Peyton led McBain to a top-three ranking, a 20-0 record, and a Highland Conference championship (14-0). She was described by Head Coach Tim O’Malley as the team’s best player and earned an All-Conference First Team selection for her performance this year. Running the point, Peyton averaged 13 points (49% 2FG%, 30% 3FG%, 83% FT%), four assists, four rebounds, three steals, and one block per game. She poured in 47 threes for the Ramblers this season and was highly praised by her head coach. Peyton’s impact on the culture, influence, leadership by example, verbal communication, work ethic, dedication to improving her craft during practice, and habitual consistency of excellence in character were all mentioned. Coach O’Malley states, “Peyton stands out as an exceptional leader, an inspiring role model, and a team captain whose presence has a lasting and meaningful impact. Her leadership is not merely a title; it is demonstrated consistently through behavior, attitude, and influence—qualities that set her apart from her peers and shape the team culture in deep and positive ways.” From what I’ve seen of Peyton on the court and descriptive details about Peyton’s character from Coach O’Malley, I can say without a doubt that Mid-Michigan is adding an All-Conference caliber person and player to their 2026 team.
