Breakout Seniors at Northwood Camp

Northwood Camp #2 featured a thrilling O.T. Tourney and many competitive matchups. New and familiar prospects put their best on display throughout the camp! Here are several senior prospects who had breakout performances at Northwood.    Mackenzie was in the zone at Northwood team camp. Her full-throttle finishes, pinpoint three-point shooting, and crafty handles dazzled spectators. She put a defender in a blender, using a shifty crossover move before blowing by to score a same-foot stretch finish with her left hand. Mackenzie was on fire from three-point distance. She buried two straightaway triples with a quick release off screens and knocked down two more. Mackenzie dished a laser beam pass to a teammate for an assist and converted another layup with her off hand. She disrupted the opponent with her active defense, creating steals and deflections. Mackenzie poured in a clutch free throw late to help seal the win against a great opponent. Her stock has continued to rise this summer, and she'll be an exciting prospect to follow with Plymouth this winter.     Autumn is a senior playmaker at Farmington who made a great first impression at Northwood Team Camp. Her quick and active hands created steals while she pressured the ball. Autumn has a compact frame and showed a second gear when she drove the basket. She handled the ball confidently with both hands and attacked downhill after a between-the-legs combo move. Autumn demonstrated excellent court vision and passing instincts. She raced up the sideline and fired a jump pass over defenders. Autumn swiped the ball, pushed the other way, and waited until the defense committed to her dribble before making the extra pass. She dished a perfect bounce pass for an assist and snatched a defensive rebound with strong hands. Autumn is a star on the diamond as well and will be a prospect to pay attention to this winter.     Rockford stopped by for a day of Northwood Team Camp, and Audrey was determined to make an impact. She drained a corner triple and converted many layups with both hands after hard drives to the basket. Audrey's active defense created steals and deflections. She anticipated where shots were going off the rim and chased down the rebounds. Audrey secured an offensive rebound, finished the put-back, and dished an assist on the money. She split the defense on a middle drive, spun, and used an excellent step-through to score a tough, contested layup. Audrey snagged a steal, drove with a sudden burst from the wing, and made a smooth high-pick up transfer to score a layup with her left hand. She will be an important rotational player this winter.     Harper is a versatile senior at St. Francis who made her presence felt at Northwood Team Camp. She has length and can play on the perimeter as a guard or inside at the forward spot. Harper turned the ball with her quick feet, battled inside to score an offensive rebound put-back with her left, and handled the ball well with both hands. Harper showed her outside range by drilling a corner three-pointer and threw a great lob entry pass to a teammate in the paint for an assist. She energized the team with her verbal communication on the court and will be a key player for them this winter.     Tegan was very productive for Oxford at the Northwood Team Camp. She caught a pass with soft hands, used a quick spin move, and finished the bunny off two feet. Tegan buried an elbow jumper and added a layup off the dribble. She jumps passing lanes to deflect passes for steals and pushes the ball with both hands to score in transition. Tegan is a lefty who contributes in every statistical category and has qualities that make her an intriguing prospect.     Kendyl was at her best for Powers Catholic at Northwood Team Camp. Kendyl contributed in every category on the court. She chased down rebounds, created steals with her active defense, and fired skip passes to open teammates. In one game, Kendyl drained a logo three, hit another from the wing, and added two more from the corner. She drove hard for a layup, cut backdoor for a bucket, then scored another bunny after a give-and-go. Kendyl kept on rolling during the OT Tourney. She used her trademark pocket dribbles to keep defenders off balance and drove by many times to earn trips to the free-throw line. She was a perfect 6 of 6 from the foul line in the finals and ripped the net with a deep moonshot triple during the semifinals. Kendyl's ability to evade double teams, burn the clock with a lead, and convert clutch free throws down the stretch gave the Charges an advantage in crunch time. She led Powers to the OT championship and earned the OT Tourney MVP award. Powers is the SVL South favorite and looks like a top 10 team in D2 heading into the winter.     Addison is a sniper from beyond the arc, but it was her toughness inside that made her stand out at Northwood Team Camp. She swiped the ball away on defense and pushed the tempo with both hands in transition. Addison went by with a burst down the baseline to score a layup and used great box-out technique to secure rebounds. She backed down a defender and spun to score a layup with her off hand. Addison ripped the ball hard, drove with determination to the rim, then finished a strong and-one floater through contact. Expect a big senior season from the versatile wing from Gull Lake.
