Mustangs, Fillies Celebrate Basketball Season

Posted

HUNTINGDON (April 22) — Huntingdon’s Fillies and Mustangs celebrated the 2022-23 basketball season during the end-of-season banquet on Saturday, April 22 at the Huntingdon Church of Christ.

The Fillies had one of the best seasons in recent history and started the season 19-1 and ended the season 24-7. Coach David Wilkins said the Fillies were certainly a top 5 Class 2A team, even though they failed to make the top eight state championship teams in Murfreesboro. The ladies have developed championship habits and shared the ball while on the court. The team averaged 75 points per game and had over 80 points in five contests and over 70 in 14 contests.

The team split wins with McKenzie, the Class 1A state champion, and lost to Westview, and competed head-to-head with the repeat state champion in Class 2A.

Award winners were: Best Free Throw — Lilly Kee — 114 of 149; Most Assists — Annabelle Singleton 3.1 average per game, 97 total; Highest Field Goal — Lilly Kee — 65%, 232 of 356; Best Rebounder — Lilly Kee — 8.3 rebounds per game, 256 total; Kee had 583 points this season; Most Steals — Annabelle Singleton — 94 total, 3.4 per game average.

Most Improved was Annabelle Singleton; Best Team Mate — Sydney Anderson, voted by the team; Most Versatile Player — Sophie Singleton; Heart Award - Lia Fuller.

Lilly Kee — All-District Team, All-Region, All-District Tournament; Lia Fuller — All District Tournament; Sophie Singleton — All-District; Annabelle Singleton — All-District Team; Delaney Byars — All-District Team.

The Mustangs competed in one of the toughest Class 2A districts in the state, said Coach Porsche McClerking. He noted Huntingdon is one of the smallest 2A schools.

Awards presented included: Rookie of the Year — Caleb Ezell; Hustle Award - EJ Lewis; Sixth Man — Kaleb Pearson; Most Improved Player — Tysen Willis, Coach’s Award — Sydney Vinson, Defensive Player — Landon Gordon, Primetime Player — Ethan Ramsey and Most Valuable Player — Ty Kelley.
