5A All-Idaho girls basketball team: The top 10 players from the state’s top division
Note: The All-Idaho teams are chosen by each classification’s coaches. The Idaho Statesman hosts the voting process and publishes the results.
PLAYER OF THE YEAR: AVERY HOWELL, BOISE
Why she is player of the year: More than 20 Division I schools have offered the 6-foot junior forward, who set single-season program records for points (551) and rebounds (345). The all-class Gatorade player of the year used her nonstop motor to average 21.2 points, 13.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.8 steals per game.
Coach’s comment: “Avery is easily one of the most competitive kids I’ve had the pleasure to coach, and she encourages her teammates to match her intensity every practice and every game,” Boise coach Kim Brydges said.
What others are saying: “Avery is one of those players that combines athleticism and talent with drive and ambition. She is absolutely relentless,” Timberline coach Andy Jones said.
What’s next: Howell recently tried out for Canada’s U-18/U-19 women’s national team.
TEAGAN COLVIN, COEUR D’ALENE
The 5-7 junior point guard moved in from Washington and made an immediate impact, leading the Vikings to the state championship. She holds more than 30 Division I offers, and she posted 18.3 points, 7.9 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game.
ASPEN CALDWELL, THUNDER RIDGE
The Idaho signee leaves quite the legacy, wrapping up her career on the All-Idaho team for the third time, including back-to-back appearances on the first team. The four-year starter averaged 21.0 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.7 steals as a senior.
PAIGE COFER, EAGLE
Opponents spent all year devising ways to stop the 5-11 junior guard. But her size, strength and athleticism made her a threat all over the floor. She committed to Division I Utah Tech last fall, and posted 16.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.9 steals this winter.
CAPRI SIMS, POST FALLS
The 6-foot senior, a Central Washington signee, was an inside-outside threat who averaged a double-double, stuffing the stat sheet with 20.3 points, 10.1 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.0 blocks per game.
COACH OF THE YEAR: NICOLE SYMONS, COEUR D’ALENE
After missing state last year, the Vikings roared back under Symons for a championship run.
