Athletes have until July 31 to register for the event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is the link to register for the showcase: <a href="https://events.prepdig.com/e/1134/register/missourikansas-stock-up-showcase">https://events.prepdig.com/e/1134/register/missourikansas-stock-up-showcase</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I plan on scouting at the event and want to feature a handful of Kansas-ranked athletes who are among those registered. This is the second of multiple reports previewing the event. I plan to feature attendees each Saturday until the Showcase, or until I run out of players to feature.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Athletes can use the Coupon Code DeckardDig2024 to save $10.00 off their registration.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='173382' first='Ashlee' last='Chavez']</strong>, 5'9”, RS,&nbsp; St. James Academy, ‘25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Chavez is proof that a solid work ethic and social media promotion pay off. She is registered for the event despite already having multiple college offers. She never stops attending events that can help her get noticed. She is a powerful hitter and a great teammate. She is currently ranked No. 49 in the state but is keeping her offers close to her chest and a secret.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='489763' first='Reese' last='Johnson']</strong>, 5'7”, DS/L, Wichita Northwest, ‘26</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson is making the trek to Kansas City, Kansas, from Wichita. She finished with 348 digs during her sophomore season. Johnson is currently ranked No. 82 overall in the class of 2026 and hopes to parlay a strong showing in KCK into a rise up the rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='446313' first='Benya' last='Kitchaiya']</strong>, 5'8”, DS/L, Blue Valley Northwest, ‘27</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kitchaiya is a prospect I look forward to seeing in the Showcase. She is currently ranked No. 56 overall in the class of 2027. She and her older sister will represent Blue Valley Northwest looking to improve their stock in the rankings. Kitchaiya and the rest of the class of 2027 should stay tuned to Prep Dig as rankings for that group will be published next week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='446323' first='Parker' last='Unruh']</strong>, 5'1”, DS/L, Hays, ‘27</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I watched Unruh play for her prep team yesterday at the MO/KAN Top 10 Tournament at Washburn University. She is a bouncy defensive specialist who will share time on the back row this season for the Indians. She had three digs and five serve receptions in a match against McPherson. Committing to the Showcase and traveling over 500 miles roundtrip to participate shows her dedication to the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='518977' first='Landry' last='Litton']</strong>, 6'0”, S, Beloit, ‘28</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Litton will be traveling more than 400 miles (round trip) to participate in the Stock Up Showcase. I have seen Litton play on two occasions this summer, once in Abilene and yesterday in Topeka. She is a highly skilled athlete with excellent fundamentals for a freshman. She finished with four digs, three serve receptions, and one kill in a match against Spring Hill at Washburn. She is currently ranked No. 9 overall in the class of 2028 but could move up when the rankings are updated the last week in July.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
