GIRLS FIRST TEAM
PLAYER OF THE YEAR: IRIS DOMEBO, LAPWAI
Why she is Player of Year: Voted the All-Idaho Player of the Year for the second straight season, the 5-9 junior guard helped the Wildcats win back-to-back state titles. Domebo averaged 13.5 points, 8.7 rebounds, 5.3 steals and 5.2 assists per game.
Coach’s comment: “She commands double teams at times, and all coaches know they have to prepare for her play,” Lapwai coach Eric Spencer said.
What others are saying: “Smart, athletic, sacrifices personal stats for team wins,” Genesee coach Brandon McIntosh said.
What’s next: Domebo returns for her senior season with a chance to win three state championships in a row.
