The results are in and voting is closed. It is time to recognize the first two Allen County Area Athletes of the Month of the new decade.
Here are the winners:
Cal Leonard
Leonard continues to score baskets frequently for the Iola Mustangs basketball team this winter. Last season, Leonard was Iolas leading scorer with 14 points per game. This year, the sharpshooter is averaging 16.8 ppg. Along with his efforts on the hardwood, Leonard signed at Washburn University to continue his baseball career at the next level.
Kelsey Morrison
Morrison was the solo returner from last years starting five for the Iola Fillies. While Morrison hasnt put up flash numbers in the box score, she has shown the ability to drive to the rim and get to the foul line consistently. In the fall, Morrison was a part of Iolas girls cross country team that qualified for state.
Be on the lookout during January for features on both of Decembers winners.
