Breaking: Kauffman First Team All-Area

NOMINATE FOR ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

ELKHART — Seth Kauffman was named to the All Area first team in balloting released this morning by the Elkhart Truth, Bleeding Bruin Blue has learned. Kauffman  is joined on the six-player first team by four players from the Northern Lakes Conference and one from Elkhart Central High School. He finished his high school career as the only local player in the class of 2010 to break the 1,000-point mark, finishing with a tally of 1,104 that is good for second place in Bethany history. His 18.7 points and 8.3 per game were both good for fourth in the Truth coverage area, which includes all of Elkhart County plus Penn, Marian, Wawasee, and Westview.
This is the second such honor for Kauffman, who was named to the Goshen News all-area team last week. Fellow Bruins Hamilton Thorne and Mikey Kelly were awarded second team and honorable mention by the News, though neither was recognized by the Elkhart publication; the News also named Bethany guard Marla zumFelde to its girls third team, while the Truth does not have an All Area girls list.
