The Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) has

announced that the Seward County Lady Saints are on its list of winners

for the 2009-10 Academic Top 25 Team Honor Roll. This award, given in

NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, NAIA and Junior

College/Community College, awards teams throughout the nation that carry

the highest grade point averages (GPA) for the entire season based on

the nomination submitted by WBCA-member head coaches.

The Lady Saints check in at #12 on the JC/CC list this

season after compiling a team GPA of 3.10 over the course of the

2009-2010 school year. Toby Wynn’s Seward squad was the highest ranked

team from the Jayhawk Conference on the list, finding themselves just

ahead of Johnson County and Ft. Scott.

“Congratulations to these teams who have excelled

academically during the 2009-10 school year,” WBCA CEO Beth Bass said.

“Each of these coaches set an extraordinary example for their peers to

follow by holding academics in such high esteem with their

student-athletes” she continued.
