Shannon Fealko Shannon Fealko 5’7″ | CG Port Huron Northern | 2025 State MI (2025) made clutch plays for PHN when the game was on the line Wednesday. She trapped the rebounder to force a turnover, put her body on the line to save a loose ball, and handled the ball with poise under pressure. Shannon’s court vision created scoring opportunities and her strength was shown on a press break where she finished a layup through contact. Shannon drilled a deep wing 3 with a defender in her face to bring the Huskies within one, and was essential to the team pulling off a comeback victory in the closing seconds.
Lexi Norman Lexi Norman 6’0″ | PF Lapeer | 2024 State MI played great basketball for the Lightning on both ends to help the Bolts earn their first victory Wednesday. She had an impressive up and under pivot finish to win a one on one battle in the paint. Lexi shot 50% from the field, made both of her free throws, blocked a shot, and added 7 rebounds. Her verbal communication, toughness, and passing were essential to the team’s success.
Ella Prevost is an outstanding PG for the Lake Fenton Blue Devils. She is a hidden gem who is finally getting the chance to shine with an increased role this season. At Brandon Friday, she applied phenomenal ball pressure in the press to create steals, which she converted into layups using either hand at the rim. Her court vision and strong passing using either hand helps create inside out scoring opportunities for teammates. She creates space off the dribble and plays very intelligent basketball on both ends. Ella is a 2024 prospect coaches need to call.

Anna Prevost Anna Prevost CG Lake Fenton | 2024 State MI (2024) SG is an uncommitted prospect for Lake Fenton who has deadly accuracy from the 3 point line. She has the range to hit volleyball line 3’s and is an excellent passer as well. Anna rebounded a ball on defense and fired a 3/4 pass over the defense to a teammate sprinting down the floor. She was absolutely on fire from 3 on Friday, hitting spot up shots from the volleyball line and many spots around the arc. These twins have impressed me since the independent travel circuit last summer and are uncommitted 24′ prospects JUCO and D3 coaches should be going to see play for the Blue Devils.
Gabby went off in an unbelievable battle of elite teams Friday versus Mercy. She exploded for 34 points, setting the school record for 3’s in a game with 8! She added 5 rebounds and 3 assists, while playing less minutes because of foul trouble. The numbers don’t always tell the story, but when you can produce at an effective clip against a quality opponent, that speaks volumes.
Aizlyn played a phenomenal game for Mercy in their matchup with the Highlanders Friday. The game couldn’t have been closer and she played exceptional basketball against tough matchups. Aizlyn put up 19 points, making 4 three point shots. She is going to be a top prospect for Mercy to go watch throughout the winter season.
