<p>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.</p> <h2>Division 3</h2> <h3>Hanover-Horton vs. Ypsilanti Arbor Prep</h3> <p>LOCATION</p> <p>@ Tecumseh</p> <p>KEY PLAYERS</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="863966" first="Carson" last="Sanders"] (2022, CG, Hanover-Horton)</strong></p> <p>Sanders has a huge upside as a prospect and is an efficient and well schooled player.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="814671" first="Malcolm" last="Clements"] (2021, SG, Ypsilanti Arbor Prep)</strong></p> <p>Clements is a strong player that plays with a lot of grind and grit. His toughness can lead the way.</p> <p><span style="font-size: 1rem;">PREDICTION</span></p> <p>Hanover-Horton</p> <h3>Detroit Loyola vs. Flint Beecher</h3> <p>LOCATION</p> <p>@ Waterford Mott</p> <p>KEY PLAYERS</p> <p><strong>Tyran Griffin (2022, SG, Detroit Loyola)</strong></p> <p>Griffin can be a momentum changer off the wing. His above the rim finishes can change the feel of a game.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="811109" first="Keyon" last="Menifield"] Jr. (2021, PG, Flint Beecher)</strong></p> <p>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.</p> <p>PREDICTION</p> <p>Flint Beecher</p> <h3>Grand Rapids Covenant Christian vs. Schoolcraft</h3> <p>LOCATION</p> <p>@ Kalamazoo Loy Norrix</p> <p>KEY PLAYERS</p> <p><strong>Zach Gritters (2022, CG, Grand Rapids Cevenant Christian)</strong></p> <p>Gritters has that ’it’ factor. He’s proven in these playoffs that he can catch fire and spark the team offensively.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="863986" first="Tyler" last="DeGroote"] (2022, SG, Schoolcraft)</strong></p> <p>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.</p> <p>PREDICTION</p> <p>Schoolcraft</p> <h3>Iron Mountain vs. McBain</h3> <p>LOCATION</p> <p>@ Lake City</p> <p>KEY PLAYERS</p> <p><strong> [player_tooltip player_id="611403" first="Foster" last="Wonders"] (2021, SF, Iron Mountain)</strong></p> <p>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.</p> <p><strong>McBain’s DEFENSE</strong></p> <p>It’s a total team effort for McBain, and they have proved so far that defense does indeed win championships.</p> <p>PREDICTION</p> <p>Iron Mountain</p>
