New Names from the Nixa Invitational Tournament

Prep Girls Hoops Missouri took a look at the eight teams who participated in the recent Girls Nixa Invitational Tournament. The tournament is always a good event to watch because it features schools from different parts of the state. Here is a look at some New Names of standouts who caught our attention at the Nixa Tournament.    The 2026 guard was instrumental in the Eagles victory over Fair Grove in the championship game with her play off the bench. She scored 13 points and played with a lot of energy. She drove the ball well and hit the open 3-pointer. She was also an aggressive ball hawk on the defensive end. She also got into the mix to grab some rebounds. She made things happen at both ends of the floor.     A 5'9 wing player who is a good athlete and an excellent all purpose performer. She ran the court well and scored in transition. She passed the ball well out of the post and she is a willing and effective screener. She showed her athleticism on the defensive end by blocking multiple shots.     A 5'11" 2025 forward who was very impressive with her versatile skill set to go along with her physical strength. She's is strong and she used her strength to get good position inside to either score or rebound. She is also a very capable ball handler who can facilitate offense with her passing. She dropped some impressive dimes while on the move.     The 5'6" 2025 guard put on quite an impressive shooting exhibition in the Spartans victory over Cape Notre Dame in the consolation bracket. She scored 15 points as she made five of seven from the 3-point line. She got it started early and her teammates did a good job of getting her the ball when she had the hot hand. She also is a solid ball handler and she made some nice passes into the low post.     A 6'1" 2025 forward who uses her height to impact play at both ends of the court in the paint. When she grabs the offensive rebound, she keeps the ball high and finishes off the glass. She seals well to get good position in the low post. She made one nice move where she wheeled in the lane from the high post to score. She also hit an open 3-pointer from the corner. She also did a good job blocking shots on the defensive end.     A 2025 wing player who was equally effective working in the post or on the perimeter. She was always moving and cutting and she did a good job getting position. She catches the ball well and finished inside. She also hit an open 3-pointer off the catch.     A 2026 wing player who was one of the most impressive perimeter shooters that I watched at the tournament. In the game I watched against Battle in the consolation round, she came off the bench and scored 14 points and made four 3-pointers. Her perimeter stroke was on point as she was coming off screen and was always shot ready.
