We had Stemmer ranked high, but she did more than prove that ranking. She solidified herself as the type of player that can get a team DEEP in the playoffs.
BREAKOUT PLAYER OF THE YEAR
Sarah Soraghan Sarah Soraghan PG Royal Oak | 2021 State MI (PG, Royal Oak)
I really liked Soraghan’s game last year, as she showed the potential to be a solid floor general. This season, she blew it out of the water. Soraghan became a dynamic player and leader. She showed the ability to create for herself off the bounce, as well as draw the defense and dish it off. Soraghan looked more confident and efficient with her jumper as well. Sarah Soraghan Sarah Soraghan PG Royal Oak | 2021 State MI solidified her spot as a high level junior prospect.
