Bailey Burns Bailey Burns 5'8" | SG Lee's Summit West | 2023 MO (Lee’s Summit West): The 5’9″ 2023 shooting guard is an impressive offensive player in all facets.

Jamya McPherson Jamya McPherson 5'7" | PG St. Thomas Aquinas | 2024 State KS (St. Thomas Aquinas): An athletic 5’8″ combo guard who really impacts the game at both ends of the floor. She looks to push the tempo and can attack the basket very well. She was also able to knock down some open 3-pointers. She also dropped some nice dimes to her talented teammates in the post. She is also a strong defender who can sit down and give a great effort.
Mari Miller Mari Miller 5'10" | SG Rock Bridge | 2025 State MO (Rock Bridge): The 2025 wing player is one of the most impressive young players in the state. She’s an excellent 3-point shooter, but she can also put it on the floor and pass the ball well. She’s a very poised performer with a strong overall floor game.
Taliyah Scott Taliyah Scott 5'4" | CG Truman | 2023 State MO (Truman): A 2023 point guard who displayed her speed and quickness at both ends of the floor. She is capable of applying good on-ball pressure on the defensive end. She’s a sound ball handler who can deliver nice passes and hit the open 3-pointer.
Catherine Goodwin Catherine Goodwin 5'4" | PG St. Thomas Aquinas | 2023 State KS (St. Thomas Aquinas): A 2023 point guard who is aggressive and plays a very fearless game. She didn’t mind driving into the lane in the land of the trees. She’s quick and she plays with good pace.
