Jayna Burmeister, Freshman, Shelby Girls Basketball

It was just a matter of time before we saw the freshman out of Shelby on this list. She has lead her team in scoring consistently this season and the Tiger’s game against Hesperia was no different. In that game, she finished with 22 points, shooting an efficient 75% from the field and adding on another 8 rebounds as well.

Evan Miller, Senior, Oakridge Boys Basketball

Evan Miller is a key part to Oakridge’s 4 man scoring attack. Of which they used to defeat Fremont last week. In that game, he lead scoring, dropping 25 in a blowout win over the Packers.

Taj Williams, Sophomore, Ludington Boys Basketball

Taj has had a stellar season thus far with double digit scoring in most of Ludington’s games this year. He made the Player of the Week poll with a 26 point bomb last week against Montague. He lead his team in scoring and aided them in a win over the Cats’.
