The 2019 Dabbelt Report Miami Valley all-area team has been announced! These are the top high school girls basketball players in the Dayton area for the 2018-19 season as selected by Jim Dabbelt, a 30+ year basketball promoter from the region.
Each division will have 20 players named to the first-team and second-team all-area list, and a Player of the Year.
The Dayton area continues to produce so many great players who have the opportunity to advance their game to the next level, showing why it is the best region in Ohio for the most high-level basketball players.
To be eligible for the all-area selection, one major criteria is that a player must play a minimum 11 regular season games. This will allow for small injuries and illnesses that may keep a player out for a few games.
Thank you to all of the players and coaches in the Miami Valley for your continued support to help promote your players. As said earlier…there is no place like Dayton!

PLAYERS OF THE YEAR
Layne Ferrell (Franklin)- Great kid with tremendous skills, can play at both ends of the court. Layne is very multi-dimensional and can score on a defender inside or out. Great passer and solid defender. Can run the floor well and led Franklin to the SWBL title as the leagues top player.
Lauren Hapgood (Oakwood)- She has progressed so much since she stepped onto the court as a freshman. Works as hard as anyone to get better, and it has paid off. Very strong handles, and can shoot from anywhere on the court. Gets to the rim and is nearly automatic at the line, and if you give her a step, she will bomb the three from anywhere.
Mikala Morris (Kenton Ridge)- Nobody rebounds like Mikala. She is strong and aggressive in the paint, and became the all-time leading rebounder in Ohio history. Also surpassed 2,000 career points. Outstanding defensive player with multiple blocks and altered shots. Good short range game.

CO-PLAYERS OF THE YEAR
Courtney Prenger (Minster)- Courtney is headed to Xavier next season after leading the Wildcats to an undefeated MAC season. She is not only a strong force in the paint, she also has a nice outside shot in her arsenal. Great team player and looking to lead Minster to another strong post season.
Sammi Whiteman (Covington)– A great senior year for one of the most explosive guards in the area. Whiteman can do everything on the court; distribute the ball, rebound and is a great floor leader. Made her teammates better, and should shine at the next level.
