<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I scouted a United Kansas League match between Leavenworth and Shawnee Heights on September 24.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Multiple Thunderbird prospects have verbally committed to play for college programs and they stepped up in a two-set victory over the Pioneers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is a report on Shawnee Heights prospects and their performance in the league win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='493380' first='Kaydence' last='Torrez']</strong>, 6'1”, MB, Shawnee Heights, ‘25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Torrez is ranked No. 8 overall in the Kansas Class of 2025 and has verbally committed to play for Wichita State University after graduation. Torrez is a physical athlete with a big reach. She finished the match with four kills and two digs. She plays with confidence and does not get flustered on the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='518884' first='Avery' last='Willey']</strong>, 5'7”, OH/DS, Shawnee Heights, ‘26</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Willey is currently ranked No. 21 overall in the class of 2026. She has verbally committed to play for Washburn University. She is a quick athlete who can elevate, but will likely focus on defense at the collegiate level. She posted solid numbers in the Heights' win finishing with a team-high six kills, six digs, and four serve receptions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='489785' first='Reianna' last='Vega']</strong>, 5'11”, MB, Shawnee Heights, ‘26</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Vega is currently ranked No. 128 overall by Prep Dig. She is a multi-sport talent, who has yet to decide which sportto aggressively pursue playing in college. She tallied three kills and one block in the T-Birds victory. I like her impact at the net, as she got several touches above the net against the Pioneers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='553807' first='Brooke' last='McCabe']</strong>, 5'11”, MB/OH, Shawnee Heights, ‘26</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McCabe is currently ranked No. 163 overall in the class of 2026. She is a tall talent who can elevate. She shares playing time with Torrez and Vega. McCabe had three kills for Shawnee Heights in the win. Moving forward I wouldn't mind seeing one of those middles move to an outside spot and utilize their height in the lineup at the same time.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='446317' first='Clara' last='Morgan']</strong>, 5'6”, S, Shawnee Heights, ‘27 (Pictured Above)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Morgan is currently ranked No. 26 overall in the Kanas Class of 2027. Morgan is the second setter on the club right now behind a starting senior. She has a quick release and had solid timing with Vega. The sophomore finished the match with nine assists and four digs. She has a reliable serve and plays with high energy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
