Payton Gaines and Javen Alexander of Baxter Springs, as well as Kendall Holtzman of Labette County, all officialy committed to the Red Ravens this week.

 

Gaines had a memorable senior season, earning honorable mention All-State as a quarterback. He will be playing wide receiver at CCC.

 

Alexander will be a versatile athlete for the Ravens, having played wide receiver, tight end, linebacker, and safety in his time at Baxter Springs.
