Prep Girls Hoops Michigan ranked the players in the 2019 class. When taking on this task people and companies must be humble and admit error. The following is a list of players that we admittedly missed the ball on. These players deserve a higher ranking.
Diynasti Dowell (5’11”, SF, Muskegon)
Prep Girls Hoops Michigan Ranking: #61
Dowell is an athletic 3 level scorer. She attacks the bucket on offense and is a solid rebounder. Dowell should be ranked higher simply because of her influence on the game.
Natalie Dunn (PG, West Ottawa)
Prep Girls Hoops Michigan Ranking: #80
We flat out missed on this. Dunn is a top notch athlete and a dangerous scorer. She’s an elite floor general and one of the better perimeter players on the west side of the state.
Ellie Klein (G, Essexville Garber)
Prep Girls Hoops Michigan Ranking: #94
Klein’s ranking is much too low. She’s a multi level scorer who hit the 1000 point mark this season. Klein is an excellent ball handler and defender.
Madison Peterson (5’8″, SG, DeWitt)
Prep Girls Hoops Michigan Ranking: #108
Yea, #108 is way off. Peterson is a 2 way player who can score and defend. She can play defense in a half court set or apply pressure. I don’t think we realized all the ways she truly effects the game.
Samantha Potter (6’1″, G, Royal Oak)
Prep Girls Hoops Michigan Ranking: #40
Potter is simply dangerous with the ball in her hands. She scores and passes at an elite level. Potter is a true team player and leader. Even in a class full of top end talent, she should move up.
Sydney Shafer (5’10”, SG, Jackson Northwest)
Prep Girls Hoops Michigan Ranking: #18
Everyone knows that Shafer is an elite talent. But really, she’s even better than we thought. Shafer is a complete player who uses her athleticism on both ends of the floor.
Emily Swiercz (G, Airport High School)
Prep Girls Hoops Michigan Ranking: Unranked
We dropped the ball on this one. Swiercz can flat out shoot the rock. She’s a confident player who can put a team on her back. Swiercz needs to be ranked.
Zara Weber (5’9″, SG, Kent City)
Prep Girls Hoops Michigan Ranking: #77
The more you see her play or the more film you watch, the more you will like her as a player. She’s an extremely efficient shooter. Weber moves well without the ball and knows how to find open looks.
