Cole Segraves of Maize was voted the Wichita Large School Preseason Special Teams Player of the Year. Segraves received over 300 votes, which was nearly 35 percent of the overall vote. “Having those votes means a lot to me, it is great to know that my community believes in me,” Segraves said. “I can only thank the Lord for giving me this opportunity to stay healthy and compete in the sport that I love.”

Segraves went 10-for-13 last season on field goal attempts, with a long from 49 yards out. He also went 56-for-59 on extra point attempts and recorded 44 touchbacks.

He was a first team all-league selection and was an honorable mention all-state selection. “By the grace of God, I hope that I can go 100% this year on field goals and extra points,” Segraves said. “But my main expectation is to do whatever the team needs to be successful.”

Segraves also plays baseball at Maize and outside of sports is involved in National Honor Society and the Red Rage Club.

He hopes to kick in college and is already getting significant interest from multiple programs. He would like to study Mechanical Engineering wherever he decides to go.
