The Mustangs and Cougars split the Alger County awards right down the middle, five for each school, after voting by the SCC coaches.

But the biggest award was probably claimed by Munising senior Jenna Matson, who was named both the co-Defensive Player of the Year along with Carney-Nadeau senior Tessa Wagner, and a unanimously chosen member of the league’s First Team.

Two Superior Central players, though, were also double winners — seniors Emma Rutter and Riley Johnson both made the All-Defensive Team, Rutter unanimously, and both also made the league’s First Team.

Also from SC, senior Charlotte Charlebois earned the Free Throw Award.

And from Munising, freshman Bailey Corcoran was named to the league’s Second Team, while sophomore teammate Emerson Crisp made Honorable Mention.

In addition, Mustangs senior Lori Mattson was voted the Individual Sportsmanship Award.

In the team division, Munising won the JV championship in the Large Schools Division.

Other major award winners included Wagner and senior Ashton Hord of North Dickinson sharing the Player of the Year honors, while ND’s Kirk Mattson won the Coach of the Year.
