    Rossville's Amanda Hill signed a letter of intent with Kansas Wesleyan of the KCAC on Wednesday, May 3rd, to play basketball for the Lady Coyotes of Salina.  Amanda was a four year starter for the Lady Dawgs and was a key component on the turnaround and success the Lady Dawgs have had in recent times.  As a senior, Hill averaged over 20 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists a game for the 20 -3 Dawgs.  Amanda was a three time all Mid-East League pick, three time tournament MVP of the Chapman Fighting Irish Classic, and on the All-Tournament team at Jeff County North the past two years.  Hill was 3A honorable mention her sophomore year, 2nd team 3A her junior year, and 1st team 3A her senior campaign.  Amanda was also selected to play in the NEK All-Star game at Highland Community College where she was named the game MVP.  She will be playing in the prestigious KBCA All-Star game on June 25th in Salina Kansas.
    Amanda Hill ended her career with over 1,300 points and 465 rebounds.  She was a prolific scorer and shooter, her senior year she shot over 50% from the field, 44% from 3-point line, and 81% from the free throw line.   All of this was accomplished while she was seeing the opponent’s best defender and defense set up to contain and minimize her.
    Coach Michael Bell states that "Amanda was a great player, teammate, and student for Rossville High School.  She will be sorely missed by our team next year.  All of Amanda's success is a direct correlation to her hard work and dedication she puts into the sport.  Amanda is what they call a gym rat, always in there working on her game before and after practice.  It was an honor to coach her these last four years and we at Rossville wish her nothing but the best of luck at Kansas Wesleyan University."
