School is winding down and many athletes are playing other sports and have not hit the hardwoods much if at all. Below are several who have hit them hard so catch them when you can.
Lily Boughfman Lily Boughfman 6'1" | PF Little River | 2022 State KS , 6’2″, C, Little River, KS Dream Team 2022 SW – Boughfman drew a lot of eyes at the MAYB Hall of Fame National Showcase. Observing college coaches really liked her strong, solid build and her ability to changes ends well. Liked her competitiveness on both ends of the floor.

, 6’1″, PF, Andover Central, Wheat State Elite 2022 Paul – At the MAYB Hall of Fame National Showcase the Creighton commit showed her athleticism and passing ability off the bounce and her finishing ability. I really liked her quick hands defensively.
Charlotte O’Keefe Charlotte O’Keefe 6'3" | PF St. Thomas Aquinas | 2022 State KS , 6’2″, C, St. Thomas Aquinas, KC Lady Run GMC 2022 UAA – O’Keefe was a second team all-tournament selection at the Prep Girls Hoops Circuit Dynasty Classic in Lawrence. With a long, athletic build she showed substantial versatility and potential. O’Keefe defends on the perimeter well although she was not quite quick enough to defend a couple of the quick, highly skilled bigs she faced off the bounce. She is adept at altering shots without fouling; is a very good mid-range shooter; and, once she gets her three point accuracy honed, she will be a consistent three-level scorer. O’Keefe has handles to clear the ball of rebounds well and occasionally attack off the bounce. I really liked her solid north-south speed and hustle. This was a stock-raising event for her.
Sydney Scott Sydney Scott 6'1" | PF Augusta | 2022 State KS , 6’1″, PF, Augusta, Next Level Eclipse 2022 Stewart – Scott was a 17U all-tournament selection at the Prep Girls Hoops Circuit Dynasty Classic in Lawrence. While she needs to get stronger her posting and boxing out ability is there and she moves well into space.
Aniya Stierlen Aniya Stierlen 6'1" | PF Russell | 2022 State KS , 6’2″, PF, Russell, KS Dream Team SW – At the MAYB Hall of Fame National Showcase one move said a great deal about Stierlen – a drop step left from the left block. She showed quickness, back-to-basket feel, and scoring ability to go with her size and length.
Elizabeth Webb Elizabeth Webb 5'11" | PF Olathe South | 2022 State KS , 5’11”, PF, Olathe South, Kansas Elite 2022 Ebert – Webb was a 17U all-tournament team selection at the Prep Girls Hoops Circuit Dynasty Classic in Lawrence. Despite not getting many interior looks she used her build, length, hands, and vision to post well and show ability from back-to-basket opportunities. She also has good timing on the shot block. A developing talent, she has solid transition speed but I would like to see more consistent hustle and a stronger motor.
Brookelyn Williams Brookelyn Williams 5'10" | SF Wichita Heights | 2022 State KS , 5’10”, PF/SF, Heights, Dynasty 17U, Heights – At the Prep Girls Hoops Battle in the Big Friendly event my PGH Oklahoma colleague Simmie Colson wrote “Williams just falls into that “utility player” profile because she utilizes so many things, I thought of that on the fly however I remember her flying to the rim for baskets on several occasions not to leave out showing she could face the basket and score but not only does she creates her shot well, she sees the floor and I guess watching her play the passing lane sealed it.”
Tiana Winn Tiana Winn 6'0" | SF Wichita East | 2022 State KS , 6’0″, PF/SF, SSA Gameball 17U, Wichita East – Winn had a solid MAYB Hall of Fame National Showcase. She elevated well on rebounds, tracked the ball very well defensively, and defended well inside. Winn can score in the mid-range in with her speed any boost in her motor will create opportunities on both ends simply because she will outrun opposing forwards.
