Makenna Roeder Makenna Roeder 5'6" | CG/SG Norwalk | 2028 State IA of Norwalk High School happens to be a CG, that also possesses some talent. Offensively, she is quick in her actions, she plays with intent whenever the ball touches her hands, and she is selfless enough to always hit the open teammate with the extra pass. As a defender, Roeder is good enough to guard the best opposing guards on the other team whenever she takes the floor but sometimes she has to switch onto someone bigger to try and make a stop. All in all, Norwalk is in good hands for years to come. They have a deep roster of personal and that’s only going to continue to grow with time with players like Roeder.

If I could give a “Buiser of the Day” award for The Expo, it would be given to Makenna Roeder Makenna Roeder 5'6" | CG/SG Norwalk | 2028 State IA . After busting open her eyebrow and rushing to the trainer, Roeder hopped back into play unbothered and continued her day. She’s just a gritty kid who competes in everything she does. Defensively I loved seeing her harass ball handlers, and she was an excellent communicator throughout the event as well. Offensively, Roeder has an excellent jab step, a strong finishing package at the rim, and is knockdown from deep. Roeder’s fire is sure fun to watch and I’m anticipating a stat-stuffing season for her at Norwalk.

“ Makenna Roeder Makenna Roeder 5'6" | CG/SG Norwalk | 2028 State IA is a bruiser. Early on in the day Roeder ran into another player, cutting her head open pretty badly. Instead of leaving the event to go to the ER, she got it wrapped up by medical and continued to compete for the rest of the day. Roeder showed off that she can do a little bit of everything as a guard. She can be the PG you want, she can move off the ball and be your main scoring threat, or she can play in-between those two positions and thrive. I could see Roeder being a piece for Norwalk this Winter. If they need a scrappy guard, who leaves it all on the floor – look no further.”
