Wichita East’s Heylei Davis – Basketball Spotlight – Presented by Emprise Bank

By Blake Chadwick

Year in and year out, the goal for Class 6A teams is to get to Wichita State and win a state championship.

Wichita East finished 10-12 a year ago but brought back three starters and a handful of really good transfers.

The Blue Aces will be led by senior Heylei Davis, who will be looking to take over an even bigger role.

“As a leader this year I am going to play my part,” Davis said. “I will always help my team and keep them motivated and have fun while playing. (I believe) nothing comes easy and if we want to have a good season then everybody needs to work hard.”

With hard work at the forefront for everything Davis is as a player, she has some more goals she wants to cross off her list.

“My personal goal for this year is to have a better season than I did last year and to play consistent and make all-city,” Davis said. “My goals for the team is to stay focused, work together and to play in the state tournament at WSU this season.”

Davis, who will be one of the better and more experienced players, does want to play at the next level, but knows she has unfinished business to take care of at East High.
