fourth-place finish in thisyear's state tournament.

“Blake was our general onthe floor this year as he hasbeen since I took the headcoaching position two yearsago. His leadership on and offthe court is impossible to re-place,” Ethan coach BryceRoth said. “He was able tocreate his own shot when weneeded a basket and he con-sistently was asked to de-fend the best guard on ouropponent's team.”

Bartscher, who averaged17.5 points and recorded 155assists this season for theRustlers, finished his highschool career with 1,391points and 522 assists. Hehas signed to continue hisbasketball career in the fallat Mount Marty.

Johnson, a 6-5 forward,helped Platte-Geddes make asmooth transition from theClass A to the Class B ranks.He guided the Black Pan-thers, who participated inthe 2013 Class A State Tour-nament, to the champi-onship game in the 2014Class B State Tournament.

“He led us in scoring andrebound, and just gives us areal solid presence both onthe inside and the theperimeter,” Platte-Geddescoach Frank Cutler said.

Johnson surpassed the1,000-point milestone for theBlack Panthers during the re-gion championship game andwill look to add to that totalduring his senior campaign.He averaged 20 points and9.6 rebounds this season.

Williams was the loneplayer not a team in the statetournament to be named to thefirst team. He led the Warbirdsto a 17-5 record, with averagesof 22.1 points, 8.8 reboundsand 6.4 assists per game.

“Lorenzo was a big part inthe success of our team thisseason; he brought energyand excitement to the court

every day,” Wolsey-Wessing-ton coach Gordon Hookssaid. “The one stat Lorenzo ismost proud of is his assistsper game. He had eightgames with double digit as-sists this season. Lorenzo is atotal team player and that iswhy his teammates lovedplaying with him.”

Williams, who was a all-conference player in the 281Conference the past two sea-sons, scored a career-high 35points, had 12 rebounds andeight assists in a 77-52 victoryagainst Faulkton Area thisseason. He also had a career-high 17 rebounds to go along

with 24 points and six assistsin a 74-64 win in overtimeagainst Wessington Springs.

“Lorenzo is a great leaderon and off the court,” Hookssaid. “He is a very coachableplayer and an extremely hardworker.”

O'Malley capped his highschool career by leading Cen-terville to state tournament.The 6-1 guard is a two-timeall-state player after earninghonors on the second team ayear ago during his juniorseason.

“I have had the opportu-nity to coach some great kidsover my 12 years here in Cen-

terville; few have had the tal-ent, work ethic and leader-ship capabilities of Seamus,”coach Kory Muller said.“There are a lot of kids whotry to become good players,but he put his heart into itand is recognized as one ofthe state's best basketballplayers.”

O'Malley had averages of19.5 points, 8.4 rebounds and4.3 assists this season for theTornadoes, who finished theseason at 17-9.

“Seamus will always berecognized for his ability toscore, but he did much morethan that for us,” Muller said.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) —Joey Logano made a last-lap passof Jeff Gordon during extra lapsMonday after a late caution in arain-delayed race at Texas, becom-ing the seventh different winner inas many Sprint Cup races this sea-son,

Logano had a 2.2-second leadon teammate Brad Keselowski andwas within a half-lap of taking thewhite flag, which would have guar-anteed no extra laps. But thencame the caution for debris afterKurt Busch’s car brushed the walland one of his tires tore apart.

On the ensuing pit stop, Gor-

don took only two tires and exitedfirst. Both Team Penske driverstook four tires, but Keselowskimissed a chance to become theseason’s first two-time winnerwhen he was penalized for speed-ing on pit road and finished 15th.

On a restart at lap 262, Loganoquickly pulled his Ford away fromthe field and had a nearly 5-sec-ond lead before his last green-flagstop. After the green-white-check-ered restart on lap 339, Loganowent inside past Brian Vickers andquickly got behind Gordon.

Heading onto the frontstretch,Logano went low and was able to

get past Gordon going into thefirst turn. Kyle Busch finishedthird ahead of Brian Vickers androokie Kyle Larson.

Logano, the only driver withtop-five finishes in both Texasraces last season, got his fourthcareer victory after leading 108 of340 laps — six more than sched-uled. Team Penske joined Stewart-Haas Racing as the only teamswith multiple winners this season.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished lastin a 43-car field for the first time inseven seasons after driving his carinto the rain-saturated infieldgrass before it shot across the

track and slammed into the wall ina fiery crash. He took the blamefor the accident on lap 13 that alsoled to problems for Hendrick Mo-torsports teammate Jimmie John-son.

Johnson had damage on thewindshield and front left of his No.48 car from mud and debris afterthe Earnhardt crash. Johnson wasthree laps down by time he gotback in the race after his teamworked on the car, and the defend-ing Sprint Cup champion also hadan issue with a right-side tire be-fore finishing 25th.

Logano Holds On For Sprint Cup Win In Texas
