Sydney Hendrix Sydney Hendrix 6'0" | SF West Bloomfield | 2023 State MI (2023, SG, West Bloomfield)
Hendrix was a beast. She led the team in points and rebounds at the Nike Nationals. Hendrix was just physically tougher than most at the Nike Nationals, hawking down rebounds in an undeniable manner.
Devin Hagemann Devin Hagemann 5'6" | PG Detroit Edison | 2024 State MI (2024, PG, Detroit Edison)
Hagemann was incredibly impressive at the point guard position. She finished the event with almost three time as many assists and steals as opposed to turnovers. Hagemann was an efficient scorer as well.
Dakota Alston Dakota Alston PG Detroit Edison | 2023 State MI (2023, PG, Detroit Edison)
Alston is a talented guard with all the tools. She’ll play a big role in Detroit Edison’s chase for another state championship this season. Alston is explosive with the ball and can play at any speed.

Ruby Whitehorn Ruby Whitehorn 6'0" | PG Detroit Edison | 2022 State #20 Nation MI (2022, PG, Detroit Edison)
Whitehorn was as advertised at the Nike Nationals. Her size, strength, and ball skills are simply at a different level. Whitehorn led the team in scoring and was a constant threat with the ball.
Lexus Bargesser Lexus Bargesser 5'8" | PG Grass Lake | 2022 State MI (2022, PG, Grass Lake)
Bargesser has been on a tear for over a year now and that continued at the Nike Nationals. She’s a natural leader and incredibly poised on the basketball court.
Madisen Wardell Madisen Wardell 6'0" | PF Detroit Edison | 2022 State MI (2022, SF, Detroit Edison)
Wardell is always a joy to watch play the game. Her versatility and well rounded game were again on display. She can play and defend multiple positions and seems to hit every section of the state sheet.
