Budke one of nine to be enshrined
Kansas State quarterback Michael Bishop and former Kansas basketball star Bud Stallworth are among the nine members of the 2012 class of the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame.
Bishop was the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy in 1998, setting several school records along the way. Stallworth was the Big Eight player of the year in 1972.
Kurt Budke, the Oklahoma State women's basketball coach who died in a plane crash last year, will be inducted posthumously during the ceremony Oct. 7 in Wichita. Budke is originally from Salina, and played basketball at Washburn. The basketball court at the Salina Bicentennial Center was named after him prior to the NJCAA Women's National Championship Game this past March.
Other members of the class include former Kansas quarterback David Jaynes and basketball player Wayne Simien; Kansas State basketball player Willie Murrell; Olympian Harold Manning; longtime tennis coach David Snyder and softball player Brenda Stolle.

Kurt Budke was a great man and is more than deserving of this honor. One suggestion: Could KSAL find photos relevant to articles? This is the HOF from years ago. It's in Newton now. Maybe a photo of Kurt would be more appropriate. Or the current HOF.
