MOST OUTSTANDING PLAYER
Mya Petticord Mya Petticord 5'9" | PG Arbor Prep | 2022 State #33 Nation MI (PG, Arbor Prep)
Petticord just keeps on producing. In a difficult season, both physically and mentally, she came out and finished the year like the champion that she is. Petticord was on a tear during the second half of season and had her Arbor Prep team looking state championship ready. She can create off the dribble and finish at the rim or dish the ball off. Petticord is an excellent passer while in motion, making her a big time threat with the ball. She is an exceptional leader, especially given that she is just a sophomore. Luckily, we get 2 more seasons to watch Petticord work her magic.
