George Washington is represented on the first team by the duo of Zaniah Zellous and Finley Lohan.

 

Zellous led GW in scoring at 18.2 points and averaged a double-double as she pulled down 12.1 rebounds per game to go along with 3.8 blocks per game.

 

Lohan averaged 15.1 points, 7.3 rebounds and 4.9 assists per contest.

 

Freshman Kayli Kellogg made an immediate impact for state runner-up Morgantown and earned a first-team spot. She put up 16.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.

 

Rounding out the first team are Parkersburg’s Trinity Balog and Spring Valley’s Allie Daniels.
