More Thoughts from the NE Girls Basketball Showcase

The Nebraska Girls Basketball Showcase featured talent at every class level last Saturday at Kearney High School. Earlier this week, our Jeremy Brooks <a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2026/01/nebraska-girls-basketball-showcase-thoughts-from-afar/">highlighted just a few of the standouts.</a> But, there are plenty more. We will have one more Showcase story tomorrow as well.   Here are some other players who are making an impact on their high school teams this season and who had a good day last Saturday.    In Malcolm's 47-38 win over Central City, Dolliver had 20 points on 7-for-19 shooting and was 5-for-7 from the free throw line. But, what college coaches should really be watching is the motor with which Dolliver plays. She added seven steals and six rebounds to her tally against the Bison and could seemingly play all 32 minutes without a break. Scored 18 points and had four rebounds, four assists and four steals in last week's 66-64 loss to Milford, the only loss this year for the Clippers. By the time she graduates we may be looking at a 6-2 point guard with all the tools in her tool box.     Province is a gritty competitor and one of the leaders of Kearney's undefeated season in Class A so far, as the Bearcats moved to a 12-0 with a 59-46 win over Gothenburg in the Saturday nightcap. An elite defender, Province is always in the mix on the defensive end. She is averaging nearly 13 points per contest to go along with four rebounds, three assists and four steals. On Saturday, she scored 20 points on just 12 shots from the field while added six rebounds, three assists and four steals. She could be a high riser this spring in the 2027 class.     Hansen is a long and intriguing prospect in the class of 2028. Against Class A Millard North -- a game her Pender team won 50-40 -- Hansen belong with some the best prospects in Nebraska. At 5-11 she's has a good inside-outside game and had 10 points, eight rebounds and two assists on Saturday. On the season for Pender, she is averaging nearly 11 points and is second behind senior [player_tooltip player_id='502331' first='Hadley' last='Walsh'] in rebounding at 5.5 per contest. Had a small role in last year's state title run for the Pendragons and has blossomed in her new role in 2025-26.     Our first look at the Millard North standout freshman was a good one, as she poured in 21 points and grabbed six rebounds in the. loss to Pender. She did most of her work in the Showcase slashing to the basket as she made 9-of-15 field goals and shot just one 3-point shot. McKenzie is averaging nearly 20 points an outing and is shooting 55% from the field on the season and over 73% from the line. As McKenzie develops her outside shooting, she may become an impossible player to guard.     Got two more looks at Miller last week and her game continues to impress as she is outside of the spotlight for Milford with standout sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='884235' first='Shayla' last='Rautenberg'] averaging nearly 19 points and 16 rebounds a contest. Miller's game is just as good and she can score with a variety of moves in the post. Against Ogallala in a 53-36 win, she scored 15 points and grabbed six rebounds on 7-of-13 shooting. In a win over top-ranked Malcolm scored eight points and had six rebounds as the Clippers packed the paint. Shooting 50% from the field and averaging nearly 15 points per contest.
