Seniors Starting Their Final Season Right

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Over the last 24 hours, we've discussed some players who could have a case for either the WBCA Ms. Basketball and Gatorade Player of the Year awards. Today, to end the day, we'll look at some seniors who have had standout seasons that I haven't highlighted as much as I'd like throughout the early portions of the 2025-26 season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='533059' first='Kelly' last='Boinski']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Catholic Memorial guard has been a part of multiple second-weekend tournament teams over the last few years at CMH. Boinski had a significant role over the past few seasons, but she is the focal point of what the Crusaders are doing, and they've competed with some talented teams in the first month of the season because of Boinski. She has shot the ball well, used her physicality to rebound defensively, and has been capable of handling the offensive responsibility she has in her final season of high school basketball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='842231' first='Toria' last='DeVoe']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Belleville guard has been among the top spot shooters in the state the last few seasons. However, she has done a better job creating shots off the dribble, without having a true post presence playing alongside her. DeVoe is able to operate with more space around the basket, and she's been comfortable generating her shot with the ball in her hands. She also plays with enough composure to work her way through traffic around the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='624964' first='Ashiya' last='Hopkins']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Wisconsin Dells guard/wing has developed into an excellent player for a Chiefs program looking to make a run to the state tournament this season. Hopkins had an absurd nine three-pointer performance against Adams-Friendship to open her senior season and scored 42 points in that game. She has become a reliable creator for her team, perimeter threat, and uses her physicality to rebound around the basket and control the area around the basket defensivley by boxing out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Bre Heller</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Mauston wing has had a solid senior campaign and has been a reliable perimeter threat each time she's stepped on the floor for the Golden Eagles. Heller is a zone-buster who can shoot teams out of zones, and her high release makes it challenging for defenders to disrupt her when they close her out defensively. Heller has also used her length to rebound and help clear her team's defensive lines or generate extra possessions on the offensive glass. She has been an intriguing performer in the first month of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
