Colby Schreiner of Kingman was voted the Wichita Small School Preseason Linebacker of the Year. He received nearly 10,000 votes, which was 36 percent of the overall vote. “Being included in this magazine means a lot to me because I’m from a smaller community that doesn’t get a ton of recognition, and I’m grateful to be among these other great competitors,” Schreiner said.

Even with missing just two games last season, Schreiner posted 81 tackles, 2.5 sacks, 12 tackles for loss, one fumble recovery, two forced fumbles, and one pass break up. He was a second team all-league selection.

Schreiner has some big goals for this season. “Individually I would like to reach 300 career tackles,” Schreiner said. “As a team we plan to have a top scoring offense and a top defense in Class 2A, win a league title and go deep into the playoffs.”

Schreiner also competes in baseball and wrestling, where he has placed in the top three all three years. Outside of sports, Schreiner participates in Future Business Leaders of America and Catholic Youth Ministry, as well as being the founding member of the Kingman Junior Booster Club. 

He would like to wrestle in college and major in criminal justice.
