Continue ReadingGrassroots season is officially underway, and we are coming up on our first live period of the year this upcoming weekend. These players already played a huge impact for their high school teams, and they are certainly ready for a big summer against tough competition. Here are some of the 2026s you should see this travel season.
Camri Hobbs Camri Hobbs 6’0″ | PG Jay M. Robinson | 2026 State NC comes from a very athletic group of siblings. She has great size on the basketball court, and what sets her apart is how she uses that size as a point guard. She handles the ball really well having an awareness on the court of how to move and protect the possession. She uses one move to get by her opponents, and she can pull up for her jump shot, too. Her ability to shoot around the arc is fun to watch as well. You can catch her at Boo Williams Nike Invitational in Hampton, Virginia this weekend.
Autumn Washington Autumn Washington 5’11” | SG Ardrey Kell | 2026 State NC has been showing off her versatility on the court against some of the top competition with her Team Curry teammates for the past several seasons, and she was a full court asset with Ardrey Kell as a freshman. She is quick handling the ball driving hard to the hoop herself, or she can set herself up on the block to get some post points off her moves in the paint. She has a quick release on her jumper around the arc making it easy for her to hit the three. You can catch her this weekend at Spooky Nook in Manheim, Pennsylvania.
Highlights
Kelsey Rhyne Kelsey Rhyne 5’10” | SG Lake Norman | 2026 State NC started high school with a powerful Lake Norman team and immediately found herself in a starting position. She is an highly efficient scorer knocking down her shot from deep even if her defender somehow manages to get a hand in her face. She attacks the basket showing off some nice dribble moves and adjustments to score at the rim. While many defenders want to push their opponents to the left side of the court, they find it difficult to do it with this left-handed athlete. You can find her this weekend at Boo Williams Nike Invitational in Hampton, Virginia.
Highlights
Gabrielle Troy-Mebane Gabrielle Troy-Mebane 5’7″ | CG Link Academy | 2026 MO is very fun to watch on the court with the energy that she brings. She pushes the ball increasing the tempo finding her open teammates with some nice dishes up the court or in the paint between multiple defenders. Her ability to step outside and knock down the shot or attack the basket shows how she can score on all levels. She’s tough on defense, too, being able to strip the ball from her opponents and explode up the court for some fast break points. You can catch her this weekend at The Clash in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Hannah Moss Hannah Moss 5’7″ | PG Independence | 2026 State NC has shown her strength attacking the basket and protecting every possession since her middle school days, and she has continued that into her high school career with Independence. She knows how to attack her defender and get the position she wants to score. She has some nice jump shots from the paint even through contact, and she controls the tempo for her team handling the ball. You can catch her this weekend at the Apache Memorial Showcase in Knoxville, Tennessee.
Jeanna Baskerville Jeanna Baskerville 6’1″ | C West Forsyth | 2026 State NC uses her positioning on the court to see everything around her including how to make some nice dishes to her teammates cutting to the block. She uses her wide stance and height to make it difficult for anyone to score near the basket, and that strength translates well to the other end of the court as she can seal off her opponents anywhere to get the entry pass for her points. She follows shots easily coming down with the rebound. You can find her this weekend at Spooky Nook in Manheim, Pennsylvania.
