Lady Outlaws earn conference honors

Shae Wyland, Ila Reid, Audrey Corcoran, and Maggie Lutz were all selected to the Mountain Valley All Conference Team.

Junior post Wyland was a first-team pick and was also named to the All Defensive Team. Wyland led the Outlaws with 12 rebounds per game, four-plus blocked shots, and scored an average of six points per game.

Coach Paul Patton said, “Shae contributed in so many ways to the team’s success. It was nice to see the other coaches recognize the positive impact she has on the game. It is also good to see a quiet, hard-working, and humble person like Shae get rewarded for her efforts.”

Reid earned second-team all conference recognition. Reid was a senior captain for the Outlaws and a co-scoring leader with 11 points per game.

Patton said, “Ila is our undeniable leader on the floor and her competitive drive has been a key factor in the team’s success this year. It was great to see Ila have such a strong senior year after having to sit out her junior year due to injury.”

Freshman Corcoran was also a second-team selection, and was the other co-scoring leader with 11 points per game.

“For a freshman to make the all-conference team shows what a special player Audrey is,” said Patton. “As our point guard she had the ball in her hands more than anyone. I’m excited to see what great things the next three years will hold for her.”

Lutz earned honorable mention. She was a senior captain and a player who missed all of last season due to injury.

“Maggie was our best perimeter defender and tasked with shutting down our opponents top guard,” said Patton. “She overcame several injuries over the course of the season to culminate her high school career on a high note.”
