Solon completed its best season in nearly two decades last week with a trip to the state semifinals.

On Tuesday a couple of the players responsible for the Spartans’ success picked up some individual postseason hardware.

Solon juniors Callie Levin and Hailey Miller were each named to the Iowa Print Sports Writers Association Class 3A all-state team when the organization released its postseason honors on Tuesday.

Levin and Miller were the top two scorers for a Solon team that went 23-3, reached the state tournament for the first time since 2006 and won its first game at state since 1998.

The Solon backcourt duo highlights a list of six Your Prep Sports area athletes named to the IPSWA all-state teams.

Levin earned all-state honors for the third consecutive season and was a first-team pick for the second year in a row after leading Solon with 18.2 points, 4.2 assists and 3.7 steals per game.

An Iowa recruit, Levin also averaged 5.7 rebounds per game and shot 41 percent from the floor and 77 percent from the free throw line.

Miller was named to the Class 3A third-team, earning all-state honors for the first team.

The junior guard ranked second on the team in scoring with 11.5 points per game to go with 3.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.9 steals per game.

West High senior guard Meena Tate and Liberty High senior Jasmine Barney were each named to the Class 5A all-state team.

Barney was named to the 5A second team for the second straight season after leading Liberty High in points (15.7), rebounds (6.2), steals (2.6) and assists (2.5) per game.

Tate was a third-team selection in Class 5A following a senior season in which she averaged a team-high 14.7 points, 3.5 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game.

Clear Creek Amana junior Ava Locklear was a second-team all-state pick in Class 4A after helping the Clippers reach the state tournament.

The 5-foot-11 Locklear averaged a double-double with 13.8 points and 10.1 rebounds per game while shooting 48 percent from the field and 65 percent from the free throw line.
