But even though she averaged just four points, three assists, three rebounds and three steals per game this season, Silverstein was one of the major reasons why the Bloomfield Hills Andover High School girls basket- ball team won the Oakland Activities Association Division IV championship. A feisty 5-foot-5 sophomore guard- forward, Silverstein often was assigned to guard the opposing team's top offen- sive threat. She did what she was asked to do. The Barons allowed less than 29 points per game en route to a 15-6 record that included a 9-1 mark in OAA Division IV and victories in 10 of their last 12 contests. Andover threw a scare into No. 1- ranked Auburn Hills Avondale in a Class A district game at Avondale before losing 48-40. Silverstein could put the ball in the basket when it was needed. She scored 16 points in Andover's 44-27 season- opening win over Waterford Our Lady, and her free throw with seven seconds left gave the Barons a 37-36 victory over Dexter. She was the team's most accurate free throw shooter, hitting 69 percent from the foul line. "I can score, but I did what the team needed me to de Silverstein said. Andover coach Pat Battani appreci- ated that attitude. "Claire is a great kid, very coachable," he said. "She follows directions and never complains." Silverstein isn't a complainer off the court, either. The 15-year-old West Bloomfield teen boasts a perfect 4.0 grade point average, even though she plays varsity basketball and softball at Andover and is a member of the school's marching band and symphony orchestra. Silverstein started 16 games as a freshman. She was Andover's point guard for 13 games after star Emily Hoffiz suffered a broken ankle. Softball is another sport for Silverstein. She began playing organized softball on the eighth-grade team at Claire Silverstein West Hills. Last spring, Silverstein was Andover's starting second baseman. Silverstein was a member of the Metropolitan Detroit Maccabi Club vol- leyball team for two years, including the squad that won the gold medal in Columbus, Ohio, in 2004. Her fam- ily includes her parents, Roger and Susan, and brother Max, 18. Kingston's Achievements Pins have been falling like crazy this fall for Keith Kingston. The 41-year-old southpaw bowler from Farmington Hills has rolled the third and fourth 300 games of his career and his first 800 series. The accomplishments came dur- ing University League play at Country Lanes in Farmington Hills. Kingston bowled 266-267-300/833 on Oct. 24, and 223-300-214/737 on Nov. 28. Kingston's bowling resume also includes a league-high 112 average in his first league, the Wednesday youth league at Hartfield Lanes in Berkley. He was 8 at the time. The certified public accountant is a substitute bowler in the B'nai B'rith Pisgah League this season. He's been a regular in the league in past years. Home Run It's been quite a year for Harry Glanz.
