Larissa Gibson Larissa Gibson 5'9" | CG Lakeville Memorial | 2024 State MI and the Cobras had a humbling first game against Dow and the entire team did not shoot well. They scored at a much higher clip in their second game and Larissa was huge in that effort. Larissa led the team in steals, shot 50% from the field, and went 4/4 from the charity strike.

Gibson (#20) stands out. Her athleticism on the court leaves an impression and she put it on display Saturday at David Barns. A highlight of the day happened when Larissa jumped out of her shoes for a defensive rebound and then outran everyone to the rim, finishing the layup through a foul. She “can” score plenty, but it was her passing abilities that propelled her forward Saturday. Larissa zipped a pass 3/4 court to a streaking teammate behind the defense. She collapsed defenders on her drive then dished to Duthie on the wing for 3 points. Her inbound passes were crisp and she can deliver balls into the post from different arm angles. Larissa drove twice to the middle past her defender, forcing fouls on her layups; she blew past her defender baseline forcing another foul. Gibson has the potential to be an all-conference caliber player in the MMAC this winter.
