    👀 @CadenceDykstra just WENT OFF for 25 points against Ohio Elite‼️‼️ Girl is a DOG on the court 💪🏼🏀 Hands down the top point guard prospect in the state of Michigan in the class of 2023. Don’t sleep on her.

    Should be Cadence Dykstra. The best player on the best team in the state. No losses and has dominated in every single game including a tough non-conference schedule. Hope the committee realizes she plays the game the right way. She could average 30 if she wanted to..

    West Michigan Drive 2025 Select 40 finishes 3-2 at Live at The Nook. Only had 5 girls all weekend. (Four 8-minute quarters, stopped clock). That’s 5 high school games in 3 days with no sub… My girls are so tough 💪🏼🏀😈😤

    @jacitubergen WENT OFF‼️‼️ 32 points, including 8 triples 🔥 leading GR Storm UA Rise 2022 to a WIN against 5 Star MBA Select. Definition of a HOOPER. Scores at all 3 levels, defends the other teams’ best scorer, & plays with a killer’s mentality😈 Fearless leader & proven winner

    So proud of my crew, they play with so much passion and energy, love how hard they compete‼️ They gave the overall #1 seed Nebraska Supreme all they could handle in the Sweet 16 of the Select 40 Finals, but fell short 40-44.

    Anna Wypych is SPECIAL. She’s got the “killer’s mentality” that very few possess. A 20-piece in the D1 State Ship… and she’s only a sophomore. The Best 2025 in the State and she just showed y’all why. Congrats killa, proud of you! @anna0wypych 🏆💍

    Now that aau szn is over, keep it 💯 @anna0wypych is HER. Tall/lengthy/athletic guard who possesses that rare “killer’s mentality.” Legit 20+ pts/game scorer on the Select 40 Circuit, guards the opponents best player, fearless, coachable, encourages teammates, & ALWAYS COMPETES‼️
