Tidbits: VWBA Elite has consistently produced winning teams on the grassroots circuit for years. This year will be no exception as VWBA has a talented group of players from the Kansas City area from both the Missouri and Kansas sides. Wagler is a talented, big point guard who led Shawnee Mission NW to a state championship and an undefeated season. Sanchez is a versatile small forward who averaged nearly 20 points and 10 rebounds during the regular season. On the Missouri side, Smith is an excellent point guard who has been a starter at Raytown since his freshman year while Brown is a talented lefty shooter who was a starting guard for Oak Park’s Class 6 Final Four team. Eskew and Effertz were a part of Rockhurst’s district championship team while Moss was a key player for KIPP Legacy’s team that is emerging as a strong small school program in the KC area.
