Salina Central senior Elisa Backes’ high school basketball career isn’t over yet.

The future Nebraska-Kearney Loper has been selected by the Kansas Basketball Coaches Association for its annual All-Star game. The boys and girls contests take place on June 23 at Mabee Arena, home to the Kansas Wesleyan Coyotes.

Backes was tabbed as the AVCTL-I player of the year. Backes set single-season records for points scored, rebounds and two-point field goals made.

Joining her is McPherson superstar Taylor Robertson, who willed her team to a Class 4A-I state championship at the Tony’s Pizza Events Center. The Oklahoma commit was named as Miss Kansas Basketball by the KBCA. Classmate Ben Pyle earned a similar honor, earning Mr. Kansas Basketball. Mason Alexander joins the dynamic duo to form a solid group of Bullpups.
