St. Pius X (KC)
Welcome to Missouri Class 3, St. Pius. A top program in Missouri Class 2, St. Pius X surely won't miss a beat in a higher division with more competition. St. Pius X is well rounded with their top tier backline lead by Top 2025 Senior and D1 Commit Kendra Roberts along with 2025 senior defender Emily Bryant, 2026 defender Frannie Hess and Caroline McCoy. Top 2028 freshman defender Holly Roberts will also have an opportunity to play a big role for her team this year. Strength can be found in the midfield with two Top 2026 Junior players Grayson Vacanti and D1 commit Kate Sell with their balance of composure on the ball and drive to score will be unrelenting to backlines in the metro.

Kearney
With two top NAIA program commits in their 2025 Senior Class, goalkeeper Alaina Lehman and midfielder Taylor Klein are looking to leave a legacy for Kearney along with fellow Seniors Keanna Baxter and Kylee Smith. Tenacious, quick, and strong 2026 Junior D2 committed midfielder/forward Addison Fischer is a threat in the middle along with fellow 2026 Junior forward Josie Sparks who isn't afraid to go into a tackle or take a shot. Kearney's class of 2026 Juniors are fantastic also including defenders Charlie Dollar & Tatum Gregory and midfielder Lily Rinehart. If Kearney can organize their talent, they could be a problem in Class 3 this year.

Pembroke Hill
Pembroke Hill is aiming to take up space this season. 2025 Seniors Sarah Stockman and Eleanor Rasmus will lead the team from the attack and have Top 2026 Junior defender Colbie Hyde and goalkeeper Tyler Prichett have their backs. We anticipate multiple shutouts for this team this season.

Platte County
Platte County had a year of growth last year finding their groove. This year has already shown that the Pirates are on their way. With Top 2025 Senior Forward and D1 Commit Lily Kytasaari at the helm, we anticipate much of their attack and success will go through her fast feet and strong drives through backlines.
