Guard: Reagan Rapert Reagan Rapert 5'6" | PG Union | 2021 State MO 5’7 Union- A high scoring point guard who can light it up from virtually anywhere on the court. She can create her own shot, knock down 3-pointers and play with great pace. She is also an excellent passer who averaged seven assists a game to go along with her 20 points.
Guard: Alexa Rubel Alexa Rubel 6'0" | CG Cape Notre Dame | 2022 State MO 6’0 Cape Notre Dame- A talented 2022 big guard who has the height and versatile skill set to excel anywhere on the floor. She can facilitate and be a playmaker at the point or dominate defenders with her shooting and driving ability from the high post. She led Notre Dame to a Class 4 Final Four berth last season.
Wing: Isabelle Delarue 6’0 Francis Howell North- A 2021 big guard who has committed to Missouri State. She is an excellent 3-point shooter who can knock them down in bunches when she gets it going. She is a solid ball handler and passer who can also get things done inside with her height.
Wing: Lindsey Byers Lindsey Byers 5'9" | CG Helias | 2021 State MO 5’9 Helias- A potent 2021 offensive player with a smooth shooting stroke from long distance. She can also create her own offense off the dribble with her ability to change speeds and directions with clever ball handling moves. She will also be headed to Missouri State University next fall.
Forward: Khloe Moad Khloe Moad 6'2" | SF Ash Grove | 2022 State MO 6’2 Ash Grove- A versatile 2022 post player who recently gave a commitment to Missouri State University. She is a difficult matchup problem for defenders because she can stretch the floor from 3-point range and put it on the floor as well. She can also score in the post with a nice turn and face game.
Sixth Girl: Lacy Stokes Lacy Stokes 5'4" | CG Mt. Vernon | 2021 State MO 5’4 Mount Vernon- A high energy floor leader who has already committed to Missouri Southern. She is great at pushing the tempo and making plays with slick handles and passing ability. She can get into the lane and create shots and get buckets amongst the tall trees inside. She can also knock it down from 3-point range.
