She controlled the lane in both games, battling her way to 2 double-double outings. In the semis she had 10 points and 10 rebounds, while in the title game she scored 12 points and grabbed 13 rebounds. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="147766" first="Leah" last="Lappin"] (2022, CG, Hartland)</strong> Lappin can be very proud of the way she showed up to play at the Final 4. In the semis, she had a double-double with 13 points and 11 boards. She struggled a bit with her shot in the title game, but found other ways to positively influence her team by grabbing 7 rebounds and getting 2 steals. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="256553" first="Grace" last="Lyons"] (2023, SG, Rockford)</strong> Lyons had a huge semifinal game. She shot 5-12 from behind the arc on her way to a 21 point game. Lyons didn’t just shoot though. She also found other scorers, racking up 6 assists. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="147739" first="Amanda" last="Roach"] (2022, CG, Hartland)</strong> Roach has a reputation as a warrior on the basketball court and she was just that in the Final 4. She led her team offensively, averaging 18.5 points per game in the final 2 contests. Roach also brought energy to the defensive end. <h2>MOST OUTSTANDING PLAYER</h2> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="244266" first="Indya" last="Davis"] (2024, SG, West Bloomfield)</strong> Davis not only helped her team win a state championship, but she sent a big message to the entire midwest. The message being that this could just be the beginning. The star guard is just a sophomore and the best is yet to come. In the Final 4, Davis averaged 20.5 points per game and 9.5 rebounds per game. She was so dynamic offensively, but she did in the most efficient of manners. In the last 2 games, she shot the ball at 47% from the field. Davis came up huge, especially in the title game, finishing it with 17 point and 11 rebound double-double. The truly scary thing is that all 3 of the West Bloomfield players that made this list are all returning next year.
