Team Michigan Downs Team Ohio in 2025 Game

John "Trey" McKinney III & Arness Lawson-2025 MVPs

In the 2^nd all-star game of the day at the Buckeye Prep Elite Showcase, a very talented Michigan squad used a team-oriented approach and an effective full-court press to take home a 67-54 win.  Although it was nip and tuck for most of the game, and Team Ohio was ahead during the course of the game, by the time the horn sounded, the “Team Up North” had secured bragging right for another year over the Buckeyes.

MVPs for the game were  Michigan's John “Trey" McKennny III, who finished with a game-high points 26 points and Columbus’ Arness Lawson, who knocked down a team-high 17 points.  Also playing well were Michigan’s Jayden Savoury who added 18 points and Cincinnati’s Michael Maldanado who poured in 12 points.

All-in all, it was a very competitive game. Next up is the 2026 Ohio vs Michigan game, which will feature Ohio’s best against many of Michigan’s top guys.
