YODER – Two Cyclones and two Lady Cyclones earned all-conference honors, highlighted by Emily Buchanan, named to the All-State team for the second straight season.
Buchanan, Southeast girls’ lone senior, was the only Cyclone to reach that level by unanimous selection for the second year in a row. Buchanan led the Lady Cyclone scoring drive in seven straight games in both regional and state tournament play, averaging 17.1 points per game. She also led or tied for the lead in assists over the past seven games.
“Emily has meant a tremendous amount to this team over the past four years,” coach Jennifer Scheer said. “Emily leads more by example. She is a hard-nose player who will never not give you every ounce of effort she has. You cannot replace somebody like that.”
Hailey Anderson joined Buchanan on the 2A Southeast All-Conference team. She was Southeast’s second or third leading scorer in tournament games. Anderson also had a big impact on the boards, averaging 9.1 per game. In the final game of the season, Anderson recorded a double-double, racking up 13 points and 10 rebounds.
“Hailey is a rebounding freak. She has found her niche and it’s rebounding,” Scheer said. “I’m expecting a lot from her over the next two years.”
