Two Indians earn all-MAC

The Indians came up short in their bid for back-to-back conference championships.

The Midwest Athletic Conference still honored a handful of Indians on Wednesday.

All Vaughn and Kierra Wendel were both named all-MAC first team, the conference announced Wednesday.

Whitley Rammel was named second team and Paige Fortkamp earned honorable mention.

Vaughn led the Indians with 11.4 points per game, which was 10th overall in the conference. She also averaged 5.9 rebounds per game, which was tied for ninth in the league.

Wendel put in 10.2 points per game, was second on the team with 21 made 3-pointers and her 2.7 assists were also second on the team. Her 54 total helpers ranked 10th in the MAC.

Whitley Rammel averaged 8.4 points per game (she missed five contests), which was fourth on the team, and her 7.5 rebounds per game were a squad best.

Paige Forktamp led the team with 30 made 3-pointers and was third with 9.3 points per game and 5.5 rebounds.

Fort Recovery, which begins tournament play at 7 p.m. tonight at home, finished the year 14-6 and 6-3 in MAC play. The Minster Wildcats, who won Division IV state championships in both 2018 and 2019 and were heading to the state tournament in 2020 before it was canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic, were a perfect 9-0 in the MAC to win the conference championship.

Minster’s Ivy Wolf, who has signed to play with Miami (Ohio), was conference player of the year, and Wildcat coach Mike Wiss was coach of the year.
