Flachsbarth commits to Kansas
By DAVID BOYCE
Staff writer
The quarterback who led the Lawrence High Lions to the 6-A state championship this year, Lance Flachsbarth, said yesterday that he had committed to play football for the Kansas Jayhawks next year.
Although he cannot officially sign with Kansas until the national signing day, Feb. 11, Flachsbarth said he would be invited to the University of Kansas.
Flachsbarth, who helped lead his team to an undefeated season and a 6A State Championship this season, chose Kansas over Nebraska and Louisville.
The 6-foot-7 quarterback led his team to a 28-7 victory over Junction City.
On the year, Flachsbarth completed 70 of 154 passes for 1,028 yards and earned first team All-State honors.
"I have been a Jayhawk fan all my life," Flachsbarth said, "I really like Coach Valesente and I think I have an opportunity to play right away."
He said although the opportunity was there for him to start next year, he would have to work extremely hard to achieve that goal.
"It might take a year or two," he said. "Kansas has two quarterbacks who did that."
Junior Mike Orth and freshman Kaji Keshouhon each started for the JayaHill team.
Besides being a lifetime Jayhawk fan, Flachsbarth said he also chose Kansas because the Jayhawks run a
passing offense.

Flachsbarth's coach in high school, Bill Freeman, said he thought Flachsbarth's best years as a quarterback were still ahead of him.
"He only played one year as a quarterback for the varsity squad," Freeman said. "In his junior year he played defensive back."

Flashesbarth did play quarterback for the junior varsity squad during spring training.
Freeman said he thought the reason Flachsbarch chose Kansas over Nebraska was because at Kansas he would be able to play quarterback than defensive back, the position he would probably play at Nebraska.
If Lance had a choice, he would have won the quarterfinals, than defender back, 'so I was ready.'
Staying close to home may have been another factor, Freeman said.
He's very close to his family," he said. Louisville he would be separated from them.
Flachsbarth said he thought he could help turn around the KU team, which finished 3-18 this season and was unfair in the Big Eight Conference.
Lance Flachsbarth (17). Lawrence High School senior quarterback, says he will attend Kansas to play football next season. Flachsbarth chose Kansas over Nebraska and Louisville.

FREMANTLE. Australia — Stars & Stripes overpowered Kookaburra III by a mammoth 1:46 today, bringing skipper Dennis Coin within one victory of reclaiming the America's Cup for the United States.
Stars & Stripes holds a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven series of the 26th America's Cup. Race four is scheduled for tomorrow, but Kookaburra III skipper Iain Murray has the option of taking a lay day.

Conner, of the San Diego Yacht Club, has spent $15 million on a five-boot campaign in his quest to win the trophy back. The 44-year-old drapery team lost the defended Cup in 1980, only to lose it three years later to Australia II.
Murray was unable to take advantage of the light to moderate winds he had hoped for. Stars & Stripes was so far ahead, that at a point Conner turned the wheel over to his tactician for 15 minutes while he had a drink and observed Kookaburra III far behind.
