GIRLS BASKETBALL | 2020-21 UIL All-City Team

Player of the Year

Avrie Douglas, Lubbock-Cooper SR

The heart-and-soul presence for the Lady Pirates, Douglas capped her spectacular career by leading her crew with 15.2 points and 7.7 rebounds a game. She shot 48.1% from the floor and was a gritty factor as a vocal and emotional leader, especially on LCP’s suffocating defense.

Newcomer of the Year

Abbi Holder, Frenship FR

Holder made a major splash in her initial high school season, giving the Tigers 8.6 points, 2.7 rebounds 2.6 assists and 1.6 steals a game. She tied for second on the team with 25 3-ponters made and was a reliable free-throw shooter at 77.4% (41 of 53).

Coach of the Year

Kyle Lovorn, Lubbock-Cooper
