CHARLESTON — Buckhannon-Upshur’s Alyssa Abel has been selected to the Class AAAA all-state second team.

The multi-sport senior standout went over 1,000 points for her career this past season for the Lady Bucs.

Wheeling Park senior Alexis Bordas was named the captain of the 50th annual West Virginia Sports Writers Association all-state first-team.

The first-ever three-time Gatorade Player of the Year capped her storied career this season by becoming the all-time leading scorer in Wheeling Park history with 2,606 points. She set an Ohio Valley record for career-three-pointers made (367), with 94 coming this season alone.

Bordas set a single-game school record with 58 points against Buckhannon-Upshur on Jan. 18 behind 13 made threes (also a school record.)

The Duquesne signee averaged 34 points, six rebounds, and four steals per game this season, accounting for nearly 61% of her team’s scoring during the regular season with 748 of the Patriots’ 1,229 points, all while leading her team to the Region I finals.

2025 State Champions Allie Daniels and Sophi Hutchison of Spring Valley were each honored with first-team selections after an outstanding title run.

Morgantown High duo Kayli Kellogg and Sadaya Jones were given all-state honors for the second consecutive season.

Another pair of MSAC players joined Daniels and Hutchinson, as JayCee Elzy of St. Albans and Jeriyah Pryor of George Washington earned first-team recognition.

John Marshall junior Rilee Storm was named to the first team, while after leading their teams to Charleston, a pair of EPAC seniors round out the Class AAAA first team with Spring Mills’ Kilah Dandridge and Washington’s Mary Rivera.

Spring Valley’s Brooklyn Ellis, University’s Hannah Stemple and Bri Fox, Woodrow Wilson’s Abby Dillon, St. Albans’ Samaya Rigan, George Washington’s Rayana Breckenridge, Parkersburg’s Frances Guice and Kennedy Porter, Buckhannon Upshur’s Alyssa Abel, and Hurricane’s Alex Anderson, were named to the second team.

Wooden plaques in the shape of West Virginia that include the player’s name, school, licensed WVSWA logo, and year of the honoree are available to all-state first-team, second-team, and honorable-mention selections and can be purchased from the Bear Wood Co. through WVSWA.org or Bearwoodcompany.com.
