Players With A Purpose

In this piece we highlight a few prospects out of the state of Nebraska that have put together respectable seasons in the past and they are looking to continue with that trend moving forward. Each individual would be someone that you would consider a hard-worker and they each know their purpose out on the hardwood while competing.   Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!    [player_tooltip player_id='336044' first='Alex' last='Beveridge'] of Gothenburg High School is returning this Winter for her Senior season and looking to make some noise. Beveridge is a guard that is 16 points away from 1000 for her Varsity career, she is a leader by example and demonstrates that each contest, and she isn't afraid to mix it up with anyone physically. Doesn't matter if she is undersized or not. Not to mention, she can shoot the three ball at an extremely high rate. I'll be looking out for Alex to be a main producer over the next six months with her squad. She possesses all the ability to put together a Winter to remember. Now she just has to go out and do it.     I was unfamiliar with [player_tooltip player_id='1058962' first='Keli' last='Aschoff'] and her Osmond/Randolph team's game but not anymore. Last season during her Junior year, Aschoff helped lead her O/R program in PPG with 7 on the offensive end. Defensively, each game she registered multiple tips/deflections, steals, assists, and rebounds. I won't have time to get to this team's most vital prospects but if I did, it would be Aschoff. She is the main piece to her team's success and that will be on full display for her Senior season.     Norfolk has so many solid recruits when you boil things down to the bare bones and I'm excited to see what they are going to be able to put together this Winter. Someone that I am intrigued about is F - [player_tooltip player_id='1058965' first='Bo' last='Caskey']. Caskey stands at 5'10, she competes more as a PF and she put up some respectable numbers as a Sophomore. She ended the year averaged just over 6 PPG, along with some other positive stats in the Rebounding and Blocks department. Caskey is going to be another notable player for this crew this Winter. If everyone comes correct and plays to their full ability this time around, they are going to love the way that things turn out in the end.     [player_tooltip player_id='1058966' first='Avery' last='Smith'] of Sutton High School is due to make a big step up this Winter on the court. Last season as a Sophomore she averaged just over 4 PPG and 1 RPG. This is better than her season prior so from an outside perspective, she is building on her progress each season up until this point. Smith is one of the more versatile players I've seen this off-season out of the 2026 Class and I'm curious to see how she holds up now that she is an upperclassmen within their system.     As a Freshman last season for Wausa High School, Forward - [player_tooltip player_id='1058967' first='Elle' last='Brazel'] joined the program and made her mark as a promising, young talent. Brazel played both the JV and Varsity levels throughout the season and she actually averaged better numbers during her time on the Varsity floor, in more than one statistical category. I have a feeling that Brazel is the future of this program in a lot of ways. If she continues to get better in her off-seasons as she grows older, everyone better watch out.
