The Boston Celtics need not worry about the Brighton boy’s basketball team breaking any of their scoring records. But the Bulldogs sure know how to play defense.
The Bulldogs (6-1 in conference play) are tied for first place in the Kensington Lakes Activities Association West division with Novi (6-1) because they know how to dig in defensively and make things uncomfortable for opponents.
During a 39-36 victory over rival Hartland Brighton senior David McLaughlin held Hartland junior Parker Sundman to 13 points, nearly six points below his average of 18.2 points a game. Sundman is a dangerous man, who has scored 20 points or more in five of his last nine games.
Brighton and Novi have an important game at Brighton on Friday. The winner should be in sole possession of first place.
