Ellis, Ulsaker headline Kansas Super 6 basketball team

Perry Ellis and Christian Ulsaker guided Wichita Heights and McPherson to state basketball championships in Kansas' two largest classifications, respectively, earlier this month and now they are reaping the individual rewards that go along with such feats.

Ellis teamed up with Wichita State recruit and Wichita Heights teammate Evan Wessel in carrying the Falcons to their third straight basketball title, while Jack Pyle and Ulsaker joined forces to do the same for the Bullpups. All four athletes get the nod as first team all-staters in their respective classifications.

Ironically, McPherson's only loss on the season was to Heights 81-73 in the championship game of the McPherson Invitational in January.

Also landing on the 2010-11 Kansas Boys Super Six basketball team is Class 3A champion Scott City's Ron Baker and Kansas City-Washington guard Tra'Vaughn White, who led the Wildcats to a Class 5A runner-up finish. Semi Ojeleye and Ottawa finished second at the Class 4A state tournament. Rounding out the state's top basketball team is Wichita North scoring juggernaut Conner Frankamp.

Below is a look at the 2010-11 all-state basketball teams as well as the final boys basketball rankings.
