I just loved Jovi Evans Jovi Evans 5'7" | PG/SG Mid-Prairie | 2026 IA ‘ grit on Saturday. Her 5’7″ frame doesn’t stop her from battling in the trenches — from cutting to post, to sealing on the inside with drop steps, to diving in for offensive rebounds, Evans made her presence known in the paint. She also has a strong ability to read the defense on the perimeter. She reads defenders well and separated off of ball screens and handoffs for huge threes in the second half. With a quick trigger and solid release, Evans hit one of the most clutch shots of the night as well — a contested buzzer beater as the shot clock expired to tie the game during crunch time in the fourth quarter. There’s no quit and all fight in this kid.

I’m surprised that this one of the first times I have seen Jovi Evans Jovi Evans 5'7" | PG/SG Mid-Prairie | 2026 IA compete on the Varsity floor because of how solid she is as an overall prospect. Evans holds her own. She is the head of her Mid-Prairie Team’s system on both sides of the floor and that makes sense because she works ridiculously hard. She is always one of the first on the floor going for a ball or diving into the stands. That effort not only speaks about her as a prospect on the hardwood but about her overall character as well.
