Continue ReadingWith the graduation of a senior class probably the class that benefits most from that event is the incoming junior. Since the release of the March update the number of ranked players included has grown by nearly 50%. Because of the large number of additions advancing in the ranks is frequently very difficult and can be limited to a moving a few spots. The June update was characterized by just that, few advancers and not much movement. This fall update is certainly not the norm This fall update is certainly not the norm So many players climbed more than 10 places that I hand to break the report up into two parts, large and small school. The large school also needsd to be split into two due to the number of players included. In this part 2 of the 4A-6A players the remaining 8 of the 15 4A-6A players are revealed. They are listed in order by the number of spots advanced. Be sure to Review the many the 4A-6A part 1 and 1A-3A prospects who also made substantial moves.
Ajala Glover Ajala Glover 5'10" | SF Lawrence | 2025 KS , 5’10”, SF/PF, Lawrence – ‘Aja’ Glover is a long athletic SF/PF who spelled daphne Bracker-Sturm at the center spot. Her length, speed, and physicality will be of huge importance for the Chesty Lions as they battle to return to the 6A state tournament and get past the first round. She climbed 15 spots to #73.
Anna Duncan Anna Duncan 5'11" | SF Valley Center | 2025 State KS , 5’11”, SF, Valley Center – Duncan has had a terrific summer. She moved 14 spots to #76 because of her work. Blessed with a serious wing span she uses that length effectively rebounding and defending, especially on the wing. As she gets more physical defending on the interior I expect her shot blocking number will move closer to 3 per game while grabbing more than 10 boards per game. Her transition ability makes her a great threat to score when the running game gets going.
Heaven Gilbert Heaven Gilbert 5'10" | PF Wichita Heights | 2025 State KS , 5’10”, PF, Wichita Heights – Easily one of the top power forwards in the 2025 class as well as in the greater Wichita area, she brings terrific stength and smarts to every game. Most opponents will not move her on either end of the floor and not just because of her size. She gains position very well in most situations, anticipates passes well, and has good hands. She runs the floor exceptionally well and has a soft touch around the hoop. A second team Greater Wichita Area League selection in 2023 she climbed 14 spots to #33.
Kaliyah Fulton Kaliyah Fulton 5'8" | CG Hayden | 2025 State KS , 5’6″, CG, Hayden – Fulton is being included with this group despite KSHSAA just announcing the 23-24 classification changes that push Hayden into 3A from 4A. Fulton is a high IQ, strong handling point guard who climbed 13 spots to #64. She has game that resembles former Topeka great and now Hutchinson Community College guard Smith and has been mentored by former Highland Park/Topeka and HCC point guard Yana Grassity – both high assists and low assists-to-turnovers generating point guards. She received Centennial League honorable mention honors a season ago.
Addison Bond Addison Bond 5'9" | PG Spring Hill | 2025 State KS , 5’9″, PG, Spring Hill – Bond is a solid handling point guard who can handles at speed. I really like her ability to make good entry passes, including bounce passes, into the post. Rising 11 spots to #42 I fully anticipate her landing on the Frontier League’s post season honors list.
Sydney Buscher Sydney Buscher 6'0" | SF Spring Hill | 2025 State KS , 6’0″, SF, Spring Hill – The second team Frontier League selection breaks into the top 25 with a 10 spot move to #22/ A walking double-double (12 points, 10 rebounds in 2023) she shot nearly 53% from the floor.
Amiyah Hamilton Amiyah Hamilton 5'6" | CG Wichita East | 2025 State KS , 5’6″, CG, Wichita East – The Blue Aces had numerous players receive Greater Wichita Area League honors and Hamilton was included. With terrific speed and quickness the GWAL honorable mention selection, moving up 10 spots to #63, will have plenty of opportunity as part of a deep guard rotation to put pressure on opponents on both ends of the floor.
Maliyah Lansang Maliyah Lansang 5'6" | CG Derby | 2025 State KS , 5’5″, CG, Derby – Lansang, despite only averaging a point and a rebound a game last season, is a high IQ player who provides leadership on the floor. Advancing 10 spots to #101 she will be counted on in the guard rotation to provide state tournament experience to help push her Panthers into the 6A tournament for another deep run.
