Congratulations!!

Well deserved by all. Leia has really had some impact off the bench. Peyton Ferris won that award also. Kola just got better and better. Darian is just a force of nature. And Coach Bin? Does she only get one-third of her bonus? Good job, ‘Cats. Now, let’s just win the tournament. I’m happy it’s a neutral site and doesn’t give all the advantage to the “winner”, since there are three winners. I feel like NAU would be the only favorite if everybody had to try to find Flagstaff. Now, I like our chances — very much. This may be the best argument for a neutral court from a competition standpoint.

Tori Tori Tori was also the top reserve in the 2019-2020 season.

Somewhat surprised with Beattie’s top reserve award, although well-deserved and happy for her. Closest thing to a snub for the Cats might be Deden not being honored, but I’m biased. Note that Limardo, a full-time starter for three years with more minutes played than anyone not named Darian White, blanked again in the awards arena.

Limardo doesn’t have the paper stats — the fact that she is a relentless space-eating defender who can knock the ball free and run in the open court gets lost. Unless you are a KJ fan and enjoy watching her frustrate smaller guards and wings.
