Perkins defended the flights as time saving, noting a $1,983 flight for a Kansas vs Missouri game and $380 ground transport. He earned $4.4 million last year with bonuses.
Garden City coach Bob Schmitz faces a youthful 2009 squad with a 14-22 record last year. Senior Paula Gonzales, named All-Area Player of the Year, will not play this season, forcing others to step up. Schmitz expects more focus and tighter scouting as drills begin, with 45 players trying for spots.
