<h3>PREVIEW</h3> District 51 in Stockbridge has 2 very interesting matchups, dangerous teams, and talented players. The district features 4 teams with an impressive combined record of 57-24. The talent in this draw is underrated, as it features a handful of next level talent. E <h3>PREDICTIONS</h3> Ann Arbor Gabriel Richard vs. Fowlerville Prediction: Ann Arbor Gabriel Richard I like the matchups on the perimeter in this game with the likes of <strong>Charlotte Miller </strong>and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="244282" first="Tori" last="Briggs"] </strong>and up and coming <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="280867" first="Julia" last="Johnson"]</strong>. Gabriel Richard has just been so steady this season with a couple seniors that have really stepped up. Wixom St. Catherine vs. Williamston Prediction: Williamston Williamston has so many options on both ends of the floor. If one player has an off night, they have 6 more ready to step up. <h3>PLAYERS</h3> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="244282" first="Tori" last="Briggs"] (2024, PG, Fowlerville)</strong> I’ve been high on Briggs’ potential since she came into high school. She’s a very good ball handler that keeps her turnovers to a minimum. Briggs is a quick player that can get her defender’s feet tangled. <strong>Hailey Baumann (2023, CG, Wixom St. Catherine)</strong> Baumann has had an excellent junior season and helped St. Catherine to some big wins. Her team has had a lot of close games this season, and Baumann’s a big reason that they won almost all of them. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="147732" first="Kaley" last="Douglass"] (2022, SG, Williamston)</strong> Douglass is an elite athlete that will be playing soccer at Saginaw Valley State University next year. On the basketball court, she’s as steady as they come. Best thing is, she brings the same energy and consistency to the defensive end of the floor as well. <strong>Charlotte Miller (2025, CG, Ann Arbor Gabriel Richard)</strong> Miller has bona fide star potential and an impressive skill set. Her combination of court vision and passing helps her create for her teammates. if they get open, Miller will find them and get them the ball. She’s a tough defensive presence on the perimeter as well.
