Jenna Maki ♦ Ishpeming

The 5-foot-10 guard made half of her shots in Ishpeming's 75-40 Division 4 Semifinal win over Fowler on Friday, scoring 30 points, and added 24 points, eight rebounds, six assists and six steals Saturday as the Hematites defeated Kingston 73-54 to clinch their first Finals championship.
Maki's 30th point in the Semifinal also was the 1,307th of her career and set the school scoring record, which she leaves at 1,331 after four varsity seasons. She raised her senior-year scoring average this week to 16.5 points per game, and Ishpeming finished the season 28-1.
