Liberal High School's Lewis, Rhine Earn WAC All-Conference Girls Basketball Honors

Shamari Lewis and Kylie Rhine, both seniors at Liberal High School, earned First Team spots on the Western Athletic Conference's all-conference girls basketball roster for the 2025-26 season, the WAC announced Monday.

The pair's selections represent Liberal's presence at the top of the conference's postseason recognition, a distinction that reflects individual performance across a full WAC schedule. Lewis and Rhine were among a group of standouts chosen from programs across the conference.

Jenna Schmeidler of Hays claimed the conference's highest individual honor, earning WAC Player of the Year recognition for the 2025-26 season.

The WAC all-conference process draws on performance across league play to identify the top players at each program. Earning a First Team nod as a senior carries particular weight, capping a high school career with recognition from the conference's coaches and evaluators.

Lewis and Rhine's selection puts Liberal on the WAC's year-end honor roll alongside programs from across the league and marks the program's contribution to one of southwest Kansas's most competitive girls basketball conferences.
