Skutt Catholic has taken a step back this Winter since coming off of their title last season. They have a new staff and a new lineup for the most part. Last Winter they won a State Title but during that run they didn’t play many underclassman, which is costing them now. Someone that is having a nice start to her Sophomore season is Penny Currans Penny Currans 5'9" | SG/PF Skutt Catholic | 2028 State NE though. Currans is doing all that she can. She is playing with high energy and really being a positive influence while trying to produce for those around her. She might not be the tallest but Currans has heart. She knows what it takes to be a Champion and she is trying to instill that into the rest of the program. In this Update, Currans jumps into our Top 40 at #39. A respectable spot as we move into 2026.

I have always spoken highly about the up and coming prospects in the Skutt High School program and Penny Currans Penny Currans 5'9" | SG/PF Skutt Catholic | 2028 State NE is another one to know about.
