Taylor Stanley Taylor Stanley 6'1" | OH Blue Valley Southwest | 2026 State KS – 2026 – Blue Valley Southwest
Stanley had a good debut season for Blue Valley Southwest in 2022. With a year of varsity ball under her belt look for her to build on the 159 kills and 45 digs.
Brea Martin Brea Martin 5'6" | OH Bishop Carroll | 2026 State KS – 2026 – Bishop Carroll
The Wichita native wasn’t too shabby in her first high school season. Most freshmen take a little time to get accustomed to things so we should see Martin getting over the one-hundred-kill plateau this year after getting 97 last fall.
Leah Robinson Leah Robinson 6'0" | OH St. James | 2026 State KS – 2026 – St. Jame’s Academy
You have to exhibit some potential to crack the lineup as a freshman at St. Jame’s. Robinson did just that, playing in 64 sets and getting 86 kills on the year.
Grace Martin Grace Martin 5'11" | OH St. Thomas Aquinas | 2026 State KS – 2026 – St. Thomas Aquinas
Martin did her part in helping the Saints grab a state title a year ago. As a freshman, She saw the court in 78 sets and had 75 kills. Look for more from her in the sophomore season.
Emerson Wedel – 2025 – Goddard
Wedel was just shy of the 200 kill mark as a sophomore and you should expect her to carry even more of the load as a junior.
Sadie Rethman Sadie Rethman 5'8" | OH Emporia | 2025 State KS – 2025 – Emporia
Emporia had some good young talent last year and heading into a new season, expect those players to elevate their game even more. One of those players is the rising junior Rethman, who had 180 kills and 168 digs.
Teagan Canady Teagan Canady 5'10" | OH Valley Center | 2025 State KS – 2025 – Valley Center
The Valley Center junoir to be, Canady showed she can be a weapon on the pin in southern Kansas this fall. Her numbers of 170 kills in 81 sets shows the potential is there for a big 2023
Carly Hutfles Carly Hutfles 5'10" | OH Horton | 2025 State KS – 2025 – Great Bend
We go out West to find Feist, who showed she can do damage on both pins in her sophomore season. She averaged right at 2 kills per set.
