KLAA West Players I’m Excited to See

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Kensington Lakes Athletics Association is host to some amazing teams. On the West side of the Conference, Hartland is coming off a State Runner-up finish, and Howell was good enough last year to split with them. Brighton is a team that is good enough most years to finish in the top of any conference in the state but came in fourth place- thanks to a Cinderella season by Northville. It's a tough league that should provide a lot of fireworks for the basketball enthusiast.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_63549aefdd787","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["190706"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"I had the chance to coach Mary two years ago at Reaching Higher.
