Gaden Muxlow Gaden Muxlow 6'4" | CG Brown City | 2023 State MI (2023, CG, Brown City)
Muxlow led his team with 19 points in a nearly last second 44-42 win over Port Huron. Muxlow simply continues to be a nearly impossible matchup with his combination of size, strength, and shooting.
#7
Dontez Scott Dontez Scott 6'0" | PG Summit Academy North | 2024 State MI (2024, PG, Summit Academy)
Scott is successfully adjusting to an increased role on both ends for Summit Academy. He had 18 points in a solid 48-42 victory over Kalamazoo Central. Scott is a pure playmaker off the perimeter.
#6
Devin Waugh (2022, SG, Detroit Southeastern)
Waugh was a huge part of his team’s 66-54 win over Jalen Rose Leadership Academy. Waugh was terrific attacking the defense off the wing and creating opportunities. He finished the contest with 22 points.
#5
Jack Karasinski Jack Karasinski 6'5" | SF Grand Rapids Catholic Central | 2022 State MI (2022, G/F, Grand Rapids Catholic Central)
Karasinski was his typical elite type player yesterday. He led his squad with 23 points in a marquee game win over Grand Blanc. Karasinski is so smart and efficient on the offensive end, helping his team maximize almost every possession.
#4
JaVaughn Hannah JaVaughn Hannah 6'4" | SG Orchard Lake St. Mary's | 2022 State #221 Nation MI (2022, SG, Orchard Lake St. Mary’s)
Hannah was huge in a matchup between top 10 teams. He led his team with 23 points in a message sending 70-51 victory against a high quality Ferndale squad. Hannah might be the most explosive scorer in the state this year.
#3
Chansey Willis Chansey Willis 6'2" | PG Detroit King | 2022 State MI (2022, PG, Detroit King)
If Willis continues to play like this, he’ll be a finalist for Mr. Basketball, hands down. He wet off for a double-double with 38 points and 10 assists in a very impressive 80-47 win over Saginaw. Willis has been simply unstoppable so far this season.
#2
Gannon Blair (2022, PF, Divine Child)
Blair had himself a day, that’s for sure. He absolutely dominated the game, dropping in 33 points and snagging 18 rebounds. Blair’s big time performance enabled his team to secure an impressive 72-64 win against a game L’Anse Creuse team.
#1
Tyler Jamison Tyler Jamison 6'4" | SF Port Huron Northern | 2023 State MI (2023, SF, Port Huron Northern)
Jamison led his team to a 60-57 win over a very good Troy Athens team. He absolutely went off, finishing with a school record 47 points and also grabbing 9 rebounds. He just couldn’t miss en route to scoring just over 78% of his team’s points.
