Boone County senior forward Katie Behrens has committed to Kentucky Wesleyan, her coach Nell Fookes stated in an e-mail today.

 

Heading into this week's Ninth Region Tournament, Behrens is averaging 17.7 points, 7.2 rebounds, two assists and two steals per game for the Lady Rebels.

 

Behrens has also been named the KABC Ninth Region player of the year and will try out for the Kentucky All-Star Team in April.

 

Congrat's Katie...you have shown tremendous leadership through a lot of adversity.

She also had offers from NKU, and Union in Tenn. I think.

Lincoln Memorial (Tn), Ashland University (Ohio)...at least two others. Also, Coach Fookes' was quoted in the paper that "a couple of smaller D1 schools were in the mix". They may have been too far away. Not sure.

Congrats to Katie. I know this is awesome Ludlow grows the talent, and other teams benefit from it. Its nice seeing for the 2nd time in three years another Ludlow girl getting great recognition, being named player of the year and getting to go to a good college to play basketball just like Rachel Lantry another former Ludlow player. It would have been nicer seeing them get it done though while at Ludlow though. :irked:

 

Once again though congrats to Katie, this is really a great accomplishment. I sure she will have a very nice career down at Kentucky Wesleyan! :thumb:

Congrats to Katie!
