Jeana Michels – Honorable Mention

She wasn’t flashy. Going coast-to-coast for a lay up was a rarity. And, she was never a show boat. What Etna Lady Lion Annaleisa Nadig did do was consistently perform on the basketball court. On a league championship team that was loaded with talent, no one was better than Nadig this season.
