Dalton Deboer Dalton Deboer 5’5″ | SG Midland Dow | 2025 State MI was an assassin from 3 on Sunday, she made 3 pointers look easier than layups, hitting at least 4. To start the game, Dalton came off a down screen caught the pass then got downhill and scored a left handed layup and one. She sees the court well and if you let her shoot from her spots it will be a long day.
Mia McLaughlin Mia McLaughlin 5’9″ | SG Frankenmuth | 2024 State MI was another deadly shooter who had herself an outstanding performance for Frankenmuth Sunday. She drained about 4-5 3 pointers and had her way in week one of the league.
Larissa Gibson Larissa Gibson 5’9″ | CG Lakeville | 2024 State MI and the Cobras had a humbling first game against Dow and the entire team did not shoot well. They scored at a much higher clip in their second game and Larissa was huge in that effort. Larissa led the team in steals, shot 50% from the field, and went 4/4 from the charity strike.
2024 SG Klaire Caldwell Klaire Caldwell SG Midland Dow | 2024 State MI is an extremely tough and hard working all around prospect for Dow who has been out of action for some time. She is long with off ball vision to create space for her knock down shooting and find open gaps in the defense. Klaire did well sealing inside and knowing when to explode into a finish or pass out to open shooters for the assist. She is an uncommitted 2024 that will continue to polish her game with reps this fall heading into the winter season.
Emily Valencia Emily Valencia 5’9″ | SG Clarkston | 2024 State MI was tossing dimes cross court during her week one matchup at fall league. She showed off her court vision, and ball handling with precision. Emily will be a prospect to keep watching at the Cage with a good Clarkston squad.
LEGACY FALL LEAGUE OF CHAMPIONS
CG #19 for the Michigan Magic is a feisty defender and dynamic player. She used a behind-the-back snap dribble made a pass, relocated, and then drained a deep 3-pointer off the catch. She hits the hole hard and can finish at the rim.
2025 Howell CG Alison Farr Alison Farr 5’5″ | PG Howell | 2025 State MI led the charge for Howell offensively Sunday. Against two elite opponents, Alison found open space to hit multiple 3’s off the catch and finished contested layups at the rim. She provided aggressive attacks to the rim resulting in free throws when the shots weren’t falling for the team.
