GV's Sirrine selected Northeast Lakes District D-VI Coach of the Year

Zach Sirrine was selected the Northeast Lakes Coach of the Year for Division VI in girls basketball.

In the regular season, Sirrine guided the Mustangs to a 19-3 overall, 13-1 Northeastern Athletic Conference mark, and a conference championship.

In the postseason, the Mustangs defeated Springfield 44-34 for a sectional final win.

GV advanced to the district tournament for the first time in 11 years, and set a single-season school record with 20 victories in the process.

"It has everything to do with the girls," Sirrine said of the honor. "It's a reflection of much hard work they put in."

First-team Ashtabula County-Madison selections were Madison sophomore Gianna LaMarco in Division III (20 points per game); Edgewood junior Carly Kray (23.5 ppg.) D-IV and Grand Valley junior Cloe Turk (14.0) and freshman Riley Rowland (13.1) D-VI.

Second team choices consisted of Edgewood senior Annie Johnston and junior Faith Vencill in D-IV; Pymatuning Valley junior Mckenna Jordan, D-V and GV sophomore Bre Rowland, and Saint John freshman Milani Johnson, both D-VI.

Madison freshman CC Alley, in D-III, and Conneaut senior Alexis Kiser and junior Alexis Warner, D-IV, were among the D-III third-team all-district selections.

The honorable mention all-district teams included: Geneva senior Tahkyah Myers and freshmen Isabel Stocker and Elli Burns, Madison sophomore Maddie White and Lakeside senior Daneja Holley and sophomore Elyzah Maunus in D-III; Jefferson seniors Abby Feick, Dani Furman and Leah Valenti, D-VI; Pymatuning Valley senior Sadie Paul, D-V and Saint John freshman Riley Ann Hatfield and seniors Marissa Arrieta-Williams and Alexa Jordan, D-VII.

The Northeast Lakes All-District girls basketball teams are picked by OPSMA members from the Ashtabula Star Beacon, cleveland.com, the News-Herald in Willoughby, Chronicle-Telegram in Elyria and Morning Journal in Lorain.

The All-Ohio teams will be announced after the conclusion of the boys state championships during the week of March 23.

The Northeast Lakes All-District girls basketball teams include players in schools from Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake and Lorain counties.
