Dasher, Dancer, Comet, Cupid, Prancer, Vixen, Blitzen, Donner, and Rudolph are well known in Holiday lore. What if the sleigh was being pulled by Michigan high school basketball’s senior class? Who would be 9 players pulling the sleigh? Here are my example of 9 athletes leading the way.
Santa needs some power to pull the sleigh. If power is what you’re looking for, Carson is a great place to start. She can play bully ball in the paint, but is also one of the most skilled post players in the country.
To pull a sleight it takes a different kind of toughness. Petroelje has that toughness without a doubt. She plays with grit and with an edge that many people just can’t reach. Petroelje knows how to use her fire as a tool drive her to success.
To pull a sleigh for the state of Michigan, we need leadership. A floor general you might say? Wypych can handle those duties as well as anyone. She’s efficient and is willing to do whatever her team needs to get the W.
We need a seasoned veteran to pull the sleigh right? Macon is that player. She basically played up every year in grassroots play and you can see what it did for her game. Macon is unfazed on the floor and makes smart decisions.

We need accuracy on a sleight flying across the state right? Is there a more accurate shooter in Michigan than Copple? We need someone to fill it up from a distance and she’s the perfect candidate.

Why Linden? Because quite frankly, if something happened to the sleigh, I think Linden could just pull it by herself. Hard work and fearlessness are 2 very accurate words to describe her as an athlete.
We need players that can do it all when we ask them to pull the sleigh for the state. Kincaid consistently hits every corner of the stat sheet. She scores, rebounds, defends, and dishes all at a high level.
We need gamers to pull this sleigh. Resio has proven herself to be just that. She’s a winner and it takes a special player physically and between the ears to earn that designation. Resio won’t let the sleigh crash.
Highlights
I think we want some firepower and upside pulling the sleigh and Ratliff seems like a good fit. She can heat up on offense and I really like her potential to keep growing and developing as a player.
