The Wichita MAYB Summer Kickoff's top division included a substantial number of young point guards in addition to a few players marking time until their college playing career picked up. The former pool is the focus of this post. Like other lists I will be sharing, the list below would have been longer had coaches done a better job of including roster information on <a href="https://tourneymachine.com/Home.aspx">Tournament Machine</a> or on game score sheets.
Players are listed in descending order by year and then alphabetically by last name.
<strong>Alexis Crane</strong>, 5'6", PG, 2020, Dream Team - Springfield High School, Colorado. Strong ability to drive and dish. Showed a nice scoop shot after euro stepping around set up defenders in transition.

<strong>Josena Frame</strong>, 5'5", PG, 2020, Twin Lake Stars - Kinsley. Very strong and quick at getting to the basket on the dribble drive.
<strong>Liz Taylor</strong>, PG, 2020, BGCB 17U - Wichita Southeast. Of the several times I have seen <a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2019/04/prospect-focus-2020s-chariah-daniels-and-liz-taylor/">Taylor</a> play since last November this tournament showed growth in her on-the-floor leadership and voice. Her skill set remains a given.
<strong>Abby Harrison</strong>, 5'4", PG, 2021, F.O.E. - Crocker High School, Missouri. Notably handled the ball well against strong half court one-on-one pressure.
<strong>Rayna Jasper</strong>, PG, 2021, Khaos - Anderson County. Good ball handler in the half court against pressure. Split three defenders to finish at speed in transition off the wing.

<strong>Karsyn Schlesener</strong>, 5'6", PG, 2022, Twin Lake Stars - Southeast of Saline. A strong competitor who showed the ability to elevate, score inside, and follow her shot well.
