There were a lot of players at the event that looked like they have improved their games a lot over the course of the last few months or year. Let’s look at a few of those improved players.
Sydney Brown Sydney Brown 5'9" | SG Northville | 2023 State MI
I’ve always liked what Brown brought to the table defensively. She’s added to her game. I see a new sense of leadership and confidence that will help her immensely.
Bridget Crombie Bridget Crombie 5'11" | SF CHAP | 2023 State MI
It’s well known that Crombie is a tough player that plays bigger than her height. Really, we all know what she can do close to the rim. I was impressed at Flight Hankamp, with her ability to handle the ball and play on the perimeter.
Alexus Dunn Alexus Dunn 5'7" | SG Greenville | 2024 State MI
Dunn has always been a confident shooter, but she continues to gain consistency in that area. I’d look for her scoring numbers to rise again this winter. Dunn also looked like a better ball handler at Flight Hankamp.
Elyssa Kincaid Elyssa Kincaid 5'11" | PF Riverview | 2023 State MI
Every coach needs an Elyssa Kincaid Elyssa Kincaid 5'11" | PF Riverview | 2023 State MI . She plays bigger than her height and is more than willing to Battle in the paint, both offensively and defensively. Kincaid continues to get better at rebounding in traffic and expanding her game to the perimeter.
Aaliyah Morehouse Aaliyah Morehouse 5'8" | SF East Lansing | 2023 State MI
Morehouse is really a different player than she was in high school season. She seems to have figured out how to play off her strengths and that’s going to make her much more of an offensive threat this coming season.
Jordan Peterson Jordan Peterson 5'10" | PF Belleville | 2024 State MI
Peterson came in with a well deserved reputation as a leader and a rebounder. While she showed those things at Flight Hankamp, she showed a lot more as well. Peterson was able to create offensively off quick 2 dribble drives and appeared to have improved as an overall athlete.
Lizzy Scharer Lizzy Scharer 5'4" | PG Lenawee Chrisrian | 2022 State MI
Scharer has seen her perceived ceiling continue to rise all summer. Well, it looks like that trend will continue into the fall. Scharer’s perimeter defense was eye opening at Flight Hankamp and she’s added some playmaking to her game as well.
