WMIX Sports is proud to introduce our first-ever Tony Wielt State Farm Showcase Impact Players, recognizing top performers from The Showcase — our WMIX Sports Basketball Showcase coverage of Waltonville, Wayne City, Webber, Woodlawn, and Sesser-Valier.

This week’s inaugural honorees are Sophomore Rylie Hockett and Junior Andrea Kibler of the Woodlawn Lady Cardinals, who were each named to the All-Tournament Team at the Du Quoin Tournament after standout performances throughout the week.

Hockett and Kibler opened Showcase coverage in impressive fashion, leading Woodlawn to a 50–44 victory over Sesser-Valier/Waltonville in our season’s first broadcast. Kibler stuffed the stat sheet with 16 points and 6 steals, while Hockett added 12 points and 5 rebounds, setting the tone for a strong tournament run.

Despite battling injuries to starters Ashtyn Griffin (2025 MTC All-Tournament) and Sophia Skinner (reigning MTC Tournament MVP), the duo stepped up in a major way to push the Lady Cardinals to a third-place finish.

Across the four-game tournament:

• Andrea Kibler: 46 points, 14 steals

• Rylie Hockett: 66 points, 14 rebounds, 10 assists

Tournament Results

• Woodlawn 50, Sesser-Valier/Waltonville 44

• Woodlawn 81, Cairo 24

• Pinckneyville 43, Woodlawn 35

• Woodlawn 58, Christopher 40 (3rd Place Game)

Congratulations to Rylie Hockett and Andrea Kibler, our very first Tony Wielt State Farm Showcase Impact Players from WMIX Sports!
