The quarterfinals of the state playoffs are here! It’s that time ---- The winner’s to the Breslin Center! The games will take place on April 6th. Here are your matchups, key players, and my predictions. Division 3 Hanover-Horton vs. Ypsilanti Arbor Prep LOCATION @ Tecumseh KEY PLAYERS Carson Sanders Carson Sanders 6'5" | CG Hanover Horton | 2022 State MI (2022, CG, Hanover-Horton) Sanders has a huge upside as a prospect and is an efficient and well schooled player. Malcolm Clements Malcolm Clements 6'2" | CG Arbor Prep | 2021 State MI (2021, SG, Ypsilanti Arbor Prep) Clements is a strong player that plays with a lot of grind and grit. His toughness can lead the way. PREDICTION Hanover-Horton Detroit Loyola vs. Flint Beecher LOCATION @ Waterford Mott KEY PLAYERS Tyran Griffin (2022, SG, Detroit Loyola) Griffin can be a momentum changer off the wing. His above the rim finishes can change the feel of a game. Keyon Menifield Keyon Menifield 6'2" | PG Flint Beecher | 2021 State MI Jr. (2021, PG, Flint Beecher) Menifield Jr. is one of the top unsigned prospects in the midwest, and probably beyond that. He’s a firecracker with the ball and a threat to score from all over the court. PREDICTION Flint Beecher Grand Rapids Covenant Christian vs. Schoolcraft LOCATION @ Kalamazoo Loy Norrix KEY PLAYERS Zach Gritters (2022, CG, Grand Rapids Cevenant Christian) Gritters has that ’it’ factor. He’s proven in these playoffs that he can catch fire and spark the team offensively. Tyler DeGroote Tyler DeGroote 6'7" | SG Schoolcraft | 2022 State MI (2022, SG, Schoolcraft) DeGroote has all the physical tools needed to be a game changer at this level and beyond. He’ll be a nightmare matchup with his positional size and ball skills. PREDICTION Schoolcraft Iron Mountain vs. McBain LOCATION @ Lake City KEY PLAYERS   Foster Wonders Foster Wonders 6'5" | SF Iron Mountain | 2021 State MI (2021, SF, Iron Mountain) Wonders is a must see future D1 player. He can score from anywhere and is basically a lock for a double-double every time that he steps on the floor. McBain’s DEFENSE It’s a total team effort for McBain, and they have proved so far that defense does indeed win championships. PREDICTION Iron Mountain
