2026 Texas Expo: Breaking Down Team 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Texas is a huge state filled with talented players, which is why I have always attended a variety of tournaments, Jamborees, and even tryouts. Yet, with that being said, players will be missed if they are not in front of me, which is why the <strong>PGH Showcases</strong> give players the chance to be seen. I caught quite a few new faces at all three of the events: <strong>PGH Freshman, Sophomore ID,</strong> as well as <strong>The Expo,</strong> so one more time, thanks for coming, and here's a <strong><em><a href="https://girlzprepreport.com/upcomingevents/">link to where I'll be, </a></em></strong>so here ya go with Team 1</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1901189"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6acf541caf050"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Reukauf left a lasting first impression a couple of seasons ago at the<strong> Texas Invitational</strong> in Houston <strong><em><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2024/11/new-faces-from-opening-day-at-texas-invitational-mti2024/">see evaluation here</a></em></strong>.
