Here are some of the individual matchups that I’m looking forward to seeing:
Jalen Jackson (2022, G, St. Clair Shores Lake Shore) vs. Tristin Beagle (2023, G, Adrian Lenawee Christian)
This will be a matchup that’s very interesting when Lake Shore has the ball. Jackson is an explosive offensive player while Beagle is known for his steadiness and impact on both ends. Can Beagle keep Jackson in check? It will be fun to see.
John King (2023, G, Ferndale University) vs. Jalen Awasika (2022, G, St. Clair Shores Lake Shore)
This is another intriguing offense vs, defense type of matchup. King is a slippery guard that seems to be able to create looks at the rim in a variety of ways. Meanwhile, Awasika is a fiesty defender that has the potential to be a bona fide stopper this season.
Brandon Summer Brandon Summer 6'2" | CG Lenawee Christian | 2024 State MI (2024, G, Adrian Lenawee Christian) vs. Nate Pierson (2023, G, Plymouth Christian)
There isn’t a much more exciting scenario than when 2 shooters square off. That’s what you have in this matchup. Both of these players have pretty jumpers with definite 3 point range. If one of them gets hot when facing each other, it could be a real game changer.
Elliot Addleman (2022, F, Adrian Lenawee Christian) vs. Cam Weller (2023, F, Plymouth Christian)
This could be the best battle in the paint at the scrimmages. Both can battle in the paint and will be asked to be active on the glass all day on Saturday. What really makes this matchup exciting though, is that both players are athletic and can step to the perimeter. Addleman cn use his athleticism to get to the rim while Weller can be used to stretch the floor.
