"That a small school such as Belle Plaine could produce two players at a four-year college and a community college is quite noteworthy"

When Derby police are called to the scene of a situation that is emotional, tense, confusing and stressful, they are able to offer the services of volunteer police chaplain Ben Ray. https://t.co/nyBLPV5iOx
The link to the All-VYPE Basketball Teams are below!
Remember:
Coaches voted for these teams. VYPE DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN THESE TEAMS!
We received over 75 percent of the 220 boys and girls teams in VYPE's coverage area. Thank you, coaches!
2022 Wildcats G/F Ian Comer helped the Wildcats to it's best record in recent memory. Comer averaged 12 ppg, 8 rpg and 3 apg while snagging a 2nd Team All League nomination. With his Senior year on the horizon … Comer will be a force to reckon with in the AVCTL!
Senior SG Isaac Ray finished a phenomenal career with the Derby Panthers while grabbing 2nd Team AVCTL I honors. Ray is the most underrated player in the state and has a blend of selflessness, talent and leadership that all teams wish they had and only a few experience!
Ark City's 2021 G/F Brock Merz took his game to a new level in his final season for the Bulldogs (14-7). Merz secured 1st Team AVCTL II honors while averaging 14 ppg, 7 rpg and 2 spg to outplay some of the toughest competition in Kansas!
Southwestern College-bound PG/SG Trey Abasolo carried a Mulvane Wildcats team to a 16-5 record while shattering all school records in the process. Abasolo wrapped up his senior year with a 1st Team All League honor and Player of Year for the AVCTL IV league
Senior PG Eli Wiseman led the Dragons to it's first State playoff berth since 2017. @EWiseman0 received 1st Team All-League honors while averaging 25 ppg, 3 rpg, 3 apg and ended his career as one of the top scorers in school history (1,446 points)
Senior SG Austin Hilton wrapped up a stellar career while pushing his team to it's first State appearance in 5 years. Hilton received 1st Team All-League honors in his final season while averaging 17 ppg, 6 rpg, 3 apg and ended his career shooting over 45% of deep (183 of 405)
Congrats to senior Isaac Ray on being 2nd Team All-AVCTL Div. 1! Isaac was one of the top shooters in the league and played incredibly hard in our press. But more importantly, he was the best young man and teammate a coach could ever hope for! 🏀✊🏼
