Five Parry McCluer High School basketball players – three boys and two girls – were awarded all-region honors last week.
For the boys, sophomore guard Langston Cook, the Pioneer District player of the year, was named to the all-region first team. Cook led the Fighting Blues in scoring, averaging 24 points per game, while pulling down 8.3 rebounds per game and averaging 5.7 assists per game, 2.3 steals and 1.2 blocks.
Two of Cook’s teammates, senior guard Braedyn Houck and junior forward Nathan Glass, were selected to the all-region second team. Houck was PM’s second-leading scorer this season, averaging 12.7 points per game and shooting 34.2 percent (51-of-149) from 3-point range. Glass missed much of the first half of the season due to a knee injury suffered in late October during football season, but he was a strong contributor when he came back, averaging 10.1 points per game and 5.4 rebounds.
For the PM girls, a pair of seniors, guard Natalie Mohler and Victoria Hamilton, who plays at both the guard and forward positions, were named to the all-district second team. Hamilton led the Blues in scoring this season, averaging 14 points per game, while Mohler scored 9.2 points per game. Both players were leaders for the Blues throughout their high school careers.
