Bank Hoops Player of the Year
Foster Loyer 5-11 Jr Clarkston: Loyer scored 29 points in the championship game after 32 in the semis to lead Clarkston to its first state title, a performance that ranks with Pershing’s Keith Appling in 2009 and Flint Northern’s Mateen Cleaves in 1995 as the most dominating Class A finals from a junior guard in the past 25 years. Like Appling and Cleaves, he’ll play at Michigan State. In the regular season he averaged 25.4 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds and 2.5 steals per game. Loyer shot .469 percent from three-point range and .957 percent from the foul line.
