Mid-Prairie graduated plenty of production from last year’s team that reached the state tournament for the second season in a row. The Golden Hawks are reloading with a solid group of returnees, student-athletes increasing their roles from 2025 and young players hitting the ground running. Flynn fits nicely into the latter category. The eighth-grader had 18.0 kills, 14.0 blocks and 17 digs early in her first high school season. She’s competing against top competition and holding her own. Already 5-foot-9, Flynn stands up physically with plenty of room to grow. She should receive the coaching needed to maximize her natural gifts.
