shots.
• "She's a gym rat," said CWL head coach Wade Stobbs. "She's constantly in the gym or asking for the keys."
• A threat both inside and out, the 6-0 Stevens made 31 three-pointers and shot 42 percent from the field overall.
• "Her ability to post up and score with her back to the basket, then score outside, opens up so many things for the other girls," Stobbs said.
• Stevens wrestled the Clark career marks for points (1,583) and rebounds (965) away from another player who made her mark at SDSU, Shannon Schlagel (1,518 points, 903 rebounds). Stevens also set school marks for blocked shots (122) and career free throw percentage (73 percent).
• Stobbs is looking forward to being able to follow Stevens' career at SDSU.
• "It's a great place to go and one heckuva program," he said. "To have Chynna playing at that level that close is great for us, too."
• Cross was an inside force for Tri-Valley, averaging 13.2 points and 7.6 rebounds per game. The 6-1 post also averaged 2.1 steals and 3.1 blocked shots per contest, and shot 61 percent from the field.
• "She is one of those posts that, if you get the ball to her, she's tough to stop," said Tri-Valley head coach Jeff Breitkreutz. "She patrols the middle well. We told our other girls not to worry about the inside because Allison could take care of it on her own."
• The only first-team selection who does not plan to continue her basketball career in college, Cross has signed to play volleyball at Mount Marty College.
• "She wanted to be a nurse like her mom," Breitkreutz said. "She's serious about her studies."
• McCarron's move from the perimeter to inside paid off for Sioux Falls Christian, which made its first state tournament appearance since 1986.
• "She could score from anywhere," said Chargers head coach Andrea Begeman. "The last three years, she's been more of a guard. This year she moved inside, and it didn't change her scoring ability."
• The 5-11 McCarron finished with 20.1 points and 10 rebounds per game. She still drifted outside to hit 19 three-pointers, and helped the Charger defense with her 51 steals and 26 blocked shots.
• "She was on track to break the school (career) three-point record before this season, but it wasn't a concern for her," Begeman said. "She was concerned about making state for the first time. She did whatever was asked of her."
• McCarron will keep her talents in Sioux Falls, moving on to Augustana to join a Vikings program that made the NCAA Division II national semifinals this year.
