Two Orcas High School students received All-League honors for basketball this March. Junior Lana Bronn received “Honorable Mention,” and sophomore Bella Nigretto was awarded All-League first team honors, which is given to the top five players in the entire league, as voted by league coaches. She was one of the top 11 to 15 players in the NW1A2B League, a great accomplishment considering we have a very competitive league, said Coach Tim Hance.

“It’s cool that two people from a little island got these awards,” Nigretto said.

Both girls said they were surprised to receive such recognition. Nigretto attributes their accomplishments to good leadership, focus, communication with teammates and dedication.

“And a good coach to represent you,” added Bronn.

All-League honors were determined by NW1A2B coaches, who met on March 6 in LaConner, Wash.
