Brittany Gosch of Norwich was voted as the Wichita Small School Preseason Player of the Year. Gosch received nearly 7,000 votes, which was 51 percent of the overall vote.
“I consider it an honor and privilege to even be nominated for this preseason poll,” Gosch said. “All of the athletes in this category are amazing players and contribute much to their team.”
Last season, Gosch was selected as a first team all-league player and was a key piece to the Eagles’ 20-4 record and state tournament appearance. Gosch led the Eagles in rebounding with nearly 10 per game.
Gosch hopes last season was just a stepping-stone for Norwich this season.
“I am looking forward to going back to state this year with my team and we hope to make it to the finals,” Gosch said.
Gosch has played volleyball and softball during her three years at Norwich and this year plans to run track. After high school, she plans to attend Kansas State and to major in nursing.
