MOST OUSTANDING PLAYER
I really think that it has to go to Quadir Hatchett Quadir Hatchett 6'0" | PG Ottawa Hills | 2023 State MI from Wyoming. His team actually played twice and he ended up being a bucket all day long. In 2 game Hatchett scored a combined total of 60 points. He’s currently unranked in the senior class, but that will surely change at the next update, as he’s playing some excellent basketball and looks primed for a big senior season.
NOTES
Luke Marlan Luke Marlan 6'2" | PG Mason | 2024 State MI (Mason)
Marlan deserves to be talked about more. He’s one of the more efficient guards in the class of 2024 and showed it with his performance at this event.
Carlos Medlock (Wayne Memorial)
There’s been whispers about a couple of good young guards coming to Wayne Memorial. It looks like they’ve arrived and Medlock showed that he’s the real deal.
Mekhi Wingfield (Concord)
Wingield is an unranked senior, but that will change really fast with performances like these. He’s an athletic scorer that has a nose for the bucket. It was fun watching Wingfield and Hatchett go toe to toe in game 2.
