Addi returns for her senior season at Tecumseh after earning Second Team All-State honors as a junior and playing a major role in the team’s run to the Division 2 state championship game. A strong presence in the paint, she averaged 13.3 points and 11 rebounds per game while shooting an efficient 55 percent from the floor. Addi’s impact wasn’t limited to scoring and rebounding, as she also finished the season with 72 assists, showing her ability to find teammates and help create offense from the interior. Her production helped Tecumseh make a memorable postseason run and finish as the Division 2 state runner-up. With four starters returning from that team, Addi will once again be an important piece as Tecumseh looks to make another deep run this winter. She has already made her college decision, committing to Wayne State, and enters her senior season as one of the top returning players in Division 2.

“Addi is our only upperclassman this season and will be counted on to lead this young group as our captain. She is one of the top post players in her class, bringing tremendous strength and physicality inside, along with being one of the best rebounders I have ever coached. Addi is committed to continuing her basketball career at Wayne State University. This season, I am looking for her to take another step as a leader, setting the tone with her work ethic, toughness, and experience while helping guide our younger players.” – Coach Zajac

Addi was expected to be a major factor again at the Breslin Center, and she turned in two fantastic games for Tecumseh. She put on a rebounding clinic and back-to-back double-doubles for the Indians. Addi posted 16 points and 19 rebounds in the semifinals, then followed with 10 points, 12 rebounds, three assists, and three blocks in the State Championship Game. Her footwork on the block and as a driver out of the high post was impressive. Addi caught a pass in the high post, faced up, ripped, drove, spun, then finished with her left. She crashed the boards hard to score many putbacks and knocked down free throws efficiently after defenders put her on the line. Addi showed her strength, backing down her defender, then finishing with a layup off two feet. She rotated well from the help position to block shots and was great for Tecumseh on the biggest stage for the second straight year.

Addi was the catalyst for Tecumseh’s state championship at the Breslin Center in 2025. Opponents had no answer for her in the paint. She put up 16 points with 15 rebounds against Frankenmuth, then had nine points, 12 rebounds, and four assists in the Championship Game victory vs. West Catholic. Addi has been dominant once again for Tecumseh. As a junior, she’s averaged 13.7 points, 10.8 rebounds, 1.9 steals, and 1.3 blocks per game. The Indians finished the season 20-2 with a perfect 12-0 record in the SEC White. Their only loss to a Michigan opponent was a 54-52 defeat against West Catholic. Head Coach Kristy Zajac mentioned, “Addi has been a double-double machine all season long. She consistently commands double and even triple teams every night, yet remains poised and makes the right basketball play — often kicking the ball out to our shooters. Her physical presence inside sets the tone for us and opens up everything we do offensively. She anchors our defense as an elite rim protector and is close to breaking our school records for both single-season and career blocks — as a junior. Addi recently set our single-game rebounding record with 26 rebounds, showcasing her relentless motor and dominance on the glass.” Addi is on the cusp of passing 1,000 career points and 1,000 career rebounds. She’s second in program history with over 754 rebounds in her career. I still haven’t seen a D2 opponent neutralize Addi, and that’s exactly why I picked Tecumseh to make it back to the State Finals. Her strength, length, footwork, finishing efficiency, shot-blocking, fierce rebounding, and passing instincts create nightmares for opposing coaches.

Addi dominated in the 2025 playoffs, and that streak continued during Tecumseh’s Regional Semifinal win on Monday. She rotated very well from help to contest shots inside and forced misses without fouling. Addi sealed defenders off in front of the rim, caught entry passes with soft hands, and finished several layups off two feet, including a strong and-one. She made a contested catch to score another bucket, added an offensive rebound putback, and used a hard rip move from the high post to drive downhill for two points. Addi fired a full-court heave to a sprinting teammate in transition for an assist and won the rebounding battle for Tecumseh on both ends. Her double-double scoring and rebounding performance was crucial to the win. Addi ended the game with 12 points.

Zajac brings a unique physicality to the center position that you rarely see at the high school level! She brings the energy required to win on both ends of the floor. Zajac had a big outing in their game versus the West Clermont Wolves leading her team with 15 points and five rebounds! She also contributed with her defensive impact with a steal and block each! One of the top centers in the 2027 class shined for the Tecumseh Indians on the brightest stage at the 2026 Classic In the Country Challenge!

Addi has strength and physicality that opposing forwards can’t match up with inside. She had multiple finishes around the basket after using strong power dribbles and drop-steps. Addi doesn’t shy away from contact and uses her shoulder very effectively with a strong base to get the right scoring angle. She moved her feet well with textbook wall-up technique to force misses and communicated with teammates on defense. Addi put up eight points and grabbed 10 rebounds during a solid win for Tecumseh.

Addi has quickly proven herself as one of the most dominant post players in Michigan and will look to lead her team to another state championship after last season’s title run. The talented junior controls the paint with her combination of strength, finesse, and basketball IQ. She’s a consistent double-double machine, using her soft touch around the rim and excellent hands to finish through contact or kick the ball out to open shooters when defenses collapse. Addi’s rebounding instincts are elite — she seems to always be in the right spot to secure second-chance opportunities or end possessions on the defensive glass. With her presence in the middle, Addi gives her team a major advantage every time she steps on the floor.

“1st Team All-State returner. One of the best post players in the state. Great hands, soft touch, and dominant around the basket. A double-double threat every night who commands double teams but still finds open shooters. Tremendous rebounder with a natural instinct for tracking the ball.” – Coach Zajac

Addi was a force for Tecumseh at the Jackson Summer League and teams had no answers for her. Addi grabbed a defensive rebound and headed straight towards the rim. She pushed the ball with both hands, gaining speed like a runaway train rumbling down the tracks. The last defender standing in the way shook her head and decided to avoid a head-on collision, moving safely out of harms way. Addi completed her course to the basket with a layup and provided what will be a “remember when” moment to look back on. She swatted multiple layup attempts aside in the paint and scored several offensive rebound putbacks. Addi will be an anchor inside again this winter that creates matchup problems for opponents.
