Continue ReadingAnn Arbor Prep hosted their annual opening week tournament this year, which draws some of the best teams across the state. Great teams often bring great kids that fly under the radar but are indispensable, which was the case today. In the opening game, Dexter used a strong half to pull away from Plymouth Christian, a Division 4 semi-finalist from last year. The second game saw heroics from a Heritage freshman to eke out a close victory. The young Gabriel Richard team came to age against state power Westfield Prep, the eventual victor. The home team came out victorious in a heavy weight battle against a very game Tecumseh team.
The kid did everything for her team today. She handled the pressure of the press and rebounded in the 1/4 court. She played passing lanes and found open shooters. She even chipped in some scoring.

This kid could be a lead guard in most systems but was used more as a secondary attacker. She did a great job of attacking the baseline and was an intense defender. She hit open people and attacked passing lanes. She was a great team player in a game where there was way too much individual play.
I had a chance to see Rayven play last year, and you can tell she is way more comfortable in her sophomore campaign. She is an incredibly strong player that powers through defenders, but she has the athleticism to get by people as well. She was very active in passing lanes and on the boards and showed improvements in the shooting mechanics.
Paris is the perfect blend of hard edge intensity and smooth operator. She is an intimidating ball hawker on defense and moves well side to side. The offensive side is where you see the skill and quickness come to fruition.
