She is entering the 2026 rankings for the first time at #42 overall and as the #5 power forward in the class. She is an excellent rebounder and shot blocker, as she averaged 5.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists, and 1.0 blocks per game, even while sharing time with other talented players on the roster. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["888115"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-666b39f2d9726"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another newcomer to the 2026 rankings, [player_tooltip player_id='888115' first='Gwen' last='Rasmussen'] is clocking in at #62 overall and #12 amongst power forwards. Rasmussen offers a valuable combination of size at 5'10 and athleticism which she uses to often score in double-digits, lead the team in rebounding, and create big steals. She and the Bulldogs narrowly missed a trip to the final 8 last year, so they will be hungry for redemption this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["921397"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-666b39f2d9771"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Yet another talented power forward to make the list, Southridge's [player_tooltip player_id='921397' first='Addison' last='White'] is one of the young talents on the team that has already given them so much success. She is entering with a #41 overall ranking and the #4 rank at the power forward position. White is a beast in the paint for the Skyhawks, using her 6'1 size and excellent timing to block shots and protect the rim while also hauling in lots of rebounds and finishing with a soft touch on the offensive end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["921402"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-666bb614da324"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='921402' first='Adie' last='Nisly'] is one of the state's top stars at the 3A level, and the point guard debuts in the rankings at #9 for her position and #24 overall. While leading the Warriors to a second-place finish in the state, Nisly had an incredible sophomore season, proving along the way that she knows how to hoop, plain and simple. She has very little weakness in her game with her abilities to knock down the deep ball, rebound hard, display excellent court vision, rack up steals with her high-level defense, and more. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["921391"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-666bb614da36f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another newcomer to the 2026 rankings is Crook County's [player_tooltip player_id='921391' first='Kacy' last='Wiederholt'], the #56 prospect and the #10 shooting guard in this round of ranks. Wiederholt is a high energy player who brings a spark and level of speed to the game. She creates steals frequently that turn into opportunities at the other end, either for herself with her smooth finishing ability or when finding her teammates for assists. With only a few seniors graduating, the future for the Cowgirls looks very bright with Wiederholt and other talented young players on the roster.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
