A dream season for Crosby-Ironton, which led it to the Class 2A State tournament for the first time since 2004, earned the Rangers three spots on the Brainerd Dispatch All-Area First Team.
C-I freshman Tori Oehrlein led the area in points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocked shots to earn All-Area Player of the Year for a third straight season. C-I senior Hannah Compton, who transferred from Legacy Christian Academy, was a nice running mate for Oehrlein and shot 39.8% from 3-point range, which was third-best in the area.
Wadena-Deer Creek made a surprise run to the Section 8-2A Final as an 11-seed to earn two players on the All-Area First Team.
WDC senior Madison Carsten was second to Oehrlein in scoring at 17.9 points a game. WDC eighth-grader Payton Gravelle was second to Oehrlein in rebounding at 12.2 rebounds a game.
Pequot Lakes lost to C-I in the Section 7-2A Finals and earned three players to the All-Area First Team.
