With a league title and an undefeated regular season on the resume, you know plenty of postseason accolades will follow and that was the case for the Winfield-Mt. Union girls’ basketball team with six players named to all conference teams.
The North Division of the Southeast Iowa Super Conference had nine first team players and four of them were Wolves including Bradie Buffington, Farrah Nelson, Kyndal Townsley, and Jobey Malone.

Buffington led the group with 8.6 points a night, hauled in 4.8 rebounds, and her 1.5 blocks a game ranked third in the division. Nelson brought in a team best 7.6 boards and chipped in with 8.5 points. Townsley averaged 7.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, and dished out 2.4 assists a contest while Malone added 6.4 points and 4.6 boards.
