2010-11 Girls All-District team
First team
Beka Bellhy, Fort Cherry
Junior, F
Versatile playmaker and two-time first-team pick led PIAA Class A quarterfinalists with a 14.4 scoring average and scored 13 or more points in all but one of Fort Cherry’s seven postseason games.
Emily Hansen, Canon-McMillan
Senior, G
The first Girls Player of the Year from Canon-McMillan and only the Big Macs’ second 1,000-point scorer averaged 16.6 points in her final season. A two-time first-team selection.
Jessie Merckle, Fort Cherry
Junior, PG
Possibly the area’s most improved player and quickest point guard, Merckle averaged 11.1 points per game and frequently hit double figures in assists and steals.
Geena Shrader, Monessen
Junior, G
Shrader, a two-time first team selection, topped 1,000 points during Monessen’s playoff run and she averaged 16.1 for a team that finished 25-2 and returns every starter next year.
Amanda Temple, Avella
Senior, G/F
Temple accomplished something no girls player from Washington County did since Burgettstown’s Jamie O’Donnell in 1998 – she led the WPIAL in scoring. Temple averaged 21.9 points.
Second team
Shannon Flament, Charleroi
Junior, G
Flament missed two games for Charleroi and her absence led to one of the Cougars’ two losses. She averaged 14.1 points.

Whether it was guarding the opponent’s top player, scoring or rebounding, she could provide as she averaged 10.3 points.

Sophomore, F
The 5-10 Balzer paced an balanced offense for a young, emerging team and averaged 10.9 points.

Morgan Iacovino, Charleroi
