On Thursday, KSHSAA announced the remaining state tournament games would not be played. Here, Prep Girls Hoops takes a look at several players who raised their profile at the event.
Natasha Dooley Natasha Dooley 5'11" | CG Garden Plain | 2020 State KS , 5’11, F, 2020, Garden Plain
Dooley is a forward presence for Garden Plain who can rebound and score inside. She looks to protect the basket in the paint and moves well and gets back on defense. She finished the game with eight points and six rebounds and was active on both ends of the floor.
Elizabeth Frost, 5’8, G/F, 2020, Trego
Frost is another player for Trego who plays a lot inside but can also play some outside as well. She hustles and can score in transition, around the basket and also from range at times. She was impactful in the first half offensively for Trego and helped push them over the top in their win over Bennington.
Lauren Torrance, 5’10, G/F, 2023, St Mary’s-Colgan
The second leading scorer for St Mary’s-Colgan and another stock riser long term. Torrance has a nice feel for the floor and can hit shots from the free throw line, from distance at times and around the glass. She finished with nine points.
Madison Walt Madison Walt 5'9" | CG Trego | 2022 State KS , 5’10, G/F, 2022, Trego
Walt can play some inside and has the ability to find a mis-match and exploit it. She can score in bunches at times but is unselfish and looks to make extra passes and keep the play moving. A younger player who can defend as well.
Madysen Zoglman, 5’8, G/F, 2021, Garden Plain
a nice inside-outside player who can defend taller opponents inside and stretch the floor with her outside shooting.She led the team in 3-pointers with three and finished the game with 12 points. She also had five rebounds and was aggressive and physical as a defender.
