Brichacek did a little bit of everything for the state champions last year. She’ll be called to do much of the same this year. At 5-9, she has a physical game that can go inside, but can also move outside if teams choose to guard her with a bigger player. She scored 20 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in the Jaguars state title game win over Bloomfield last March. Brichacek is part of a talented senior group that has challenged themselves this summer as they look for a repeat state title while trying to survive the ultra-competitive East Husker Conference. Brichacek averaged 14.7 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists during her junior season.

Another 2027 who is likely to move into our top-50, Brichacek proved she can play inside and outside at 5-9 which is a nightmare for opposing defenses at the Class D-1 level. Brichacek is certainly a player who plays in the GPAC if she so desires. In the Jaguars 45-42 win over the Bloomfield in the state finals she scored 20 points and grabbled 11 rebounds. For the tournament, she scored 12.0 points and 9.1 rebounds per game.

Kylie Brichacek Kylie Brichacek 5'9" | CG Howells-Dodge | 2027 State NE was a constant producer last season for Howells-Dodge High School last Winter and she is looking to build on that moving forward. Brichacek, a 5’9 CG, was not only the second best scoring option on her team, she was also the team’s top rebounder and defender as a guard. This is a group that made the State Tournament for their Class going 17-10 overall. If they want to try to make it back, it’s going to take more production out of players like Brichacek and company. They will return multiple starters from year’s past so the foundation should be set in place, they just need to try to build off of that over the next six months.

Kylie Brichacek Kylie Brichacek 5'9" | CG Howells-Dodge | 2027 State NE of Howells-Dodge High School is a multi-sport athlete, that is going to be a main focal point in her team’s system over the next two years. Brichacek comes into her Junior season as a 5’9 CG with some noteworthy versatility. Last season she ended up averaging 9 PPG, 5 RPG, and 2 APG, giving her one of the better overall stat-lines compared to everyone else on the roster. If Howells-Dodge wants another State Tournament run over the next year, players like Brichacek will have to be consistent play-makers on both sides of the ball. Which is 100% do-able at this point in the process.

Brinchacek of Howells-Dodge High School averaged just over 3 FTA Per Game last Winter during her Freshman campaign and that might not seem like a whole lot but that numbers actually puts her in the Top 8 in her 2027 Class in FTA Per Game. Brinchacek competes out of the guard position while standing at 5’9 and she was an individual that made some big waves last season on the Varsity floor. She was one of the first on the floor for loose balls, she wasn’t afraid to taking contact and getting to the line, and she knocked down the shots once she did get those opportunities. It’ll be interesting to see how she follows that up with this upcoming season. Everyone around her now knows what she is capable of so I’m sure she is going to be a major piece within their system on both ends of the floor.
