Future Members of Women's Basketball Team Compete in All-Star Game

GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Two members of the Green Bay women's basketball class of 2011 recently competed in the Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association All-Star games held at the UW Fieldhouse in Madison. Taylor Thomas (Wausau Newman) and Ashley Luke (Oak Creek) were selected from a committee of coaches around the state of Wisconsin to compete in the event.

Thomas was a unanimous selection chosen to compete on the Division 5 All-State team. The 6-0 forward led the Cardinals averaging 14.8 points and 5.6 rebounds throughout her senior campaign while shooting over 80 percent from the free throw line. In the all-star game, Thomas led her North squad to a come-from-behind 66-58 win over the South squad while posting a game-high 16 points and nine rebounds. Thomas was 7-for-16 from the field and grabbed three steals on the defensive end throughout 29 minutes of play.

Known as one of the premier post players in the state of Wisconsin, Luke averaged 14.5 points and nine rebounds per contest throughout her senior campaign at Oak Creek while guiding the Knights to a 19-6 record. Luke was selected by the WBCA as a member of the Division I South team. She played 21 minutes while grabbing six rebounds and scoring seven points in the game. A great defender, Luke also had two steals in the contest and went 3-for-5 from the free throw line.

Both Thomas and Luke will join their new Phoenix teammates on campus this fall.
