IBS NAMES ALL STATE TEAM FOR ILLLINOIS LARGE SCHOOL GIRLS 3-6-10
Springfield, IL (March 6, 2010) - - Illinois Basketball Services (IBS) recently named its Illinois Large School Girls All State Team for 2009-10.
A 6’ Oak Park Fenwick senior, Tricia Liston, shared IBS Illinois Large School Player of the Year honors with 6’3” Lombard Montini senior Michala Johnson.
Liston, a Duke signee, led her team to a 3rd Place finish in Illinois 4A with her 28.2 ppg and 6.2 rpg. She also shot 57% from the field and hit 87% of her foul shots. She poured in a career best 43 points in a single game this season. “Tricia is a true team leader and has been a force at the high school level,” said Jason Speaks, Director of IBS. “She has a high basketball IQ and is a big reason why Duke arguably has the top recruiting class in the country.”
Johnson, who only played 19 games this season due to tearing her ACL, averaged 16.9 ppg, 11 rpg and 4 bpg for a Montini team that won the Illinois 3A state championship. She scored 1,690 career points despite two ACL tears in her career. Johnson is the only prospect from Illinois to have signed with the powerful Connecticut program. “Despite the injuries, Michala still had a solid high school career and is one of the top prospects in the country,” said Speaks. “She has a lot of quality basketball ahead and you are going to be hearing a lot more about her on the national stage.”
The IBS Large Newcomer of the Year honor was shared by Chicago Whitney Young 5’8” frosh Linnae Harper and 5’9” Chicago Marist frosh Jetaun Rouse. Harper averaged 10.8 ppg for one of the nation’s top prep programs while Rouse quickly took a leadership role for her team, averaging about 18 ppg.
