Here is the list of our first ever WKVI All-Area Girls Basketball teams. We chose ten players from our nine area schools to comprise a 1st and a 2nd team. The decisions were based off of statistics, team success, and overall importance to the individual’s team.

1st Team:

Patrice McBee 6’3 Sr. Forward (Culver)

Gwen Zehner 6’1 Sr. Forward (Culver)

Stephanie Balon 5’10 Sr. Guard (South Central)

Marissa Hamilton 5’7 Jr. Guard (West Central)

Sarah Redweik 5’6 Jr. Guard (Winamac)

2nd Team:

Ali Zehner 5’5 Sr. Guard (Culver)

Brittany Tetzloff 5’7 Sr. Guard (Knox)

Jordann Frasure 5’6 So. Guard (North Judson)

Jesse Averone 5’7 Fr. Guard (Oregon-Davis)

Justine Kruger 5’7 Jr. Guard (West Central)

Congratulations to these 10 individuals on outstanding seasons!

The Culver Lady Cavaliers (25-2) gave a great effort in their Semi-State game against Fort Wayne Bishop Luers (23-4). Ali Zehner hit three big 3-pointers, as she has all post-season long, to keep the Cavs in the game early on. Patrice McBee and Gwen Zehner provided a great post presence, despite foul trouble to help Culver to a halftime lead. Nicole Carnegie and Whitney Sanders were solid in their ball handling, while Kayla Shaffer gave quality minutes off the bench.

In the end, free throw shooting and foul issues were the final factor as the Cavs were defeated by Luers 47-43. Patrice had a game-high 17 rebounds, and Ali knocked down multiple 3-pointers to keep the Cavaliers in the game. No tears were shed until head coach Tony Scheub let them fly in his post-game locker room speech, where he let the girls know exactly where his emotions were. One thing is for sure, the Culver Lady Cavaliers will be remembered forever, not only in school history, but in the eyes of the Kankakee Valley for years to come.

Holiday Tourney Champs, Bi-County Champs, Conference Champs, Sectional Champs, and Regional Champs, no other basketball team at Culver can boast of such a record. The 2011 Culver Lady Cavaliers will forever be set in our minds as a great championship team, and have set a new standard for ALL future Cavaliers in every sport. Congratulations to the Culver Lady Cavalier basketball team on their historic season!

The Kankakee Valley will be well represented at this weekend’s state wrestling finals. John Glenn senior Cody Strange (39-8) and Culver senior Jeremiah Harvey (41-4) advanced out of the Merrillville semi-state last Saturday. Cody defeated Davon Alwine of South Bend Clay 4-2 in the consolation round to take 3rd place in the 160lb weight class. Meanwhile, Jeremiah continued his dominance of the 285lb weight class  by defeating Damon Howe of Plymouth 8-4 to take 1st place.

Cody will be taking on Heritage Hills senior Tyler Rickenbaugh (47-4) in the first round at state, while Jeremiah will take on Huntington North junior Andrew Mason (37-9).

Be sure to tune-in to Thursday Night Sports talk this week, as well as the Saturday Sportsline, to hear from both of these state finalists. Best of luck to Cody Strange and Jeremiah Harvey this weekend at STATE!!!
