Robert’s Top 5 Pre-Season 2A All-State Picks

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The landscape of the 2A classification has changed substantially for the 2025 season. KSHSAA's&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kshsaa.org/Public/General/Classifications.cfm">2024-2025 Classifications and Enrollments</a> shows 11 of the 64 teams included to be new. Four, Phillipsburg; Douglass; Rossville; and Leon-Bluestem, joined from 3A. Seven, Udall; Soloman; Central Christian Academy; Oswego; Sylvan-Lucas; Yates Center; and Doniphan West, moved up from 1A Division I. Given those changes here is a look, by position, at my top five pre-season, all-state picks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["544025"],"_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-6728e7d2c72dc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Tornados stormed through the 2024 season before seeing it coming to an end with only their fifth loss, a state tournament run-in with St. Marys Colgan. Look for a return led by arguably the top talent in the class. A two-time Tri-Valley League first team selection Rucker also is a returning 2A KBCA and Sports In Kansas first and KSHSAACovered second team selection. She has long held a Wichita State University offer and likely has several more. Strong, smart, physical and can shoot the rock. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["621264"],"_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-6728e7d2c7340"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wilson is arguably one of the most unknown top players in the class. She and her Bulldogs took a 15-5 record into arguably the strongest 2A sub-state last season and were summarily dismissed by Inman by nearly 30. I anticipate the two-time Flint Hills League first, Sports In Kansas 2A second and KSHSAACovered third team selection will make a deep sub-state run this season. Wilson is diverse talent on both ends of the floor with terrific size. Walking double-double. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["544027"],"_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-6728e7d2c7385"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Scott had another huge summer after finishing 2024 with among the highest honors in the class. The Hi-Plains League first team selection also picked up Sports In Kansas first team and KBCA and KSHSAACovered second team nods. Even double and triple teamed inside she will easily average a double-double in 2025. She holds offers from Fort Hays State and Pittsburg State.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["881001"],"_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-6728e7d2c73c5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">While the Panthers lost the last of their huge front line to graduation Davis returns for another push to the state title that has eluded the Panthers. She was absolutely dominant at the Prep Girls Hoops Dynsasty Circuit events I saw this past summer. The returning Crawford-Neosho-Cherokee League first team selection also picked up Sports In Kansas second team and KBCA and KSHSAACovered 2A honorable mention honors last season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["719104"],"_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-6728e7d2c7402"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Wildcats are loaded in 2025 and are my pick to ship the Heart of America League crown. Patrick was the top perimeter shooter in the classification in 2024, burying 40% of her shots with 67 made. She also shot 78% from the line. She is a returning HOA first team and KSHSAACovered 2A honorable mention selection. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
