- January 2, 2008
- Members of the Bonner Springs High School girls’ basketball team split with highly-rated Tonganoxie last year and the Braves game Friday on the road against the Chieftains should be another key test. “Tonganoxie is the second-best girls team in the league besides Basehor,” Bonner Springs coach Clay Oakes said. “They have already won their own preseason tournament.” The Braves, 2-3, placed fourth in the Bonner Springs Metro Prep Classic Tournament in December. Seniors Kelsey Stanbrough and Felisha Leipard were the Braves top scoring threats in the tournament. Stanbrough, who was selected for the all-tournament team for her third straight year, is averaging 12 points a game so far to pace the Braves offensive attack.

Cook was second in the first home meet in the highest finish this season. Holder also swam well in the event at the team’s second home meet in December. “They have a camaraderie amongst themselves which is contagious to the rest of the team,” LaNoue said. “They encourage the rest of the team either directly through words or indirectly through actions.” LaNoue said the co-captains also help a lot at practice.

- Sports writer relishes winter break in Minnesota
- January 2, 2008
- My athletic career ended five years ago. Since I graduated high school I have not participated in any organized sport, succumbing instead to the sedentary life of a future sports journalist. For one month every year since I started college at the University of Kansas, however, that changes. I am again an athlete. I’m talking about winter break in my hometown of Brainerd, Minn. I compete voraciously with friends; not in front of crowds or for trophies. Rather, this competition stems from boredom and leads to bragging rights.
