1A Division II All-Idaho girls basketball team | 2023-2024
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: HAILEY TAYLOR, KENDRICK
The pick: Balance was essential to the Tigers’ run to a state championship, and the 5-6 senior point guard served as their consistent leader. Taylor averaged 11.5 points, 4 assists, 3 steals and 1 rebound per game. She was chosen as the Whitepine Player of the Year.
Coach’s comment: “She can shoot the long ball, and she can drive and dish. Her defense is top-notch. She was the guard and controls the offense very well,” Kendrick coach Ron Ireland said.
What others are saying: “She played great defense, was very quick and finished well at the rim. She was tough to guard because of her ability to both shoot well from outside but also drive hard to the goal,” Dietrich coach Charley Bingham said.
What’s next: She has tryouts with Columbia Basin and Blue Mountain.
RHIANNA IVESON, COUNCIL
The 5-4 senior point guard moved up from the second team last season after helping the Lumberjacks advance to the state semifinals. Iveson contributed 16.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.1 steals and 2.7 assists per game and was named the 1A Division II Long Pin MVP.
KENADIE KIRK, DEARY
When the Mustangs needed an inside presence, the 5-9 senior guard came through, leading the team in rebounds while also running the point. Kirk averaged a double-double of 13.1 points and 11.5 rebounds per game while adding 4.4 steals, 2.3 assists and 1.7 blocks.
HAYDEN CORTA, NORTH GEM
Even though the Cowboys didn’t make state this year, the 5-7 senior point guard caught the attention of coaches throughout Idaho. Corta, a four-year starter, finished with 1,119 career points after averaging 17.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 3.1 steals in 2023-24.
KASEY HENDREN, RICHFIELD
