<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After a busy weekend of researching and crunching numbers, I have a buffet line of reports planned for this week,</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is the first of two reports, which will wrap up a series of dual-threat hitters in the Kansas Class of 2027.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Then the attention will shift to the Kansas Class of 2029 as an updated version of the rankings and corresponding reports will be published this week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In case you missed any of the earlier reports on 2027 dual-threat hitters, here are links to those reports.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><a href="https://prepdig.com/2026/01/hanging-and-banging-2027-dual-threat-hitters/">Hanging And Banging</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><a href="https://prepdig.com/2026/01/cream-of-the-crop-2027-dual-threat-hitters/">The Cream Of The Crop</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><a href="https://prepdig.com/2026/01/big-numbers-and-larger-dreams-2027-dual-threat-hitters/?itm_source=parsely-api">Big Numbers And Larger Dreams</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This report features five athletes who finished with at least 200 kills and 200 digs and have complete Prep Dig Profiles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is not an all-inclusive list.

She finished her junior season with 288 kills and 281 digs for the Trojans. She has posted back-to-back seasons with 200-plus kills. She stepped up her defensive role last season, increasing her dig total from 65 during her sophomore season to 200-plus to become a first-time member of the 200/200 club.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["605213"],"_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-696ad2d5c3e6b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tanking had a breakout junior season for the Hayden Wildcats. She increased her kill and dig totals by more than two-fold from her sophomore and junior seasons. She reached 200/200 for the first time, recording 264 kills and 216 digs. She also set a new season high for aces last season with 26. Tanking is ranked No. 24 overall in the Kansas Class of 2027. She and Hayden have qualified for the state tournament for two consecutive years. Tanking has one more chance to bring home state championship hardware when she enters his senior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["550572"],"_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-696ad2d5c3eb6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wilhite and the next two athletes in this report surprised me with their impressive junior seasons. I did not expect to see them this high on the state leaderboard. Wilhite collected 250 kills and 223 digs for Gardner-Edgerton last fall. I did not see the Trailblazers play last season, but a close look at Wilhite's numbers shows that she can make a solid argument for being ranked too low by Prep Dig Kansas. In three seasons with the Trailblazers, she has recorded career numbers of 816 kills, 813 digs, and 1,126 serve receptions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["782502"],"_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-696bb2ff96adb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">If Curry played in Kansas City or Wichita, she would be a household name. The Iola prospect registered a career-high 242 kills last season for the Mustangs, to go along with 326 digs. It was by far Curry's most productive hitting season. She has a career total of 577 career digs and could make a run at the 1,000-career dig benchmark this coming fall. Curry is ranked No. 190 overall in the Kansas Class of 2027.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["564378"],"_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-696bb2ff96b6c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Shrout's membership in the 200/200 Club is on a biannual contract. She finished her junior season with 229 kills and 321 digs in 91 sets played. As a sophomore, she tallied 232 kills and 262 digs. She has also posted back-to-back seasons with 200-plus serve receptions, and last season recorded a career-high 70 aces. She plays for the Wichita Warriors, a homeschool team. Shrout is ranked No. 95 overall by Prep Dig Kansas.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
