In Henley’s first-round playoff game against Scappoose, Schroeder showed why she is the biggest double-double threat in the 4A classification. She scored 20 and pulled down 13 rebounds in the first half (!), finishing with 27 and 19 en route to a 40-point win. That paved the way for her to make another strong showing in Forest Grove, leading the Hornets to a third-place finish at state. She obviously has the size advantage over many, but she earns her rebounds with hustle, heart, and IQ more than anything else. Henley is just plain fun to watch — blistering pace, plenty of shooters and smart spacing, all surrounding a tenacious interior scorer in Schroeder. She has a plus vertical that allows her to catch the ball on the block and rise up for an unblockable turnaround shot in a quick, fluid motion. I noticed how level-headed she was despite her physical play style; she rarely gets sped up.

Henley freshman Makayla Schroeder Makayla Schroeder 6'0" | PF Henley | 2028 State OR is a force on the offensive glass and consistently gets the putback points. Schroeder is excellent at boxing out and getting the inside position to win the rebound on both ends. She is strong in the paint, helping on defense and protecting the rim. She cuts off the driving lane to the basket and contests and blocks close-range shot attempts with arms straight up. Schroeder gets a lot of looks at the rim — running the court, in the half-court sets, and on the boards.
