“Wow” is honestly the best description that I can give regarding Charter’s performance in a Clarkston win against Rochester. It was one of the best passing performances I’ve seen this season. Every pass was with a purpose and on target. It seemed like Charter connected with Hayden Flavin time and time again. Flavin would seal his defender and Charter hit him with a pass over top of the defense for a high percentage bucket. He even sliced through the defense with a pass when needed. Charter is a big and strong lead guard and he utilized that multiple times with physical rim attacks that led to points.
Highlights
Cruz Hitzler

Effort and energy plays are critical and that’s what stood out to me with Hitzler’s performance in a tough loss to a talented Paw Paw team. He made big plays and let his defense dictate his game, which was definitely effective. Hitzler contested passes and didn’t let ball movement come easily, even picking up at least 1 deflection. He had a steal that he turned directly into points by assisting a score on the other end of the floor. Hitzler scored on a dribble drive and 1 as well as off a put back bucket.

Bowen is part of an extremely talented young Paw Paw core. After watching him against Hopkins, I really think that we’ll be seeing much more of him as his high school basketball career continues. Bowen picked up speed quickly with smooth acceleration when the ball was in his hands. He showed some really nice touch on the ball with a pretty floater and a quick little flip in later. Bowen made an influence on both ends, exemplified by a steal followed by an accurate over the top downcourt pass that led to a bucket.

It’s not about the numbers for Hayden Barrow Hayden Barrow SG Clarkston | 2026 State MI , but more about the eye test, and he passed with flying colors. He had an athleticism and ease of movement that caught my eye. Barrow just seemed comfortable in an physical situation. He showed this with an athletic righty take to the rim that he turned into 2 points. Barrow seemed to have a solid basketball IQ with an understanding of what his team needed from him.
