However, Lynnes cracked the starting lineup for the Broncos and grabbed the opportunity by the reins. She posted impressive numbers during her freshman season, including 421 digs, 568 serve receptions, and 137 assists. She is ranked No. 14 overall by Prep Dig Kansas and is the top-ranked libero in the Kansas Class of 2028.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["518358"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-680bcd5d3a371"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Andrews jumped into an early leadership role for the Lansing Lions as a freshman. She posted solid numbers for a team that graduated multiple college prospects before the 2024 season. That opened a door for Andrews, and she ran through like an NFL first-round pick last night in Green Bay. Andrews collected 724 assists, 233 digs, and 27 kills for the Lions last fall. She is ranked No. 26 overall by Prep Dig Kansas.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["534823"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-680bcd5d3a3c1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Duson only played 42 varsity sets for the Mustangs as a freshman, but has had an excellent club season with [program_tooltip program_id='430200' first='KC' last='Power']. She finished her freshman campaign with 22 kills, 24 digs, and seven blocks. She is quick, athletic, can elevate, and will be a sophomore to watch come August. She is ranked No. 32 overall in the Kansas Class of 2028.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["567485"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-680bcd5d3a409"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Holton Wildcats are a talented squad that should be fun to watch next season. Black played valuable sets for the Wildcats, recording 196 kills, 117 digs, and 298 serve receptions. She has several quality upperclassmen to mentor her, and I expect her to become a key floor leader before her prep career is completed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
