Stevens Point's Kennedy Konkol brings 'fresh energy' to SPASH hoops

STEVENS POINT – A 17-point-per-game freshman season gave Kennedy Konkol a strong start to her high school basketball career and Division 1 aspirations. Her next chapter begins at Stevens Point, where she's looking to grow alongside a new group of standout teammates in University of Iowa commit Jada Seubert and rising Leah Awe, under former WNBA No. 1 pick, SPASH coach Janel McCarville. Konkol, a 2025 first team all-conference selection in the Wisconsin Valley Conference, said while she will miss Wisconsin Rapids Lincoln and her teammates, that was the entire point of the move. As the season inches closer to its inception, Konkol feels she is adjusting well to the switch and seeing how her goals both big and small lie ahead. “I was very nervous at first, to be honest, but now that I've kind of been here for a little bit and made some friends and had open gyms, it's been a lot better,” Konkol said. “I feel pretty good. I really like how the atmosphere is and the players that I'm with. I feel like it's very energetic and welcoming. I feel like I can push myself.” Amherst embraces challenge Vs Redbirds: Amherst football embraces challenge vs

Amherst football embraces challenge vs Darlington: 'We're not surprised'

AMHERST – Amherst has spent the 2026 season knocking off all challengers in its unbeaten campaign and building toward this moment. But to keep its undefeated run alive, the Falcons will have to solve a Darlington team that hasn't lost in 26 games and brings one of the state's most explosive offenses into Friday's Level 3 playoff matchup. The mission is complicatedly simple. “We've got to somehow slow them down. That's the biggest thing,” Amherst coach Mark Lusic said. “They have a very explosive offense. I mean, I don't think they've been challenged all year. I don't know, probably for the last two years to be honest with you. "We're going to have to slow down their option. That's the biggest thing. If you don't slow that down, it's going to be a long night. That means they can do anything they want. It's about 50% of their offense. So, try to slow that down, and then go from there." Lusic knows the Level 4 matchup between the Falcons and the Redbirds will be decided up front at the line of scrimmage. He expects a physical Redbird defensive line, and has preached their need to match it. “They want to
