First team
Emerson Hermann, Jr., Monarch — The Coyotes might have another Division-I caliber player in the junior Hermann, who showed shooting prowess all year and at 17 points a game accounted for nearly half of MoHi’s output.
Izzy Hren, Sr., Holy Family — The Tigers win because they hustle, and Hren’s stat line (17.0 points, 9.8 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 4.1 steals) holds up against anyone in 4A hoops. Won Tri-Valley League player of the year.
Ashley Panem, Sr., Fairview — Last year’s BoCoPreps.com player of the year capped her career with a 16.4/5.5/4.1/2.5 line, first team Front Range League honors and recognition on a state-wide level, as well.
Steph Peterson, Jr., Broomfield — Just once did Peterson fail to score in double figures and overall she shot 48 percent from the floor. Had back-to-back games with near triple-doubles at the Fairview Festival in December.
Denali Pinto, Sr., Fairview — The Front Range League’s player of the year and now BoCoPreps.com player of the year, Pinto raised her game considerably to formulate a 18.5/7.1/3.0/2.7 line that included 1.6 blocks a game, too.
Second team
Aspen Dufour, Sr., Frederick — Dufour played in 94 games for her career, and as a senior broke the school’s single-season rebounding record (269 total) and added a 13.0 scoring average. She was a first-team TVL selection.
Whitney Echols, Jr., Longmont Christian — Representing the area’s small schools is Echols, one of just six local girls who approached 400 points for the season. She was also credited with nearly five steals a game.
Helen Gover, Jr., Centaurus — The running enthusiast also has good touch and quick hands on the court, and her 11.7 scoring average and 3.5 steals a game were vital in the Warriors’ second consecutive Northern League crown.
Halle Mackiewicz, So., Legacy — Injuries and a soccer commitment reduced Mackiewicz to just 10 games, but she made a good impression on FRL coaches. Her 15.6 scoring average helped her lock down first-team league honor.
Anna Maher, Sr., Mead — A very good defensive player, Maher led the Mavericks in scoring, assists and steals this year to earn first-team TVL honors. She averaged 13.8 points in 14 league games.
Coach — Chris Mischke, Centaurus — The youthful Warriors may have been clipped in the playoffs before they would have liked, but back-to-back Northern League titles is nothing to sneeze at. Their 13 league wins came by an average of 18.5 point-margin.
