In this article, I am covering the 2026 and 2027 players that stood out at the MWC Lady Cat Invitational. Keep reading to learn more about these up-and-coming players.

Mi’Raiyh Wilson | Forward | 2027

As the season advances, Mi’Raiyh’s size and athleticism will play a more significant role. Key factors for Conway’s success will include her rebounding, athleticism, and ability to apply pressure at the top of the 1-3-1 zone.

Kim Henry | Post | Vilonia | 2027

An adaptable post/forward with a skill set that brings value to the Vilonia team. Strong rebounding, defensive capabilities, and an effective interior presence provide much-needed depth in the frontcourt for Vilonia. Only a freshman, her role will play a huge part in Vilonia’s success.

Brianna Burnham | Guard | Vilonia | 2027

Similar to her twin, Brooklyn, Brianna delivered an impressive performance at the Lady Cat Invitational. As a fearless player, she remains a valuable asset to the team. Her role could be different from game to game, but I don’t think it’s anything she can’t handle.

Brooklyn Burnham | Guard | Vilonia | 2027

She truly grabbed attention with her performance at the Lady Cat Invitational, showcasing not only her skills but also her high basketball IQ and considerable potential. She wasn’t afraid of any moment during the tournament. She showed she could shoot the 3 or get to the rim.

Madisen Campbell | Guard | Springdale Har-Ber | 2027

Madisen brings great energy to the team. Works hard to be a strong on-ball defender and reads passing lanes effectively. She displayed glimpses of her potential with her play on both ends of the floor.

Maddie Mannion | Wing | Vilonia | 2026

Maddie is one of the top players in the class of 2026. She possesses good size standing around 5’10, has good 3-point shooting skills, a high basketball IQ, and adds a touch of toughness to the team. With her skill set and experience from last year, she will be even more of a force on the court.

Kirsten Johnson | Wing | Parkview | 2026

Kirsten has promising potential on the perimeter. She’s capable of three-point shooting and driving to the rim. I’d like to see her be assertive on the offensive end with her size and ability to get to the rim she can make plays for others or finish. She also possesses the length to defend various positions.

Kristyn Cooper | Point Guard | Parkview | 2026

Kristyn gives her all on the court. Regardless of her matchup, she always brings her A-game. She loves to get out in the open court and make plays. She can deliver on target passes or finish the play herself. She’s relentless. You can knock her down and she’ll get back up and keep fighting.

Saniyah Cook | Wing | Lake Hamilton | 2026

Saniyah’s a versatile wing with promising potential. Excels in rebounding, showcases ball-handling skills in the open court, and can score when the team needs it. Her length and foot speed allows her to defend multiple positions.
