Campus senior guard Stevie Strong won last Friday’s Top Player award for boys after erupting for 40 points and a school-record eight three-pointers during the Colts’ dominant run to the Chanute title. Meanwhile, Collegiate senior forward Maddy Mairs scored the girls Top Player award after scoring a game-high 18 points for the Spartans in a 56-41 win over Augusta.

Boys’ Top Player candidates

Kapaun Mt. Carmel’s Will Anciaux

The sophomore forward scored a team-high 16 points to power Kapaun to a 56-46 City League victory over Heights. After a three-game losing swoon early, the Crusaders have won five straight games and are now 8-3 on the season.

Campus’ Sterling Chapman

The Tulsa signee had the play of the night, as he drove the length of the floor, trailing by one, and finished through contact for the game-winning basket with 0.4 seconds left in Campus’ 73-72 win over Maize. Chapman finished with 21 points and the Colts picked up a crucial league victory, as they won their eighth straight game and improved to 9-1 this season.

Collegiate’s Wesley Fair

The sophomore guard scored a game-high 17 points for Collegiate in its 67-56 victory at Mulvane, handing the Wildcats (11-1) their first loss of the season. Fair has been the leading scorer for the Spartans, which improved to 9-2 overall and are in a three-way tie for the AV-CTL Div. IV lead now.

Augusta’s Brendan Parker

The Orioles have quietly reeled off six straight victories, including a tournament championship last weekend at Baldwin, following a 39-29 win over Andale where Parker scored a game-high 16 points.

Girls’ Top Player candidates

Andale’s McKenzie Fairchild

The sophomore forward scored Andale’s only field goal in overtime to help the Indians upset Nickerson in a 39-34 overtime victory in the opening round of the Haven tournament. Andale (7-3) snapped the seven-game winning streak for Nickerson (9-2).

Chaparral’s Sophie Francis

The senior guard scored a season-high 28 points for Chaparral in a 58-35 victory over Belle Plaine in the first round of the Sedgwick tournament. Francis has been the team’s leading scorer, as the Roadrunners improved to 7-2 this season.

Southeast’s Jaila Harding

The senior sharpshooter drilled seven three-pointers on her way to 25 points in Southeast’s 48-21 victory over East. The Golden Buffaloes won their third straight game and improved to 7-3 this season.

Heights’ Laniah Randle

It was business as usual for one of the state’s top players, as Randle poured in 25 points for Heights in its 72-50 victory over Kapaun Mt. Carmel. The Falcons swept one of their top City League contenders and improved to 8-2 overall and 8-0 in league play.
