KILJ — Two area basketball standouts have been honored on the Iowa Print Sports Writers Association All-State teams.
Mount Pleasant junior Andrea Lopreato and Winfield-Mount Union’s Bradie Buffington were both third-team selections.
Lopreato helped guide the Panthers to a terrific playoff win over Fort Madison, while leading the team in nearly every major statistical category.
The senior-to be finished with 21.3 points and 10 rebounds per game, adding four assists, four steals and over a block per game.
She connected on over 53% of her field goals and was much improved three-point shooter in her junior campaign.

Buffington commandeered another terrific season for Mitch Wachs and the Lady Wolves, averaging a team-high 15 points and 9.5 rebounds per game.
Buffington and the Wolves finished their 19-5 falling in the 1A, Region 6 semis to Notre Dame.
