Welcome Back, Evan Wessel

How much have the Heights Falcons missed their point guard Evan Wessel? Would Heights be undefeated right now if they had him, well, I'm not sure but I'm inclined to say yes.

Wessel has been out for the first half of the season with a broken wrist he sustained in the 6A football state championship game. Which is kind of funny (funny weird, not funny haha) considering I asked coach Joe Auer how nervous he was having one of his star players in the football state championships. Auer said, "I saw him at church the other day and considered throwing a little extra holy water on him." Maybe he should've thrown a little more.

In any case, Wessel will help the Falcons out TREMENDOUSLY in this next part of the season. He said he would return in the second half of the season and told our photographer extraordinnaire, Greg McFadden, that he would be back after Christmas break. Wessel is a perfect compliment to big man Perry Ellis and is an excellent distributor. We here at Catch it Kansas and KWCH 12 like Wessel's play so much that we are all pulling for him to stay in Wichita and play for the Shockers.

Heights is off Tuesday night and they have Northwest at the end of this week. Although he may not be 100% the Grizzlies are in for a rough outing once Wessel touches the ball.
