ESCANABA — Two members of the Big Bay de Noc Black Bears and one member of the Hannahville Soaring Eagles earned Northern Lights League First Team honors this week.

Alix Bleau — who was named player of the year — and Camryn Pederson were both named to the first team from the Black Bears.

Bleau, a sophomore, averaged 15.6 points per game this season with 3.8 rebounds and 2.3 steals per game. She was 40% on 3-point field goals.

“Alix is a versatile scorer that can drive the lane, post up or shoot the three,” said Black Bears coach Bob Pederson. “She is a great leader and defender.”

Pederson, a freshman, had an average of 10.2 points per game, 5.5 rebounds per game and 3.7 steals per game.

She also went 64% shooting free throws.

“Camryn had a motor that wouldn’t and always gave everything she had,” said coach Pederson. “She has great vision and basketball IQ for a freshman.”

Seventh-grader Jenessa Platt of Hannahville rounded out the first team.

Big Bay’s Piper Jones was named to the second team, and Char Sagataw of Hannahville earned an honorable mention.

Starting at $4.00/week.
