There is a lot of talent in the Michigan state playoffs. I’m going to give you 20 players from all 4 divisions that you should keep an eye on in the quarterfinals. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="178883" first="Alina" last="Anderson"] (2022, SG, Rockford)</strong> Anderson is a valuable veteran presence on a very talented roster. Anderson can score from a variety of spots on the floor and will play a key role in how far Rockford advances. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="253597" first="Ashley" last="Bower"] (2022, SG, Portland)</strong> Bower led her team to a state title last year and is doing all she can to defend that crown. She’s an incredibly consistent shooter that thrives in the role of the go-to scorer. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="194461" first="Lexie" last="Bowers"] (2023, PG, Kent City)</strong> If you haven’t seen her play, be sure to tune in. She can shoot the lights out, handle at a high level, and her defense continues to improve. Bowers is an elite junior lead guard. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="227305" first="Kaitlyn" last="Cain"] (2022, G/F, Marysville)</strong> Cain is a versatile offensive threat that can score both off the dribble drive as well as her smooth jumper. She’s an excellent 2 way player that really enjoys the defensive end of the floor. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="147782" first="Anna" last="Fernandez"] (2022, PG, Plymouth Christian)</strong> Fernandez is half of one of the top shooting backcourts in the state. She can bea complete game changer when she heats up from beyond the arc. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="281856" first="Alexis" last="Halley"] (2024, SG, Wayne Memorial)</strong> Halley is an underrated perimeter prospect. She’s a true team first player that is willing to grind and do the little things. Halley is quickly earning a reputation as a big game player. <strong>Cori Jahfetson (2023, SG, Baraga)</strong> Jahfetson is a dangerous shooter that must be accounted for. She has definite 3 point range and if she catches fire from behind the arc, Baraga can beat any team in the bracket. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="230784" first="Elyssa" last="Kincaid"] (2023, PF, Riverview)</strong> College coaches especially, you have to see her play. She’s had some ridiculously good games and a true breakout season. Kincaid has been a double-double waiting to happen all season long. <strong>Macey Laubach (2022, PF, Edwardsburg)</strong> Laubach has had a truly special senior season and is more than capable of helping her team advance to the semifinals. She’s scored and attacked the glass as well as any forward. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="147780" first="Mackenzie" last="Miller"] (2022, PF, Schoolcraft)</strong> Miller is a tough post player that will be a menace to any opponent left in front of her Schoolcraft squad.

She has a mature game that allows her to pick apart a defense in the most efficient manner. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="147714" first="Mya" last="Petticord"] (2022, PG, Arbor Prep)</strong> Petticord is erverything you want out of your point guard. She’s a natural playmaker that can draw the D and dish with flare. Petticord can both score and dish at the highest level. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="147717" first="Madisen" last="Wardell"] (2022, F, Detroit Edison)</strong> If you’ve read my work for a while, you know I’ve always been very high on what Wardell has to offer as a basketball player. She can play so many roles on a team and plays them all at a high level. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="147713" first="Ruby" last="Whitehorn"] (2022, PG, Detroit Edison)</strong> Whitehorn is one of the best high school guards in the country.

She reads her matchups and plays inside-outside and outside-inside accordingly. While Zeiter can battle in the paint, she can also step out behind the arc and bury a deep triple.
