The Lincoln Southeast Knights were a program that we highlighted at the beginning of the season because of their Senior leadership and the potential run they could string together once the Post-season got under way. Last night the Knights punched their tickets to Lincoln with a 4 point victory over Pius X, 51-47. In this W, the biggest contributor for Southeast was their Center, Nyaluak Dak Nyaluak Dak 6'2" | C Lincoln Southeast | 2024 State NE . Dak has been and will be the source of this teams production until the day she graduates. Against Piux X on Friday night, she ended with another double-double with 14 Points and 17 Rebounds. If you have seen this group compete or know anything about them in the slightest, you understand Dak and her ability on the high school floor. She is un-guardable in one-on-one situations and thats been on full display all season long. I have a feeling she is going to be just as good at the collegiate level with the Illinois Red Birds but we will just have to wait and see.

When I had the chance to see Nyaluak Dak Nyaluak Dak 6'2" | C Lincoln Southeast | 2024 State NE compete this spring my first impression was that she has A LOT of raw talent and I still think that is still the case. Dak stands at around 6’1-2 and is good with her balance and size near the post. She understands to catch with her back to the basket and roll over her shoulder, with the option to score with either hand. Naturally she has the build and mind to become a very good player but it still needs to click a little bit more for my liking. If she can be put in successful positions this winter, I’m expecting some big numbers from Dak. She is too tall and athletic to be kept in check in my opinion.
