Monticello (14-8) will go on the road to face off against Assumption (13-8) in an interesting matchup within the next few hours with the winner moving onto the Regional Championship on Saturday evening. The main producer for the Panthers, that is going to be looked to in some big moments this evening is Kennedy Hermsen Kennedy Hermsen 5'7" | CG Monticello | 2026 State IA . Hermsen is someone we haven’t spoken too much about this Winter but she is another CG, that is talented for her size/position. She moves well off of the ball and she is very good at understanding how the spacing on the floor works within her team’s offenses. Hermsen is not afraid of the spotlight. She is used to it at this point so I’m expecting some big things in this battle. If she plays her cards right and takes what the defense gives her, the Panthers are going to come out successful.
