The senior class in Michigan is very deep and extremely talented. There are definitely more than just those 7 players that could deservedly win the award. We will take a look at 5 girls who, based on their start to the season and their talent, shouldn’t be looked over for this seasons Miss Basketball.
Molly Davis Molly Davis 5'9" | CG Midland Dow | 2019 State MI (5’10″, G, Midland Dow)
Quite simply, Davis has been lights out so far this season. She has been an elite offensive player, showing the ability to score from anywhere at anytime. Davis can carry a team on the offensive end and from a leadership standpoint. These skills put her in elite company that could make a run for the Miss Basketball award.
Kate McArthur Kate McArthur 5'8" | SG Warren Cousino | 2019 State MI (5’8″, SG, Warren Cousino)
McArthur is a Central Michigan commit and as talented as anyone in the state. She’s always been an elite scorer, but her game has expanded so nicely over the years. McArthur is the complete package as a player, but still has that scoring flash. She has been quietly putting up Miss Basketball numbers so far this season at Warren Cousino.
Maddie Novak Maddie Novak 5'11" | SG Detroit Country Day | 2019 State MI (5’11, SG, Detroit Country Day)
It’s hard to stand out on a team full of high level talent, but Novak has done just that so far this season. The future Stetson guard is so mechanically sound and smart with the basketball. Novak has scored in bunches this season and in a variety of ways. She has hit from behind the arc, mid range pull ups, finished at the rim, and scored from the free throw line. If you’ve watched her play this season, you know her game has Miss Basketball written all over it.
Mahri Petree Mahri Petree 5'10" | CG Arbor Prep | 2019 State MI (5’10″, G, Arbor Prep)
A Miss Basketball award winner needs to get it done every night. Meet Mahri Petree Mahri Petree 5'10" | CG Arbor Prep | 2019 State MI . The senior star is as consistent as they come here in Michigan and has been for years. Petree’s claim for Miss Basketball consideration could be bolstered by her veteran leadership and the fact that she contributes in so many ways on both ends of the floor.
Destiny Strother Destiny Strother 5'9" | SG Flint Carman Ainsworth | 2019 State MI (5’9″, SG, Flint Carman Ainsworth)
Strother has been an All State player for years now and deserves a look for Miss Basketball. She attacks the rim with a quick first step and gets buckets. Strother has next level skills and is signed with Marquette. She’s an exciting player to watch and that can carry a lot of weight in being named Miss Basketball.
