Washburn Lady Blues head basketball coach Ron McHenry has announced the signing of B&B Baileyville guard Jill Heiman to a national letter of intent Friday morning.

Heiman averaged 15 points, seven rebounds, three assists and two steals a game for B&B Baileyville to earn all-league and second team all-state Class 1A honors last season as a junior. She helped the Falcons to a 1A state title her freshman year and a second place finish her sophomore season.

ñJill has a great deal of passion for the game of basketball; she is the type of player who will do what it takes to win a game,î said McHenry. ñJill has played all five positions in high school and is a super athlete who has a feel for the game. She comes from a great basketball program that has had a lot of success.î

Heiman has also participated in volleyball and track at B&B, earning first team all-league and honorable mention all-state honors in volleyball her junior season.

Heiman becomes the third player to sign during the early period for Washburn after (Topeka) Seaman HighÍs Rebekah Mueller and OsborneÍs April Roadhouse signed a letters of intent earlier in the week for the Lady Blues.
