Washington Township hangs on for PCC title nwitimes.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from nwitimes.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
The Region was well-represented when the Indiana Basketball Coaches Association released its all-state selections Tuesday.
Bishop Noll s Courtney Blakely and Michigan City s Trinity Thompson were both named to the IBCA Senior All-State Supreme 15 team, while Crown Point duo Jessica Carrothers and Lilly Stoddard, who led the Bulldogs to their third girls basketball state title Saturday, were selected to the IBCA Underclass All-State Supreme 15 team. I think (Stoddard and Carrothers) complement each other really well, Crown Point coach Chris Seibert said. A lot of stuff that we do offensively involves the pick and roll game with those two, and defensively we re aggressive, and Lilly is just that rock for us at the basket. I think this is a great accomplishment for them.
Every now and then, Morgan Township coach Rick Budka has to remind Emma O Brien of how well she is playing.
The humble senior rarely gives herself any credit, but from Budka s perspective O Brien is quietly having one the best seasons of any player in the Region. The 5-foot-6 guard was averaging 12.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 5.0 steals per game entering Tuesday s contest at John Glenn.
She had also posted four double-doubles through nine games and nearly notched a triple-double in a 66-60 overtime victory at Oregon-Davis on Dec. 5. O Brien finished that contest with 11 points, 12 assists, nine steals, six rebounds and one block.
