She is a physical athlete who can register a double-double in scoring and rebounds each time she takes the floor. So far during her senior volleyball campaign, she has recorded 107 kills and 14 blocks in 28 sets. Either the Cougars have not played many matches yet, or they are behind in entering their stats into MaxPreps. Fritz is ranked No. 12 overall in the Kansas Class of 2026 and is the No. 1-ranked center in the Sunflower State.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["481452"],"_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-68daa8e967288"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I scouted Hecht's volleyball game last month, and she can still jump out of the gym after recovering from a lower-body injury. She has verbally committed to playing basketball for the Nebraska-Kearney Lopers. She has registered 135 kills and 193 digs in 60 sets played this season. She has a legit chance to reach the 1,000-career mark in kills and digs by the end of this season. She can play point or shooting guard for the Red Raiders and is a threat to score from deep. She is currenlty ranked No. 15 overall by Prep Girls Hoops Kansas.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["634243"],"_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-68daa8e9672f1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Feldman has verbally committed to play basketball for the Fort Hays State Tigers, but she has still been showing off her skills on the volleyball court. Through 38 sets played, she has recorded 138 kills and 51 blocks. She is on pace to have back-to-back seasons with 100-plus total blocks. She is a double-double threat every time she takes the basketball floor for Little River. She is ranked No. 21 overall in the Kansas Class of 2026 rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["606255"],"_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-68daa8e96733d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Winter is far from frigid on the volleyball scene this season. Although only 31 sets' worth of stats have been reported, she has collected 91 kills. She has a heavy serve that has also accounted for 20 aces. The multi-sport athlete is a leader for the Indians during both the fall and winter seasons. She plays forward for Hays and has excellent rebounding skills. She is ranked No. 26 overall in the Kansas Class of 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["621236"],"_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-68daa8e9673b6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Barton is ranked No. 46 overall in the Kansas Class of 2026. The Wellington shooting guard is having a solid attacking senior season. She has collected 230 kills in 53 sets played for the Crusaders. She has also recorded 192 digs and 188 serve receptions. All of those numbers represent career highs for her on the volleyball court. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["621265"],"_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-68daa8e9673ff"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wurtz competes in all sports at high speed. She has recorded 183 assists and 122 kills for Clifton Clyde in 53 sets played. She can run a fast break with the best of the point guards in Kansas. Wurtz also competed as a sprinter at the state track meet last season. She is ranked No. 59 overall by PGH Kansas, and to my knowledge, is still uncommitted.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1213557"],"_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-68daa8e967451"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Coester has the highest number of kills so far for those included in this report. Through 61 sets played, she has tallied 309 kills for the Girard Trojans. She also reached the 1,000-career kill mark this season. She will make a run at 1,500 before the season concludes. She is a long forward who can clean the boards on the basketball court. She is currently ranked No. 70 overall by Prep Girls Hoops Kansas. I get the feeling she is leaning towards playing college volleyball, but has seemed open to playing either sport wherever she gets the opportunity.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
