Bishop Miege’s Travis Releford was named Kansas’ Gatorade Player of the Year, as was Labette County’s Kendra Frazier.
Both are outstanding players — and were named to The Eagle’s All-State boys and girls teams — and both will be staying in the area for college. Releford is going to KU, while Frazier is going to Mizzou.
Missouri sure likes the Kansas girls. Circle’s Bekah Mills is there, Andover Central’s Bailey Gee is going there, and so is Frazier.
We’ll have to keep an eye on that program and see what the Kansas girls can do for the Tigers. K-State has obviously benefited from keeping girls in-state — Shalee Lehning, Marlies Gipson, Ashley Sweat and Kari Kincaid are the most recent. Although it doesn’t sound like Christine Elliott, Joanna McFarland, Lindsey Keller and Gee even considered KSU. KU also has talent from inside the state, with Taylor McIntosh, a senior, as well as Danielle McCray, a former all-stater.

Bishop Miege didn’t even get out of sub-state…
Probably was the best player in Kansas, but the Player of the Year has to bring it in the postseason as well.

I understand your point, but if you’re the best, you’re the best. His team was one of the top in the state, had a good record but didn’t make it to state. In other words, his team wasn’t 3-18, you know? If that had been the case, he shouldn’t have been the player of the year.
