They have one of the state's most dominant players in 6'4" 2026 [player_tooltip player_id='351752' first='Jayda' last='Porter'] and a top-level 2025 prospect in 5'11" [player_tooltip player_id='302783' first='Mari' last='Miller']. A couple of other veteran 2025 guards who played well on Saturday were 5'9" guard Ellie Porter and 5'9" guard Malia Chievous.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":665418,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/05/SyRae-Stemmons.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-665418" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hickman: It was second look at the host Kewpies this week as I saw them on Tuesday at the SLU team camp. I paid a little closer attention to them on Saturday. They had a nice win against rival Rock Bridge in sudden death on a free throw by 5'11" 2025 [player_tooltip player_id='303302' first='Caroline' last='Eastman']. The Kewpies also have a strong 1-2 combination in 5'9" 2025 point guard [player_tooltip player_id='303297' first='Jayla' last='Griffith'] and 5'10" forward [player_tooltip player_id='453247' first='Sy'Rae' last='Stemmons']. Hickman unveiled a talented 2028 guards in [player_tooltip player_id='917908' first='Bayleigh' last='Blueitt'], [player_tooltip player_id='886555' first='Zaire' last='Jones'] and [player_tooltip player_id='886563' first='Jordyn' last='Wray'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":921332,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/06/IMG_3949.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-921332" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Boonville: The Lady Pirates looked very good in the game I watched against West Plains, where they won a three-point decision. They have an excellent 2026 backcourt in point guard [player_tooltip player_id='734902' first='Effie' last='Morris'] and shooting guard [player_tooltip player_id='624828' first='Karagyn' last='Cooper']. Morris is one of the fastest players in the state while Cooper can dial it up from long distance. [player_tooltip player_id='1235031' first='Bella' last='Imhoff'] is a solid 2026 forward as is 2027 Katie Drummond. Holding down the post will be 2027s Charlotte Rohrbac and 6'5" center [player_tooltip player_id='602253' first='Olivia' last='Davis'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":921333,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/06/IMG_3903.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-921333" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>West Plains: The Lady Zizzers must replace an All-State forward, a dynamic guard and a Hall of Fame coach who just retired, but they look to have a very competitive young unit from what I watched. They have one of the top incoming 2028s in the state in 5'11" [player_tooltip player_id='954858' first='Gillian' last='Green'], who can score from anywhere. Fellow 2028 point guard has speed and perimeter shooting ability. West Plains has some impressive returning players in 2026 [player_tooltip player_id='722140' first='Lucy' last='Hafer'], point guard [player_tooltip player_id='937735' first='Zoe' last='Scharnhorst'] along with 2026 Thayer transfer Shaylee Peterson.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":676735,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/06/IMG_2253-1.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-676735" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>California: The Pintos have another solid team and they looked very impressive in a victory over Father Tolton. They have a tremendous all-around player in 5'9" 2025 guard [player_tooltip player_id='633959' first='Hailey' last='Rademan'] who can shoot, pass and handle the ball while also being a disruptive defender. [player_tooltip player_id='303291' first='Kierstyn' last='Lawson'] is a 2025 point guard who is one of the top floor leaders in Mid Missouri. I was also impressed with 5'9" 2027 forward [player_tooltip player_id='1233017' first='Emily' last='Burger'], who was an impressive finisher inside. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":921335,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/06/IMG_3978.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-921335" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hermann: The Bearcats have an impressive 1-2 combination is 5'10" 2025 guard [player_tooltip player_id='509975' first='Ava' last='Hughes'] and 2026 guard Kennedie Witthaus . Hughes is an excellent multi-tasker who facilitates offense, get buckets and makers her teammates better. She is also a dynamic defender. Witthaus is a downtown shooter with excellent range.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":921336,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/06/IMG_3857.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-921336" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Father Tolton: The Trailblazers are a young team with plenty of size on the frontcourt. They have one of the top 2027s in the state in 6'2" forward [player_tooltip player_id='803056' first='Simone' last='Walker']. She can excel with the power game in the low post, but she also does a lot of ball handling and facilitating. She is quite a prospect with her versatility. Neela Adair is a 5'11" 2026 forward who is a blue-collar player who rebounds the ball with great activity. Point guard Kimya Ramsingh is a 2027 transfer from Battle who can really distribute the ball where it needs to go.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
