PLAYERS TO WATCH
Jefferson is a top notch guard. She combines strength and athleticism. This gives her the ability to attack the defense and draw contact and play off of it. Jefferson is a clutch player that can and will make big plays in big moments.
Clement is such a fundamentally sound post player. There just isn’t much that she isn’t great at. Clement has terrific side to side movement and solid footwork on both ends. She reads the ball well off the rim and always puts the in the work needed to establish position for the rebound.
Davis is an elite 2 way guard for the defending state champions. She’s started this season with a fire and a look that says she wants another title. She can be an explosive scorer that can attack and go either way with dribble. Davis
Utomi is an impressive prospect to say the least. She has college ready strength, which gives her the ability to defend multiple positions. Utomi is so dangerous when she slashes to the rim. She has strong hands on the catch and can finish at the rim with athleticism. Utomi can shrug off contact and get to the line.
Alston is one of the top point guards in the state and will try to lead a storied DEPSA program to a state championship. Her veteran leadership is easy to see when her team takes the court. Alston is one of the best ball handlers and distributors that we’ll see in Michigan this year.
Greene is one of the top seniors in Ohio and is committed to Vanderbilt. She has quickness for days and can turn the corner and get to the rim on the dribble drive. Making it even tougher is that she can do it going either way. Greene’s matchup against Alston from DEPSA will be a great game within the game.
Hardy is off to an excellent start this season and looks to continue her solid play. She’s proven that she will be one of the top wing scorers in the state by the time it’s all said and done, if she isn’t already. Hardy can get it done on both ends of the floor and definitely has the look of a D1 prospect.

Belleville has a lot of talent and their roster and a host of players that contribute in a variety of ways. But let’s focus on Carter right now. She’s one of the most exciting freshman in the state. Carter is a scorer at heart and can go off for 20 plus points in any game this season.
