9.River Rouge(13-10)
Coach LaMonta Stone returns home to River Rouge this year, 15 years after he left  the Panthers program after winning a Class B state championship in 1999. Bringing his son,LaMonta Stone II, along with him, River Rouge adds a great scoring threat at guard. Senior big man Jalin Gibson (6-foot-7), is a player that coach Stone wishes he had for four years because of his athleticism. There are a lot of new, high expectations surrounding this team. Mlive

20. River Rouge (Class B)- After years as an assistant coach in the college ranks, LaMonta Stone returns to River Rouge for the 2014-2015 season.  As the head man for the Panthers in 1999, Stone won the  Class B state championship.  Coach Stone brings with him to River Rouge son LaMonta III, who was regarded as one of Ohio’s best guards in the upcoming senior class.  At 5’10” LaMonta III will pair with 6’7″ Jalin Gibson, a bouncy, athletic hidden gem to give the Panthers a solid inside-outside presence.  If the Panthers are going to make a deep run this season, then senior guards Amir Poole, Tracy Freeman, and Mateeya Jones will have to make contributions as well to go along with 6’5″ junior forward Javon Lawrence, who will be eligible in January.  Rouge will be tested this season, with games scheduled against Muskegon, Consortium, Romulus, Flint Beecher and Allen Academy.
