In early March at Colonial Life Arena, Wando’s 5A Division 1 state contest against Blythewood may have resulted in the Bengals winning back-to-back state crowns, but Reynolds put forth a winning effort. She led her Warriors assembling with a 19-point performance at state – including 17 in the first half. With the 2025-26 season in the rear-view mirror for the Warriors, she is running with Mosch Ball on the grassroots circuit – including the Prep Girls Hoops Circuit’s Southeast Kickoff in North Carolina back in late March. Reynolds averaged 12.7 points, 5.2 rebounds and three steals in the 26 games she played. 

Reynolds is another noteworthy 2028 who is playing up in class on Mosch Ball ‘s 17U team and contributed to what was an auspicious start to her AAU team’s 2026 schedule. She also was a key catalyst in Wando’s run to the 2025-26 5A Division 1 Lower State championship as well as the 19 points she scored in the state game against Blythewood. Reynolds would play in 26 games of the Warriors’ 29 games this past season while averaging 12.7 points, 5.2 rebounds and three steals per contest. Reynolds also claimed All-Region honors for her sophomore campaign in a Wando uniform. 

Makenna Reynolds Makenna Reynolds 5'10" | SG/SF State SC kept showing off her range shooting the ball off the quick release around the arc.  She was running the floor well being ready for the pass in transition late in the game to close the gap from her opponents.  She had a nice touch around the rim attacking the basket with toughness but putting up the soft shot to score her points.  She knew how to anticipate what her opponents were going to do jumping in the passing lanes to grab steals. 

Championship Friday in Columbia would see Wando come up short in its bid to win its first state championship since 1980. Blythewood may have got the better of the Warriors, but Reynolds provided problems for the Bengals for much of the contest. She would tally 19 points to pace Wando’s offensive attack. Seventeen of Reynolds’ 19 were placed on the scoreboard in the first half of play. This season’s state game brought a close to a season where she averaged 12.7 points, 5.2 rebounds and three steals in 26 contests. With the regular season in the rear-view mirror, Reynolds is set to begin her travel schedule with Mosch Ball which will take part in this week’s Southeast Kickoff to launch this year’s Prep Girls Hoops Circuit. 

The Warriors of 5A Division 1 Wando had a season to remember. Reynolds was part of a stacked team that lifted the Warriors to the Lower State championship. She herself had a banner evening in Wando’s final regular season matchup. It occurred at Cane Bay and resulted in an emphatic 63-14 victory over the Cobras. It was in that contest where Reynolds would score her 500^th career point. Reynolds played in 26 games this past season for Wando and averaged 12.7 points, 5.2 rebounds and three steals a contest. She will switch her Warriors threads for those of Mosch Ball which is set to make an appearance at the Southeast Kickoff of the Prep Girls Hoops Circuit. 

Reynolds is close to putting a wrap on her sophomore season at 5A Division 1 Wando in emphatic fashion. She has played in 21 games this season for the Warriors and has averaged 11.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.3 steals. Reynolds is a product of the Mosch Ball AAU program and her play has lifted Wando to a ranking of fifth in the most recent 5A Division 1 coaches’ poll. She is one of four sophomores on this season’s Wando assembling. Reynolds was also a rankings riser per our most recent 2028 list. Reynolds will look to help the Warriors claim its first state championship since 1980.

As Reynolds has obtained more experience playing at the high school level, her numbers have only improved. The Warriors of 5A Division 1 Wando drew a tough draw on Friday in 4A Lower Richland but the 11 points she contributed to Wando’s cause ensured it was pass the test posed by the Diamond Hornets. Reynolds plays with a high basketball IQ and can play effective defense in the interior even though she is listed as a 5-foot-10 guard. Defensively, she will collect a large number of steals in addition to setting herself up to haul in a high number of rebounds. 

Wando was picked by many to be one of the teams to beat in the 5A Division 1 field. So far, Reynolds is playing like it. The Warriors have begun the season at 1-1. The one win was a 68-22 blowout of SCISA 4A Palmetto Christian where Reynolds tallied 15 points. Reynolds also scored 16 points in a narrow 36-32 defeat to Northwood Academy – whom many believe could be the team to beat this season in SCISA 4A. Reynolds had a solid grassroots season over the spring and summer with Mosch Ball and it is translating into more success at Wando. 

Reynolds really likes to play her game faceup to the basket. She feels very comfortable hitting the short corner or elbow jumper. Makenna really made some good passes today to teammates from the high post and wing position. Look for her to get some good minutes this season down in Mount Pleasant at Wando HS.
