Chloe Curl Chloe Curl 5'10" | CG Ulysses | 2024 State KS , 5’10”, SF, Ulysses (KS), 2024 – Had the ability to drive bigger players to the basket. Played physical in the post. Curl showed speed, quickness, headiness, and finishing ability in transition.
Maddie Gragg, 5’9″, SG, Seaman (KS), 2026 – Long, athletic guard who can create off the bounce as well as shoot. Was always shot ready on the catch. Serious quick trigger. She will immediately impact at Seaman.
Ellianna Grambling, 5’11”, PF, Grain Valley (MO), 2024 – Grambling is solidly built and looks to box when shots go up. She also set screens away from the ball to free teammates. Solid footwork. On transition plays she often trailed often through no fault of her own. Her teammates working defenders over on the perimeter created many opportunities to run. Would like to see her use those to her advantage, using a burst to flash to the block or down the lane. Defensively she gave adequate space on the perimeter to help on drives and cut off flashes into gaps. Looking forward to seeing her again as she continues to polish her game and ratchet up the aggressiveness.
Hazley Grotjohn, 5’6″, SG, Seneca (MO), 2025 – Ran the point some but primarily stood out as having among the quickest releases of any player. Whether off the catch or from her own pull up off of a couple dribbles, there was little wasted movement. Drilled her share from beyond the arc.
Avery Larson Avery Larson 5'6" | CG Manhattan | 2023 State KS , 5’7″, CG, Manhattan (KS), 2023 – Lefty with the ability to shoot quickly. Did a good job of finishing in traffic. Made some nice passes to set up teammates. Ran the break well and shot well off the catch.
Amani Lipscomb Amani Lipscomb 5'2" | PG Houston | 2024 State TN , 5’2″, PG, Andover (KS), 2024 – Lipscomb just keeps building toward the start of the high school season. She showed elite speed to the basket. She used a nice bag of tricks to set defenders up to run into screens, lean wrong, and otherwise give her a path to the hoop. Lipscomb also showed an ability to loft finishing shots over post players helping out. Her quickness and defensive prowess showed against stronger guards she defended. Did a great job of keeping ball handlers in front of her and otherwise irritating them to turn the ball over.
Grace McCallop Grace McCallop 5'9" | PG Bishop Miege | 2025 State KS , 5’9″, PG/SG, Bishop Miege (KS), 2025 – McCallop showed herself to have an explosive first step and a good playmaker. Athletic with a high basketball IQ she handled the ball well and finished through contact. She is a really good on-ball defender blessed with very quick hands. Often first on the floor after loose balls – usually after she caused them.
Hannah Motsinger Hannah Motsinger 5'10" | SG Bishop Seabury Academy | 2022 State KS , 5’10, F, Bishop Seabury (KS), 2022 – The new-to-me Motsinger has length and athleticism, runs the floor well, and can play inside or out. Definitely an under-the-rader player who deserves attention. Hopefully Bishop Seabury will pull it together and put a team on the floor this season.
Zoey Stec Zoey Stec 5'5" | SG Maur Hill-Mount Academy | 2022 State KS , 5’5″, SG, Maur Hill-Mount Academy (MO), 2022 – Stec showed herself to be a strong player who can shoot as well as defend effectively.
