3 Centre girls named to all-league team

Shelby Pankratz was the team’s second-highest scorer, averaging 7.2 points per game. She made 17 three-pointers. She was third in assists and steals with 1.4 per game. She had 15 blocks.

“Shelby is a good, young all-around player who contributed to our success, especially on the offensive end,” Stahlecker said. “I look forward to having her back for two more seasons.”

Shelby Makovec was dubbed by Stahlecker as “one of the best players in Centre girls’ history.” She was starting point guard for all four years.

She averaged 19.5 points this year and set a season record of 72 threes, breaking her old record of 34. She made 79.3 percent of free throws, breaking a 77.6 percent record set last year by Cacey Simons.

She ended her career as the second leading scorer in Centre history with 1,419 points. She led in assists this year with 3.9, the second highest of all time. also led in steals with 4.2, third highest of all time.

“Shelby makes our offense go with her attacking style and has done so for all four years,” Stahlecker said. “She helped lead us to the state tournament all four seasons of her high school career.”
