Keiana Gilbert from Columbia Central has to be considered for this honor. She leads the Lady Lions in scoring and rebounding, averaging a double-double. She is scoring better than 24 a game and snagging just under 12 boards per game. Columbia is 19-3 on the season having played very good competition outside of their district schedule with wins over Knoxville Webb and Riverdale and a last second loss to the #1 team in the country, Blackman. She exemplifies the "team player" and leads by example. She is asked to defend the opposing teams' best player at any position night in and night out, and has proven to be a player that will do the dirty work as well as scoring the basketball. She broke the Columbia Central single-game scoring record twice this year by scoring 42 against White County and then 43 just weeks later. She is nearing the 2,000 point mark for her career having scored 1,746 with 526 of those points being scored thus far this year. Had a great match-up with McDonald's All-American, Riverdale senior Alexa Middleton just after Christmas, I'll let you guys check the stats on that one... Good luck to all considerations on this prestigious award, but more importantly to your teams as the season's end draws near!
