Mid-Michigan Mega Scrimmage: Cards on the Table

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>H.H. Dow High School hosted their annual Mid-Michigan Mega Scrimmage on Saturday, November 23rd and the event was once again an exciting day of basketball. New and familiar faces emerged as impact players for their teams throughout the day. Here are several competitors whose performance caught my attention in the gym.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["854682"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1071340,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6744cb8369bc5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Reese had a stellar junior season for Millington, continued to impress during the travel season, and looked to be in peak form at the Mid-Michigan Mega scrimmage on Saturday. Reese scored efficiently at all three levels, knocking down multiple 3s and beating defenders to the basket using a quick combination of crossover dribbles. Reese scored a layup using a high-rip move and spin dribble for a left layup off two feet. She swiped the ball away to score transition layups and converted shots around the basket with both hands several times driving full speed. Reese will be an excellent addition to wherever she decides to play college ball after her senior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1068924"],"_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-6744cb8369c29"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Alexis caught my attention at the Mid-Michigan Mega Scrimmage on Saturday by making an impact for Millington on both sides of the ball. She has good balance and smooth mechanics on her release. Alexis knocked down 3s from the wing and mid-range with confidence. She worked hard defensively and created steals, which resulted in extra offensive possessions for the Cardinals. Alexis is a guard who will be a key contributor for Millington this winter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1070767"],"_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-6744cb8369c89"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brynn is a physical and aggressive forward who had a solid day for Tawas at the Mid-Michigan Mega Scrimmage on Saturday. She defended the paint on defense and battled to secure rebounds. Brynn blasted by defenders on a cut to the elbow and pivoted on the catch to knock down a smooth jumper. Brynn kept her advantage defending a drive to block a shot attempt and demonstrated quality footwork using drop steps in the low post. She will be an impact player for Tawas this winter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1071091"],"_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-6744cb8369ccf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Alayna stood out with her crafty ball handling, vision, and defensive effort for Manistee at the Mid-Michigan Scrimmage on Saturday. Alayna accelerated with her dribble past the first wave of defenders and dropped in a floater through a foul. She battled to secure an offensive rebound and scored the putback. Alayna scanned the floor in transition and delivered strong skip passes on a rope to teammates over defenders. Her quickness and effort on both ends of the floor will be an advantage for Manistee at the point guard spot this winter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- 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 and Director of&nbsp;<a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/program/prepare-2-win-basketball/"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></a><strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/program/prepare-2-win-basketball/"><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/prepare-2-win-basketball/"><strong>&nbsp;</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>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;.
