Peyton Olufson Peyton Olufson 5'8" | CG Incarnate Word Academy | 2026 State MO (Phee Elite 16U Olufson): A 5’8″ guard from Incarnate Word Academy who had an excellent weekend as her team won all four games during the event. She’s a strong ball handler who did a good job of setting up her teammates for buckets. I was impressed with her ability to create separation from defenders off the dribble. She has a nice burst to get into the lane and was hitting pull-up jumpers off the bounce.

Awbree Berning Awbree Berning 5'10" | CG Republic | 2026 State MO ( Missouri Select 17U): A 5’11” guard from Republic who has good height and versatility in her game. The young lefty has a very nice 3-point shot in which she releases from her left ear. She is a good athlete who uses her height well to get into the lane and shoot over smaller defenders. She can also rebound the ball and start the fast break on her own with her handles.

Savannah Stricker Savannah Stricker 5'10" | SG Incarnate Word Academy | 2026 State MO 5’10” (Phee Elite 16U Olufson): The 5’10” wing from Incarnate Word Academy is an elite passer who is one of the best connectors that we watched during the weekend. She was feeding the post to her bigs inside, finding open cutters for layups and she could hit the open perimeter shot. She also has good anticipation on defense on her team’s full court press to create steals and turnovers.
*******
Keely Stevens ( Missouri Select 17U): A 5’10” wing from small-school Bakersfield who used her length well on the defensive end in the game I watched her. She was getting deflections and steals in the half court and she also had a nice blocked shot in transition.
******
Ava Vanecek Ava Vanecek 5'9" | SG Webster Groves | 2026 State MO (Phee Elite 16U Humiston): The 5’8″ guard from Webster Groves was one of the most impressive perimeter shooters that I watched during the weekend. In addition to her nice perimeter shooting stroke, she really moves well off the ball to get herself open. She can also attack the close out well to get a bucket off the dribble from the mid range area.
******
Kate Hollmann Kate Hollmann 5'10" | SF Westran | 2026 MO (Phee Elite 17U Columbia): I really liked this 5’10” wing from Westran when I first saw her in late December at a shootout event in Moberly and was very impressed. She has good strength along with her height and she can handle the ball and facilitate when needed. She hit a transition 3-pointer that was very impressive and she can also score in the lane.
******
Mya Robinson (Phee Elite 16U Humiston): A 5’7″ guard from Troy who did an outstanding job of playing without the ball with her constant movement. She was getting layups in the lane off her cutting and with a number of transition 3-pointers after running the floor on the break. Her high activity and motor also extended to the defensive side of the ball.
*******
Bella Westbrook Bella Westbrook 5'9" | SG Ft. Zumwalt East | 2026 State MO (Phee Elite 16U Humiston): A 5’9″ wing from Fort Zumwalt East who is a matchup problem with her physical strength and excellent perimeter skills. She can outmuscle smaller guards in the lane with her physicality. She is quite comfortable outside with her ability to handle the ball and hit open 3-pointers.
