She has strength, quickness, and relentless energy every time she touches the floor. Izzy is the kind of prospect who will sacrifice her body to secure loose balls and she has the explosive burst needed to beat defenders to the rim. Isabella is a breakout candidate this spring. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Katherine Spicer (2025, Fowler)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Notes: Katie is a knockdown shooter from the outside, hitting multiple 3's in a game is the usual. She dropped an impressive 20 pts with 8 rebounds against one of the top teams in D4 to help Fowler advance in the postseason. Katie is a lengthy guard who uses her length and anticipation to pick off passes; she will be a prospect to watch in tournaments this spring. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='848859' first='Alivia' last='Shultz'] (2025, Montrose)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Notes: Alivia is a multi-level scorer who has an effective outside shot and the rebounding determination to lead her squad on the boards any given night. At 5'9, she has the length, quickness, and balance to be an asset at guard with her height advantage. Alivia's ability to read passes and create turnovers with her anticipation will help the team this spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='885283' first='Ellie' last='Neuhaus'] (2025, Clio)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Notes: Ellie is a 6'0 forward whose stature and strength stand out in the paint. She is a fierce rim protector/shot blocker who plays very well defending other forwards and staying out of foul trouble. Ellie passes very well out of the high post and is effective in screen and roll situations. Good luck getting any offensive boards against Ellie or outworking her for a rebound.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Reese Gohsmann (2025, Millington)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Notes: Reese became Millington's all-time single-season scorer, totaling 433 points this past regular season. She knocks down shots outside and has the versatility to seal in the post or face up and attack off the dribble. Reese will be another weapon to watch this spring. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='716477' first='Brooklyn' last='Hughson'] (2025, Davison)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Notes: Brooklyn is a forward who has the height and length to finish in the paint and block shots on the defensive end. She works hard for rebounds and is an effective passer out of the high post. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='335983' first='Sophia' last='Bussell'] (2025, Monroe)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Notes: Sophia is deadly from beyond the arc. She takes over games with her sharpshooting and puts up ridiculous numbers like 9 total 3's in one game. Sophia has the handles to create separation off the dribble to create an open shot. She was SEC-Red First Team and will be a prospect coaches watch this spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1002361' first='Tracy' last='Ludescher'] (2025, North Branch)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Notes: Tracy is a lengthy shooting guard who produces on both ends of the court. She circulates the perimeter without the ball and has the balance to catch and shoot with an effective high release from 3. Tracy uses her height to rebound the ball and has the handles to push in transition. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='918940' first='Kiera' last='Prue'] (2025, Alpena)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Notes: Kiera is a double-double threat every night because of her 6'0 frame and hard work in the paint. She finishes inside and secures the boards. Kiera swats shots at the rim and will be a powerful post to watch this spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='614705' first='Kelsey' last='Kohlmann'] (2026, New Lothrop)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Notes: Kelsey is a 5'10 wing who will make waves this spring after making a big impact for New Lothrop this season, 2nd team All-MMAC. She is a sniper from beyond the arc and finishes with both hands using her speed to attack the rim. Kelsey utilizes her length to block shots inside and on contested shots. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='773846' first='Alyson' last='Moore'] (2026, Ovid-Elsie)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Notes: Alyson has an effective shot from outside as she proved by hitting four 3's against Chesaning this season. She sees the court well and distributes the ball to create offense. Alyson has a great work ethic and a positive attitude that will be an asset this spring. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">At the Buzzer</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Evan Bell</strong>&nbsp;is currently a scout for Prep Girls Hoops, Varsity Girls Basketball Head Coach at Lapeer High School, and Director of<strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/program/lapeer-county-cobras/"><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></a><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/program/lapeer-county-cobras/"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></a><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/program/lapeer-county-cobras/"><strong>[program_tooltip program_id='715992' first='Lapeer' last='County Cobras']</strong></a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong>.
