Best Kansas high school boys basketball players honored on all-class teams
The Wichita Eagle is recognizing the best boys high school basketball players in Kansas for the 2025-26 season with its annual all-class teams, honoring the top performers from each classification across the state.
The Kansas high school basketball all-class teams are selected through a statewide process that includes ballots sent to every coach in Kansas, asking them to nominate players from their own team as well as standout players from other schools for consideration. Those coach nominations are weighed alongside all-league honors, individual production and team success to determine the final picks for some of the top boys basketball players in the state this season.
The all-class teams for Kansas high school girls were also published Tuesday.
