Willow Canyon senior center Chloe Lobmeyer earned the 5A Central Region player of the year awards this basketball season, averaging seven points, nearly 13 rebounds and slightly above three blocks a game.
She will continue her career in college, with plans to sign April 29 to play for Yavapai College in Prescott next year.
This turn of events is surprising for reasons beyond her on-court improvement, her senior year being her first full season of high school play or even her admission that until recently she played the sport mostly because she was agile and 6-2.
