BEAVER — Post-season honors keep stacking up for Bella Posset.
Posset, a senior who led the Beaver girls basketball team to its first ever appearance in a WPIAL championship game, was named a first-team Class 4A selection on the Pennsylvania all-state team.
Posset, the second-leading scorer in Beaver history with 1,615 career points, has already been named Most Valuable Player in Section 2-4A, The Times' Girls Basketball Player of the Year and a member of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Fab 5.
"It's an amazing feeling," Posset said Tuesday afternoon when learning about her all-state honor. "I dreamed of making (The Times') Player of the Year and the Fab 5, but making all-state is just an amazing feeling. It's an honor to be considered one of the best players in the state. I couldn't be more blessed to get it."
Posset, a Robert Morris recruit, averaged 19.7 points per game this past season for the 19-7 Bobcats.
Posset is believed to be the first basketball player from Beaver, boy or girl, to earn first-team all-state honors. In 2009, Carly Vendemia was second-team all-state.
"Bella deserves this," said Beaver coach Greg Huston. "I'm glad she's finally getting this recognition because she's been doing this for so many years. And for the way she played this season for us, she was just amazing. She's a special player and I'm so happy for her. She deserves any honor that comes her way."
Poseet wasn't the only girl from The Times' coverage area to make the all-state team. Blackhawk guards Mackenzie Amalia and Mady Aulbach were named to the second team.
Amalia, a sophomore, averaged 17.0 ppg per game for Blackhawk (19-4), which lost to Beaver in the WPIAL semifinals. Aulbach, a junior who's a Youngstown State recruit, averaged 16.0 ppg for the Cougars.
"That's just awesome," Blackhawk coach Steve Lodovico said. "I'm so happy for them. To have two girls make second-team all-state says a lot about those two girls and our program. They both had great seasons, and I'm glad we'll have them both back next year."
The all-state teams were chosen by a vote of sports reporters from across the state who cover high school basketball.
