PLAYER OF THE YEAR
Maddie Petroelje Maddie Petroelje 6'1" | SF Hudsonville | 2023 State MI (SF, Hudsonville)
It’s extremely difficult to name a Player of the Year for the sophomore class. There’s different needs and expectations for every player. The team, the program, and the readiness of the athlete all play significant roles in what a player might do as a sophomore. Petroelje played on a top team in the state and was ready for big time games and situations when she stepped into high school a couple years ago. She was a matchup nightmare all season long and was a big part of Hudsonville’s state championship run. Petroelje was one of the top 3 point shooters in the state, knocking them down at a ridiculous 51% clip. If you manage to slow her down from deep, she is more than comfortable going down low and banging in the paint. Petroelje is as tough as they come, both mentally and physically. She holds herself to a high standard and expects greatness. The best thing about that is the fact that she’s delivered that greatness for 2 years now. Congratulations to Maddie Petroelje Maddie Petroelje 6'1" | SF Hudsonville | 2023 State MI on being named the Prep Girls Hoops Player of the Year for the class of 2023.
