Player Spotlight

Every week, we highlight the players who aren't just filling box scores but shaping narratives, shifting momentum, and forcing their names into conversations that matter. This group represents champions, stat leaders, culture changers, and rising faces of Alabama basketball — players whose games speak loud enough that we simply amplify the echoes.    ⭐ [player_tooltip player_id='588386' first='Caia' last='Campbell'] | JR | Point Guard | Charles Henderson High   [player_tooltip player_id='588386' first='Caia' last='Campbell'] is a poised, two-way lead guard with a mature, three-level scoring package. The daughter of a Division I coach, her game reflects balance, IQ, pacing, and decision-making beyond her years.   Before relocating to Troy, Campbell led PHH Prep to a state championship and was named CAA State Player of the Year, proving she knows how to win and elevate programs.   A move-in from Arizona, Campbell didn't need a grace period—she stepped into Charles Henderson and immediately became the engine of the system. At the time of this feature, she ranks 3rd nationally in both assists (7APG) and (10SPG) steals per game, and 8th in the nation in scoring (30PPG), making her one of the most complete statistical producers in America.     ⭐ [player_tooltip player_id='981305' first='Kamiya' last='Webb'] | JR | Forward | Midfield High   [player_tooltip player_id='981305' first='Kamiya' last='Webb'] is a two-way forward who embraces the dirty work and the scoring load. She plays with relentless energy—impacting the game defensively, on the glass, and as a finisher. Webb currently sits 3rd nationally in rebounds per game (17.3 RPG) while averaging 18.5 PPG and 3.8 BPG. Her athleticism and motor separate her—she sets a tone that few opponents are willing to match for four quarters.     ⭐ [player_tooltip player_id='1223293' first='Hadlee' last='Sanderson'] | JR | Forward | Brilliant High   [player_tooltip player_id='1223293' first='Hadlee' last='Sanderson'] is a gifted multi-sport athlete whose basketball skill shines brightest under the lights. A true three-level scorer, Sanderson ranks 17th in the nation in scoring at 27 PPG, showing efficiency and volume. She's far from just a scorer—Sanderson contributes 8 RPG, 3 SPG, and 3 APG, affecting possessions across all phases of the game. Her versatility and toughness make her one of Alabama's most complete juniors.     ⭐ [player_tooltip player_id='1324464' first='Kenna'd' last='Buie'] | 8th Grade | Combo Guard | Guntersville High   [player_tooltip player_id='1324464' first='Kenna'd' last='Buie'] has introduced herself loudly—and early. The eighth-grade combo guard joined a program that won four games last season; they now open 11-0 with Buie as a catalyst. She stamped her arrival with 25 points against a backcourt featuring last year's 7A Player of the Year. Buie averages 17 PPG on 55% shooting, living downhill while understanding pace, reads, and distribution (5.5 APG). A physical guard who tracks rebounds at 6 RPG, Buie plays with maturity rarely seen at her age.     ⭐ Kuraji Crosby | FR | Forward | Stanhope Elmore   Kuraji Crosby is an energetic, two-way defender with upside you see instantly. She shows a soft scoring touch around the basket while also overpowering defenders on physical finishes averaging 12.5 PPG. Defensively, Crosby disrupts everything—blocking or altering shots at 2.8 BPG. She rebounds on both ends, pulling 8.4 RPG, and is already carving out a role as a system changer in Stanhope's frontcourt.     ⭐ Kinlee Montgomery | JR | Guard | Glencoe   Kinlee Montgomery is one of the purest shooters in Alabama high school basketball. Averaging 23 PPG and 4 SPG, she warps defenses with her range. Montgomery has hit 349 threes in her freshman and sophomore seasons — an average of six makes per game from distance. She is the type of scorer who changes scouting reports before she even steps off the bus.     ⭐ Braelyn Castille | 8th Grade | Center | Thompson High   The Castille name carries generational weight in Alabama athletics — and Braelyn is next up. Her pedigree runs deep as the daughter of former Dee Merriweather, a two-time State Player of the Year on the hardwood, and you can already see flashes of that dominance emerging in her game.   Blessed with size, touch, length, and instincts, Braelyn has opened her season against some of the state's best post talents and answered with consistent double-double production — proving her last name isn't just history, it's a preview.   Her presence is most felt defensively — most young bigs only excel rotating as helpers, but Castille is already blocking and altering shots on-ball against equal size. She projects as a high-level interior anchor with long-term upside.    These players don't just put up numbers — they shift outcomes, raise ceilings, and force game plans to change. The beauty of Alabama girls basketball is that greatness comes from every corner of the state — big schools, small towns, freshmen to eighth graders, transfers to state champions.
