The high school awards continue with Erin Boley, from Elizabethtown, KY, being awarded the the National Gatorade Player of the Year Award. Maya Moore went to Boley's high school to present her the award. Apparently, in addition to her work on the court, academic achievement and other off-the-court activities factor into the designation. Boley has the #1 academic ranking in her class.
For those keeping track of all these various awards, here is where these awards stand (in alphabetical order):
Gatorade national player of the year: Erin Boley (ND)
Naismith award: Jackie Young (ND)
WBCA player of the year: Lauren Cox (Baylor)
Wooten award: Crystal Dangerfield (UConn)
Congrats to all four of the young women on their honors and achievements and look forward to seeing them in the next phase of their respective academic and athletic careers.
Here are a few links on Ms. Boley, one from USAToday/Courier-Journal and one from ND's sports information department, supplied by ND Women's BBball press maestro Chris Masters.
