The Eau Claire native applies her trade during the grassroots season in Minnesota, so she’s a little out of sight out of mind during the grassroots season most of the time. However, Gardow is a player who can score in bunches, play either guard spot, and make plays on the defensive end. She’s a talented multi-sport athlete who competes year-round and wants to win above all else. Gardow is a player who thrived next to a talented primary ball handler at their best with the ball, and she fit nicely alongside her, which shows how well she can fit into a role that best helps her team.

The 2029 guard from Eau Claire has a knack for putting the ball in the basket. Gardow was among the state leaders in scoring for her class and was a difference maker the second she touched the floor. She can play either guard spot and has the tools to make things happen with the ball. There is plenty of room for her to grow, but she can pop when you watch her play.

The Regis guard has played away from the ball this season while playing with a talented junior lead guard, but she’s found her footing well. Gardow has been one of the better scorers in her class in their first season of high school basketball. She has the confidence to attack the basket with the ball in her hands, and she doesn’t hesitate to shoot when she has space on the perimeter. I’m eager to see her continue building her game.
