Mount Pleasant, IA- The Mt. Pleasant girls’ basketball team held their banquet last night to get together one more time as a team and celebrate the accomplishments of the all the players along with having some fun.
Head coach Curt Watson started off by thanking everyone involved in the program, including his assistant and JV coaches. He stated after the fact how exciting it was as this was the first time in a long time that all the players who finished the season were also able to attend the banquet.
In terms of awards, every player that attended last night received a Varsity Letter and Alexa Fuller and Kynlee White were recognized for being named to the All-Conference Honorable Mention team.
There were some team awards as well and here was the breakdown:
“Kynlee [White] ended up being our leading scorer and we always put her on the best offensive player of the other team, and it was close. I mean, Kynlee deserves this. She played really well for us, and she was always pretty consistent on there. Alexa Fuller was our offensive MVP, and I think she was second or third and scoring on there and she missed like 9 or 10 games for us and came back in the district game and with one leg and that’s the one lasting impression I’m ever going to have of Alexa just being there playing that last district game for us. And then Charice was, if she didn’t have the top offensive player, Kynlee did, and Cherise would also alternate with her and have the next best offensive player and Charice just did an awesome job too.”
That will officially wrap up the 2024-25 girls’ basketball season for the Panthers, but before you know it the November chill will cast upon us a new season of Panther basketball.
