The 16U division has several teams capable of picking up hardware every weekend. Rosters remain subject to change. This is Summer ball after all.
In no particular order.
Mustangs-Faletti- Things start-up front with Trevion “Tractor Trailer” Williams, a dominating 6-7 wide-body from Dearborn Henry Ford Academy. They also feature the 3D, DeWitt’s dynamic duo in 6-6 Luke Hyde and 6-4 Tanner Reha. Add Danny Kolp 6-8 from Petoskey and this team definitely packs a punch inside.
Reach Legends- Nice front-court tandem between 6-7 Quinn Blair (Dearborn Divine Child) at one forward and Tray Jackson 6-7 Detroit Western at other the forward to cause match-up problems. Rashad Williams has had a pleasant Spring scoring the ball, and Matthew Richmond is a steady extension of a coach on the floor.
1 Nation- This team can really run. Godwin Heights guard Lamar Norman is a deadly scorer. Markeese Hastings, also from Godwin Heights, adds length inside. Jalen Tobias is tough to keep off the glass to go along with an improving skill-set, and P.J. Mitchell from Detroit Loyola is really coming into his own shooting the ball and has improved defensively.
FAMILY- This team is led by David DeJulius, he is a great floor general and has the ability to take over a game. Add 6-4 Bryce Washington from Southfield Christian and 2019 diminutive but skilled guard Julian Dozier from U of D Jesuit to bolster up the back-court. Up front is Deante “Spider” Johnson 6-8 from Detroit Edison holding down the paint.
Michigan Gators- The Gators are an old school type team that rely on yet again a good backcourt. Brandon Wade does it all and is a top five player in the ’18 class. His splash brother, Skyline teammate Jack Ammerman, can shoot it from anywhere. Ann Arbor Huron forward Avery Lewis has a high-motor and is an inside threat for the Gators.
Michigan Warriors- The warriors have a deep line-up. Their back-court has Belleville’s speedy grid-iron guard Karme Carey and Milan sharpshooter Trevor Ballard. Walled lake Northern’s Huston Tucker, DJ Lundy from Romulus and Devin Alverson from Belleville command respect in the paint. This team already took gold at the Chicago Jamfest
TEAM BASKETBALL- Team Basketball is well coached and they come at you with a pair of talented and high IQ guards in Nate Davis 6-2 (Rochester Stoney Creek) and Justin Fischer 6-2 (Warren De La Salle) . This team makes few mistakes on the offensive end, especially in the half-court.
North Oakland Wolfpack- The Wolfpack are led by Clarkston guard C.J. Robinson. Robinson a plus scorer and loves to get to the rack. Tristen Mysen, a teammate of Robinson at Clarkston, is a presence on the glass at 6-6. The Wolfpack captured gold at the Warrior tournament.
