Bowen at Nike Nationals; all-star basketball coming up

Jhasmin Bowen, a Wichita Heights basketball player, is competing for Dallas-Fort Worth this week at Nike Nationals. The event lasts through Saturday in Augusta, S.C.

Jhasmin will be a senior this year at Heights. She was the only player outside the Topeka-Kansas City area who earned all-state honors on the first team in Class 6A last year.
