Mya Kochuten Mya Kochuten 5'6" | PG Spearfish | 2025 State SD – Spearfish – 5’6″ – G
It’s not every group of new additions that one lands in the Top 5 of the class, but that’s exactly what we have in Mya! After first discovering her balling out at the Top 250 Expo, and watching her tear it up all season in all departments, she cracks out list at number 5 overall in the class. She has deep range and one of the quickest releases to get her shot off you can find. Lighting it up from 3, attacking the basket with great finishing ability, rebounding on both ends, and playing fundamentally sound defense, Mya is the total package. Big things to come in the next two seasons for this prospect!
Jozie Dana Jozie Dana 5'7" | SG Spearfish | 2025 State SD – Spearfish – 5’7″ – G
Mya’s teammate and talented guard, Jozie Dana Jozie Dana 5'7" | SG Spearfish | 2025 State SD is another talented guard prospect that cracks our Class of 2025. She has that bounce in her step that a lot of great basketball players seem to have. She is longer than her height would indicate and is a really hard worker on the defensive end, coming up with multiple blocks and steals per game. Her offensive game is improving and I see a stock-riser in the making before the start of next season here with Jozie.
Kierra Lubovich Kierra Lubovich 5'9" | PF Sioux Falls Lincoln | 2025 State SD – Sioux Falls – 5’9″ – F
Lubovich looks like a future double-double machine. She rebounds hard, uses her body to shield off defenders to finish in the paint, and has solid shot-blocking instincts. Look for her to keep climbing the rankings and be one of the better options around the basket in this class as she gains experience.
Bailey Spicer Bailey Spicer 5'3" | PG Canistota | 2025 State SD – Canistota – 5’3″ – G
Spicer is an aggressive guard who plays hard on defense in pressuring the ball and being in the right place at the right time. She will attack the basket on offense and appears to be improving with more minutes.
Bridget Eliason Bridget Eliason 5'6" | CG Gregory | 2025 State SD – Gregory – 5’6″ – G
Bridget is a well-rounded guard who adds another scoring option for the Gorillas. She is a solid perimeter defender and a willing rebounder. Another new name on the list and one I am excited to learn more about!
Trinity Bietz Trinity Bietz 5'9" | PF Scotland | 2025 State SD – Scotland – 5’9″ – F/C
Bietz is a physical presence in the paint. She boxes out and rebounds with consistency and limits opponents to one shot per possession. When she catches inside she has solid footwork and a scoring mentality. On defense she changes the game with her physical presence and ability to limit the other teams’ chances at the rim.
Ella Pollreisz Ella Pollreisz 5'6" | CG Ethan | 2025 State SD – Ethan – 5’6″ – G
Ella is a talented guard for the Rustlers. She’s great in a dribble drive setting and comes off the weave vertically and aggressive. This skill gets her to the rim where she finishes well and when she does get stopped around the paint she has great vision and ball security to kick out and set up the 3-point shot for her teammates.

Charley is a solid addition to the prospects list. She will find herself in the Top 50 of this group for sure, and could climb even higher.

Another Class B State Champion Cougar cracks the Class of 2025. Kendra is an aggressive guard with a diverse skill-set on offense and can defend multiple positions of defense.She didn’t see a ton of time on the court this season but looks as though she will crack their starting lineup next one.

Aubree Schwartz Aubree Schwartz 5'5" | SG Viborg-Hurley | 2025 State SD – Viborg-Hurley – 5’5″ – G
Schwartz played a pivotal role in helping Viborg-Hurley to a Class B state title. Her and Gilbert transferred in this season and she found herself as the first off the bench and played big minutes. She can shoot the three and moves the ball well on the perimeter. Look for Aubree to crack their starting 5 next season and there is potential for a stock-riser here as we approach the 2023-23 season next fall.
