The Teutons built a 14-point lead after one quarter and never looked back. She led Inman in points, scoring 23 points on 8-of-15 shooting. She also recorded the first double-double of the Class 2A Tournament, grabbing 10 rebounds. Harris is committed to Utah to play volleyball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='899340' first='Ellie' last='Thimmesch']</strong>, 5'4”, SG, Inman, ‘27</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Thimmesch is a young shooter scouts should take notice of. She nailed a couple of early 3-pointers for Inman. She is a solid ball-handler and plays quality defense. The sophomore guard made a couple of pretty bounce passes for easy assists late in the game. She finished the game with eight points and dished out five assists. Thimmesch is ranked No. 98 overall in the Kansas Class of 2027.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='773201' first='Morgan' last='Froese']</strong>, 5'11”, PF, Inman, ‘26</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Morgan is the older sister in powerhouse paint pairing for Inman. Froese played shutdown defense in the win as the Panthers were unable to mount much of an interior scoring attack. She is ranked No. 121 overall in the Kansas Class of 2026. She finished the game with seven points and seven rebounds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1216022' first='Taylor' last='Froese']</strong>, 5'10”, PF, Inman, ‘27</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Taylor is the younger Froese sister and likes to shoot from outside more often than her sister. She is a hair quicker, but like her older sibling, she is not shy about hitting the boards. She is currently an unranked prospect, however, that will be remedied when the next rankings update takes place. Froese did have an off-shooting night, scoring just two points on 1-of-9 shooting from the field.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
