DHS Grad Nelson Earns All-Region Basketball Honors


The Newton Kansan reports that DHS grad Tana Nelson of Hesston College (Kansas) was named to the National Junior College Athletic Association Division II, All-Region VI team for the 2006-07 season. The 5'7" sophomore was named to the second team.

HC coach Joel Kauffman said Nelson averaged 9.4 points per game. During the team’s last seven games, Nelson averaged 16 points a game. “Tana Nelsen played out of position for us for much of the season because of all the injuries we had,” Kauffman said. “Because of that, she didn’t put up the kind of numbers she could have until late in the season.” Hesston went 18-11 this season.
