    When coaches unanimously voted Tell City’s Kara Kessans the top girls basketball player in the Big Eight Conference in 1998, then Tell City Coach Keith Kiplinger said, “I told them she earned everything she got because she always stayed after practice and worked on her shot, free throws, ball-handling or other individual stuff on her own.

    “Every day she stayed after practice to work on something. Sometimes she’d stay an extra hour and a half. That’s the kind of work ethic it takes to be successful.”
