Lady Blues sign Manhattan standout

April 11, 2001

Washburn Lady Blues head coach Ron McHenry has announced that Manhattan High School product Ineke Ingram has signed a National Letter of Intent to play at Washburn.

The 5-11 senior averaged 12.6 points and 6.2 rebounds for head coach Scott Mall leading the Indians to an 18-3 record. Ingram was an first team all I-70 selection as well as a member of the Topeka Capital-Journal’s all class 6A first team.

“We’re excited about signing one of the best players in the state,” McHenry said. “She is going to be at the cornerstone of us with our commitment to signing the best in Kansas. She is a very complete basketball player both offensively and defensively who has the potential to be one of the top players in the conference.

“She comes from a strong family and high school program under coach Mall which instilled in Ineke a great work ethic and discipline. We are ecstatic to have her in our program.”

Ingram joins Lora Westling, a 5-10 guard from Casper, Wyo. who signed in the early signing period.

The Lady Blues coaching staff would like to sign three to four more players to sign this season.
