CROTHERSVILLE
Crothersville High School conducted its 2018-19 winter sports awards program Tuesday in the school’s cafetorium.
The Tigers’ girls basketball team finished 12-12 under head coach Kevin Hensley, who recently wrapped up his 10th year of leading the program.
Piper Hensley took home the 3-point and free throw awards on the night.
Outside of her trophies, the senior was selected to the All-Southern Athletic Conference first team and Hoosier Basketball Coaches Association’s All-District 4 team and was an Indiana Basketball Coaches Association Academic All-State honorable mention recipient.
Hensley leaves Crothersville as the No. 4 all-time leading scorer (1,120 points) and holds school records for 3s in a game (nine), season (75) and career (240).
Fellow senior Maddie Riley also made the All-SAC team, and she took home the assists award. Riley finished her career second all-time in assists (272).
A trio of juniors took the other three honors, as Makayla Helt was given the coaches award, Bekah Cook received the mental attitude award and Makinzee Isley earned the rebounding award.
Tiessa Stevens (rebounds), Kennadi Lakins (assists) and Isabell Lewis (free throws) were the recipients of the junior varsity awards.
