Player of the Year
Jaimie Kadlecek, Junior, Smithville

Stats: Bastrop County’s leading scorer, averaging 11.4 points per game. The Smithville point guard was second in the county in total assists with 104 and led the county in steals with 110. Kadlecek led the Lady Tigers in scoring in 18 games this season.

Coach Ramsay: Jaimie grew up a lot this year and used her scrappy style of play to lead this team. She got better as the year went on.

Offensive Player of the Year
Jasmine Simmons, Senior, Elgin

Stats: Simmons was the second leading scorer in Bastrop County with 10.4 points per game and was fifth in rebounding with 5.7 rebounds per game and had 61 assists and 48 steals. Simmons was a 1st team All-Bastrop County selection in 2009.

Coach Bowman:  I don’t know where we would have been this season without Jasmine’s contributions.

Defensive Player of the Year
Syndey Snell, Junior, Elgin

Stats: The two-time All-Bastrop County Defensive Player of the Year was the second leading rebounder in Bastrop County with 7.1 rebounds per game, slightly being edged out of the lead by Shelby McWhorter (7.4 RPG).

Coach Bowman: Sydney is, by far, one of the most underrated players in our district. She is a tireless defender and a tenacious rebounder.

Newcomer of the Year
Shelby McWhorter, Junior, Bastrop

Stats: In her first year on the Bastrop girls basketball team, Shelby McWhorter led Bastrop County in rebounding, averaging 7.4 rebounds per game with 244 total. McWhorter was also the second leading shot blocker with 17 total blocks. She also had 61 steals. McWhorter was an All-District 25-5A honorable mention selection.

Coach Bussinger: Shelby is a tough young lady.  She plays great defense and has great instincts for rebounding the ball. She does not have emotional highs and lows and does a great job of keeping the team focused.

Sixth-Man of the Year
Faith Ralph, Senior, Smithville

Stats: With limited playing time and abilities, due to her ACL injury recovery, Faith Ralph fought her way back onto the basketball court after spending most of the year on the bench cheering on her team. Ralph averaged 1.8 rebounds and 1.3 points per game in just 13 games.

Coach Ramsay: Faith was to us, what the 12th man is to the (Texas A&M) Aggies. She worked hard to get back and I am proud of her for that.

Coach of the Year
Jackie Bowman, Elgin

Stats: When Jackie Bowman took over the Elgin girls basketball team five years ago he had just 14 girls on the roster. In five years, Bowman got the Lady Cats back into the playoffs for the first time in 17 years and things keep looking up for the Elgin basketball program. While the Lady Cats may not have had a winning record (15-17), a trip to the playoffs makes the 2009-2010 girls basketball season a successful one.
