Prep Girls Hoops Missouri takes a look at some of the top forwards and posts that we watched at the Frisco League Tournament.   Gretchen Candee (Crocker): A 5'9" 2026 forward who was really operating well from the high post. She made some nice passes and she could also hit the free throw line jumper. She flashed into the post and hit a nice turnaround jumper off the catch. She is a good athlete who was running the court to get early position for a post touch. She also had some quick reactions on defense, one in which she blocked an opponent's 3-pointer.   [player_tooltip player_id='1133663' first='Kamryn' last='Kardosz'] (Richland): A 6'0" 2026 forward who is the most versatile frontcourt player that I watched in the conference. She has good length and timing to block shots effectively. She can track the ball very well before she gets the swat. On offense, she can handle the ball and really stretch the defense with her 3-point shooting off the catch.   Ayla Russell (Iberia): A 6'0" 2026 forward who has blue collar style of play that is very effective inside. She scores tough buckets inside as she doesn't minding taking the contact or giving out the contact. She had a nice rim run for a bucket in transition. She also holds things down in the middle of her team's zone defense.   Paige Russell (Iberia): A 5'10" 2027 forward who plays a very solid game in the low post. She finishes well inside and she also works hard to get offensive rebounds and putbacks. She is also a good passer out of the high post. She also did a good job of running the court to establish early post position.   Morgan Stone (Licking): A 2027 post player who provides good size and strength inside at about 6'0" tall. She has soft hands to catch the ball and she keeps it up high to finish. She rebounds the ball well and she plays good positional defense.   Tessa Danielson (Crocker): A 5'8" 2026 forward who plays well on the wing and along the baseline with equal effectiveness. She moves well without the ball and she reads defenses well to get herself open. She was hitting the open 3-pointer from the corners. She also moves the ball well and keeps the offense flowing.   Addison Floyd (Licking): A 2026 forward who impressed me with her toughness and strong moves in the low post. She was sealing defenders well and wheeling inside for buckets. She can also step out and make the jumper from the elbow. She was also making her free throws.
