She is a name that I will be looking for as we progress this upcoming season. With impressive height and a growing presence on the floor, VonLintel has the potential to become a key piece for the Knights. Her ability to alter shots and create matchup problems will only expand as she gains experience and confidence. As she continues to develop her game, keep an eye on VonLintel especially heading into the 2025–26 season, where she could emerge as a major impact player for Victoria.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1265479"],"_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-68962d8cde364"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1265479' first='Lilly' last='Hurley'] is stepping into a legacy of excellence at Central Plains, a powerhouse program that has produced some of the most dominant basketball prospects in Kansas under the guidance of legendary coach Pat Stiles. As a sophomore, she is about to see her stock rise this year as her role looks to expand within a system known for developing high-IQ, fundamentally sound players. With the culture and pedigree surrounding her, expect Hurley to emerge as the next name to watch out of Central Plains as she grows into a bigger leadership and production role this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1249363"],"_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-68962d8cde3b0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1249363' first='Reniah' last='Hollinshed'] brings undeniable energy to the court every time she steps on it. Her hustle, grit, and relentless determination are hard to miss and set the tone for her team. Whether it's diving for loose balls, chasing down rebounds, applying ball pressure, or blocking shots. She plays with a motor that coaches love. If she continues to channel that same drive into her offseason development, refining her skills and expanding her offensive toolbox, her stock could see a significant rise in the coming years. With her work ethic as the foundation, Hollinshed is a player to keep on the radar as she progresses through her high school career at Piper.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1237781"],"_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-68962d8cde3f8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1237781' first='Calleigh' last='Hull'] possesses the physical tools and height that immediately catch your attention on the floor. With her size and athletic frame, she has the potential to become a force in Kansas high school basketball. With continuing to develop her footwork, skill set, and basketball IQ, she could become a serious problem for opponents. Hull is definitely a name I'll be tracking closely as her career at Junction City progresses. The foundation is there for her to make a mark in Kansas hoops.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
