Continuing in the series, we are diving into some players to watch from Class B during the summer. Each of these ladies have shown flashes of being special and will look to build on their solid sophomore seasons heading into their AAU program.   Marin Ragorshek | Crete | C | 6’1" Ragorshek controls the painted area with her size, length and lateral movement. She averaged 12 points, 7 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game for her sophomore campaign. Being able to establish position is a strength which allows her to get easy buckets and putbacks. On the defensive side, Crete loves to play a zone with Ragorshek on an island down low to dare offenses to drive into her shot blocking arms. Ragorshek could establish herself as a top Class B big during this next year. <a href="https://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/marin-rasgorshek/rpLK266_x0SnWihHOZokPw/default.htm">https://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/marin-rasgorshek/rpLK266_x0SnWihHOZokPw/default.htm</a>   [player_tooltip player_id="300325" first="Emily" last="Wiebelhaus"] | Platteview | PG/SG/SF | 5’7" Wiebelhaus has a terrific offensive package. She can shoot with range and has the ability to get to the rim in a hurry. She is fantastic at creating her shot and can shoot with range. As she continues to work on her shot mechanics and repetition of motion, Wiebelhaus could rack up the points for the Lady Trojans next year. https://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/emily-wiebelhaus/S6J1vSqjEeuAzqREozo6lw/girls-basketball/stats.htm   Denae Nachtigal | Aurora | Guard | 5’8" The Huskies relied on the defensive pressure Nachtigal could create on ball handlers. She was great at creating turnovers to create fast break opportunities. Nachtigal is aggressive with the ball in her hands and attacks the rim, shooting 42% from the field. Nachtigal can shoot with range but will look to be more consistent from deep. Once that develops, she will be a dangerous offensive threat for the Huskies. <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14875840/denae-nachtigal">https://www.hudl.com/profile/14875840/denae-nachtigal</a>   [player_tooltip player_id="313730" first="Brooklyn" last="Heineman"] | South Sioux City | Guard | 5’6" Heineman is an all around baller, averaging 9.4 points, 3.3 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 3.5 steals per game her sophomore year. Her ability to play passing lanes creates fast break opportunities with high percentage shots. She can stretch the floor and shoot with range but will look to improve in shot efficiency this summer. Heineman has a chance to stuff the stat sheet with a strong summer. <a href="https://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/brooklyn-heineman/nHWA3ugjskOVVanQXwhH7A/default.htm">https://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/brooklyn-heineman/nHWA3ugjskOVVanQXwhH7A/default.htm</a>
