PLAYERS TO WATCH
Montgomery is a huge threat off the wing. She combines athleticism, toughness and ball skills. Montgomery can be a terror in the open floor.
Daye is an electric 2 way guard. She utilizes her speed on both ends of the floor and can has a well rounded game.
Risdon played very well against Dow last Saturday. She’s a versatile post player that can score facing the rim as well as with her back to the basket.
Baker is an elite prospect in the state. She’s long and athletic and has terrific body control when attacking the rim.
Highlights
Walker can flat out put points on the scoreboard. She has an incredibly fast first step when she attacks off the bounce.
Hekkema is a high quality player that can play and defend multiple positions. She’ll be a tough matchup this weekend.
Charles is a must see at the West Michigan Hoops Summit. She plays a solid vertical game and can get up off the floor in a hurry.
Petroelje is one of the top seniors in the state and probably deserves more talk as a Miss Basketball candidate. She’s as tough as they come and can attack offensively from anywhere on the floor.
Baker is a seasoned veteran at the high school level and that’s probably more valuable than we think. She can get up and down the floor with ease filling a wing in transition.
Good luck finding a weakness in her game. Bass is a long and versatile athlete that can change direction so smoothly.
Ham is a terrific 2 way player. She’s incredibly diverse offensively and can defend all over the court.
Zeinstra is a must see player this season. She’s an elite shooter that can change the game with her jumper.
Speaking of shooters, Byron Center has another one to watch. Ferguson is one of the most efficient 3 point shooters you’ll see this season. She brings energy and hustle to the defensive end.
When watching Guy earlier this season, her defense stood out. It will be fun to see her put strength against strength with a high output Byron Center team.

Wegmann has looked much improved this season and could make a huge statement this weekend. She’s picked up big stops this year on D and will be asked to do again.
If you’ve never seen Brown play, you have to take advantage of the opportunity this weekend. She’s an elite lead guard with athleticism, strength, and ball skills.
Brandstadt has proven that she’ll be a key to the success of the East Grand Rapids team this season. Her pressure defense on the perimeter and her shooting from behind the arc have stood out early in the season.
Reid is typically a big game player and she’ll get the opportunity to square up with one of the best in Macy Brown Macy Brown 5’11” | PG East Grand Rapids | 2023 State MI . I’ve seen Reid take it to high major prospects on multiple occasions.
Marshall was really solid last weekend and will look to roll with the momentum. She can shoot from behind the arc and defend baseline to baseline.
