HUMBOLDT — A quartet of Humboldt High standouts earned accolades for their work on the hardwood this season.

Humboldt’s Trey Sommer and Drew Wilhite earned All-Pioneer League honors for the Cub boys. 

For the Lady Cubs, Carsyn Haviland earned all-league honors while Karley Wools earned honorable mention.

SOMMER, a 6-2 junior, led Humboldt in scoring (15.8 points per game) and rebounding (4.6 boards) for the 13-8 Cubs, who were eliminated by Girard in the Class 3A Substate Playoffs. Girard wound up winning that substate bracket.

Wilhite did a little bit of everything for Humboldt, averaging 10.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and a team-leading 3.3 assists per game. But he was most lethal on the defensive side, racking up nearly four steals per contest.

Wilhite, a 5-11 senior, has signed to compete in track and field next year at Pittsburg State University.

HAVILAND and Wools, both juniors, proved a potent one-two punch for the Lady Cubs.

Haviland averaged 10.1 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3 assists per game.

Wools, meanwhile, averaged 10.8 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.5 assists for the Lady Cubs (4-16), who were eliminated by eventual Substate Champion Frontenac in the quarterfinal round.
