2023
Kori Arnold, 5’4″, SG/PG, Hillsboro – Beat Lexi Jacobson Lexi Jacobson 5'7" | CG Southeast of Saline | 2024 State KS off the bounce. Does not handle well in half court traffic. Back-up PG. Perimeter shooting threat.
BrieAnn Brawner BrieAnn Brawner 5'5" | CG Haven | 2023 State KS , 5’6″, SG, Haven – Top three point threat but will oddly pass up gift opportunities like out of in-bounds plays. Good air under the ball. Shoots in flow, can go end-to-end with speed off a steal.
Avery Caselman Avery Caselman 5'7" | SG Southeasr of Saline | 2023 State KS , 5’7″, SG, Southeast of Saline – Good perimeter shooter. Made 2. Fast, athletic, passes well, hustles. Defended Werth well in second half. Shut down Werth’s interior drives.
Haley Kangas, 5’2″, PG, Chaparrel – Best, and only real, PG on the floor for either team. Solid quickness. Deceivingly good perimeter shooter especially off the catch. Hit three triples. Not real speedy. Creates well for others better than herself. Shots off drives swatted a lot. Will pull-up off drives for short jumper though.
Kaylee Kauffman Kaylee Kauffman 5'5" | SG Central Christian | 2023 State KS , 5’4″, PG, Central Christian – Shoot 3 w/range off catch & dribble. Finish w/athleticism. Good FT shooter. Good handles. Quick hands.
Zaylee Werth Zaylee Werth 6'0" | CG Hillsboro | 2024 State KS , 6’0″, PG, Hillsboro – Big, long, strong, physical, athletic. Consistently looks to attack right from TOK then whirl and finish with left. Looped and attacked right from left and scored with baby hook over two defenders.
2024
Madelyn Harris Madelyn Harris 5'5" | PG Southeast of Saline | 2024 State KS , 5’5″, SG/PG, Southeast of Saline – Terrific turnaround jumper over Werth. Flashes well to catch. Fast w/ball in transition. Good hesitation move. Great vision. Uses glass well.
Brielle Ptacek, SG, Southeast of Saline – Lot of air under three ball. Made 2. Fast, quick. Makes quick, soft entry pass from wing to where teammates can catch it.
2025
Bella Barnett, 5’7″, PG/SG, Central Christian – Fast, athletic, raw. High potential. Good length. Finishing ability.
Zoei Redgate, 5’5″, PG, Attica – Quick release shot. Athletic. Finish w/athleticism. Quick on D but Matador defender early. Showed D energy late. Moves into space, scores well on the move. Solid speed.
Chloe Traffas, 5’3″, SG, Attica – Beat 20 off the bounce from right corner to get to the basket. Offensive potential. Lacks confidence as a shooter.
2026
Emily Harding, 5’5″, PG, Chaparrel – Decent catch and release shooter. Uses the glass. Good composure when picks up the ball. Thin frame.
Maren Reed, SG, Hillsboro – Used step-through move & LH to score under hoop. Good FT shooter.
