Gresham senior Belasaire Vele and Bowler junior Emmitt Kietlinski were among the eight area boys basketball players to make all-conference teams in the Central Wisconsin Conference-North Division this winter.
Vele stuffed the stat sheet all season for Gresham, putting up averages of 13.1 points, 9.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.4 steals per conference game.
“Being named first team in my conference is a great feeling,” said Vele. “Coming from just an honorable mention last year, I used it to fuel the fire and be a solid player for my senior year.”
