Buss plays for Shockwave 18-1. She is ranked No. 59 overall in the Kansas Class of 2026 and, to my knowledge, remains uncommitted. Buss finished her senior season with Wichita East, tallying 279 kills and 207 digs. She recorded back-to-back seasons as a member of the 200/200 Club. She used to play for the Air Capital Aces , but is suiting up in the gold and black this winter.

Buss is posting impressive numbers for the Blue Aces. She has collected 158 kills, 141 digs, and 155 serve receptions in 38 sets played. She has a legit shot at reaching 1,000 career kills and digs with a big October. She is ranked No. 59 overall by Prep Dig Kansas.

Buss stood out as one of the more effective scorers in the gym during the showcase. When she gets going, she’s hard to slow down. She’s primed for a big senior season that should see her climb over the 1,000 kill mark. I note her touches as a blocker were also key to slowing down the attack of the opponent and allowing the rally to continue.

The Wichita native, Buss, will travel up I-35 to put her skills on display. The 5″10-pin has also proven to be an effective defensive player. She had 284 kills in her junior season, and with a big senior year, can surpass the 1,000 kill plateau. She has a lively arm and had a strong spring with her Kansas Networks team.

Wichita East was one of the few Wichita teams I did not get to see play last fall. Buss is coming off a successful club season and will be looking to gain traction in her recruitment as a senior. She finished her junior season with 284 kills and 207 digs. She could make a run at reaching the 1,000 career benchmark in both of those categories. She is a six-rotation prospect with a sweet swing. She is currently ranked No. 50 overall in the Kansas Class of 2026.
