Obviously Dana deserves the honors, but I’m glad Kasa was recognized. Her game just keeps getting better. She’s become instant D. But she’s now got that 15’ jumper down which makes her very dangerous! Confidence with her is the key and she’s feeling it.

Dana was our only representative on first, second and honorable mention teams-Walz must be a helluva coach, easy Coach of the Year selection, no wait he wasn't!

 

[KozmasAgain]

I was thinking’s no the same thing only one player on the 1st & 2nd team combined and we won the regular season championship and go 20-2 overall.

Exactly. I guess Dana did all by herself. We should have another player on one of those three, but we probably did not have many players who were as consistent night after night all season long like Dana so I have to assume those players from other teams demonstrated that.

It’s clear the Cards still aren’t getting any respect. But we’re use to that.
