She has some bounce to her play, walls up well defensively and has solid north-south speed. She played solid supporting minutes in the Falcons' 6A state quarterfinal loss, picking up 4 points and a block. I look forward to seeing more of her game in the extended minutes I expect her to play this weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["779218"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","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-681c191fbd734"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Halliday missed the entire 2025 season after starting at point guard for the Falcons as a freshman. While I do not anticipate that she will be anywhere near 100% I do expect to see the vision, ball skills, IQ and leadership that impressed me to rank her as one of the top players in the class.

Ifland was a bright spot that bears watching as she heads into her junior year. Last season she put up 10.6 points, 6 rebounds, 2.6 steals and 2.2 assists. Ifland shot 44% from the floor and 56% from the line. I have liked how well she competes on both ends of the floor. I will be watching for improved strength and perimeter shooting. Ifland was a honorable mention selection by the MCL and in the 2A classification by Sports In Kansas.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["723402"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","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-681c191fbd7bf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McCarty's impact on Kansas 1A D II basketball has been immense over the last two seasons. Heading into her junior year she has averaged 23 points, 9 rebounds, shot 55% from the floor including 37% from behind the arc and 67% from the line. This past season she also put up a assists-to-turnovers ratio of 2.28. She has a solid, strong frame with length and works on both ends with quickness. McCarty picked up a offer from Southeast Missouri State in 2024 and is just getting started. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["884864"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","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-681c0df45157b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">showed three point range with a quickish release and range.
