<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='910354' first='Kylie' last='Cross'], 5'4", PG, Blue Valley Southwest, 2026 - Light build. Finished challenged layup with speed off the bounce. Solid handles. Smart.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='335953' first='SaMiyah' last='Ellis'], 5'9", PG, Wichita Heights, 2026 - Sets up defender to drive. Good hops and scoring ability. When well defended on drives, reading where the weakside help has come from to take away block scoring will improve with decisions regarding shot selection, dime dropping and pass through to shooters.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='544009' first='Aniyah' last='Harris'], 5'8", CG, Wichita Heights, 2026 - Challenges shots well without fouling. Fast. Scores well in traffic off the dribble.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='539005' first='Saliyah' last='Henderson-Johnson'], 5'6", PG, Arkansas City, 2025 - Swiftness on basket drives generated three point play opportunities. Athletic with good hops. Quickness playing on the top of zone pressure was very good.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='650612' first='Molly' last='Numrich'], 5'3", PG, Blue Valley Northwest, 2026 - Terrific, quick down the lane drive for a floater. Heavy use of a variety of fakes to get a step or create space. Smarter defenders back off. Has got to shoot the perimeter shot, defenses give it her. Cans mid-range pull up jumper off the dribble. Solid on-ball defender. Good lead guard. Pushes, shares, creates for others.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='349452' first='Grace' last='Posch'], 5'7", PG, Hutchinson, 2025 - Really good at moving into space to spot up and for teammates to find passing lanes. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='910357' first='Macy' last='Price'], 5'6", PG, Olathe South, 2026 - Very good on-ball defender. Strong, heady. Creates well with head fakes. Went left down the lane and extended on the score, generates three point play opportunities.</p>
