POPLARVILLE, Miss. — The MACCC Champion Pearl River women's basketball team placed five players on the MACCC's All-Conference lists that were released Tuesday morning.
Jazmine Jackson (Jacksonville, Fla.; Andrew Jackson) was named First Team. Natasha Barnes (Chicago, Ill.; Kenwood Academy), Paris Gilmore (Youngstown, Ohio; Warrensville Heights) and Mikayla Riley (Tupelo) earned Second Team. Sydney Lewis (Upper Marlboro, Md.; McLean School) earned Honorable Mention.
"I am super excited for our players to be recognized for their hard work, commitment and sacrifice as the elite among their peers in such a challenging conference with great players from top to bottom," head coach Scotty Fletcher said. "Our overall team record and accomplishments as a team, partnered with quality depth, can sometimes overshadow stats that reflect the type of player we have on our roster. Our style of play and rotation for this team proved night in and night out that anyone on our roster could step up and lead our team in the way needed for us to be successful.
"Jazz, Riley, Paris, Natasha and Sydney continue to cement their name and legacy in the record books, rightfully so. As their coach, it's very rewarding to see their recognition as the largest group we have ever had with receiving post-season accolades, which directly reflects our team's success."
