Leading the charge is nationally ranked 2027 Sydney Savoury, one of the most unstoppable scorers in Michigan. She’s flanked by elite-level talent, including sharp shooter Se’Crette Carter, one of the top prospects in Michigan’s 2028 class, and Paisley Stephens. Add in top-5 2027 Layla Stewarts’ all-around versatility, and this group has both star power and cohesion. The rotation gets a boost from the steady play of Christine Chinemulu and Jaida Quinn, giving Belleville flexibility and toughness on both ends of the floor. As if that weren’t enough, two rising 2029 standouts, Mo McKinney and Janiah Batchelor, bring even more firepower to an already stacked roster.
2. Wayne Memorial (Division 1)
5. Detroit Renaissance (Division 1)
Leading the way is electric guard Jae’bri Autry, an explosive scorer in transition who’s nearly impossible to contain in the open floor. The backcourt is stacked with young firepower, featuring 2028 standouts Kassidy Cain and Maria Walker, along with experienced 2026 playmaker Victoria Gambles. With depth, athleticism, and versatility throughout the roster, Renaissance has waves of talent ready to contribute.
6. Tecumseh (Division 2)
The defending Division 2 state champs are picking up right where they left off. Tecumseh returns with a loaded roster, hungry to defend their title and make another deep run. Powerful 2027 forward Addi Zajac continues to dominate the paint, bringing physicality, touch, and toughness inside. On the perimeter, guards Makayla Schlorf and Chloe Bullinger can match up with anyone in the state, skilled, smart, and battle-tested. The tradition continues with 2029 Avery Zajac, who already looks poised to carry on the family legacy of high-level play along with classmate Delaney Brown.
7. Muskegon (Division 1)
Muskegon is absolutely oozing with talent, headlined by Charlotte commit Mariah Sain, one of the best players in the entire state.

Muskegon will hang its hat on tough defense, pressure, and elite transition play, making it one of the most dangerous teams on any schedule.
8. Howell (Division 1)
Christmas came early for Howell with the addition of two major talents: nationally ranked 2026 star Lilly Williams and her highly skilled sidekick, 2028 standout Lyla Valentine. Both transferred in and immediately elevated the program’s ceiling. They join an already strong core featuring one of the best shooters in the state, Gabby Piepho; tough, dual-threat wing Mackenzie Duthe; and very skilled forward Gabrielle Fischhaber, giving Howell a balanced, dangerous lineup on both ends of the floor.
9. Midland (Division 1)
Midland is quickly becoming one of the most exciting young teams to watch in the state, fearless, fast, and full of high-motor players with the skill to match.
The tone is set by a dynamic group of 2028 guards: Kaiya Mohair and the do-it-all McGlaughlin twins, Ella and Emma. Whether it’s pushing the pace, locking down defensively, or making big plays in the clutch, this trio leads with intensity and poise beyond their years.
Holding it all together is 2028 post presence Ellee Arnold, the team’s glue player who brings toughness, rebounding, and a steady inside game. Add in the guidance and stability of a few experienced vets, and this team has the perfect blend of youth and experience.
10. Jackson Lumen Christi (Division 3)

Their youth movement is real, with 2028 Lucy Wrozek and 2028 Erin O’Dowd, two rising talents who continue to grow every time they step on the floor. With solid shooting, a tough mindset, and a group that competes possession by possession, Lumen will look to ride their young core and play deep into March.
11. Grand Haven (Division 1)
Grand Haven went 22-4 last season with three losses coming to state runner-up Rockford. The Buccaneers return a trio of standout juniors, Mallory Woiteshek, Georgia Reinecke, and Bria Hogeboom, and a senior. Nadia Prieditis. This could be the year that they finally get over the hump and make it back to East Lansing come March.
12. Goodrich (Division 2)
Goodrich brings a well-rounded, disciplined squad to the floor, led by 2026 Northwood commit Kayla Hairston, a tough guard who sets the tone on both ends. Alongside her is 2027 do-it-all guard Baylor Lauinger, a versatile playmaker who impacts every possession. 2026 Tanner Schramm is the glue—steady, reliable, and willing to do whatever the team needs. Goodrich will lean on their team-first identity and fundamentally sound approach to rack up a lot of wins this season.
13. Grass Lake (Division 3)
Grass Lake rolls out a deep, balanced roster from top to bottom, headlined by 2026 Davenport commit Mya Viegelahn and 2027 GVSU commit Reese Lape, two proven producers who anchor the group. 2027 Elise Bullock, Brooke Starkey, and 2028 Adalyn Jarchow give the Warriors more firepower, length, and versatility across the floor. Add in Hadleigh White, one of the best 2029 prospects in the state, and you’ve got a lineup built for noise all season long. Grass Lake has talent, depth, and a competitive edge—everything needed to be a real problem this year.
14. Orchard Lake St Mary‘s (Division 1)
There’s a lot to love about this team’s potential. With a balanced backcourt that can both score and facilitate, they’re led by the dynamic 2027 duo of Allie Creighton and Jordan Ratliff, both smart, skilled guards who can control the game and make plays in big moments. On the wings, 2027 standouts Laney Larson and Reese Holton bring athleticism and versatility, consistently getting to their spots and making things happen on both ends. Add in 2026 forward Brooke Shockey a tough, physical presence with a high motor and this team has all the pieces to make a serious run.
15. Saginaw Heritage (Division 1)
The babies are growing up, and they’re becoming a serious problem. Heritage is turning heads with a young core that’s maturing fast and playing with confidence. Veteran 2026 leaders Alesia Ode, a versatile all-around threat, and the highly skilled Breeghan Hamilton anchor the team with experience and poise. Behind them is a dynamic 2028 group featuring Jayla Laster, Zaria McCray, Joslyn Ode, London Newton, and Brooklyn Isom, each bringing athleticism, energy, and upside to the floor.
16. Powers Catholic (Division 2)
Powers will be led by one of the top 2026 players in the state, Liberty commit Kendyl Smith, a do-it-all standout who impacts every part of the game. 2026 Paige Ringwelski, a Davenport commit, is a proven scorer who gives them a consistent offensive punch, while 2027 Bella Harley is the glue piece, tough, steady, and willing to do whatever it takes to keep things running smoothly. With talent, grit, and balance, Powers will be a tough matchup all year long.
17. Haslett (Division 1)
Haslett returns four starters and appears poised to make a serious run this season. They are led by Caitlyn Johnson, a 2026 SVSU commit who excels on both ends of the court, and Christina Dixon, a 2026 slasher and scorer who provides a constant offensive threat. Calvin commit Calista Blue, along with Avery Hannah and Alexis Turner, completes a tough, cohesive core that plays with great chemistry and confidence.
18. Detroit Edison (Division 2)
DEPSA will be a nightmare to match up with on the interior thanks to 2026 Kamaria Lowe (6’2″), Marianna Jones (6’0″), and rising 2027 forward Caitlyn Green. Their guard play will be the difference, led by 2027 Rihanna Young and the talented 2028 duo of Makayla Campbell and Madison Johnson.
19. West Bloomfield (Division 1)
West Bloomfield boasts a dynamic backcourt led by Sheridan Beal, a 2026 commit to North Alabama, and Malia Taylor, a lightning-fast guard class of 2028. This duo can change the course of a game in just minutes. Londyn Hall adds explosive athleticism on the wing, while Iyana Davis contributes strength and toughness in the paint, providing West Bloomfield with balance at every position. This program consistently finds a way to compete come March, and this year’s team shows no signs of breaking that trend.
20. Ann Arbor Father Gabriel Richard (Division 2)
FGR’s success this season will largely depend on their standout WMU commits, Ava and Vanessa. With their experience and leadership, the team has a strong foundation for a deep playoff run. A crucial factor will be how quickly the new rotation players can develop and adapt to the pace and intensity of varsity competition. A significant boost comes from rising star Allie Nielson (Class of 2029), whose skill and composure at such a young age already set her apart. If this group can work together as expected, FGR will be firmly in contention for a Division 2 title.
