Headliners Invitational: Session 2 Team 2

#37 Selena Titus Selena Titus 5’3″ | PG Jenison | 2025 State MI is a 2025 PG who has consistently performed at an elite level in showcases and individual camps throughout the off-season and Sunday at the Headliners was no exception. Her joy and love for the game of basketball, having fun competing, those were qualities that stood out to a college coach Sunday. She has been one of my favorite prospects to cover this off-season because of how relentlessly aggressive she plays on both ends of the floor, her passion for the game, positive attitude, verbal leadership, and toughness. She scored at all three levels and picked up many assists in transition. I will be checking in on Jenison to see how Selena leads the team this winter.

#38 CG Emily Cates Emily Cates 5’4″ | CG Potterville | 2025 State MI is a 2025 prospect from Potterville who will be essential to the team’s success this winter. At the Headliners Sunday, she converted a contested layup in transition from the left side and did well seeing the floor and sharing the ball. Emily uses both hands to create space with her dribble and maintains good defensive positioning.

Melanin Holman Melanin Holman 5’6″ | CG Kenowa Hills | 2025 State MI is a 2025 CG who keeps climbing the charts as she showcases her athletic ability and fine tunes her game. Melanin succeeded at everything at the Headliners Sunday; she dominated on defense by deflecting passes, blocking shots, and applying pressure. Melanin has amazing leaping ability and make up speed to bait passers into turnovers. She scored at will from inside and knocked down a 3 in the corner. Melanin makes other players look like they are moving in slow motion because of her athleticism. Melanin earned the honor of Headliners Invitational MVP for session two and I look forward to seeing her compete for Kenowa Hills this winter.

#76 Tia Charafeddine is a Wing/PF with size and strength who made plays at the Headliners Sunday. She has sneaky speed to get in position for transition baskets and her height gives her an advantage to finish at the rim. Tia converted multiple layups in transition and handled the ball well with both hands. She has power rebounding on both ends of the court and positions herself for deflections on defense. I look forward to seeing her compete more with Dearborn this winter.

#78 Cali Thelen 2025 PF from Fowler made some nice plays at the Headliners Sunday. She played good defense and deflected entry passes resulting in turnovers. Cali moved well without the ball and provided great hustle and effort for her team.

Sienna Mroue is a 2026 PG from Dearborn who is an outstanding soccer prospect, but she’s also a phenomenal basketball player! Sienna was all over the court making plays at the Headliners Sunday. She deflected a pass and finished a baseline drive at the rim. Sienna threw a full court one handed pass over the top of a defender to a teammate in stride for the layup. She finished layups in transition and scored through contact. Her quick acceleration, tight ball handling, relentless motor, and toughness made her stand out as a phenomenal prospect at the event.

Vanessa Galovich Vanessa Galovich 5’8″ | SG Utica | 2024 State MI is a 2024 Utica prospect who stole the show Sunday at the Headliners. A GLUE player is someone who a team cannot win without because they make the offensive, defensive, hustle, energy, and IQ plays needed for team succes: that’s exactly what Vanessa did Sunday. I briefly saw her play for Goonies this summer but this was the first time I had the opportunity to see her game in full. She was an outstanding all around performer and earned notice from coaches at the event as a finalist for the MVP voting.

Jade Solomon 2024 Wing from Patrick Fogarty made plays that helped her team be successful at the Headliners Invitational Sunday. She rebounded the ball on both ends and threw accurate outlet passes to teammates. Her hard work on the boards helped create extra scoring opportunities for teammates.
