My current plan, with the new state format, is to camp out in Hutchinson for the Class 4A and 3A State Tournaments, so chances are, I won't see the Jaguars make their annual trip to the state tournament in Salina. Riggs is ranked No. 1 overall in the Kansas Class of 2027. She moved up into the top spot after verbally committing to South Carolina University.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["480408"],"_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-68754a4f5601c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I saw Wilson at multiple events this summer, but I almost always catch at least one Holton Wildcat match each season. Holton is a short drive, and I love a pregame meal at Boomers Steakhouse &amp; Grill. Wilson is ranked No. two overall in the Kansas Class of 2027. She is an elite six-rotation prospect who is just enjoyable to watch play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["434374"],"_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-68754a4f5608b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It might be difficult to catch Behr and the Panthers play this fall, but two of my favorite programs to drive and see are Great Bend and Beloit. Behr is an All-Star setter whom I enjoy watching compete. I know her high school career is starting to close in, so I hope to see her and the Panthers play this fall. To my knowledge, she is still uncommitted and take my word for it, a trip to Great Bend would be worthwhile to college coaches still hunting a '27 setter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["446317"],"_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-68754a4f560d5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Shawnee Heights is a program I usually see play at least once, if not multiple times. Morgan is a fiery athlete I have seen play a bunch over the past two seasons. She is ranked No. 21 overall in the Kansas Class of 2027. She could battle for the top setting position, or Shawnee Heights could use two setters, depending on the roster make-up. Morgan has also been working on her defensive skills for a possible transition to a defensive specialist. She recently participated in a camp at California Baptist.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["483941"],"_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-68754a4f5611a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Perry-Lecompton is a school that's always on my radar to watch, but I have yet to see the KAWS play. I have seen Damme and other Perry players on the club scene, but I hope to catch them in action this fall. Damme is ranked No. 24 overall in the Kansas Class of 2027 and is a powerful hitter with a fluid swing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["512867"],"_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-68754a4f5615a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Last year, I made special effort to watch Thi and her Shawnee Mission North teammates. I scouted their match at Mill Valley and was impressed by Thi's play. I did not see her this past club season as I tend to focus on 15U and 14U teams during the club campaign. Thi is ranked No. 57 overall and is a talented defensive player wanting to play college ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["446319"],"_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-68754a4f561bd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pleasant Ridge is quite a hall, but it's a great little school to watch volleyball at. Bryan is a talent I enjoy watching, and I am all about giving shoutouts to small-town kids. She is ranked No. 58 overall in the Kansas Class of 2027. I saw her play as a freshman, but missed seeing the Rams during her sophomore season. I will look at the Pleasant Ridge schedule closely and maybe find a match that fits into my schedule closer to home.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["659553"],"_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-68754a4f56205"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I could have picked multiple Jefferson West athletes for this list. I usually catch the Tigers at least once a season, usually in Holton. Maybe this season I will make an extra effort to scout a match in Meridan. Jackson is ranked No. 74 overall by Prep Dig Kansas. I chose Jackson to feature, because I would like to scout a match so I can watch her skill set closer than I have before. The Tigers have multiple players ranked in the Top 50, and I saw three of them a lot this summer at camps and on the club scene, including their top setter. In the past, I have tended to focus on that other group and not honed in one her game enough.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["700582"],"_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-68754a4f56248"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Andover Central is a program I have a ton of respect for, but I missed scouting them last year. As much as I would love to travel to the Wichita area every week, it's just not financially viable. I would, however, like to catch a Jaguar match so I can see Dare play in person. So far, I have only seen game clips and followed her stats on MaxPreps. Dare is ranked No. 76 overall by Prep Dig Kansas, and I have a suspicious feeling that she is probably underanked.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

Yesterday, I featured a report on nine members of the Kansas Class of 2026 that I hoped to see play this fall.
