Fair Grove Tournament Class of 2026 Standouts

Prep Girls Hoops Missouri was in the Southwest part of the state to watch the second night of action at the Fair Grove Tournament. Here is a look at the Class of 2026 standouts who caught our attention on Thursday night.     <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/12/IMG_7796.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-815627" /></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='466067' first='Hailey' last='Buckman'] (Logan-Rogersville): The 6'0" 2026 guard is one of the top young prospects at the tournament. She has a smooth shooting stroke from 3-point range as she knocked down multiple triples. She is also the team's main ball handler and facilitator and she has a good feel for the game to do that. She has the ability to score from all three levels as she hit a few mid-range jumpers and she has the ability to score around the basket with her height.     *****   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/12/IMG_7831.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-815628" /></figure>     [player_tooltip player_id='722140' first='Lucy' last='Hafer'] (West Plains): A 5'8" 2026 guard who scored 11 points in the Lady Zizzers victory over Logan Rogersville in the semifinals. She is listed as a guard, but she is a very effective offensive player around the basket. She uses her strength to get buckets in traffic and she also positions herself well inside to get offensive rebounds and putbacks. She plays with a high motor at both ends of the court. She can also handle the ball and she hit an open 3-pointer as well.     ******   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/12/IMG_7825.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-815676" /></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='1235019' first='Eden' last='Kibby'] (Logan Rogersville): The 5'6" guard was one of the most impressive perimeter shooters that I watched during the evening. She scored a team-high 17 points in the semifinals against West Plains with most of them coming off her five 3-pointers. She really had things rolling in the first half when she hit four of her five triples with her smooth shooting stroke. She also attacked a close out and hit a one-dribble pull up from 15 feet, which was just as impressive to see as her five 3-pointers.     ******   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/12/IMG_7814.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-815680" /></figure>   Zoe Shrubb (West Plains): A 5'6" guard who comes off the bench to provide instant offense. She could easily be a starter, but she is very effective coming into the game and changing the flow with her offensive talent. I saw her in a game in Rolla last week and she had nine points off the bench and on Thursday night, she had 10 points. She can really shoot it from downtown as she hit multiple 3-point shots.     ******   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/12/IMG_7746.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-815681" /></figure>   Mackenzie Perryman (Lebanon): A 5'6" guard who came off the bench to provide some instant offense for her team. She has nice handles and she did a good job of playing at her own speed. She went where she wanted to go without being sped up. She was able to penetrate into the lane to either get a bucket inside or create a scoring opportunity for a teammate with a nice pass.     ******   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/12/IMG_7714.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-815682" /></figure>   Ella Newman (Clever): A 5'7" guard who has good athleticism and who plays with excellent pace. She was very good on her team's full court pressure with her anticipation and ability to play the passing lanes for steals. She also hit a couple of 3-pointers in the Jays' victory over Ava in the consolation bracket. She fits in well with a senior-laden lineup. She figures to ascend into a more prime-time role next season.     ******   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/12/IMG_7794.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-815683" /></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='624612' first='Reagan' last='Rasmussen'] (Logan Rogersville): A 6'1" forward who had some very positive moments in the semifinal game against West Plains. She is very mobile and she does a good job of catching the ball, keeping it high and scoring in one fluid motion. Her activity level around the basket is pretty solid as well. She is an and coming young post player with a lot of potential for growth. She's definitely one to track.
