“She was a starter and one of our top defensive players,” CM Head Coach Mike Arbuthnot said, reflecting on 2023-2024. “She was one of our main ball handlers and has a nice shot.”

Avery netted two three-pointers in games against Jersey and Teutopolis, so she indeed does have a great outside shot. She also was a leader for CM in steals and was top-notch on defense. Often, she was a leader on fast breaks for the squad with her quickness.

Arbuthnot expects Avery to continue to develop and become an even better player as she heads into the 2024-2025 campaign.

Again congrats to Avery on her honor as a Tom Lane State Farm Insurance Female Athlete of the Month.
