The three new additions to the K-State roster for the 2015-16 season are guards Kayla Goth and Anna Hammaker, and center Cheyenne Hooper. Hammaker and Hooper are joining the Wildcats after teaming up at Christian Academy of Knoxville, Tennessee.

“We were wanted to add length and versatility in this class,” said Mittie about his new additions for next season. “We were able to sign three players that add that capability with the skill level that we need in the Big 12.”

Goth, a 6-foot guard from DeForest, Wisconsin, enters her senior season at DeForest High with career totals of 1,007 points, 560 rebounds, and 285 assists.

Hammaker is a 5’9 guard, and the daughter of former Kansas City Royals pitcher Atlee Hammaker. She helped lead Christian Academy to the Class AA state sections with averages of 18.3 points, 5.1 steals, and 4.9 assists.

Hooper is a 6’6 center from Knoxville, Tennesse, who will be tied as the tallest player in program history with former K-State letter winner Olga Firsova ( 1998-00 ). She is returning to basketball for her senior season after a year away from the sport to focus on volleyball.

Prior to her departure from basketball, Hooper helped Christian Academy to a 24-8 record in her sophomore season and District, regional, and sectional titles.
