Expert Analysis

The 2025 season saw the fields of the 3A and 2A state tournament include a team from the Flint Hills League. Only a four point, sub-state final loss to 2A state runner-up Doniphan West kept the Chargers from reaching it instead. Expect the league to make noise this year again. All five Flint Hills League first team selections, including Orton, return. Only this year Wabaunsee will be in 1A D I. KBCA, KSHSAA and SIK named her to their 2A honorable mention teams and, given how much her game has grown over the summer, she should make first or second team all-state. The power forward is a force on both ends. Fluid on offense, physical defensively (as most SSA players are) and blessed with a length; strength and a solid frame she will be a serious problem keeping her off the glass. She knows how to get good looks inside and will keep defenders honest by shooting over them from afar too. She gained 23 spots in the rankings and could move into the top 50 with December’s release.
