Two members of the Ventura boys basketball team received All Sub-State recognition.
    This is the second year that senior Cody Kadolph as received the honor. Kadolph was a leader in the Cornbelt Conference in a number of categories. He was the second leading scorer with a total of 355 points for the 2007-08 season. He ranked number one in the league in steals and was also a leader in three-point shooing, assists and rebounds. Kadolph was also one of only a few Vikings to have scored over a 1,000 points in his career at Ventura.
    This is the first year that junior Tyler Betz has earned the All Sub-State honor. Betz, who is Ventura’s post player, ranked fifth in the conference in scoring with 335 points. He was a leading rebounder in the league with 173 total rebounds and an 8.24 per game average. Betz ranked fourth in the conference for blocked shots.
    “These two are very special players and this award shows that coaches from two districts also thought they were pretty good,” said Coach Nick Schauf. “It shows that Betz is one of the best big men and Cody is among the top guards.”
    Players are nominated for the honor by their coaches. Coaches from other districts vote on the players and the top eight receive the honor.
