No, it’s not to see if players can dunk over the goal posts after scoring. The vertical jump is to test explosiveness, and is a great event for the smaller players to shine. Which makes the performance of Grand Rapids West Catholic junior pass-rush ace Mitchell Stanitzek that much more impressive, as at 6-4, 215 he is the largest player in the top 10. Another guy with good size and ups is Reed City junior Derek Lodholtz, second at 38 1/2″.
