Kelly Frings, Taylor Thomas, Samantha Logic Named to 2010 Wisconsin State
Finals All-Tournament Team - see story below:

Pacesetter Basketball members Kelly Frings (Sr, Pius XI H.S.), Jessica Waldvolgel
(Sr, Wausau West H.S.), and Samantha Logic (Jr, Racine Case H.S.) were all named
to the All-Tournament Team at the Wisconsin Girls Basketball State Finals that were
decided March 25-27 at the Kohl Center on the campus of University of Wisconsin in
Madison.

Frings led the Lady Popes of Pius XI H.S. to the Division 1 Championship while
averaging 12 points and 6.6 rebounds in her team's three victories over Verona,
Vincent, and DePere.  The 6'1" forward also showed off her shooting range converting
on a sizzling 7 of 11 attempts from behind the 3-point arc.  But it may have been her
unquestioned senior leadership and vocalness that carried the most influence in leading
her team to a surprising state title.

Waldvogel took her game to a new level in literally willing her Wausau West team
into the semifinals.  For her two games she averaged 20.5 points, 6 rebounds and converted
on six 3-pointers in the two games.  But few will ever forget her dramatic 26 foot 3-pointer
that sent the quarterfinal game against Middleton into overtime, where the Lady Warriors
prevailed 53-48 in the final's most dramatic game.  She then scored 21 of her team's 36 total
points in a semifinal loss to DePere.  The 5'9" guard was a unanimous selection.

Logic had without a doubt the single best individual performance of the entire tournament
in her team's 68-62 quarterfinal loss to three-time defending state champion Vincent H.S. of
Milwaukee.  The 5'9" guard scored 32 points, grabbed 7 rebounds, and added 3 assists,
4 blocked shots, and 7 steals.  Her 13 made field goals were one off a state tournament
record and her gritty play and determination won over the entire Kohl Center crowd as they
gave her a standing ovation for her efforts when she fouled out with under a minute to play.

All Three players were also recently selected to the WBCA Division 1 All-State 1st Team
which was announced during the tournament.
