First team

Makenna Marisa, Peters Township: Finishing her career at Peters Township with 1,720 points, Marisa could make a strong case as the best player in Pennsylvania. Taking her game to another level, the Penn State recruit averaged 20.8 points, 4.3 assists and 6.1 rebounds per game. Marisa finished with double-digit point totals in 29 of the Indians’ 30 games.

Carley Allen, Washington: One of the most productive players in Washington County over the last several seasons, Allen was equally as consistent in her senior season for the Prexies. Under first-year head coach Ron Moore, Allen used her athleticism to get up and down the court ahead of the opponents and took advantage of Washington’s pressing defense. She averaged 18.1 points per game.

McKenna Lampe, West Greene: The benefactor of much of her own full-court pressure, Lampe finished off an incredible run as a basketball player with another strong season. She led the Pioneers to the WPIAL Class A finals with a team-high in points (14.1 per game) and tied for a team high in steals (4.2) with her sister, Madison. McKenna Lampe finished her career with 1,631 points.

Tamara Mathis, Canon-McMillan: The quick point guard for the Big Macs was a bright spot to a team that missed the playoffs. Mathis used her lightning speed to put together solid numbers all season for Canon-McMillan. She averaged 14.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 4.3 steals to net her second consecutive first-team all-district selection.

Isabella Mills, Peters Township: A steady presence for Peters Township, the 5-11 senior captain scored in double figures in 26 of the Indians’ 30 games. One of Mills’ biggest impacts was her long-range shooting as she made 48 three-pointers. She averaged 13.8 points, 5 assists and 5.8 rebounds per game.

Second Team

Madison Lampe, West Greene: Another 1,000-point scorer for West Greene, Lampe had a solid season by finishing just below her sister in points per game (13.2) to help West Greene to back-to-back trips to the WPIAL Class A Championship. Lampe also averaged 5.8 rebounds and 4.2 steals, finishing with third in program history with 1,429 career points.

Emily Prasko, Burgettstown: Guiding Burgettstown to its third playoff appearance in the last 19 years, Prasko couldn’t play in the first round because of stress fractures in her legs. She was missed. The Blue Devils’ point guard was vital in their return to the postseason, averaging 11 points, 9 rebounds, 4 steals and 4 assists per game.

Kaitlyn Rizor, West Greene: The third Pioneer to eclipsed 1,000 points – Rizor achieved the feat in January – she provided much-needed height in her transition to the post. Rizor led West Greene with 6.8 rebounds per game. She also scored an average of 12.9 points per game.

Lindsay Steeber, Belle Vernon: The main scoring threat for Belle Vernon, sharp-shooting Steeber averaged 16.9 points per game. She had a career-high 32 points for Belle Vernon in a win over Frazier and scored more than 20 points multiple nights. Steeber finished 12th in all-time scoring for the Leopards.

Journey Thompson, Peters Township: The standout freshman helped change Peters Township into a complete team from top to bottom. Thompson, a 6-1 center, scored 12.8 points and grabbed 7.6 rebounds per game for the Indians. She scored 16 points in the PIAA Class 6A Championship.

Third team

Abby Cooper, Fort Cherry: Cooper was a constant in the box scores for Fort Cherry. She averaged 10 points and five rebounds for the Rangers.

Qitarah Hardison, Monessen: Through the good and bad for Monessen, Hardison has always been steady for the Greyhounds. The junior averaged 8 points and 10 rebounds. She also had 75 steals this past season.

Bess Lengauer, Avella: In what might have been the most successful season in program history, Lengauer led Avella to the state playoffs for the first time. She averaged 8.6 points and 7.2 rebounds.

Elizabeth Trump, Beth-Center: In the fourth playoff appearance this decade for Beth-Center, Elizabeth Trump provided a strong presence inside for the Bulldogs. She led the team in points (11.8) and rebounds (8.2) per game.

Kaylin Venick, Trinity: When Trinity was desperate to find scoring with Riley DeRubbo recovering from a knee injury, Venick was instrumental in providing those points. The sophomore finished with an average of 10.1 points, shooting 40.1 percent from the field.
