Performance of the Week: West Bloomfield's Indya Davis
February 10, 2023
Indya Davis ♦ West Bloomfield
Junior ♦ Basketball
Davis scored a game-high 21 points and grabbed nine rebounds as West Bloomfield defeated Detroit Edison 59-49 in a matchup of last season’s Division 1 and Division 2 champions, respectively. The Lakers also had defeated Edison during the 2021-22 regular season, when they became the first in-state opponent to defeat the Pioneers since January 2018. This winter, Davis is averaging 16.1 points – connecting on 51 percent of her shots from the floor – with 9.4 rebounds and 2.9 steals per game.
A 5-foot-9 guard, Davis was the leading scorer in both the Semifinal win over Rockford and the championship game victory over Hartland last year at the Breslin Center. West Bloomfield is 16-2 overall this season and has clinched a share of the Oakland Activities Association Red championship, and among a talented cast Davis continues to team with twin sister Summer, the Lakers’ leading scorer at 19.6 ppg who like Indya is considered among the state’s elite players. They’ll continue to team up after high school as well, having committed to sign with Michigan State.

Performance of the Week: Goodrich's Kayla Hairston
March 26, 2026
Kayla Hairston ♦ Goodrich
Senior ♦ Basketball
The Martians’ senior guard almost couldn’t miss during her team’s Division 2 championship victory over Tecumseh on Saturday, making 7 of 8 shots from the floor including 4 of 5 from 3-point range, and all three of her free throws to score a team-high 21 points as Goodrich prevailed 55-44. She scored 11 of those points during the fourth quarter as the Martians not only defeated the 2025 champion at Breslin Center, but finished a perfect season at 29-0 – becoming the first team to reach 29 wins in MHSAA girls basketball history.
Hairston also had a team-high 17 points in a 47-41 Semifinal win over Grand Rapids South Christian and finished this season averaging 14.5 points per game and topping 60 3-pointers. A returning all-stater this winter, Hairston was a four-year varsity player who as a freshman saw time in Goodrich’s 2023 Semifinal. She also runs track and made the MHSAA Finals as part of the 800 relay last season. Hairston will continue her basketball career at Northwood University.
