Zaili Benish | Leyton High School | Fr | SG| 5’4″ | 21.7pts
Zaili is an energetic guard who hustles around the court to make plays. She has a ton of confidence and is not afraid to take shots averaging, just under 20 attempts game, 9 of those 3 pointers. Even with the quick trigger she still shoots 42% from the field overall. She has good defensive hands, averaging over 5 steals a game which allows her to get out quick in transition. Her hustle and determination will have her piling up the points over the next few years!

Myleigh Weers | Diller-Odell High School | Fr | PG | 5’8 | 21.5pts
Myleigh is a scrappy point guard, she is always pressuring and creating turnovers on defense leading to transition baskets. Weeks has a quick release and does a fantastic job sliding to open spots on the floor for open shots. She is very capable to shoot from long range but her offense really generates from steals, averaging 3.5 a game, then penetrating to the basket. Only a freshman, she will be wreaking havoc in her area for a while!

Ruthie Loomis-Goltl | Bridgeport High School | Jr | C,PF | 6’3″ | 20.3pts
Ruthie is already known is most girls basketball circles. She is an excellent post player and solid rim protector, averaging over 3 blocks per game. It almost a guaranteed bucket when Ruthie touches the ball, shooting 67% from the field. She has all the intangibles to play at the next level, including leadership, and already has intrest from colleges like Kansas State, Oklahoma State, Colorado State and Iowa. One of the best players in state, without question!

Kailee Potts | Perkins County High School | So | G | 5’7″ | 19.9pts
Kailee has a moxy and hustle on the court that creates opportunities. She attempts around 23 shots per game from her active hands, 3.7 steals per game, and her ability to rebound as well, averaging 5.4 rebounds per game. She can shoot with range but is more successful when she is creating turnovers and driving to the basket. Potts can definitely remain in the top scorers with continued work on her game. She could potentially lead the state with continued work on her jump shooting!

Josilyn Miller Niobrara/Verdigre High School | So | PG | 5’5″ | 19.8pts
There is a common theme for all the guards on this list, active defensive hands and fast break points. Josilyn is no exception to the theme. Josilyn thrives when creating turnovers and uses her quickness to get out in transition. She can pull up from deep but only makes just over 4 3-point attempts per game. She lives in the lanes and is ready for a fast break on any play!
