A pair of players that played key roles in helping Regina pick up its first state tournament win since 2017 last week were honored with some impressive individual awards on Monday.

Regina guards Morgan Miller and Addie McLaughlin each earned all-state honors from the Iowa Girls Coaches Association when the organization released its postseason awards on Monday.

Miller and McLaughlin were each pivotal pieces of a Regina team that went 24-2 and advanced to the Class 2A state semifinals.

The two Regina standouts highlight a list of five area players to earn spots on the IGCA all-state teams.

McLaughlin and Miller join Liberty High junior Natalie Ramsey and West High junior Grace Fincham and Clear Creek Amana junior Averie Lower as ICGA all-state picks.
