WHICH SCHOOL IN MICHIGAN IS THE BB FACTORY?
If we look at raw numbers, Detroit King leads with 10 players (as of 2005) with those players averaging 4.57 ppg. Detroit Renaissance has six with 4.77 ppg. The Biggest production comes out of Detroit Country Day with six players averaging 9.62 ppg (that was 2005)
Looking at Starters (2005) again King leads with 4 players (Jeanette Woodbury-Wright State, Rhea Mays-Wright State, Keshonda Williamson-Northern Illinois, Tishona Gregory-Florida) their combined ppg was 7.18; Detroit Country Day had 3 players start (Elise Morrison-Dartmouth, Carrie Moore-Western Michigan, Brittney Dixon-Central Connecticut State). These three combined for a 14.3 ppg.
Both schools are living up to their factory potential again with King sending two to D1 programs next season (Laquisha Whitfield to Michigan, Jasmine Stone to Temple). Country Day has some young talent that will arrive at that destination in the future.

HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING
