Friday, April 6, 2007

Cottey College sophomore Lacy Leonard was named NJCAA Division II All-American for the second consecutive year. The team was announced Friday.

Leonard, a 2005 Nevada High School graduate, averaged 18.3 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.3 steals per game for the Comets, leading them to a best ever 14-8 record and consecutive second place finishes in Region 16.

Leonard will be playing basketball at University of St. Mary in Leavenworth, Kan., next season.

The 6-foot forward was one of three repeat players from last year's first team, joining Jazmine Sepulveda of Kirkwood (Iowa) Community College and Latoya Wright of Carl Sandburg (Ill.) College.
