The Cougars hung tough with the No. 7 squad in the state before the Little Hawks pulled away in the fourth quarter for a 66-53 victory. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's a closer look at Kennedy student-athletes followed by a photo gallery of Cougars: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["920716"],"_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-6935c4a59f775"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dill is a modern-day combo guard capable of initiating offense or creating it. A strong handle helps in shaking defenders whether its to free up a three-point attempt or in dribble driving. With range extending well beyond the arc, Dill doesn't need much room to get off her shot. She breaks down defenses off the bounce with either hand. Dill moves well off of the ball and receives it shot ready. With a good feel for finding open teammates when defenses collapse on her, she makes sound decisions. A good athlete with lateral quickness, Dill can lock down on opponents. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1198780"],"_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-6935c66a4818f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jameson does not look like a freshman. She's every bit of 6-foot-1 with a solid frame and the potential to add more strength in the coming years. Her game also is advanced from a technical standpoint as well. Smooth footwork and the ability to attack with either hand makes her a tough matchup in the post. Agility allows Jameson to face up and operate away from the low block, whether that's setting up in high post or pushing out to the wing, where she shows a knack for finding cutting teammates. Efficiency already is a part of her game as evidenced by her connecting on 11 of her first 15 field goal attempts this season. Jameson is, without question, one to watch moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1500636"],"_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-6935cc92df2ee"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sain is a quick point guard that can shake defenders off of the bounce and pressure the ball as a defender. Toughness also is a critical part of her game. It leads to a fearlessness on dribble penetration that gets her to the foul line. Sain complements those strengths by being a threat from behind the three-point arc if defenses sags. After getting her feet wet farther down the rotation last season, Sain appears ready for a sizable jump forward as a junior this winter. Through three games of 2025-26, she'd already just about matched her point production from a year ago.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1500653"],"_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-6935d0063d204"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Thier is a hard-nosed, two-way guard that seems to fill in the gaps wherever the team needs her. That's accomplished with a broad base of skills. A good handle helps break down defenses whether initiating the action or when there's a mismatch to be exploited off of the bounce. Thier showed last season in a more limited role that she can knocked down treys. That should be a place to stress defenses this season as she'll get open looks based on team composition. Thier's growth on offense would complement her versatility and effectiveness as a defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1058974"],"_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-6935d2cfad360"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stallman stands our for her versatility and well-rounded skill set. They were on display during Kennedy's first three games of 2025-26, when the sophomore ranked among the Cougar leaders in most statistical categories. An ability to contribute wherever is needed at a given time makes her a valuable piece to her team. Stallman's shooting form is smooth. She receives the ball in a shot-ready position and the release is quick. Looking comfortable all around the arc, Stallman likes to ding defenses from the corner pocket. Physical strength and toughness also are part of the repertoire. She can get to the rim and finish.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:gallery {"linkTo":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped"><!-- wp:image {"id":1500698,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/12/137A0442.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1500698" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Cedar Rapids Kennedy 2027Isabella Senters.
