6A All-Idaho girls basketball team: The state’s top 10 players from its top division
Note: Coaches in each classification select the All-Idaho teams. The Idaho Statesman hosts the voting process and publishes the results.
PLAYER OF THE YEAR: BROOKESLEE COLVIN, COEUR D’ALENE
The pick: The sophomore guard more than stepped out of her sister’s shadow, leading the 6A ranks in points (22.6 ppg), assists (5.0) and steals (4.1). She also tied for the lead in blocks (2.1) and added 7.5 rebounds per game to lead the Vikings on another state tournament run.
Coach’s comment: “She brought an unmatched sense of urgency and competitive edge to our team,” Coeur d’Alene coach Stacy Boyd said. “Her presence on the court elevated everyone around her.”
What others are saying: “She absolutely took over in the state tournament,” Capital coach Matt Creech said. “With seven other teams full of great players, her star easily shined the brightest.”
What’s next: She enters the offseason with at least 18 Division I offers.
KAITY HAAN, BOISE
The UC San Marcos signee (NCAA Division II) served as Boise’s emotional leader, carrying the Brave to the finals on both ends of the floor. She nearly averaged a double-double with 11.9 points and a class-leading 9.8 rebounds, adding 2.1 blocks and altering countless shots.
RILEY BECK, OWYHEE
The 6A SIC Player of the Year served as the state champs’ anchor and jack of all trades, stuffing the stat sheet with 12.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.7 blocks per game. The College of Idaho commit controlled the paint but was also a threat on the fast break.
JOSIE DAVIS, OWYHEE
The four-year starting point guard was the straw that stirred the drink for the Storm, keeping everyone connected and in rhythm. The Fort Lewis commit (NCAA Division II) posted 9.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 3.0 steals per game to lead Owyhee to its first state title.
BERKLEY JONES, EAGLE
The driven sophomore took the state by storm this winter, putting up 16.5 points and 6.9 rebounds as 6A’s second-leading scorer. The 5-9 wing was equally dangerous creating her own shot on the perimeter, putting the ball on the floor or mixing it up in the paint.
COACH OF THE YEAR: LUKE SUTTON, MADISON
He built a trademark zone defense that led Madison to a third-place finish at state, its first trophy in 24 years.
