2026s Make a Splash at Northwood Camp

Northwood University hosted its first high school team camp from June 27th to 29th. There was a fantastic variety of teams attending from all across Michigan, and the OT Tournament remains a staple of the camp. The stars shone, and several unknowns proved their potential to play college basketball. Here are several 2026 prospects who had a great camp for their teams.    [player_tooltip player_id='893890' first='Elly' last=''] helped Pewamo-Westphalia compete at a high level during the Northwood Team Camp. She knows how to play without the ball. [player_tooltip player_id='893890' first='Elly' last=''] caught a defender napping, then cut backdoor to score a strong and-one layup off two feet. She attacked downhill with a burst to score layups in traffic and fired smart skip passes to open teammates for assists. [player_tooltip player_id='893890' first='Elly' last=''] got by defenders off the dribble and forced help defenders to send her to the free throw line. She moved her feet quickly to keep the ball contained on defense and created steals that turned into transition points.     Layne is a forward who left a strong impression at Northwood Team Camp with Walled Lake Northern. She combined length with physicality to have a very impactful presence in the paint on both ends. Layne cut backdoor, caught the pass with good hands, and finished the layup off two feet. She worked hard to secure offensive rebounds and scored put-backs. Layne knocked down a mid-range corner jumper, converted many layups, and rejected multiple shots at the rim with authority.     Natalie immediately grabs your attention with her length and athleticism--she was a versatile player who I enjoyed seeing for the first time at Northwood Team Camp. Natalie used low rip moves to get by defenders and cause fouls. She drove hard downhill, absorbed contact, and finished the layup. Natalie used her length on defense to block shots, create steals, and deflect passes. She aggressively ripped the ball away and pushed the ball with pace up the court in transition. She showed her range by knocking down a pair of wing threes with a high arc (lefty) and threw an entry pass on the money for an assist.     Lydia is a dynamic guard who will be a prospect to watch this winter for Harrison. She drove hard downhill to score layups and kicked the ball out to the perimeter for assists when the defense converged. Lydia crashed the boards to secure offensive rebounds and scored putbacks. She scored in traffic using a power dribble and converted many shots inside off two feet. Lydia has a smooth stroke from three-point range and works hard on the defensive end. She was a difference maker at Northwood Team Camp and had an outstanding June for the Hornets.     Mariah was a playmaker on both sides of the ball for Fowlerville at Northwood Team Camp. Her confidence and aggressiveness in their first matchup were evident. She drained a triple up top early and buried a mid-range jumper. Mariah finished a smooth reverse layup off the dribble and drove through a defender with a powerful pound dribble to score a layup off two feet. She kept forcing fouls by beating defenders off the dribble and cutting backdoor. Mariah converted many shots from the charity stripe, chased down rebounds, dished out assists, and created steals with her aggressive defense. She has had a very productive career for the Gladiators and looks ready for a strong senior season.     Reagan never stops competing. Her determination and consistency in each game were one of the qualities I liked most about her as a prospect. Regan drove down the lane, spun, and scored a spectacular step-through finish off the glass. She battled to secure many offensive rebounds, including two straight on the same possession. Regan scored contested layups off two feet and tied up the ball on defense. After securing a defensive board, she pushed the ball coast to coast, braced for impact, and scored through contact at the rim off two feet. Regan earned an All-Conference First Team selection as a junior, and she looks ready for an encore performance for Bear Lake as a senior.     McKenna came out ready to play for the Gladiators at Northwood Team Camp. Her speed and athleticism jumped out immediately. McKenna turned on the jets in transition and threw strong skip passes for assists to sprinting teammates. She attacked a defender with her dribble, retreated to the perimeter, blew by with a crossover dribble, and made a great split-second transfer to her left hand to score off the glass. McKenna created space with a spin dribble and changed hands in the air to get her shot off. She pushed the ball with both hands in transition, showing explosive quickness, and initiated contact with a defender to earn a triple to the line. McKenna used a shot-fake and split defenders on a left-handed drive to cause another foul. Her long strides, high pick-ups, and euro steps made it tough for defenders to keep her contained.     Jazamine is an athletic forward prospect who competes with a high motor--she was very productive for Lake Orion at the Northwood Team Camp. Jazamine worked hard to keep the ball contained on defense and gave the team a strong rebounding presence. She hit the deck to scrap for 50/50 balls and sealed defenders inside to catch entry passes. Jazamine earned trips to the free throw line by driving hard to the basket and converted shots around the rim for the Dragons.    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">UPCOMING EVENTS</h2>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/07/Freshman-Showcase.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1267337" /></figure>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/07/The-Expo.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1267338" /></figure>   <a href="https://events.prepgirlshoops.com/e/1580/register/michigan-freshman-showcase">Register for the Freshman Showcase</a>   <a href="https://events.prepgirlshoops.com/e/1653/register/the-expo-michigan">Register for the Expo</a>
