The Marion County Athletic Association will soon name its City and County Athletes of the Year, an award that dates to 1950 and grew to include girls’ achievements in 1979. The awards are geared toward athletic achievement, but almost every winner over the years has exhibited impressive credentials in and out of their athletic, academic and personal areas. Generally, multi-sport athletes are given consideration over single-sport athletes, though in some cases a single-sport athlete has been so outstanding that he or she has been selected as the winner.
Last year’s winner was Heritage Christian track and field star Kya Crooke , who is now a freshman at the University of Arizona. Here are the four finalists for City Female Athlete of the Year: Kamrah Banks, Crispus Attucks Banks, a 5-9 guard and Penn State recruit, scored 808 points as a junior and senior at Attucks, averaging 20. 4 points, 4.
9 rebounds, 2. 7 assists and 2. 3 steals as a senior.
Banks, who played as a freshman at Decatur Central and a sophomore at Montverde Academy (Fla. ), scored 1,508 points overall in her four years combined. She was named first team All-City as a junior and senior and was a McDonald’s All-American Game nominee.
