The 2019 Henlopen Conference champion girls’ basketball team recently held its end-of-season awards banquet at the Crooked Hammock in Lewes.

Head coach Pat Woods praised his players for reaching 11 of 13 goals set for the season. The only goals they failed to reach were to play at the Bob Carpenter Center and win the DIAA State Championship.

He also gave special kudos to his seniors Lexi Watkins and Niya Mosley.

Abbey Hearn and Dania Cannon were named first-team all-conference. They were also named two of the top 15 downstate players. Mehkia Applewhite was named the second team. Lexi Watkins received honorable mention.
