HUMBOLDT — A pair of teammates were the clear benchmarks for both the Humboldt High boys and girls basketball teams this season.
With senior teammates Jada Dangerfield and Jessica Myers leading the way, the Lady Cubs went 12-8 on the season, with both being named to the all Tri-Valley League squad.
On the boys side, sophomore Trey Sommer earned all-league honors, while junior Drew Wilhite received honorable mention by the TVL voters.
Dangerfield averaged a double-double on the season, with 12.5 points and 10.3 rebounds per game. She also averaged four steals and nearly three assists per contest.
Myers was right behind, averaging 10 points and 6.3 boards per game. She also dished out an average of 1.4 assists per contest.
After a slow start, Humboldt’s girls proceeded to win 11 of their next 14 before bowing out in the Class 2A Substate Semifinal round.
AN UNDERMANNED boys squad relied on the bruising sophomore Sommer, who averaged 15.4 points and 7.7 rebounds a contest. He also pulled in a steal per game.
Meanwhile, Wilhite’s solid all-around game was pivotal to Humboldt’s development. He averaged 13.5 points, along with three rebounds, three assists and 3 steals a game.
The Cubs, hampered by injuries and low numbers, went 9-11 on the season.
Both teams bowed out to Pittsburg’s St. Mary’s Colgan in the Class 2A substate playoffs.
