The Lady Bison compete in the always-competitive Sunflower League, which features programs from across some of the most talent-rich areas in Kansas, including Shawnee Mission, Overland Park, Olathe, Gardner, and Lawrence.   Shawnee Mission North enters the 2025–26 season determined to turn things around after a challenging 2024–25 campaign. North finished 2–11 in conference play and 6-15 overall, but with new energy and a developing roster, they're aiming to take a meaningful step forward this year. They are lead by Coach Trinity Hall in her 2nd year.     Key Returners:   Tamia Washington - A senior combo guard returning for North, Tamia led the Lady Bison in nearly every statistical category a year ago.

She's also excellent off the ball, using her instincts to provide help defense and jump passing lanes. Offensively, she is well-rounded and excels at getting downhill to the basket and finishing through contact. She can also stretch the defense with her shooting ability, making her a versatile threat on both ends of the floor.   Amaya Thi - A junior guard who brings a strong defensive mindset to the team, Thi is a hardworking, high-energy player who consistently wins 50/50 balls, hustles for rebounds, takes charges, and is always around the action. Offensively, she shows the ability to step out and knock down the three, and she does a great job getting out in transition for easy baskets.     Ella Wilson - A senior forward who provides a strong interior presence for the Lady Bison, Ella excels at showing early help on defense and walling up to force opponents into tough shots over the top. She's a physical force in the paint and refuses to give up anything easy, anchoring the defense with toughness and discipline.     Haley Wieneke - A senior guard with good speed and quickness, Haley Wilson brings strong leadership to the group. She is solid with the ball in her hands and demonstrates true point-guard qualities, consistently getting the ball where it needs to be.
