DETROIT— A Mona Shores student has been named Michigan’s Miss Basketball.
Jordan Walker received the award from the Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan and the Detroit Free Press.
“Ending up with this is a dream come true,” she said. “I remember being in the gym dreaming about this, working and saying, ‘Should I put an extra 30 minutes in? Other Miss Basketball candidates are probably doing that now.’ So it pushed me and to be here today is a dream.”
“To see her fulfill her dreams has been amazing,” her coach, Brad Kurth, said. “She’s the epitome of what a Miss Basketball winner should be. She’s a person who, off the court, is the kind of kid you want everybody to look up to.”
Walker was a do-it-all performer for the Sailors this season, leading them to an O-K Black championship and a district title. She averaged 22.1 points, 8.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game and also set the school’s all-time scoring record.
