CHELSEA VS. HASLETT
I guess comparative scores would give Chelsea the nod, but I want to check this one out. Chelsea has star power and Haslett has solid up and coming talent all over the wing and perimeter.
Key Players:
Leila Wells Leila Wells 5'9" | SG Chelsea | 2024 State MI (Chelsea) – The Marquette commit is as smooth as they come and her veteran leadership will be critical.
Avery Hannah Avery Hannah 5'8" | CG Haslett | 2027 State MI (Haslett) – The star freshman is a must see talent.
CROSWELL-LEXINGTON VS. YALE
Yale has won the previous 2 meeting by a combined 13 points. It’s tough to beat a team 3 times. Either way I think this is a tight game that comes down the final 3 minutes.
Key Players:
Isabella Edwards Isabella Edwards 6'0" | PF Croswell-Lexington | 2024 State MI (Croswell-Lexington) – The senior post player can have a huge impact tonight. If she can control the paint, than her team can advance.
Sadie Dykstra Sadie Dykstra 6'0" | CG Yale | 2026 State MI (Yale) – Dykstra is an exciting talent. If she makes plays in space and grooves her jumper, Yale moves on the championship.
ORCHARD LAKE ST. MARY’S VS. NOTRE DAME PREP
There’s a lot of young talent to see in this game. OLSM can make a lot of noise in the playoffs this year, but Notre Dame Prep has shown the ability to rise up against good teams.
Key Players:
Allison Crighton Allison Crighton 5'6" | SG St Mary's Prep | 2027 State MI (Orchard Lake St. Mary’s) – Crighton has proven to be one of the more talented freshman in the state and is an elite shooter. Can she help her team advance to the district championship as a freshman?
Kaylyn Sowers Kaylyn Sowers CG Notre Dame Prep | 2026 State MI (Notre Dame Prep) – She’s shown the ability to carry her team offensively. Can she carry them past a team with elite young talent?
SALINE VS. WAYNE MEMORIAL
This is way too early for 2 VERY good teams to be playing against each other. Both of these teams can light the scoreboard up.
Key Players:
Kate Stemmer Kate Stemmer 5'6" | SG Saline | 2024 State MI (Saline) – She’s an elite 2 way player that could control the feel of this game.
Colleena Bryant Colleena Bryant 5'6" | PG Wayne Memorial | 2025 State MI (Wayne Memorial) – Don’t look at the number next to her name, because she’s an elite national recruiting target. Bryant is as dynamic with the ball as they come.
CANTON VS. SALEM
How about a rivalry game in the semifinals of district play? These schools faced off twice in the regular season, splitting the matchups.
Justice Tramble Justice Tramble 6'0" | PF Canton | 2024 State MI (Canton) – I’ve seen Tramble control the pain this season. It would go a long ways in an effort to defeat Salem tonight.
Madison Morson Madison Morson 5'8" | SG Plymouth Salem | 2024 State MI (Salem) – Morson has already proven that she can lead her team on a deep playoff run. There’s a reason that she’s a Miss Basketball finalist.
