Breakdown Fall League: Week 3 highlights

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this week's installment of our Breakdown Fall League coverage, I headed over to Jefferson High School in Bloomington to get a sneak peak of what's to come this winter. There were plenty of good games to see and no shortage of college prospects to watch. Here is a look at who stood out.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1005207' first='Myla' last='Evers'] – 2026 forward, Andover 2026 (Dordt)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Coming off of a strong AAU season with [program_tooltip program_id='712697' first='MN' last='Crossfire'], Evers looks ready to be a leader on the court for Andover this winter. At Sunday's Fall League festivities, the Huskies senior impacted the game in numerous ways. She provided a burst of scoring around the rim, brought the physicality on the defensive end, and was more confident with the ball than ever before. Myla also showed off her well-honed post-entry passes from the perimeter, feeding the ball to the exact right place on one play after another. Standing at 6'2, Evers has put in a lot of work on her game over the years, all of which paid off last week when she announced her commitment to NAIA, Dordt University.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='987457' first='Ellie' last='McCormick'] – 2027 guard, St. Anthony Village</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McCormick was crucial for St. Anthony Village at Breakdown's Fall League this past week. The lanky 5'8 guard brought the energy on the defensive end, using her length and bouncy lateral quickness to be a disruptive force on the perimeter. On the other end of the floor, Ellie showed off her speed with the ball and explosive first step, blowing by defenders to get to the rim. She hit several shots from outside as well, letting the ball fly with a smooth, speedy release. The Huskies will have some big shoes to fill in the backcourt this year, following the graduations of <strong>Leilani Abraham </strong>and <strong>Stella Timmins</strong>, but McCormick looks to be up to the task.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='717675' first='Harmoni' last='Mayberry'] – 2026 guard, Park Center</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mayberry's on-court leadership was palpable all afternoon at Sunday's Fall League session. She was a vocal communicator on the defensive end, played her usual fiery, competitive spirit, and exuded confidence at the point guard position. The Park Center senior was effective on both ends of the floor, using her explosive quickness and ability to read her opponents to pick off passes, leading to transition buckets for the Pirates. She was efficient from the three-point line as well, knocking down shots with her snappy, textbook release. Harmoni, who averaged just over 10 points per game in her junior season, is sure to play a pivotal role for Park Center once again this winter.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kate Sand – 2026 forward, Northfield</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The senior from Northfield put on a dominant performance on Sunday afternoon, leading the way for the up-and-coming member of Class AAA. Standing at about 5-foot-10, Sand is a true forward with a strong, well-built frame. With a wide array of footwork to choose from, great hands in the post, and soft touch at the rim, nobody could find a way to stop the Raiders' center from scoring. Kate also showcased a fadeaway jumper from just outside the paint, using her smooth release to bank the shot in at a high rate of efficiency. After averaging 10 points and 5.7 boards per game last season, Sand is gearing up for what could be a breakout season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1354631' first='Kendra' last='Lynch'] – 2031 guard, Northfield</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Those familiar with the younger teams on the AAU circuit have likely seen Lynch in the gym before. With her quickness, outrageously high basketball IQ, and well developed skillset, she's hard to miss. Now a 7th grader, we got our first chance to see Kendra play at the varsity level at this week's Breakdown Fall League session. The 5'0 point guard showed no fear out on the court. She defended hard, scored at every level, showed off her elite ball handling, and left her fingerprints all over the game. It's still early, of course, but Lynch is easily one of the most-skilled prospects in 2031 class.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
