2027
Kenna Oliver (Canton): A 5’9 guard who has an impressive array of offensive skills. Her pace is excellent as she will go coast to coast in a moment’s notice. She can hit the runner in the lane or stop on the dime to make the 15 footer. She can also find the open teammate with a nice dime.
*******
Myley Longcor (Quincy, IL): A 5’7 guard who displayed an impressive shooting stroke from distance. The best one was the 28-footer she hit in the final seconds to send a game into overtime. She also has a nice feel for the game.
*******
Jada Brown (Quincy, IL): A 6’0 forward who is a very skilled post player with excellent footwork and a nice shooting touch around the basket. She has soft hands to catch the ball. She can also operate from the high post.
*******
Quinn Aldridge Quinn Aldridge 5'10" | SG Marshfield | 2026 State MO (Clopton): A 5’6 point guard who is quick and plays with a little swag to her game. She can break down defenders with her handles and knock down jumpers. She also delivered some nifty passes with her excellent court vision.
*******
Lia Faught (Moberly): A 5’9 wing player who had an exciting moment when she hit a bucket at the buzzer to beat Chillicothe. What also impressed me was the trail 3-pointer she hit earlier in the game. She is a skilled youngster with good height and versatility.

2026
Lyla Beetsma (Chillicothe): A young forward with good length and mobility. She can be very disruptive on defense with her ability to get deflections and blocks. She rebounds the ball well and can score around the basket.
*******
Charlie Roush (South Shelby): A 5’10” who is very tough around the basket. She is very physical whether she’s posting up or boxing up for rebounding position. She can score with either hand inside.
*******
Heidi Lay (Brashear): A 5’9 forward who was very active at both ends of the court. She had some nice baseline drives for basket and she cut well off the ball for layups. She also did a good job on the offensive boards.
