Ryenn Becher
Ryenn Becher
Becher was a long, athletic post player who could also come out and guard on the perimeter. She did her job as a rim protector with multiple blocks on the day. Her footwork around the rim is impressive and she can finish with both hands. She frequently scored in transition by running the floor hard.
Wherever I went and whomever I spoke with, all conversation seemed to revolve around #804. And that’s because Madisyn is just that good! She is a PG that plays well beyond her years. When the ball is in her hands, she displays remarkable poise and consistently makes the correct decisions. Her defensive pressure was causing lots of problems for the opposing teams. I wish I had the stats on how many steals she had on the day. It was a lot! She was also knocking down shots behind the arc. The complete package for sure!
Highlights

Olivia was another problem for teams on the defensive end. She had smothering defensive causing lots of turnovers. She aggressively went to the hoop and made smart decisions while doing so. She can knock down the long ball. I could see Gadson making an impact at Holt this Winter.
Grace Atkinson
Grace Atkinson
Grace was a hard worker that never gave up on the play. She constantly had her hands in the passing lanes. She has a nice looking outside shot. I look forward to watching Atkinson grow as a player over the next four years.
Lizzie Risdon
Lizzie Risdon
I lost track how many times Lizzie went coast to coast from a steal. It was a lot! She is a great slasher and finished with both hands well. She had multiple blocks on the day. I think she will be a nice edition to Zeeland East this Winter.
Rihanna Young
Rihanna Young
I think Rihanna was one of the top defenders on the day. She created havoc for teams. She took the ball strong to the basket and had an array of finishes. She is a guard with great court vision and made precise passes all day long.
Harlem Simpson
Harlem Simpson
Harper didn’t let her size deter her from getting in the paint and finishing over much taller players. She has a nice pull-up jumper. One of her strongest qualities is her tenacious defense! She was getting steal after steal. I admired her off-ball movement and exceptional passing skills. rn
McKynley Gaddy
McKynley Gaddy
McKynley is another hustle player…her motor just doesn’t stop! I liked the way she pushed the pace. If her teammates were running the floor, she was finding them in transition. She had some fancy finishes in the paint and her floater was untouched every single time. She is a very good on-the-ball defender and came away with many steals on the day. I can see her making an impact at Michigan Center immediately!
Peyton Sivier
Peyton Sivier
Peyton got better and better as the day went on! I could see her get more comfortable on the court with each play and then watch out! She started knocking down shots and taking the ball to the hoop. She did a great job getting post touches and then getting her feet set to shoot for the pass back out.
