The top scorer in Powell High School girls’ soccer history has made her decision to continue at the collegiate level, as Panther senior Ivy Agee signed her letter of intent on Tuesday, Nov. 11, to continue playing soccer at Black Hills State University in 2026.

“It feels great. I don’t have to worry about waiting for offers and waiting for people to talk to me,” Agee said. “It’s just nice to know that I already have an official place that I’m going to.”

Throughout her three years at PHS, Agee has set the standard for the program, breaking the school record for career goals in her freshman year while continuing to break that single season tally and add to her overall scoresheet. She has recorded seasons of 39, 36 and 43 goals respectively.

While she has served in the midfield role, Agee has also added 24 assists over her first three years, and been named to the All-State team all three years — adding the underclassman of the year award twice in both 2024 and 2025.

As a team the Panthers have shown continued improvement, winning multiple games at state two years in a row and even finishing second at state this past season for the first time in school history.

Moving on to the next level, Agee knows she will once again feature in the midfield but will likely move into a solo attacking midfield role.

“I’ll be playing in midfield. They have a different formation that I’m not really used to. But I’ll probably be an attacking midfielder that goes wherever,” Agee said. “I might get moved around a little bit, but I think that’s the main spot.”

As a Panther, Agee has played in a number of different programs in addition to soccer, also spending time as a varsity basketball player during her sophomore and junior years while being the kicker for the varsity football team the past two seasons.

Agee said those teams have helped her in a number of ways throughout high school.

“They just helped me with stuff like agility and things like that,” Agee said. “Also just getting used to different atmospheres was good too.”

Agee and her family first moved to Powell just before her eighth grade year, as she feels she has made a significant amount of growth moving east after growing up on the West Coast.

“I think just mentally, it’s helped me grow a lot shifting from Oregon to here,” Agee said. “It’s just helped me strengthen some areas that I didn’t think I’d need to really work on. I think it definitely benefited me.”

Throughout her life Agee has been coached primarily by her dad, Danny, who is currently the head coach of the Panther girls’ soccer team and helped introduce the sport to her at a young age while continuing to help her improve at each level — while also having the support of the rest of her family and teammates along the way.

“My dad has definitely helped me because he helped push me my whole life. He’s the one that started soccer for me,” Agee said. “But then all of my siblings and my mom have just been the support that I’ve needed along the way. Then definitely some of my teammates too, supporting me and helping me through things.”

While transitioning to the next level, Agee knows that she will have a different coach at Black Hills, but said she has been coached by other people at different stages of her life. She added it will be a different experience from what she’s had so far and will be sad to not be coached by her dad.

“It’s gonna be sad for sure, but I’ve been coached by multiple other coaches before, and it’ll definitely be a little shift. Because his teaching style is a little bit different, but I did focus on looking for colleges that their coaching style is similar,” Agee said. “But it’ll just be a new experience, and it’ll still be good to have something different.”

Agee was not the only local area player who signed with the Yellow Jackets on national signing day, as she will be joined by Cody's Ellie Talich as well as a former Filly in Ally Boysen, who graduated two years ago but transferred to Black Hills from the University of Wyoming.

“It will be nice, because then I know another person, I love her [Talich] and her family,” Agee said.

Black Hills finished this past season with a 4-9-5 record in NCAA Division II.

Heading into college Agee has already had a jumpstart on her academic career, and wants to focus on continuing in the medical field.

“I definitely want to get my bachelor’s degree, finish all the degrees I need, especially with a full ride. I can get as many classes and all my degrees out of the way, just to get ready for med school and stuff after,” Agee said.

Heading into her senior season on the field next spring, Agee said that she has big goals in mind for herself and as a team.

“I think we just need to keep improving ourselves again, because we’ve improved every single year. Just getting better at all the little things, and definitely finishing with All-State and All-Conference,” Agee said. “I want to get Gatorade Player of the Year, so that’s the main goal. If I don’t get it, that’s OK, but I’ll just work on preparing myself for college basically.”
