Senior Leaders Who Took Charge at The Kreul

Now in its 36th year, The Kreul continues to establish itself as a national-stage event on the girls side, bringing teams from across the country to Coral Springs, Florida. With the level of competition continuing to rise, the weekend brought a ton of talent into one gym for the Class of 2026 where experienced seniors were asked to lead, produce, and deliver in meaningful moments. These players didn't just rely on reputation, they answered the challenge against high-level competition by showing skill, physicality, and a clear understanding of how to impact winning. The following 2026 standouts made their presence felt at The Kreul:    Kennedy set the tone early with a big block in the opening game which immediately made her presence felt in South Florida. She brings a long frame and showed offensive touch with a nice spin move in the paint, consistently getting to her left hand and using her length to finish. She also delivered big, clutch buckets late in games, and defensively used her active hands and length at the top of the press to create deflections and steals that swung momentum.     Makayla consistently found herself in the right place at the right time and made timely plays on both ends of the floor. She impressed with her ability to score around the rim as a guard, including finishing over her defender in the post. Mak showed a strong left hand both off the dribble and on finishes inside. She made an impact defensively with big blocks, attacked the baseline for a runner, and was effective going downhill as a finisher at the rim. She also knocked down the outside shot and played with high energy throughout.     Teriyah showed a deep offensive bag and was one of the best players in the gym throughout the event. She shot the three efficiently by knocking them down at key moments, and she added midrange runners to keep defenders off balance. A quick, shifty guard, she pushed the ball in transition, made smart decisions with it, and was effective attacking off curl cuts and actions toward the rim. TT also shared the ball well when delivering good passes and kept the offense flowing.     Isyss brings good size and length to a team loaded with talented guards which gives her a valuable two-way presence. She used that length to block shots and crash the boards and impacted plays that go beyond the box score. Offensively, she showed confidence knocking down the baseline midrange jumper, mixed in a solid shot fake and drive, and capped it off with a reverse layup finish. Her touch, feel around the rim, and ability to run the floor make her a key piece for the Tigers.     DJ continues to impress every time she steps on the floor with her elite motor as a forward.
