City athletes from Free State and Lawrence high schools were among the many honored by Sunflower League coaches on the 2011-12 all-league teams for girls and boys basketball.

Free State girls junior guard Kennedy Kirkpatrick was the lone first-team selection from Lawrence.

While the girls teams were split into two 10-player lists, the boys teams had three five-player lists, and Free State senior guard Brett Frantz made the All-Sunflower League third team.
