HONORABLE MENTIONS
Kofi Barima (2022, F, Parchment)
Parchment pushed their record to 9-0 with a big win over Kalamazoo Christian. Barima led the charges by scoring 18 points and snagging 14 rebounds. The athletic finisher has a lot of upside.
Jalend Brock Jalend Brock 6'3" | SF Bendle | 2022 State MI (2022, G/F, Bendle)
Brock was outstanding in his team’s victory over Clio. He finished the game with 20 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 steals. Brock is a high upside wing that small colleges will really want to keep an eye on.
Joe Francis Joe Francis 6'4" | SG Adrian | 2022 State MI (2022, SG, Adrian)
I really believe that Francis is worthy of a look as a finalist for Mr. basketball this year. He has been a firestorm on offense all year and was once again in a tough 72-61 win against Battle Creek Lakeview. He finished the contest with 34 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists.
Keenan Hatto (2022, G, Allendale)
Allendale picked up a big win over Hamilton, notching a 61-55 victory. Hatto led the charges with a staggering offensive performance. He finished the game with 33 points, including 24 of the coming off 8 three pointers. Hatto and his shooting are turning heads toward Allendale.
Dylan Hofmann Dylan Hofmann 6'4" | CG Royal Oak | 2023 State MI (2023, CG, Royal Oak)
Hofman led his team to a 59-40 win against Stoney Creek. He went off for a game high high 30 points, showing his upside as a go to scorer.
Jack Karasinski Jack Karasinski 6'5" | SF Grand Rapids Catholic Central | 2022 State MI (2022, SF, Grand Rapids Catholic Central)
Karasinski apparently didn’t have any rust to shake off after missing a few games with an injury. He finished with 20 points in a win over Wayland.
Patrick Kombo Patrick Kombo 5'11" | PG Arbor Prep | 2022 State MI (2022, PG, Arbor Prep)
Kombo is an explosive guard off the dribble and he was just that in Arbor Prep’s 46-38 victory against Pinckney. He led his team with 22 points and also dropped off 4 assists.
Devin Lilly Devin Lilly 6'3" | CG Chippewa Valley | 2022 State MI (2022, PG, Chippewa Valley)
Lilly led Chippewa Valley to a tough win against a game Roseville squad. He set the tone on both ends and came away with 21 points in the game. His ball handling and passing was outstanding last night.
Alden Ritt Alden Ritt 6'7" | PF Lake Orion | 2022 State MI (2022, F, Lake Orion)
Ritt led the way in his team’s 57-32 win over Avondale. He’s a matchup nightmare and he used it enroute to a 26 point game. Titt also pulled down 8 rebounds.
Grant Stockford Grant Stockford 6'2" | SF Clinton | 2023 State MI (2023, SF, Clinton)
Stockford led the way for Clinton in a 62-53 victory over Morenci. The underrated and athletic star went off, scoring 27 points. He also grabbed 9 rebounds, had 4 swipes, and dished off 3 assists.
Ian Weller Ian Weller 6'6" | PF Jackson Northwest | 2022 State MI (2022, C, Jackson Northwest)
Northwest was very impressive in it’s 67-26 defeat of Hastings. Weller is turning heads as he continues to be a gamechanger in the paint. Last night, he finished with 22 points.
Brayden Wine Brayden Wine 6'4" | PF Olivet | 2023 State MI (2023, PF, Olivet)
Wine was once again a physical presence in the lane. He helped his team earn a 59-54 win against Bronson by scoring 22 points and snagging 7 rebounds.
Jacob Zartman (2022, G/F, Otsego)
Zartman’s team lost by 2 in overtime to Byron Center, but I couldn’t leavea new name off the list. He led his team and went off with 27 points in the contest.
MOP
Tyler Jamison Tyler Jamison 6'4" | SF Port Huron Northern | 2023 State MI (2023, G/F, Port Huron Northern)
Seriously, this is borderline crazy. Didn’t Jamison just break a scoring record? Well, he broke his own record by catching fire and torching the nets for 59 points. Jamison’s offensive outbreak led to a 75-62 Port Huron Northern victory against Cousino. But that’s not all. He also pulled down a staggering 20 rebounds.
