Racers land two from the Jayhawk

Tarod Sanders, (SO) 6-foot-6 (250) from Coffeyville Community College and Ivan Evans, (SO) 6-foot-4 (200) from Barton County Community College, are both heading off to Murray State University next season.

Sanders, from Chanute, KS, averaged 9.9 ppg and 6 rebounds for the Ravens last season.

"Tarod is a big, strong power forward who has been part of a lot of wins here at Coffeyville," said head coach Jay Herkelman.

Sanders has won 66 games in his two seasons at the school.

Evans, from Philadelphia, averaged 15 ppg and 9.3 rebounds this season for 27-7 Cougars. Ivan scored 751 career points and grabbed 449 rebounds in 50 games played at Barton County. Ivan just played the second semester as freshman. He received interest from Long Island, Niagara, Morehead State and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.

"Ivan has a chance to do some great things at the next level and I think in a structured program like MSU he's going to improve even more," said head coach Craig Fletchall.
