Waterford Our Lady of Lakes (26-1) 6’4” wing/guard Andrew Kline is the Class D preseason Player of the Year and they still have a strong core from a team that fell short of their goal last year in the state semi-final. - IPS Basketball
 

 

Coming off a state semifinal appearance, Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes will have to replace leading scorer Nick Robak, but the Lakers will have one of the league’s top players back in senior PG Andrew Kline (13.1 ppg., 6.3 apg.), who is poised for a big senior season. Beyond Kline, it will be a lineup full of players from the state runner-up football team, such as seniors Clay Senerius, Devin Senerius and Chris Cartier. Of course, there is another Robak to watch in the form of promising freshman G Noah Robak. .. MiPrepZone

(15-10, Class A): Longtime coach Greg Esler is optimistic about De La Salle’s chances for a long postseason run after advancing to the Class A regional championship game last year, losing to Detroit Western. De La Salle returns multiple starters, including Central Michigan-bound Kevin McKay (20 points, 4 assists), a 6-4 senior,  and 6-9 junior center Jack Ballantyne (8 points). Other top players include 6-5 sophomore guard Luke Pfromm, 6-4 senior Quinton Glaspie and sophomore point guard Justin Fischer. “I’m excited with this team since we have a player in Kevin McKay who can dominate and we have depth where we have a solid seven or eight players,” Esler said. -  Detroit News

 

Outlook: Wing Kevin McKay (CMU) has improved his three-point shooting and is 271 points away from the school’s career scoring record, which is quite an achievement given the Pilots’ history. Junior Jack Ballantyne, 6-10, moves well for his size and needs to become more assertive rebounding and shot-blocking for the Pilots to become a force in the Central Division. Sophomore Luke Pfromm, 6-4, will help inside and on the perimeter. Sophomore Justin Fischer could become an exceptional point guard. Collin Roach is the defensive stopper. -  Detroit Free Press

 

Warren De La Salle (15-10), A: Last season the Pilots won their 18th district title in the last 22 seasons before losing to eventual state champion Detroit Western is a regional final. Three starters return including one of the state’s top players, Kevin McKay (6-4). This is a young team but there is experience. Junior Jack Ballantyne (6-9) averaged eight points last season and coach Greg Esler said he expects his post player to be much improved. Sophomore Luke Pfromm is strong 6-4 wing who’s one of the team’s best shooters. Sophomore Justin Fischer (6-2) will play the point. Three are but three seniors on this team so it might take time to develop the proper chemistry. - State Champs
