What if the sleigh was Michigan high school basketball’s sophomore class? Who would pulling the sleigh? Here are my example of 9 juniors leading the way.
See who was pulling the sleigh for the senior and junior classes below:
Pulling The Sleigh – The Seniors
Pulling The Sleigh – The Juniors
Dakota Alston Dakota Alston PG Detroit Edison | 2023 State MI (PG, Detroit Edison)
We want players that play with a chip on their shoulders to pull our sleigh. Alston is one of the top players in the state, and she’ll prove that in the coming seasons.
Annabel Ayrault Annabel Ayrault SG Grosse Pointe North | 2023 State MI (SG, Grosse Pointe North)
It’s always nice to have a rising star on the squad. Ayrault has managed to fly under the radar a bit, but she has so much talent and upside as a player and prospect.
Kara Bartels Kara Bartels 6'3" | PF Zeeland West | 2023 State MI (PF, Zeeland West)
Bartels bring so much to the team leading Michigan high school basketball. She can bang in the paint, has great footwork on both ends, and can get out in transition.
Faith Carson Faith Carson 6'4" | C Buchanan | 2023 State MI (C, Buchanan)
If we’re going to pull the whole state, we need strength. There is no better option than Faith Carson Faith Carson 6'4" | C Buchanan | 2023 State MI . She might be able to bully any big nationwide.
Chloe Craft Chloe Craft 5'5" | CG Westfield Prep | 2023 MI (CG, Westfield Prep)
We need potential on the team, and I pick Craft to fill that role. She could make leaps and bounds as a player. All the athletic and mental tools are there.
Reagan Greene Reagan Greene 6'1" | PF Lake Orion | 2023 MI (PF, Lake Orion)
I knew I had to have Greene on the team that’s pulling the sleigh. If you watched her over grassroots season, you know why. She was an absolute warrior defensively in the paint. Her never backdown demeanor made an impression.
Megan Gross Megan Gross 5'3" | PG Clare | 2023 State MI (PG, Clare)
If we’re going to pull high school basketball, we can’t have any fear. When Gross plays, there isn’t a hint of fear in her game. Most likely, she’ll be the smallest player on the floor. But most likely, she’ll play with the biggest heart.
McKenna Macon McKenna Macon 5'8" | PG Lawton | 2023 State MI (PG, Mattawan)
We need a leader and floor general. Macon is one of the top point guards in the state and will fit nicely here. She’s as steady as they come. She makes high percentage post entry passes and can get buckets when her team needs them.
Aaliyah Morehouse Aaliyah Morehouse 5'8" | SF East Lansing | 2023 State MI (SF, East Lansing)
Athleticism is key when comprising this team, and I want to give Morehouse her due. She can get up and down the floor and can play at a high speed.
