Two Fort Hays State signees have been selected to play in the Kansas Volleyball All-Star match which will take play Saturday at Washburn’s Lee Arena in Topeka. Ellsworth’s Halle Connally and Manhattan’s Jessie Kujawa will play in the match which begins at 6:30pm
The players selected are first nominated by their high school coaches (who must be KVA members), and then recommended by committee to fill the squads. Based on achievements, positions, classifications, collegiate plans and availability the squads are determined and divided into two teams which should provide for a very competitive match.
The KVA began the all star match twenty nine years ago in an effort to promote the sport of volleyball in the state of Kansas. It was designed to recognize all classifications in both coaching and playing venues. This is the one all star event which has state wide participation and ensures that all classifications are represented. Following the format of other all star events, like the Shrine Bowl in Football and the KBCA basketball all star game, the match will showcase twenty four of the most talented graduated seniors in the state of Kansas.
