Mattie Zingg Mattie Zingg 6'0" | SF Glendale | 2026 State MO ( Missouri Flight 17U): The 6’1″ wing player from Glendale was putting in work at the Classic while playing two years up with the 17U team. She was very tough to stop when she was able to get downhill with her dominant left hand. She was scoring on the straight line drive and she could also break down defenders with a variety of escape moves off the dribble. Her court vision was also excellent as she dropped a few nice dimes while on the move. She was also pulling up and hitting the perimeter jumper.

Savannah Stricker Savannah Stricker 5'10" | SG Incarnate Word Academy | 2026 State MO (Napheesa Collier Elite 15U Olufson): The 5’10” guard from Incarnate Word Academy helped her team to the Elite 40 Platinum Division championship with her excellent all-around play. She was one of the best passers that we watched at the event as she consistently spoon-fed her teammates with passes that were right in their comfort areas to score. She thinks like a point guard, but she plays anywhere from the point to the four-spot with her height and versatility. She is very effective when she’s on the drive and she can knock down the open 3-pointer. She started picking up Division I and II offers after the event.

Tess Krieger Tess Krieger 6'1" | SG Clayton | 2026 State MO (Napheesa Collier Elite 15 Oldani): The 6’0″ wing player from Ursuline Academy is a talent young prospect with a nice skill set and a big upside. She is very fluid in her movements on the court as she can go coast to coast off the dribble after a rebound or she can hit the defender with a step-back 3-pointer. She was very good at getting into the lane and hitting the mid-range jumper as she elevates over smaller defenders with ease. She was also having a big impact on the defensive end with her length and athleticism with steals and blocked shots. Her timing was good as she was getting blocks without fouling.

Diamond Polk Diamond Polk 5'6" | CG Lift for Life | 2026 State MO ( Lady Brad Beal Elite 15U): The 5’9″ guard from Lift for Life plays a nice, controlled game with good fundamentals. She plays in a lineup with two good point guards, but she is quite capable of taking the ball and being a playmaker with good passing and decision making. She just made good simple passes that led to good shots for her teammates. She can also make a perimeter shot and create for herself off the dribble.
******
Peyton Olufson (Napheesa Collier Elite 15U Olufson): The 5’7″ guard from Incarnate Word picked up All-Tournament offers after helping her team to the championship of the Elite 40 Platinum Division. She shot the ball at a terrific clip from 3-point range throughout the event. She was constantly on the move and did a nice job relocating to the open spots to set up her quick release shooting. She is also a solid ball handler and playmaker who could set up her teammates with her passing skills. She has been picking up new Division I scholarship offers in recent days after the tournament.
******
Braylin Brunkhorst Braylin Brunkhorst 5'11" | SG Centralia | 2026 State MO (Shock Hoops, OK 16U): A 5’10” guard from Centralia did a nice job while playing up with the 16U team during the week. She was very tough to stop on the dribble when she was able to scoring on strong takes in the lane. She took the contact and still was able to convert with her physical strength. She was also making open perimeter shots and delivering pinpoint passes to teammates. She plays the game with a high motor as she is constantly on the move.
******
Marleigh Allen (St Louis Lady Gators 15U): A 5’8″ guard from Eureka who has an impressive shooting stroke from 3-point range. When she gets a good look, she’s going to knock down the triples at a pretty accurate rate. She has solid fundamentals as she moves well without the ball and can handle the ball without making a lot of mistakes.
******
Kate Rubel Kate Rubel 6'0" | SG Cape Notre Dame | 2026 State MO (Napheesa Collier Elite 15U Oldani): The 6’0″ shooting guard from Cape Notre Dame is a matchup problem for opposing defenses because she uses her height and versatile skill set to her advantage. The young lefty can see over defenders to pass the ball effectively. She can back down smaller defenders into the lane for easy scoring opportunities or beat bigger players off the straight line drive. She has a nice shot from the perimeter and she is good at keeping her game under control with the ball in her hands.
