+5 In putting together this 2029 rankings update my mind wandered back to a Breakdown Fall League game prior to the 2025-26 high school season. Lyla was completely dominant that day, well beyond what you’d expect from an incoming 9^th grader. Here we are nearly six months later and Behnke is coming off a season in which she dominated the boards and grew her game in every aspect. Upping her production by half, she averaged 9 points and 9 rebounds per game, topping 250 boards for the season. Behnke was 2^nd in steals and blocks, 4^th in assists. The 6-footer has the build for college basketball and the drive to be great. She earned a 5-place bump to #43.

Behnke, a 6-foot forward, has the build, poise, and polish to be a strong performer at the next level. She averaged 6.7 points and 6 rebounds last season and continues to grow into a reliable two-way contributor. Smart and fundamentally sound, Behnke boxes out on every possession, runs the floor hard, and finishes efficiently inside. Behnke’s improved three-point shooting adds range to her game, and her motor never seems to stop. A strong rebounder and steady defender, she’s a coach’s dream – dependable, tough, and detail-oriented. Expect her impact to expand significantly for Spring Lake Park this winter.
