Collin Kearney

Collin Kearney has been nothing short of dominant for Valley Falls, emerging as a driving force behind the Dragons’ recent surge during the 2026 season. The senior has put together eye-popping performances throughout Valley Falls’ four-game winning streak, delivering consistently elite production on both ends of the floor.

Kearney’s recent stat lines read like something out of a video game. He poured in 28 points while grabbing 12 rebounds in a statement win over Atchison County, then followed it up with an even bigger night against McLouth, finishing with 29 points and 10 rebounds.

Since returning from the Christmas break, the Dragons have gone a perfect 4–0, and Kearney has been at the center of that success. Over that stretch, he is averaging an impressive 28 points and more than 11 rebounds per game, serving as both the team’s primary scorer and its most reliable rebounder. His efficiency has been equally impressive, as he continues to finish at a high rate around the basket and knock down quality looks.

For the season, Kearney is averaging over 21 points and nine rebounds per game while shooting an outstanding 65% from the field. His combination of size, strength, and touch has made him a difficult matchup for opposing defenses, and his ability to control the glass has helped Valley Falls dictate the pace of games.

After opening the season with a 1–3 record in December, the Dragons have flipped the script, winning five of their last six games and establishing themselves as a contender. Valley Falls is also undefeated in Northeast Kansas League play, with Kearney’s leadership and production playing a major role in that turnaround.
