M.H.C: Ms. Big Shot

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The final day of the Michigan Hardwood Classic did not disappoint. The early game featured an audience of news reporters and college coaches to watch one of Michigan's best 2027 prospects, [player_tooltip player_id='807279' first='Mia' last='McGregor'], take on the Milford Mavericks. After that wild finish, Lake Fenton and Hamady squared off in another back-and-forth battle. Here are the prospects who stood out during the games on Saturday. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["807279"],"_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":830340,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='807279' first='Mia' last='McGregor'] made one of the best plays you will ever see to end a basketball game on Saturday at the Michigan Hardwood Classic. With 15 seconds left, Mia dribbled sideline to sideline avoiding defenders, then retreat dribbled behind a screen to deliver a heart stopping wing 3 from outside the MHSAA logo just inside the boundary with 1.7 seconds left. Mia was double teamed the entire game, but still found a way to score 31 points with all 14 for Mio in the 4th. She uses inside out, pushouts, and low crossover dribbles to split defenders and get to the rim. What impressed me about her game was how she can dribble full speed in transition, but pause/hesitate to move the defender out of position as she handles the ball. Mia blocked shots, rebounded, and did everything possible to earn a win for her Mighty Bolts; she is a top three 2027 prospect in the state of Michigan.rnrn[caption id=u0022attachment_830502u0022 align=u0022alignnoneu0022 width=u0022300u0022]u003ca href=u0022https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/12/PXL_20231230_162027455-crop-3024x1986-1704052491.jpgu0022u003eu003cimg class=u0022size-medium wp-image-830502u0022 src=u0022https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/12/PXL_20231230_162027455-crop-3024x1986-1704052491.jpg?w=300u0022 alt=u0022u0022 width=u0022300u0022 height=u0022197u0022 /u003eu003c/au003e Michigan Hardwood Classic, Dec. 30[/caption]","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='853441' first='Madison' last='Stevens']","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"12125","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Milford","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"Vice","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003eMaddie Stevensu003c/strongu003e (2024) showed Saturday why she will be playing basketball at the next level for the Alma Scots.
