The other Campbell twin had a similar outing as her sister.

Makenlie Campbell Makenlie Campbell CG Har-Ber | 2027 State AR finished the night with 9 points, 4 rebounds, and 1 assist. She drained one 3-pointer and was perfect at the free throw line. Her effort on the defensive end was impactful, but like Madisen, she was making plays on the boards.

On the offensive end, Campbell grabbed 3 rebounds, creating opportunities for Har-Ber to have second-chance looks. With her athleticism and constant activity, this is no real surprise.

Makenlie Campbell Makenlie Campbell CG Har-Ber | 2027 State AR continues to show why she is one of the best two-way stars in the state. Though her team came up short, I would imagine that with this same core, they will be back next season.

Since I am based out of the Little Rock Metropolitan area, it is difficult for me to watch teams out of Northwest Arkansas in person. However, Springdale Har-Ber took a trip to Conway to face Vilonia in a tournament for their first game of the season. There, I got to watch Makenlie Campbell Makenlie Campbell CG Har-Ber | 2027 State AR and her twin sister in action.

Campbell is an excellent scorer who got herself going in the first half of that game against the Lady Eagles. She had 8 points heading into halftime. In that game and all of her other great performances throughout her sophomore year, she showed grit and determination when attacking the basket, finishing in any way she could.

Campbell is just as dangerous from the outside as she is from the lane. She is an excellent 3-point shooter who only needs to see one shot go in for her to have a big night. On the other end of the floor, Campbell is a well-known pest, picking up multiple steals a night after applying suffocating defensive pressure.

Makenlie Campbell Makenlie Campbell CG Har-Ber | 2027 State AR recently picked up an offer from South Alabama, and I imagine she will pick up more D1 offers soon.

Springdale Har-Ber has the state’s best twin duo, and that is saying something because there are some great sister duos in Arkansas.

Makenlie Campbell Makenlie Campbell CG Har-Ber | 2027 State AR , the first of the sisters, has been an amazing player on both ends of the floor. If the defense leaves her open along the perimeter, she will hit the outside shot, thanks to a smooth shooting stroke and a quick release. If the defense gives her a lane to the basket, she will drive down the lane and finish.

On the defensive end, Campbell often guards one of the best opposing perimeter players. Her sister is also a formidable player, so seeing them on the defensive end is frightening, especially knowing that they can easily swipe the ball away and score in transition.

Campbell is one of the best two-way players in Arkansas, and even as a freshman she had established that reputation. Now as a sophomore, it is clear that she is just getting started.

Offensively, Campbell does a bit of everything: she can shoot from outside, she can score inside, she can make plays for others, and she either take over a game or step back and let her teammates do the bulk of the work. Last week, Har-Ber participated in the NWA Classic, and Campbell was her team’s leading scorer in their three wins. She had two 20-point performances in that tournament to add to the plethora of great games she has already had this year.

On defense, Campbell is tasked with shutting down some of the best offensive players on the other team. In Har-Ber’s season opener, I got to witness Campbell’s defensive prowess in person. She was tasked with guarding Vilonia High School’s best player, who is also in the top 5 in the 2025 class. That Lady Eagle had very little scoring impact in the first half, and it allowed Har-Ber to jump out to a huge lead. Campbell’s defense was one of the deciding factors of that game, and it has been a huge factor in all of their games this season.
