Regional 5 has some talented teams, players, and legitimate Division 1 state title contenders. Here is a preview of the Region and my predictions.
LOCATION
Northville
DATE
March 29 and March 31
KEY PLAYERS
LaChelle Austin LaChelle Austin 5'9" | SG Wayne Memorial | 2021 State MI (2021, SG, Wayne Memorial)
Austin is a silky smooth scoring guard with a high basketball IQ.
Alanna Micheaux Alanna Micheaux 6'2" | PF Wayne Memorial | 2021 State MI (2021, PF, Wayne Memorial)
Micheaux is an elite post player in the midwest and beyond. She’d be a nightmare for any opponent in Michigan.
Ella Riley Ella Riley SG Plymouth | 2021 State MI (2021, SG, Plymouth)
Riley is very active on offense and her team will need her versatile defense.
Ainsley Florence (2022, SF, Plymouth)
Florence has really started to show signs of the bright young prospect that she is. If she shoots well, it will go a long way to helping Plymouth advance.
Sophie Canen Sophie Canen 5'9" | SG Saline | 2022 State MI (2022, G/F, Saline)
Canen has emerged as a player and prospect this season. Saline will need her to score a bit and defend at a high level in order to advance.
Ella Stemmer Ella Stemmer 5'10" | SG Saline | 2021 State MI (2021, SG, Saline)
Stemmer has shown the ability to put her team on her back, and is unquestionably, the best player in the school’s history. It will be fun to see how far she can take the Hornets.
Jessica Andrew Jessica Andrew CG Brighton | 2022 State MI (2022, SG, Brighton)
Andrew has always been a shooter, but she’s added a defensive element to her game as well. If Andrew is on, Brighton is very dangerous.
Mary Copple Mary Copple 5'7" | PG Brighton | 2023 State MI (2023, PG, Brighton)
Copple is one of the exciting and dynamic young point guards in the state. Her future as a top prospect could start here.
