Here are some Key Performers at the Panther Classic:
Zack Frank, 5-foot-6 guard, 2024, Wabaunsee:
Frank was white hot in the first quarter against Chapman. The guard drilled four first quarter 3s and finished the game with 16 points.
Jake Kelly, 5-foot-11 guard, 2022, Royal Valley:
Kelly doesn’t get much notoriety for his work, but he’s an indispensible part of the starting five and brings a ton of energy to the lineup. He defends with intensity and quickness, handles the ball and hits the boards. He’s a role player extraordinaire. If Royal Valley is to go far this season, it will be in large part because of the blue collar Kelly.
Blake Buessing, 5-foot-6 guard, 2022, Santa Fe Trail:
Buessing is a steady senior who is a threat to score, like the 11 he put up against Chapman, and is a reliable with the ball at clutch time.
Camden Liebau, 6-foot-1 guard, 2022, Chapman:
Liebau is a multisport athlete who can knock down the long ball. He gets to the line and hits his free throws too.
Lane Workman, 5-foot-8 guard, 2024, Santa Fe Trail:
The Chargers put up a fight against Wabaunsee, led by 23 from Workman. The sophomore guard tossed in 10 against Royal Valley.
