Previewing the 2027s, Wichita I-35 Showcase

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Younger players in the area are looking to make a splash on the Wichita area high school scene. Among those are the 2027 class members below. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='779938' first='Emmarie' last='Barger']</strong>, PG/SG, Eisenhower, 2027 - This will be my first time watching Barger but a look at some game highlights from December 2022 shows her to be a multiple threat with the ability to create off the bounce from the point, shoot the rock in the mid-range and beyond the arc, and finish with athleticism. She ran this summer with Kansas Bluejays and is likely to have a strong shot at playing at the varsity level, especially as a floater, during her freshman campaign.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='779221' first='Makynlee' last='Jensen']</strong>, 6'0", C. Maize, 2027 - Jensen has played a high school season plus full of games this summer with Kansas Bluejays and promises to be an impact player for the program. She has great overall size and transitioning ability that will enable her to get to spots before defenders do, using her strength and athletic ability to score in a variety of ways. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":763168,"width":113,"height":115,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/09/Aubrey-Lohman-2027-Wichita-Northwest.jpg?w=425" alt="" class="wp-image-763168" style="width:113px;height:115px" width="113" height="115" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Wichita Northwest 2027 Aubrey Lohman.

With the seasoning she received playing for Kansas United this past summer I expect this to be a opportunity for her to size up opponents she will see this coming season at the sub-varsity level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
