Pocahontas Area is going to be in the conversation for the State Tournament this Winter with who they have to play. Their group should have minimal losses moving into the Playoffs but we will see. Someone from this squad, that really is their engine in most ways is Alayne Kakecek at the starting PG position. No only is Kakacek their starting PG, she is also their main scoring threat off the dribble while attacking. When it comes to defense, someone that doesn’t take plays off. She has a quick first step and a Will to dominate anyone that might be across from her. AK’s coordination and balance are next level when you pair it along with her body control when she is trying to get into the teeth of the defense so I’m hoping that will be on full display for anyone watching for one more go around before she graduates.

There is definitely some skill and knowledge of the game with Alayna Kakacek Alayna Kakacek 5'7" | PG Pocahontas Area | 2026 IA of Pochanotas Area. Kakacek is a smooth operator with the ball in her possession. She is someone that doesn’t force any action and she always competes at her own pace, never being sped up or slowed down by an opposition. In 5 on 5, Kakacek thrived as a top player out on the floor. She made consistent plays for her squad and that was noticeable to everyone in attendance. If Kakacek gets the chance, she could do really well at the next level in the right system. She just needs to find a good fit.
