2009 Joplin Globe All-Area Girls Basketball Team Coach Brad Shorter says: “I was amazed at some of the things Kaitlin would do during a game or practice. She was so versatile. She possessed the great attitude. Our team chemistry had a lot to do with our success and she was a part of that. She made everyone around her better ... that’s the sign of a true star. She should reach 2,000 career points next season.”
Hannah Ketterman, Frontenac 5-7 sr. G Statistics: Unanimous all-CNC League performer served as point guard for the 17-6, 6-2 Raiders. She was a four-year starter with 1,264 points. Her senior averages — she was a captain — included 20.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 3.5 steals. She shot 83 percent from the foul line. She’s signed with Labette Community College of Parsons. Coach Jeremy Rakes says: “She was an outstanding all-around player and a great leader on the court. She constantly was pushing herself as well as her teammates.” Jamie Nash, Aurora 5-3 sr. G Statistics: Nash, a repeat selection on The Globe elite, and classmate Kenzie Lauffer were unanimous all-Big 8 as Aurora finished 20-8 overall and 7-0 in the conference in Kris Besch’s first year as head coach. Nash averaged 15.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 4 steals. Nash, an outfielder, has signed to play softball at Nebraska-Omaha of the MIAA. Coach Besch says: “Jamie was a tremendous competitor. It didn’t matter whether it was a game of cards or basketball. She gave her all. Jamie, a four-year starter, and Kenzie (Lauffer) both surpassed 1,000 career points. Jamie was a leader on the court which stemmed from that competitiveness. She really wanted other people to contribute.” Margaret Pogue, Grove 6-0 sr. P Statistics: Pogue, an all-Verdigris Valley Conference performer, averaged 13.4 points and 8.2 rebounds as the Ridgerunners finished 14-12 overall and 6-6 in the VVC.

Coach Richard Bassett says: “She was a true post player and probably went to her (unnatural) left more than to the right. She got up and down the floor. She had great hands and good feet. You couldn’t ask for a better kid. Academically, she scored very high and will attend Oklahoma State.” Lorelei Snow, Neosho 5-8 sr. G
