She will be suiting up for the Blue Team. I have seen Tindall pay multiple times and she has a nice combination of size and athleticism. She has committed to play for Kansas State University.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='172453' first='Talya' last='Sampson']</strong>, 5'10”, OH, Sedgwick (Iowa Central CC)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sampson is a solid prospect I have seen play quite a bit.

One is Cheney's Bittner who has signed to play for the Pittsburg State Gorillas. I saw Bittner play club ball multiple times in her career and she will not be intimidated by the impressive talent in this match. Bittner is finished ranked No. 48 in the Prep Dig rankings and will suit up for the Blue Team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='119733' first='Seenane' last='Brewer']</strong>, 5'10”, OH, Lawrence (New Mexico)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brewer is the top-ranked player on the Red Squad.

Brown is one of two FHSU committed athletes playing on the Red Squad.&nbsp; Brown is ranked No. 35 overall by Prep Dig and had an excellent career for the Beloit Trojans.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='152836' first='Hope' last='Duncan']</strong>, 5'8”, DS/L, Smoky Valley, (Fort Hays State)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Duncan will be joining Brown on the Hays campus. Duncan had an all-around outstanding career at Smoky Valley and she and Brown got to know each other well from the Class 3A Kansas State Tournament. Duncan can do almost everything on a court but appears set to be a defensive specialist for the Tigers. Duncan finished in the No. 42 slot in the Prep Dig rankings for the Class of 2024.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
