What a ride!
As rewarding of a season as I have been part of…This team showed us how to embrace every challenge, grow together thru adversity and own the moment in front of them.
The game ends, but the lessons last a lifetime. #GoLake

2026 Sports in Kansas 3A Girls🏀 Player of the Year: Kailyn Hanni, Silver Lake
Kailyn Hanni, also on the Top 5 all classes, capped off an incredible career leading Silver Lake to another state title, finishing as one of the most complete players in Kansas.
The 5’7 senior averaged 18.4 points, 7.5 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 3.5 steals per game, impacting every part of the game while leading her team to a 100-7 record over her career with two state titles under Kyle Porter, the 2024 SIK all classes coach of the year.
“We set a goal from the beginning of the season and worked hard and pushed each other all season to achieve it,” Hanni said. “This team played hard together each and every day and had joy through the whole process.”
“She did a little of everything and has been overly consistent in every sport. The support from the coaches we talk to in 3A was overwhelming for her this season. ,” said Chet Kuplen of Sports in Kansas. “She’s quietly one of the state’s best multi-sport athletes, 3-sport all-state in golf, basketball, softball and the ultimate competitor.”
Committed to Fort Hays State, Hanni leaves behind one of the most decorated and impactful careers in Silver Lake history.

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom. —Viktor Frankl
People like David Goggins out here saying you have to be angry all the time to be great. Meanwhile, Steph Curry is in year 17 of slaying the NBA with a giant smile on his face. Intensity and joy can coexist. People who say otherwise don't know what they're talking about.
Silver Lake now has 2 @noahbasketball Shooting Systems with the ability to track player shots, provide real-time feedback on shot arc, depth and L/R.
This is an incredible tool for our basketball programs, made possible by Bob Schwarz Financial.
