Good GMC West Michigan Allstar: Lexi Miller

The latest Good GMC West Michigan All Star is Lexi Miller, sophomore point guard on Caledonia’s basketball team.

In a game that had been hotly contested throughout, Caledonia had played almost the entire fourth quarter with a slim lead. Finally, late in the quarter, they managed to increase that lead to as many as four points.  Comfortable, relatively speaking.

But with just under a minute left, Allendale senior Kelsey Seitsema changed all that, tying the game with a remarkable four-point play.  And with the play, the tide, the crowd, and all the momentum abruptly swung away from Caledonia.  And just like that the Fighting Scots were fighting an uphill battle.

Even as a sophomore, Miller understood this.  More than that, she knew it was now or never, and her team needed her to make a play.

She did them one better — she made two.

Miller stole the ball from an Allendale player and was fouled in the act of shooting.  Ice in her vains, she stepped to the line in one of the most clutch situations in sports and nailed the two accompanying free throws.  Then, with seven seconds left on the clock, she nailed two more to secure the four-point victory.

Miller lead the game with 18-points, but it was her steal and cold-blooded free-throwery during the clutch moments of the game that gave her team the win.   Congratulations to Lexi Miller, the latest Good GMC West Michigan Allstar.
