She can score from anywhere on a basketball court and is racking up kills on the volleyball court. She leads Cheylin in kills so far this season. She has recorded 245 kills in 53 sets played this season for the Cougars. She is 50 kills away from reaching the 1,000-career kill total. She plays six rotations for Cheylin and has added 243 serve receptions and 186 digs to her stat line. She is ranked No. 10 overall in the Kansas Class of 2027.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["719105"],"_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-68dc872f223c9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Thompson is an athlete I have scouted this season on the volleyball court. She is quick and physical in both sports. She has played in just 16 varsity sets, but has recorded 31 kills and eight blocks for the Mavericks. She is ranked No. 10 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":["779243"],"_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-68dc872f22414"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I recently scouted the Ottawa Cylones, and their setter is a high-ranked basketball prospect. Askins-Dieterich has dished out 428 assists in 52 sets played to date. She has quick feet and his a verbal leader on the court in both sports. She has solid upper-body strength and is an athlete, I would think Division II coaches in both sports would be interested in. She has also recorded 21 kills and 15 blocks for the Cyclones. She is ranked No. 18 overall in the Kansas Class of 2027.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["884866"],"_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-68dc872f2245e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I have seen Busch multiple times this season, and she is having an excellent junior season for the Indians. She leads Manhattan in kills with 219 in 45 sets. That total is 100 more kills than any other hitter on the roster. She has the paint presence to record a double-double regularly on the basketball court. She is ranked No. 23 overall by Prep Girls Hoops. She plays six rotations for the Indians and has also tallied 155 digs and 332 serve receptions. She is closing in on 500 career kills and digs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["779938"],"_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-68dc872f224a6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I have seen Barger play both basketball and volleyball in the past. She is a talented athlete who I predict will choose basketball over volleyball at the next level. She has the skills and athleticism to play either sport collegiately. She is currenlty second on the Tigers' squad in kills with 106 in 42 sets played. She also has 16 blocks and is used primarily on the front row. Last season, she averaged seven points, 3.4 rebounds, and more than one assist and one steal per game as a sophomore on Eisenhower's basketball team. She is ranked No. 39 overall by Prep Girls Hoops/</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
