Robert’s 2027 Pre-Season 4A All-State Picks

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Graduations have opened the door for rising talents to make their way into top 4A classification all-state teams. Just shy of half of KBCA's and KSHSAA's first through third team all-state selections have moved on with many having taken their game to college programs. Nine of Sports In Kansas' first and second teams were seniors as well. Several returners were among the primary drivers of teams favored to return to the state tournament. Below are my top pre-season all-state picks. My picks are spread out by position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1319158"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6af49fa227ecb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The two-time North Central Kansas League first team selection was also a unanimous 4A first team pick by KBCA, KSHSAA and Sports In Kansas following the 2026 season and there is no reason to think any of that will change. At a major Wichita event she was playing in this past summer her play attracted substantial interest. By day 2 coaches from nearly 2 dozen NCAA D II, NAIA and Juco were courtside watching her. Rock Creek is a favorite to run deep in the 4A state tournament again as she leads a team that had no senior starters a year ago.

With the Stags' top two scorers graduated I anticipate her 2026 8.3 points per game scoring average to be left in the dust. Likely to spend time running the point this season the Stags are shooting to retake the state 4A title after falling short since her freshman year. Long among the top shooting guards in the state the perennial all-Eastern Kansas League selection she also picked up honorable mention honors from KSHSAA and Sports In Kansas.

The two-time first team Centennial League honoree was also a unanimous first team selection by KBCA, KSHSAA and Sports In Kansas. She was among SIK's defensive player of the year picks as well. Schmidtlein averaged 18 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.3 steals in 2026. Returning a substantial number of players in the rotation and some young talent stepping into spots opened by graduation the team has a legitimate shot to repeat.

A second team Frontier League and two-time KSHSAA and Sports In Kansas honorable mention selection I believe her game will finally gain wider appreciation. Fast, athletic, terrific hops and quick she also brings serious strength to the position. This spring she will return as the two-time defending state discuss champion.

She is a multi-event gold medalist in track and field. Her accomplishments include winning four events at the 2026 state meet. And while the Crusaders will miss all-state post Lyndi Barton and shooter Cruz Cornejo Zeka and Wellington are my favorite to march their way to a state 4A title, something claimed at the end of the 2024 season. An all-Ark Valley-Chisholm Trail League Division I selection she also was named to various all-state teams by Sports In Kansas (1st), KSHSAA (2nd) and KBCA (3rd). Zeka averaged 11.5 points, 3 assists, and 2.5 steals per game. Included as a combo guard Zeka can also be found playing at the power forward spot, making her a very difficult matchup.
