Kurncz, a member of the Midwest Stampede 2027 team, is quickly becoming a 2027 of note in the state of Michigan. He averaged double figures in scoring over the course of the weekend. Kurncz showed a natural feel for what constitutes a good look at the bucket. He showed that he can match elite players athletically and is an excellent decision maker with the ball.
Highlights
Trent Stone Trent Stone 5’10” | PG Heritage Academy | 2026 State KY was really solid with the Kentucky Storm Elite 2026 team. I can see why the state of Kentucky is excited about this young guard. He was so steady with the ball in his hands and really thrived in an offense that seemed to stress sharing the ball. Stone got it to it’s spots and was very high percentage with his scoring.
Gilvin sent a message with his play with the VIP Kings 2026 at the Queen City Clash. He had the look of an athletic scorer and averaged about 13 points per game over the weekend. Gilvin was very consistent with his output, putting up double figures in points in all 4 games. He was able to get buckets both creating in the half court as well as in the open floor.
Calhoun turned some heads with his play for the Midwest Stampede 2026 Blue team. First of all, he has next level size with the frame to match it. Calhoun proved that he could match up physically with about anyone and that allowed him to defend multiple positions. He worked to get downhill with the ball and could attack the rim through contact.
