highest single-game scoring performance in MHSAA girls basketball history
8 different games with 50+ points
43.88 points per game, currently #1 in the state
8+ steals per game, also #1 in the state
And this was a complete team effort:
Reginae Randle finished with 9 points and 13 rebounds
Rebekah Jones controlled the glass with 18 rebounds
These accomplishments are made possible by teammates doing the work that does not always show up in headlines—rebounding, defending, screening, and creating opportunities. Individual milestones are built on team trust, toughness, and togetherness.
The Lady Wolves are now 7-2 on the season. They travel to Flint Southwestern next Tuesday.
