Standouts headline IBCA POW honorees
The Sweet 16 is upon us in the girls’ IHSAA state tournament, as last Saturday saw 64 teams whittled down to those remaining 16, with the four teams still remaining in each classification ready to battle it out in their respective semistate games four days from now.
Not to be overshadowed, there were some tremendously explosive boys’ performances as well, with one player eclipsing the 50-point mark.
Pioneer freshman Ashlynn Brooke, Northwestern senior Madison Layden, Brownstown Central senior Ashley Schroer, Gary 21st Century senior Johnell Davis (53 points vs. Attucks), Crispus Attucks senior Sincere McMahon, and Owen Valley junior Stephen Atkinson were selected as recipients for the week of Feb. 10-15 in the recognition program coordinated by the Indiana Basketball Coaches Association.
Brooke is the girls’ winner in District-1, while Davis is the boys’ winner in District-1. Layden and McMahon are the girls’ and boys’ recipients, respectively, for District-2. Schoer is the girls’ honoree for District-3, while Atkinson is the boys’ honoree for District-3.
