Three make all-ACAC
The Patriot girls were back at the top of the conference this season.
Three of their players were honored for their performances on the court.
Renna Schwieterman, Madison Dirksen and Izzy Rodgers were all named all-conference by the Allen County Athletic Conference on Tuesday.
Schwieterman, a sophomore, and Dirksen, a junior, were both named to the conference’s first team, while Rodgers was given second-team honors.
It marks the second straight year Schwieterman has been a first-team recipient. Dirksen was a second-team honoree as a sophomore.
Rodgers received the all-conference nod for the first time.
Schwieterman, a 6-foot forward who already has six NCAA Division I scholarship offers, led the Patriots in scoring with 18.2 points per game. She also paced the Patriots in assists (3.8) and was second in rebounds (6.0), and her sophomore campaign included setting the program’s single-game scoring record with 43 points.
Dirksen, also a 6-foot forward, was second to Schwieterman in scoring with 12.9 points per game, and her 7.3 rebounds per game led the squad.
Rodgers tallied 8.1 points and 2.5 rebounds per game. She led the team with 30 made 3-pointers, and shot 84% (26-of-31) from the free-throw line.
Jay County ended the year 19-4, one victory shy of tying the school record for wins in a season. The Patriots were a perfect 6-0 in ACAC play during the regular season, and won the program’s second conference tournament championship in the last three years and fifth since joining eight years ago.
The Patriots’ only four losses this season came against ranked opponents, including a 50-26 loss to Class 4A No. 1 North Central the second game of the season and a 46-42 setback to No. 7 Hamilton Heights in the Class 3A sectional championship game.
Other first-team honoress were McKenna Dietsch (Adams Central), Sage Hammond (Adams Central), Emme Boots (Bluffton) and Avah Smith (Woodlan).
