She eats, drinks, and sleeps volleyball. As much as I respect multisport athletes, I also respect athletes who figure out what path they want to take early and do everything they can to stay on that path. Behr finished her sophomore season with 829 assists and 211 kills. She has the skills to set at the collegiate level but can also hit hard enough and jump high enough to be a hitter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["483894"],"_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-680a666c0d110"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Simic is ranked No. 9 overall in the Kansas Class of 2027 and is one of the top hitters in the state. She has a smooth approach and hits with accuracy. She is tough to block and can also tip when needed. As a sophomore, she produced 729 kills and recorded 42 blocks. Her dangerous serve accounted for 164 aces for Hoisington last season. Hoisington finished third in the Class 3A State Tournament and will be a favorite to return to the tournament in Hutchinson in 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["524699"],"_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-680a666c0d191"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fehringer is a multi-sport prospect who could move on to college to play any one of three sports. She is currently ranked No. 45 by Prep Dig. She is also ranked No. 39 overall in the Kansas Class of 2027 by Prep Girls Hoops Kansas. She finished her sophomore season with 87 kills and 55 digs in 51 sets played. She also averaged 8.7 points and 7.6 rebounds per contest for Stanton County's basketball team. In 14 games this spring, she has collected 29 hits, 20 RBI, and six home runs on the softball diamond.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["483944"],"_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-680a666c0d20a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jacobs is a gritty libero for the Eagles. She is ranked No. 66 overall in the Kansas Class of 2027. She finished her sophomore season with a total of 343 digs in 102 sets played. She already has 647 total digs in two high school seasons and could easily make a run at a total of 2,000 before her high school career is over. Jacobs also had a nice season on the basketball court. In my opinion, volleyball is the sport that she has more upside in and a chance to get a college scholarship to play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
