Camden Shunk (junior) was back with the Hilltoppers this season after missing the previous season with a knee injury. She was a big presence for the Hilltoppers inside.
Camden used her height and a nice little left hook to be the team’s 4th leading scorer (3.5 pts/game). She was the team’s 3rd leading rebounder (3.5 rebs/game) and 4th in deflections.
Camden was our defensive communicator on a team that developed into a really nice defensive unit.

Kohynn Young (junior) was a team captain for the Hilltoppers this season. She is an “energizer” for the team. She did a lot of the “dirty work” for the team… diving on loose basketballs, getting jump balls, getting extra shots by getting offensive rebounds, and just bring intense defense!
The team would most often pick up on Kohynn’s energy and follow.
She was the team’s 3rd leading scorer, 2nd leading rebounder, 2nd in steals and 3rd in deflections.
