Brookings | 2022
State
SD
— Towering at 6’5, Ainsley used her size to her advantage. She gathered rebound after rebound throughout the event. Pulled down a lot of offensive rebounds and turned them into put-backs for easy buckets. What was most impressive is how much she has improved at finishing inside.
Emilee Fox Emilee Fox 5'8" | CG Mt.Vernon/Plankinton | 2024 State SD —Emilee did what Emilee does. At the moment she’s the #1 ranked 2024 in South Dakota. She’s always a scoring threat from all three levels and is a matchup nightmare. She was simply smooth throughout the event, consistently scoring the ball and limiting mistakes. She dictates what happens and not the defense. She has Division 1 offers.
Hilary Behrens Hilary Behrens 6'1" | SG Brandon Valley | 2023 State SD — Hilary is at the top of her class and she showed why in Sioux Falls. She’s a legitimate wing and can score, shoot, and defend at 6’0. She glides and moves with ease. Has a nice all-around skill-set and good length. Excited to see her take it to the next level for Brandon Valley and see where things go.
Kenadi Rising Kenadi Rising 5'10" | SG Rapid City Stevens | 2021 State SD — Kenadi easily stood out on the court, making plays defensively and offensively all day — playing with toughness. A 2021 from Rapid City Stevens with good overall size and movement at 6’0. She can push the ball on her own and finish coast-to-coast, either finishing or creating contact. She has a solid jump-shot that is consistently on target. She can also sit in a stance and get after it on defense. She hustled all day and played stronger than the others.
Sydney Hybertson Sydney Hybertson 5'8" | SG Harrisburg | 2022 State SD —Sydney scored the ball really well. She knocked down open threes when given time and when the defense played the three she gave a pump-fake and drove to the hoop to finish. You can easily see that she keeps improving throughout her time competing during the summer. Sydney has shown she wants to continually work on her game and improve.
