The road to Williams Area kicks off this week with the first girl’s basketball games of the season getting underway. Using statistics from last season as a basis, the leaderboards listed below, project those returning players who could make a substantial impact for their teams this season.

Five players reached 600 points for the season including Kaylee Kennedy, Lindsey Theuninck, Halley Busse, Ayoka Lee, and Kiley Borowicz. Kennedy achieved this milestone due in part to a staggering 29.8 points per game for Littlefork-Big Falls.

After a third place finish in the state tournament last year, Mountain Iron-Buhl looks to make a return this year led by Chelsea Mason and Mya Buffetta. Both players had outstanding totals last season with Mason recording 19.6 points per game (No. 17), and 215 assists (No. 1), and Buffetta ended the year with 130 assists (No. 5).
