By Jeff Steers JTV Sports Michigan Center High School basketball player Shealyn Tripp has spent – what seems to be – a lifetime playing against 6-foot, 3-inch basketball player Bree Salenbien of Lenawee Christian High School. Tripp held her own against the 2019 Division 4 Associated Press player of the year and a player who has more than two dozen Division 1 offers to play college basketball.
