The Wichita Area’s All-Class, 2025, Top 10

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The fall rankings updates and 2029 class watch list was released in September. Ahead of the 2025-2026 season's December start it is time to take a step back and revisit the Wichita area's all-class top ten. Over the years that I have released a top ten this list was easily the most difficult to compile. Many underclassmen could have made this list. Graduation removed half of last year's members, three of whom are either playing NCAA D I or NJCAA D I basketball. For the five returners, a large pool of young talent has shown up to challenge for a top ten spot. Take a look at the updated list ahead of the first tip off. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["719101"],"_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-66fb5382a8521"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">After slotting at #4 ahead of last season Askew claims the top spot in the Wichita area top ten. In her two years at Derby she and the Panthers reached the final four of the 2024 6A state tournament and dropped the championship game last season to Blue Valley North. Askew's game has always be marked by her fluidness, smarts and athleticism with an inside-out game. What she has added is pure power forward toughness and ferocity. One of the most difficult players in the state to match up with. The two-time AVCTL Div I first team and 2025 defensive player of the year was a consensus first or second team selection by KBCA, KSHSAACovered and SIK.
