WHITNEY GILES — 5-foot-10, senior, forward, Pleasant Grove: For years she was known as the Vikings' 3-point threat. But this season Giles added a little something to her repertoire, like an inside game, including rebounding. As a result, her team not only made the playoffs but pulled off the upset of the tourney over Fremont. Giles averaged 14.6 points this season while sinking 49 treys.

KAYCEE MANSFIELD — 5-foot-10, junior, guard/forward, American Fork: She's almost perfected the mid-range jumper and has a 3-point quality range. She averaged 13.1 points per game throughout a season that saw her team finish in second at state. She picked up her scoring average to 13.8 for the tourney and finished averaging eight rebounds a game.

Second team

GABRIELLE PINEGAR — 5-foot-6, senior, guard, Timpview: She's the most prolific 3-point shooter in the state, draining 51 long balls this season. She averaged 10.4 points per game with a stingy defense and a knack for getting to crucial rebounds.

MEGAN BISHOP — 5-foot-6, senior, guard, Timpanogos: She really turned into a team leader this season with her sharpshooting skills at 45 treys a game and a knack for running the fast-paced team. Bishop averaged 10.1 points per game throughout the season.

SHANTEL FLANARY — 5-foot-2, senior, guard, Lone Peak: Without her, this team ran out of gas fast. She was the main cog in running both the offense and defense for the impressive Knights. She only averaged 7.1 points per game, but every one of them was clutch.

ASHLEY KUCHAR — 5-foot-8, sophomore, guard, Provo: With 10.8 points per game, she led her team in scoring, but she also dished out an impressive 3.0 assists per game. Kuchar is the key to opening things up for this team and will be for years to come.

AMY KROMMENHOEK — 5-foot-7, sophomore, guard, American Fork: The third member from the Cavemen is their sharpshooter that opens things up inside. She hit 34 treys in addition to averaging eight points. But she knew how to fill a stat sheet with the ability to steal, assist and rebound in the mix.

Third team
