The 2017 Prep Hoops All State Teams were selected by several contributors with knowledge of the entire state of Michigan, taking into account: how valuable they were to their team’s success, on court performance, statistics, record, strength of schedule, postseason success and recommendations from coaches.
*There is a reason Romeo Weems is not on the list. Similar to Ellison, he will be on a article posted in the near future.*
Class B Player of the Year:Eric Williams- 2017 6’5 SG New Haven
He and Romeo Weems led New Haven to places they have never gone, winning their school’s first state championship. Williams was fantastic all season, especially on the biggest stage. In the semifinals, Williams was on another level, outscoring Benton Harbor alone in the first half. He made perhaps the most exciting play of the state finals weekend as well, throwing down a huge dunk from the B1G logo in the state title game. Williams was committed to a D2 school, but wisely decommitted. He is now picking up interest from a host of D1 schools, including Ohio State. Williams had several huge scoring outbursts this year, including 50, 40 and 38 point games this season. He averaged 21 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4 assists and 3.9 steals and likely will play Division one basketball next year.
