Five Cards and a Roadrunner make all-POI girls team

Central Decatur juniors Alli Masters and Emma Atwood topped the unanimous honorees of the all-Pride of Iowa girls basketball teams, which proved unsurprising when paired with their first and second team all-state selections by the IPSWA, respectively.

Fellow junior Alliey Boswell joined her Cardinal teammates on the first team.

Boswell’s play around the perimeter resulted in 74 assists, 43 steals, 5.4 points per game and 1.7 rebounds per game.

Interstate 35 sharpshooter Libby Kennedy was voted on to the second team.

She scored 7.9 points per game, knocked down 46 3-pointers, totaled 44 assists, 31 steals and grabbed 3.2 rebounds per game.

Abbie Ridgeway and Erica Kauzlarich also found their way onto the second team.

Ridgeway scored 6.2 points per game, posted 60 assists, 49 steals and 20 blocks. She also grabbed 3.9 rebounds per contest.

Kauzlarich earned a spot on the second team after averaging 5.9 rebounds per game.
