<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Over the course of the last several weeks I have enjoyed the opportunity to watch plenty of action live or via live-stream.

She has handles to combat trapping, lead the break in transition and score with athleticism. She is a strong rebounder with a high motor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["719104"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1750616,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6990bfb9aa9be"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The defending 2A state champs have one of the class' premier shooters that I have long been familiar with. She uses her good speed and lateral separation ability on the perimeter, along with a quick release, to bury shots. In a dominant win over Inman she nailed several three pointers. Patrick also has a solid frame and good speed, including with the ball. She worked well in schemes and defended solidly in the half court. All colleges look for shooters and Patrick is one not to be missed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["899340"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1750593,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6990bfb9aaa1e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Thimmesch is the floor leading, controlled point guard every team would love to have. Speed with the ball, strong down-the-floor and half-court vision, toughness, lateral quickness, high motor and scoring ability at all three levels. In a variety of situations she consistently made quick, catchable passes. Expect rankings updates to reflect her rising stock.</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":1750623,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Tenley Keeton","_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":"5'4u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12125","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Hutchinson","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"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-6990c3c16fb7c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I have kept an eye on Keeton for many years, watching her development. This season has been a breakout year. Earlier in the season what impressed me was how well she non-verbally communicated with bigs working to post up inside. Her entry passing is strong. Soft, catchable and delivered where the big wants it and only they can get to it. Her shooting has come to the fore as well. At the Mid America Classic she set a tournament record with 8 made threes in a game. She also tied a tournament record with 10 steals in that game as well. Keeton is quick, smart, feisty and a big part of the deep Salthawk backcourt.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Read about more guards from the <a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2026/01/opening-round-game-ball-award-winners-at-the-mid-america-classic/">Mid America Classic</a>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Over the course of the last several weeks I have enjoyed the opportunity to watch plenty of action live or via live-stream. Numerous guards have grabbed my attention with their play. Enjoy a look at a handful of them.
