<p>Before the Prep Network booth got slammed during the second day of the KSHSAA Coaching School in Salina, KS, I took the time to go back over my notes from the Missouri/Kansas Stock Up Showcase.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I wanted to provide a quick hit on some of the participating talent not featured in Saturday or Sunday reports.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>With 120 participants I only saw a limited action by a few athletes and missed some completely. For that, I apologize, but I only have two eyes and can only be on one court at a time.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Here is a look at Kanas talent from the classes of 2025 and 2026 who attended the showcase.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='492576' first='Chanya' last='Kitchaiya'], </strong>5'5”, DS/L, Blue Valley Northwest, ‘25</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>She is currently ranked No. 91 overall in the class of 2025 and the eighth-ranked libero by Prep Dig. Kitchaiya plays club ball for [program_tooltip program_id='430200' first='KC' last='Power']. She communicated well during the defensive drills at the camp.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='515585' first='Malasy' last='Sakounlaphoum'], </strong>5'4”, DS/L, Olathe East, ‘25</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Sakounlaphpim is currently ranked No. 121 overall in the class of 2025. She plays club ball with [program_tooltip program_id='430200' first='KC' last='Power']. She was not intimidated by the competitive showcase.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='571405' first='Olivia' last='Nzioki']</strong>, 6'0”, MB, Mill Valley, ‘26 (Pictured Above)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Nzioki is an unranked talent who can jump with the best of them. Her skills are still fairly raw, and she could be stuck behind some elite talent at Mill Valley.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='349931' first='Addi' last='Bloor']</strong>, 5'9”, OH, Blue Valley West, ‘26</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Bloor is currently ranked No. 72 overall and has the No. 13-ranked setter among her Kansas Class of 2026 peers. I did not catch her while she was setting during the showcase, but she looked quick during the defensive drills she was in.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='355660' first='Alyssa' last='Gray']</strong>, 5'9”, OH, Olathe Northwest, ‘26</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Gray is ranked No. 49 overall by Prep Dig Kansas. The outside hitter played junior varsity ball last season for Northwest, but will be looking to compete for a spot on the varsity squad this fall.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='583914' first='Ciara' last='Gray']</strong>, 5'8”, OH, Olathe East, ‘26</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Gray is ranked No. 49 overall by Prep Dig Kansas. The outside hitter won't have to travel far to compete in the Showcase. She is one of many athletes from the Metro Area registered for this Prep Dig Live Event.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Allison Kuebelbeck</strong>, 5'11”, RS, St. James Academy, ‘26</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Kubelbeck hits the ball hard and will compete for time at St. James Academy this fall.</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 made the trek to KCK from Wichita. Her skills were not quite as refined as the other defensive specialists at the showcase, but she hustled every time I saw her on the court and came ready to compete.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='496499' first='Ashley' last='Scott']</strong>, 5'8”, DS/L, De Soto, ‘26</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Scott is a spunky libero currently ranked No. 95 overall by Prep Dig. She had a smooth swing when I saw her attack and quick feet when digging balls.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='586622' first='Rowan' last='Sokoloski']</strong>, 5'9”, DS/L, Olathe East, ‘26</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Sokoloski played with good court discipline and seemed to thrive among the elite talent at the showcase.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
