These athletes are young, but their impact on the court is anything but minor. From sharp-shooting guards to physical post presences, this crew brings grit, versatility, and a glimpse into the program's bright future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Whether it's [player_tooltip player_id='883539' first='Chesney' last='Marshall'] lighting it up from deep, [player_tooltip player_id='844170' first='Myah' last='Korf'] locking down opponents on both ends or Ava and Cienna controlling the paint with size and strength—this group is developing fast and demanding attention.

Watching her play makes it hard to believe she just finished her first year. With her long-range shooting, she's a constant threat from the outside. She can also put the ball on the floor and use her quick feet and hands to attack the basket. She has plenty of moves in her arsenal, from euro steps to ball fakes, and she finds a way to get to the hole. Chesney's game is well beyond her age, and she's poised to become a powerhouse in the years ahead.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["844170"],"_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-6835e817393df"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='844170' first='Myah' last='Korf'] is a quick and nimble player. She is an absolute pest on defense. Her defensive skills range from getting steals to finding herself in the perfect position to block shots. As a guard, she can play on the block on defense, and when she does, it allows for her to be a great help on D. Her skills aren't limited to defense; she also is a formidable shooter and has good range to her shot. She is poised to break out in the future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1319522' first='Ava' last='Headrick']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12120","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Arkansas City ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Western [program_tooltip program_id='715643' first='Kansas' last='Elite']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-683743211fabf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ava can bring some height to the squad. She has great presence down low on defense and the ability to block shots. On the rebounding side she doesn't rest on her height alone she works hard at blocking out and positioning herself for boards. As her footwork improves she will become a threat on the offensive side of the court. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1267137' first='Cienna' last='Maskill']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12120","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Trinity Catholic ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Western [program_tooltip program_id='715643' first='Kansas' last='Elite']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6837485babaa6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Standing at 5'11", Cienna impacts the game with her size. She is strong and capable in her position. Her length and ability to physically dominate on the defensive side of the ball can cause problems for the opposing teams. As her game involves and incorporates more offensive skills into her skill set, she can become a force to be reckoned with.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
