She was playing for Porter Basketball Academy. They were playing against [program_tooltip program_id='713121' first='Lady' last='Brad Beal Elite']. Had no idea who she was. I did after watching that game. She led PBA to an overtime victory over a pretty talented BBE team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Now: The 5'8" 2026 guard concluded a fabulous career by leading St. Elizabeth to the state championship. She was a serious bucket who can score from all three levels. She averaged nearly 30 points a game and she finished her career with 2,448 points, which is first on the school's all-time list. In her final game at St. E, she had 32 points and 10 rebounds in the victory over Delta in the state championship game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1805675,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/03/IMG_9965.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1805675" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Class 2 - [player_tooltip player_id='722136' first='Ava' last='Schlotzhauer'] (Tipton)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When I First Saw Her Play: At the Kewpie Classic at Hickman High in June of her freshman year. She was a reserve forward at the time who came into the game and immediately started pushing people around in the post.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Now: The 5'10" 2026 forward became a starter as a sophomore and enjoyed three tremendous seasons. In her final year, she helped lead the Cardinals to the Class 2 state championship. She was a most unique player as she scored in the low post and on her drives with her left hand, but she shot free throws and perimeter shots with her natural right hand. It made her tough to guard. She finished her career with 1,900 points and 1,200 rebounds. As a senior, she averaged 18.4 points, 10.2 rebounds and two assists while making 26 3-pointers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1736856,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/02/IMG_9382.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1736856" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Class 3 [player_tooltip player_id='791650' first='Dasia' last='Scott'] (Principia)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When I First Saw Her Play: At the Sweet Hoops Summer League at Lift for Life. She was a seventh-grader playing in the high school division and getting buckets and snatching rebounds with ease against the high schoolers. She was a force back then.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Now: The 6'2" 2027 forward was one of the state's most dominant players as she led the Panthers to a 30-2 record and the Class 3 state championship, the first in the school's history. She was a force in all facets of the game. She averaged 20.9 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.5 steals while making 55 3-pointers and blocking 36 shots. She has scholarship offers from Division I collegiate programs all over the country.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1136107,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/01/IMG_9353.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1136107" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Class 4 - [player_tooltip player_id='1039479' first='Kinley' last='Larsen'] (Strafford)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When I First Saw Here Play: Saw her playing at a tournament at the Linc in Jefferson City when she was in eighth grade. What I remember from that day was "that young lady can really shoot."</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Now: The 5'8" 2028 guard was tremendous in leading Strafford to the Class 4 state championship. She is one of the premiere perimeter shooters in the state. She can also create her own shot off the dribble and score on the drive. When she had it going, she could knock down shots from anywhere on the court with great range. She continued her excellence in the Final Four of the state tournament when she averaged 32 points a game in victories over Cardinal Ritter and Doniphan.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*****<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1222053,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/03/IMG_1235.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1222053" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Class 5 - [player_tooltip player_id='750683' first='Jordyn' last='Haywood'] (MICDS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When I First Saw Here Play: Like [player_tooltip player_id='791650' first='Dasia' last='Scott'] of Principia, I first saw her at the Sweet Hoops League at Lift for Life as a seventh-grader. She was playing in the high school division and looking like an experienced high school senior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Now: The 6'1" 2028 guard played like one of the top players in the class nationally in leading the Rams to a runner-up finish in the Class 5 state tournament. She is a terrific player who could impact play at both ends of the court. She turned in a masterpiece performance in the state semifinals against Marshfield with 35 points, 16 rebounds, five steals and two blocks in the Rams' victory. For the season, she averaged 25.7 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 2.2 blocks while also making 49 3-pointers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1712169,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/02/IMG_9266.jpeg?w=987" alt="" class="wp-image-1712169" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Class 6 - [player_tooltip player_id='317337' first='Addison' last='Bjorn'] (Park Hill South)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When I First Saw Her Play: An an USJN event at St. Charles West High when she was in eighth grade playing for [program_tooltip program_id='712484' first='Della' last='Lamb'] 14Us. Even then, she was tall and very skilled with a nice feel for the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Now: The 6'2" 2026 Texas recruit finished her career as one of the top players ever produced in the Kansas City area. She was also the state's latest McDonald's All-American selection. She did it all in leading Park Hill South to a 22-7 record and a conference championship. As a senior, she averaged 25.6 points, 14.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.6 blocks. She started off the season with a 48-point, 16-rebound performance against Liberty North.
