RECORD-COURIER STAFF REPORT
The prep career of Shayna White will be remembered as one of the best in Southeast High School girls basketball history.
On Monday, she acquired one more honor to her list of achievements by being named to the Division II All-Ohio Special Mention team.
White was the catalyst behind the Pirates' Portage Trail Conference County Division championship this season.
Southeast finished with a 13-1 division record and White posted a double-double in all 21 games this season for the Pirates.
In only two years of varsity play, White finished just 32 points shy of 1,000 points (968). The 2012-13 season was the first in the PTC to feature a 22-game schedule. However, the Pirates only played 21 after a cancellation with Akron East was not rescheduled.
On the season, the 5-foot-10 White averaged 18.8 points and 12.4 rebounds per game. Her individual numbers were impressive on their own, but it was White's incredible consistency that proved to be her most memorable attribute.
Two other PTC players were recognized on Monday's Division II All-Ohio list.
Norton senior forward Cara Cook received the highest honors on the Division II team, earning a spot on the Second Team.
Cook was the Panthers' go-to player during a championship season. The 5-foot-8 standout averaged 18.5 points and 10.1 rebounds per game. The versatile Cook was also able to step out and shoot behind the 3-point line, burying 29 on the season.
During her career, Cook helped lead Norton to 70 wins and also eclipsed the 1,000-point milestone.
Meanwhile, Woodridge senior center Lizzie Wilkinson was named to the Division II Special Mention team alongside White.
Wilkinson also topped 1,000 points for her career and aveaged 17.2 points and 10.6 rebounds per game this season. She also owns the Woodridge school record for career blocks.
