MICHIGAN PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Feb. 16th-22nd

<p>The Prep Girls Hoops Michigan Player of the Week Award is given to one student-athlete among many deserving candidates who demonstrates excellence during a week of their team's competition. The winner contributes to their team's success in multiple statistical categories to help her team compete to their best potential. Several players were deserving of recognition, but only one can be selected for Player of the Week. Those not chosen as Player of the Week received recognition as Player of the Week Honorable Mention. Here are the girls who had a magnificent 12th week of the season and it's time to celebrate their accomplishments!</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">PLAYER OF THE WEEK</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">Keira achieved two special milestones for Saline last week. She crossed the 1,000-point threshold with 27 points, five rebounds, and three assists during a 68-29 win against Ann Arbor Huron. Keira followed that up with 25 points (6/10 3PT), two rebounds, and two assists against Howell on Friday to break the D1 single-season 3PT scoring record. Her methodical shooting mechanics, quick release, and balance were outstanding throughout the game, but when Keira fired a left-handed hammer pass to the corner on a baseline drive, that was equally impressive. She is 83 of 176 (47%) from 3-point range this season and 227 of 576 (39%) in her career. Keira is an elite shooter because, despite the mass volume, she remains highly efficient. That's what separates a real sniper from a volume-reliant scorer: field goal percentage. Keira will be remembered as one of the most prolific shooters in MHSAA history and is our Feb. 16th-22nd Player of the Week.</p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">PLAYER OF THE WEEK HONORABLE MENTION</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">HarLee has expanded her game this season to become the go-to scorer and is a lead contributor in several categories for Brown City. She is a tough and unselfish prospect who takes pride in her rebounding. During a 68-57 win against Genesee, HarLee amassed 36 points, 18 rebounds, seven assists, and three steals; she's the type of player teammates love to play with and coaches want to have on their team. </p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">PLAYER OF THE WEEK HONORABLE MENTION</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">Kendyl became the deadliest sharpshooter in Quincy's history last week with a school record of 69 3-pointers this season and a school record of 139 3-pointers in her career. She was in the zone against Bellevue, connecting on nine triples and stoking the fire with 33 points.</p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">PLAYER OF THE WEEK HONORABLE MENTION</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">Reese had a very productive week for Millington, scoring 46 points and corralling 24 rebounds in three games. She became Millington's all-time leading scorer with 1,158 career points to go alongside her career steal record. </p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">PLAYER OF THE WEEK HONORABLE MENTION</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">Mallory recently eclipsed 1,000 points and set a new school record with eight 3-pointers (26 points) last week during a 69-33 win against Hesperia. She added 11 points and two triples against Reed City and reached 150 3-pointers in her career. </p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">PLAYER OF THE WEEK HONORABLE MENTION</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">Gabby set a Howell record for career 3-pointers made with 154 and had her sites locked in against Saline on Friday. She drained five triples as the Highlanders defeated Saline 72-44 on senior night. </p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">PLAYER OF THE WEEK HONORABLE MENTION</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">Hannah was ruthless against Clinton last week, scoring 32 points during a 75-36 victory. She attacked downhill to score through contact off the dribble, drained pull-up jumpers, and fought through defenders to score offensive rebound putbacks. Hannah deflected passes to force turnovers on defense and finished layups at the rim. She capped off the week with 16 points and 12 rebounds in a 42-36 win against Dundee. </p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">At the Buzzer</h2>   <p><strong>Evan Bell</strong> is currently a scout for Prep Girls Hoops and Director of <a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/program/prepare-2-win-basketball/"><strong> </strong></a><strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/program/prepare-2-win-basketball/"><strong>                       </strong></a><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/program/prepare-2-win-basketball/"><strong> </strong></a><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/program/prepare-2-win-basketball/"><strong>[program_tooltip program_id='923712' first='Prepare' last='2 Win Basketball']</strong></a>                         </strong> .
