Monihen helped the Braves to an 8-4 record and an appearance in a Class 2A Sub-State Championship game against Nemaha Central. Monihen was a first-team All-Flint Hills League pick at running back and defensive line and a second-team selection as a punter. Monihen was a first-team Sports In Kansas Top 100 Seniors 3A and below, a first-team defensive/flex selection in Class 2A from KSHSAA Covered, first-team running back in 2A from The Wichita Eagle, first-team defensive back in 2A from Sports In Kansas and was a finalist for 2A Offensive Player of the Year from Sports In Kansas. Monihen’s coach Butch Hayes was announced to be an assistant for the West team last month.
