9. Detroit Henry Ford 2013-14 record: 13-8.
Outlook: There will be four three-year starters, so experience won’t be a problem — and neither will talent. Josh Davis (Western Michigan), 6-5, is a lights-out shooter who also will help inside. Junior James Towns is an attacking point guard who has added a pull-up jump shot. Antaun Carter is a defensive specialist who creates offense from his defense. Jamal Edwards is another threat from the perimeter. Junior Austin Hunter, 6-4, will have to be effective in the paint offensively and defensively for the Trojans to make a run in Class B.

Ford finished 2-7 in the league last year, but, like Western, should improve this season. Only three players graduated from last year's team. Among the returnees are juniorJames Towns, who was named third-team all-city last season, andJosh Davis(Western Michigan). Those two will look to help Ford compete with Western and Renaissance. Mlive
23. Detroit Henry Ford (Class B)- The Trojans are members of the always competitive Detroit Public Schools League. However, as soon as the state playoffs begin, Ford could make a run to the Breslin Center. 6’4″ Western Michigan commit Josh Davis is one of the best perimeter shooters in the state, and 6’0″ James Towns is an aggressive floor general that finds ways to impact games on the defensive and offensive ends of the floor.
