Most of the girls on the All-Netters team are going places. The All-Netters team is the top 10 players in the WPIAL and is picked by the MSA Sports staff. This year’s team has seven players going to Division I colleges, including one who is going for softball.

The team includes three players who scored more than 2,000 points, and all four WPIAL champions are represented.

Here is a look at the player of the year, and the first and second teams of the All-Netters.

FIRST TEAM

PLAYER OF THE YEAR:  Brenna Wise, Vincentian Academy
6-1, Sr., G-F

What a career it has been for Wise. She never knew what it was like to NOT win a WPIAL title. She has been a starter since her freshman year and the Royals won four consecutive WPIAL titles. In her time, Vincentian has a record of 113-8 heading into the PIAA Class A final Saturday.

When Wise was a freshman, she was mainly an inside player. But she expanded her game considerably the past two years, and now does everything from scoring inside to making 3-pointers. She is one of the few players in WPIAL history to score 2,000 points and also grab 1,000 rebounds.

This season, Wise is averaging 20 points a game. For her career, she has 2,284 points, which places her 16^th on the all-time list.

Wise already has signed with Pitt and Panthers coach Suzie McConnell-Serio has said she expects her to be an impact player as a freshman.

Alayna Gribble, Norwin
6-0, Jr., G

It was unforgettable season for Norwin as the Knights won a WPIAL title for the first time in school history and also made it to the PIAA semifinals. Gribble was a driving force in the Knights’ success as she averaged 18.6 points a game. She already has accepted a scholarship from William & Mary.

Chassidy Omogrosso, Blackhawk
5-5, Jr., G

Omogrosso is very much like Vincentian’s Wise. Both players have enjoyed a great deal of individual success as well as team success. Omogrosso heads into the Class AAA state championship game Saturday with 2,661 career points, which is seventh on the WPIAL’s all-time list. She needs 18 to pass McKeesport’s Swin Cash (2,678) and move into sixth place.

Omogrosso led Blackhawk to the WPIAL title for the second consecutive year. She is averaging 27.2 points and has close to 300 career 3-pointers. She will play next season at Duquesne University.

Claire Oberdorf, Greensburg-Salem
5-7, Sr., G

Basketball is not the only sport where Oberdorf has excelled. She is a talented soccer player and will play softball next season at Marist.

Oberdorf played hardball with many basketball opponents. She scored 45 points in one game. She was one of the leading scorers in the WPIAL this season with an average of 26.7 and finished her career with 1,529 points.

Lexi Posset, Beaver
5-7, Sr., G

Beaver had an excellent season, making it to the WPIAL quarterfinals and the second round of the PIAA playoffs. The Bobcats relied heavily on Posset as she averaged 22.2 points a game. She will play next season at Division I Rider.
 

SECOND TEAM

Amanda Kalin, Pine-Richland
5-8, Soph., G

Pine-Richland had a sophomoric attitude this year. Kalin is a sophomore and had a big season for the Rams. She averaged 20.1 points a game. She also is an excellent soccer player.

Sammie Weiss, McGufey
5-11, Sr., G

Weiss was a terrific scorer for McGuffey and led the Highlanders to spots in both the WPIAL and PIAA Class AAA playoffs. Weiss finished this season as one of the leading scorers in the WPIAL at 25.6 ppg and she finished 12^th on the WPIAL all-time scoring list with 2,394 points. She will play next season at California University of Pa.

Cassidy Walsh, Seton-LaSalle
5-9, Sr. G

For four years, Walsh had a steadying influence on the Rebels. Seton-LaSalle played in the WPIAL Class AA title game all four years Walsh was the starting point guard. She won three titles. Walsh averaged 12 points a game this season and finished her career with 1,143 points. She will play next season at Pitt.

Sydney Bordonaro, Burrell
5-7, Sr., G

Burrell had the greatest three-year run in school history, making it to at least the WPIAL Class AA semifinals each year. Bordonaro was one of the primary reasons for the Bucs’ success. A point guard, Bordonaro had more than 1,000 career points. This year, she averaged 19.6 points a game. She will play next season at Pepperdine University in California.

Conor Richardson, Carlynton
5-10, Sr. G

Richardson helped Carlynton win 20 games this season. A versatile guard, Richardson averaged 17 points a game. She will take her talents to Duquesne University next season and be a teammate of Omogrosso.
