Mid-Michigan Team Rankings (regardless of class)

 

1. Saginaw

Key players: Draymond Green  6’7”  Senior  F [Michigan State], Mike Green  6’1”  Junior  G, Courtney Washington  6’2”  Senior  G, Daniel West  6’2”  Senior  G

Key losses: Bobby Lewis – Jackson State, Josh Southern – Boston College

Enough has been written about this team, but they are the overall best in mid-Michigan. Draymond Green and Daniel West are the most talented duo in the state and the guys surrounding them are solid. Plus having a coach like Lou Dawkins in their corner doesn’t exactly hurt.

 

2. Flint Carman Ainsworth

Key players: Kieon Arkwright  5’11”  Senior  G, Demondre Chapman  6’6”  Sophomore  F, Jon Lee  6’1”  Senior G, Reggie Stallings  6’3”  Senior  G, Terrance Keaton  6’6”  Junior  F

An experienced perimeter and a talented post merge under new coach Bob Root. The margin for error is small.

 

3. Saginaw Arthur Hill

Key players: Omari Humes  6’5”  Junior  F, Maurice Jones-Cooper  5’5”  Sophomore  G, Latreze Mushatt  6’5”  Senior  F, Tyrie Wooten  5’10”  Senior  G

Key losses: Antoine Lundy, Tommie Prater, Dar Tucker – DePaul

Strong at every position, yet again. Arthur Hill can never be counted out.

 

4. Holt

Key players: Tom Brandenburg  6’3”  Senior  F, Cole Darling  6’6”  Sophomore  F, Donlunto Jackson  5’8”  Sophomore  G (right), Rashawn Molden  6’3”  Senior  F, Joe Powers  6’2”  Senior  G

Key losses: Paul Crosby – Navarro CC, Matt Naeyaert

Their perimeter is good; their post has size – why not?

 

5. Flint Powers Catholic

Key players: Shane Moreland  6’2”  Junior  G, Tyler Moreland  6’2”  Senior  G, Pat O’brien  6’3”  Sophomore  F

Key losses: Andrew Charlesworth – Mott CC, Laval Lucas-Perry – Arizona

The Morelands are two of the trickiest guards in the state and they’re surrounded by some pretty good talent.

 

6. Jackson

Key players: Demarcus Boysaw  6’6”  Senior  F, Daniel Hall  6’1”  Junior  G, Virgil McGuire  5’7”  Junior  G, Darryll Stinson  6’6”  Senior  F (right)

Key losses: Tercel Taylor – Keystone College

An experienced post allows a young, but talented, perimeter to grow.

 

7. Mount Pleasant

Key players: William Arnold  6’3”  Senior  G, Tyler Mills  6’3”  Senior  F, Trey Zeigler  6’5”  Sophomore

Key losses: Andrew Rhode, Andrew Thomas

Tough from positions one through five. William Arnold and Trey Zeigler are a dynamic duo.

 

8. Lansing Waverly

Key players: Ivan Parker  6’2”  Senior  G, Zach Saylor  6’8”  Senior  C [Central Michigan], Matt Slater  6’3”  Senior  F

Key losses: Tyler Bennett, Bryan Horn, Courtney Stephens

Losing Bryan Horn hurts, but there’s plenty left to steady the ship. They looked good in East Lansing this past summer.

 

9. Flint Southwestern

Key players: Demarkus Bracy  6’5”  Junior  F, Erik Fields  6’1”  Senior  G, Martell Northern  6’4”  Senior  F, Derrick Smith  5’11”  Senior  G, Tyrone Ward  6’4”  Senior  F

Key losses: Anthony Crater – Brewster Academy, Leviante Davis, Erving McFadden – St. Clair CC

Anthony Crater is gone and their coaching situation is a question mark, but there’s still plenty of talent.

 

10. Lansing Sexton

Key players: Deleon Dearing  6’0”  Senior  G, Javaughn Manuel  6’0”  Senior  G, Drew Valentine  6’5”  Junior  F (right)

Key losses: DeShaun Jones, Cameron Merchant

After a disappointing season last year, this may be their time to put it all together.

 

On the radar:

 

Flint Northwestern

Key players: Chris Campbell  6’3”  Junior C, Michael Parks  6’3”  Senior  F, Chatavius Turner  5’9”  Junior  G, Deandre Upchurch  5’10”  Junior  G (right), Devon Weaver  6’5”  Senior  F

Key losses: Damon Franklin – Texas Pan Am, Jeff Grayer, Marcus Green, LaMarcus Lowe – Vincennes CC

Upstart team that will be dangerous.

 

Haslett

Key players: Nick Frayer  5’9”  Senior  G, Caleb Herrik  5’9”  Senior  G, Ryan Jones  5’10”  Senior  G [Michigan State – baseball], RJ Kelly  6’5”  Senior  F, Derek Kuri  6’5”  Senior  F

Key losses: Randy Kidd, Zach Wakulsky

Experienced group with great coaching.

 

Lapeer East

Key players: Austin Aubert  6’2”  Senior  F, Daniel Elliott  6’4”  Senior  F, Austin Green  6’6”  Junior  C, Thomas LeClair  6’0”  Junior  G, Zak Smillie  6’0”  Senior  G, Keegan Turzyn  5’7”  Junior  G, Steve Wilmers  6’5”  Senior  F

Key losses: Eddie Johnson, Conner McCallum

Looked really impressive at the CAGE with only half their team.

 

Midland

Key players: Jeff Brown  6’4”  Senior  F, Chris O’Brien  6’3”  Senior  F, Colter Roberson  5’8”  Senior  G, Evan Sanders  5’11”  Senior  G, Chris Sims  6’4”  Junior  F, Kyle Wakeman  5’10”  Senior  G

Key losses: Andy Angus, Kelvin Carter – Hope College

Return solid players and inherit quality help from the JV. Transfer Chris Sims will be a big help.

 

Saginaw Buena Vista

Key players: Joseph Bond 6’1”  Senior  G, Devonte Jackson  5’6”  Sophomore  G, Demarcus McKormick  6’2”  Senior  G, Torian Oglesby  6’6”  Senior  F

Key losses: Joseph Henderson, LaQuintis Madison

Their starters could play for anyone in the state.
