Runnels headed to Missouri Valley

Wayne Runnels had a great two-year career at Northern Oklahoma-Enid. The Jets won 44 games in his two years of play. Runnels, a (SO) 6-foot-6 (215) forward from nearby Watonga, OK, will be heading to the Missouri Valley Conference next season. JucoJunction has the latest on where Wayne will be going in this story.

Runnels took in the Creighton and Kentucky NIT Game Monday and liked what he saw from the Blue Jays. Runnels will be playing for the Creighton Blue Jays next season in the Missouri Valley Conference. Runnels scored 893 points and grabbed 484 rebounds in his two year career for the Jets. Wayne was a BI-State West All Conference player and Region II Player of the Year this season for the Jets.

Runnels averaged 23 ppg and 11 rebounds on the season. JucoJunction didn't have Wayne in the Top 150 this season, but he proved with his play he was one of the nation's best. Jeremy Lay, (SO) 6-foot-0, a one-time Southeast Missouri State signee is back on the market for the Jets. Lay, a point guard, recently visited Missouri State University on a official visit.
