Regional 13 Semifinal Top Performers

The Regional 13 Semifinals started with Parma Western (17-7) defeating Ann Arbor Fa. Gabriel Richard (16-8) 52-32 and ended with host Tecumseh (22-2) defeating Haslett (22-2) 60-44. These six prospects separated themselves on the court as top performers for their teams.    Aubree could not be stopped during Parma Western's Regional Semifinal victory. She dominated the interior, scoring multiple putbacks. Aubree secured rebounds at will, blocked shots after rotating from the help side, and finished well at the rim with both hands. Aubree showed her range, popping outside to hit two threes, and made a great ball reversal pass out of the high post for an assist. She moved to open space, scoring a layup off a flex cut. Aubree posted a double-double, leading the Panthers with 19 points and 12 in the second half.     Christina seems to always step up for Haslett in the playoffs, and she delivered another gutsy effort in the Regional Semifinal against Tecumseh. Christina flashed through the paint, caught the pass clean, and used an excellent step-through to score with her left. She shook a defender with a shifty double-crossover dribble, blew by, then sent the team into a frenzy with a strong and one finish. She completed the three-point play at the line. Christina's aggressive drives and basket cuts resulted in many free throws. She knocked down seven from the charity stripe. Christina side-stepped a defender using a euro-step after a crossover to score another layup and buried a mid-range jumper off a step back. She led Haslett in scoring both halves, finishing with a team-high 17 points.     Reese got the starting nod for Tecumseh in the biggest game of the season. With a key senior out, the Indians needed Reese to come through against a formidable opponent. She showed no sign of freshman jitters, ripping the net with three huge triples in the first half. Reese used perfect wall-up technique to force a miss on a drive attempt, stole the ball away, knocked down a pair of free throws, and added a layup. Reese finished with 13 points in the Regional Semifinal win.     Rayah delivered a standout performance, winning the backcourt battle for Parma Western on both ends of the court. Her length and quick closeouts kept the opponents' perimeter shooters at bay. Rayah had at least three blocks on the perimeter and swatted a layup attempt away from the trail position. She cut backdoor to score a layup, threw high IQ skips to open teammates for assists, and dropped into passing lanes to grab multiple steals. Rayah was on fire in the first half, swishing three triples, including a moonshot from way downtown, to end the second quarter. She led the Panthers with 11 points in the first half and finished with 16 in their Regional Semifinal win.     Addi dominated in the 2025 playoffs, and that streak continued during Tecumseh's Regional Semifinal win on Monday. She rotated very well from help to contest shots inside and forced misses without fouling. Addi sealed defenders off in front of the rim, caught entry passes with soft hands, and finished several layups off two feet, including a strong and-one. She made a contested catch to score another bucket, added an offensive rebound putback, and used a hard rip move from the high post to drive downhill for two points. Addi fired a full-court heave to a sprinting teammate in transition for an assist and won the rebounding battle for Tecumseh on both ends. Her double-double scoring and rebounding performance was crucial to the win. Addi ended the game with 12 points.     In her first Regional Semifinal game, Avery was the catalyst, leading a determined Tecumseh team to a Regional Semifinal victory. Avery wrestled in the paint to secure an offensive rebound, cut backdoor to score a layup, and swished a corner three. She demonstrated great off-ball awareness by relocating to the open block for a catch and finish, leading the Indians with 11 points in the first half. Despite foul trouble, Avery kept her foot on the gas. She crashed the glass to secure multiple offensive rebounds, made excellent entry passes into the post for assists, and cut backdoor to score a layup off two feet. Avery dribbled into the second level of the defense, kept her balance, paused, and blew by to score a finesse finish with her left. Avery energized Tecumseh with a wing three off the catch to extend their lead to nine and knocked down key free throws in the second half. She led all scorers with 22 points and demonstrated the qualities you look for in a high-level guard prospect.
