Jozelynn, a guard for Freeland, has been playing at a very high level this spring and summer, and she continued that strong play at Northwood Team Camp. She consistently put pressure on the defense by attacking downhill and finishing strong at the rim, showing both confidence and physicality around the basket. Defensively, she was a disruptive presence, using her length to rack up deflections and generate steals that led to transition opportunities. Several times, she turned defense into offense by going coast-to-coast and converting in the open floor. Her aggressiveness, defensive impact, and ability to score in transition made her a steady difference-maker throughout the day.

Jozelynn committed early and she’s an absolute steal for Ferris State. Her physical attributes, dynamic skill set, and mamba mentality on the court translate to the highest levels of college basketball. Freeland looked like a team ready to challenge the D2 darlings during games at BCAM Reaching Higher. Jozelynn will be the unquestioned leader for an extremely young, talented, and hungry Falcons core. She’s a dual-threat scorer and was one of the most dominant guards in the gym. Jozelynn used a quick crossover twice to beat the first defender and accelerated to the rim for a straight line layup. She anticipated passes from the help side and snatched them out of the air. Jozelynn switched lanes with a crossover to go by for a tough and-one layup with her left hand and batted down a pass on the perimeter for a steal. She drilled a deep wing three off the catch and knocked down another smooth three from the wing. Jozelynn is efficient from beyond the arc and defenses find out quickly that they can’t give her an inch of space.

With all of the attention on McGregor, took full advantage of playing on the big stage by knocking down multiple threes in a very tight game for the Mystics versus YKS. Jozelynn moved very well off the ball, especially in coordination with McGregor, staying out of the ball handlers space and reading and reacting to how her defender went to help on McGregor. Bewick’s ability to stretch the defense with excellent perimeter shooting kept her defender honest, making it difficult to give little to any help on McGregor. Begick showed good vision as well making several good passes and she did not turn the ball over. Begick herself did a nice job on the ball defensively in man to man and when she was in help side defense she showed help to guards driving the ball but was able to get back out to the perimeter and close down shooters. Begick is committed to play for Ferris State at the next level this past September.

Jozelynn was on fire from three-point range for Mystics P24 17U from the start and continued to shine throughout day one of the PGH MI College Tour. Jozelynn found her hot spot in the corners and ripped the net with at least five triples in game one. She finished well with both hands, stayed active on the defensive end, and changed directions with quick crossovers to penetrate off the dribble.

Jozelynn set a new career high with 40 points in Freeland’s 57-43 win at Hemlock (#8, D3). She was red-hot from beyond the arc, scorching the nets with eight three-pointers. Jozelynn crashed the glass to secure nine rebounds and dished out two assists. Her high-octane performance led the Falcons to a statement victory on the road and earned recognition as Michigan’s PGH x Foster Swift Sports Player of the Week for December 27th-January. 3rd

Jozelynn has the physical qualities and advanced fundamental skills necessary to be an outstanding guard at the next level. She dropped a new career high of 40 points against Hemlock with eight three-pointers and was one of the best players in the gym at GVSU Elite Camp. Since bursting onto the scene as a freshman, Jozelynn has continued to blossom as a prospect. She’s the image of a prototypical college guard ready to be a force in the GLIAC and an impact player for Ferris State.

Jozelynn turned in a performance at the Hemlock Holiday Classic that nobody will forget. Jozelynn ended the first quarter with a Steph Curry-distance moonshot that got me on my feet. She consistently drained three-pointers from the volleyball line all game. Jozelynn created space and fired threes with deadly accuracy off the dribble. She only needed a foot. Jozelynn handled the ball confidently as the primary point guard, demonstrated excellent vision, and fired passes in transition to open teammates. She delivered a bounce pass through a small window to break the press and used a low double-crossover dribble to drive by for a layup. Jozelynn converted free throws, penetrated the defense with her dribble, and was disruptive on the defensive end. Jozelynn ended the game with 40 points (8 3PT), nine rebounds, and two assists. She picked the perfect day to set a new career mark, and I’m happy I was there to see it.

Jozelynn is the go-to girl for Freeland now, and she’s off to a fast start for the Falcons. Jozelynn turned in a complete performance with 21 points, seven assists, six rebounds, and three steals during a 67-45 opening night win vs. Saginaw United. She put up 20 points, six rebounds, three assists, and two steals vs. Grandville, then ended the week with 19 points and eight rebounds vs. Menominee. Jozelynn totaled 60 points (42.1% 3PT%), 14 rebounds, 10 assists, and five steals in three games for the Falcons.

Begick played a major role in the offense on Friday, knocking down timely threes that shifted momentum and opened up the middle of the floor. With defenses stretched, she showcased her soft touch around the rim and leveraged her height to finish efficiently. On the defensive end, she used her length to alter shots and make scoring difficult for opponents. Expect her to have a strong season ahead.

Jozelynn committed to Ferris State after picking up offers from multiple D2 programs over the past few months. Her length, athleticism, and sniping ability from three-point range made her a guard-wing prospect with a high ceiling from the beginning of her high school career. Jozelynn has continued to fill out her frame and fine-tune her game. She’s a prospect who performs at her best in the spotlight, with many top performer moments at showcases in front of our scouts and college coaches. The turning point where Jozelynn cemented herself as an undeniable D2 prospect was at GVSU Elite Camp. In a gym full of talent, Jozelynn separated herself as a defensive stopper, explosive downhill driver, aggressive rebounder, and efficient three-point shooter. She’s a great pickup for the Bulldogs.
