Bella Nigretto has made All-State and the Westside 2B Girls All-State basketball team.

She has been invited to participate in the Washington All-State girls basketball games in Spokane, Wash. on June 23.

Selection to the All-State team is determined through athletic directors, head coaches, and local media. Players must be All-League MVPs or 1st Team All-League to be considered.

Nigretto had the following statistics from the 2011-12 season.

Total points: 290; average points per game:15.3; total rebounds: 84; average rebounds per game: 4.4; assists: 25; steals: 51.

“All statistics are quite impressive, considering Bella Nigretto was double-teamed much of the season by opponents,” coach Tim Hance said.

Lady Vikings honored

The Washington State Officials Association voted and awarded the “Overall Sportsmanship Award” to the Orcas High School Lady Vikings basketball program.

“ This is a tremendous honor and an award never before received by the OHS Lady Vikings Basketball Program,” Hance said.

The award also comes with a $1,000 scholarship to a senior team captain. Vikings captain Kathryn Tidwell will accept the scholarship on behalf of the team.

The Washington State Officials Association also voted on individual teams’ sportsmanship. The Vikings junior varsity team took first place and the varsity team took second place.

“These honors speak volumes about the character, pride, and spirit of the 2011-2012 OHS Lady Vikings Basketball Team,” Hance said.  “No matter what the score or opponent, the Lady Vikings Basketball team strived to leave everything on the court, to never give up or relent, and to leave every game as winners in the true sense of the word.”

There will be an awards banquet on March 31 at Skagit Golf and Country Club where the Lady Vikings will be presented with these awards and Tidwell will accept her scholarship.
