I really enjoyed the energy and hustle that Grace Kenkel Grace Kenkel 5'11" | PF Storm Lake | 2026 IA brought to last night’s matchup. The steady senior was a consistent threat in the paint and was an absolute animal on the boards. I don’t remember many defensive rebounds in this game that didn’t have Kenkel’s handprints on them, she was that dominant. Positioning-wise, she boxed out well and hunted down rebounds after creating contact. On the offensive end Grace used this same physicality to post up — once she had a deep seal, she was tough to stop. Scoring a game-high 19 points, Grace converted in a number of ways including a drop step, a nifty reverse against contact, and a reverse seal for an easy left-handed lay. Her impact extended to the defensive end as well where she tied up a handful of Spencer’s drivers and altered finishes at the rim.
