The 5-foot-8 guard and Marquette commit thrived under the spotlight, averaging 19.2 points per game and knocking down 50 triples throughout the year. Carter was at her best on the biggest stage, hitting four threes in both the semifinals and finals while shooting an impressive 47 percent from beyond the arc at the Breslin Center.

The dynamic 6-foot guard was unstoppable as a sophomore, earning Michigan's Gatorade Player of the Year honors while powering Belleville to its first-ever state championship. Savoury stuffed the stat sheet with 26.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.2 steals, and 3.8 assists per game, showcasing her all-around dominance. On the biggest stage at the Breslin Center, she delivered back-to-back standout performances — recording 21 points and 11 rebounds in the semifinals before posting 22 points, five rebounds, three assists, and three steals in the title game. With two seasons still ahead of her, Savoury's ceiling only continues to rise.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["807315"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6914f4c20ed66"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mallory is quickly establishing herself as one of the premier post players in the state after an outstanding sophomore season. The 6-foot-3 standout was a force on both ends of the floor, averaging 13.5 points, eight rebounds, 2.8 assists, 4.1 steals, and 3.2 blocks per game while shooting an impressive 67 percent from the field for a 22-4 Buccaneers team.

She was a consistent force on both ends of the floor, averaging 13.9 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 3.9 steals per game for a 21-4 Hawks squad. Her versatility and poise beyond her years helped elevate her team to one of its best seasons in recent memory. With her blend of size, skill, and basketball IQ, Joslyn is already establishing herself as one of the top young talents in Michigan girls basketball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["924008"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6914f4c20ee22"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kate, a Northwood University commit, was a driving force behind her team's impressive run to a state runner-up finish last season. A fierce competitor with a high motor, she brings intensity and focus to every possession. Her ability to score, defend, and rebound makes her one of the most complete players on the floor. With her leadership and drive, Kate will have her sights firmly set on guiding her team back to the Breslin Center and finishing the job this time around.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["502307"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6914f4c20ee66"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Keira established herself as one of the elite perimeter threats in Michigan last season, lighting it up from beyond the arc at an incredible rate.
