5 Wichita Seniors in the Spotlight

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The top player in Wichita is also the top point guard in the state. [player_tooltip player_id='1080161' first='Marcus' last='Zeigler Jr']. (pictured) led Wichita Heights to a state title last season. He had so much talent around him, he was able to play point guard in the traditional way, setting up the offense, directing traffic and distributing to scorers. He may show off his ability to create his own shot more this year. He is really tough in transition and plays a physical style in the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>But Zeigler isn't the only stud senior to watch in Wichita. Here are five Wichita seniors who will be in the spotlight (in alphabetical order) this season:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_636a8c6795300","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1080159"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Kapaun's football team fell to Maize Friday, meaning a future Kansas State quarterback – [player_tooltip player_id='1080176' first='Avery' last='Johnson'] – ended the high school career of a future Kansas State tight end – Anciaux.

Last year he averaged 13 points and nearly 5 boards. He doesn't have to have the ball in his hands either – he finds open jumpers to catch and shoot.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1080184"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Fair will join Anciaux at KSU.
