Five Shamrocks Get Postseason Honors

Five Shamrocks were named to postseason honors Thursday following the completion of the season for all schools.

Emma Craig was named unanimous First Team All-Conference and All-Conference Defensive Team. By her senior year, she got to the point where she was a threat to have a double double every time out, regardless of the strength of the opposition. She went beast mode in North Harrison’s win over Tri-County. Under her efforts, North Harrison won 15 games and was in most of their games this year. She got her 1,000th point this year. She will be missed.

Camden Castleberry was named Second Team All-Conference. Coach Aaron Long had been looking for her to score more, and she did, getting into double figures regularly by January, with a high of 20 against Grundy County. She will return next year.

Jayliegh Robins was named Second Team All-Conference and All Conference Defensive Team. She was one of the leaders on the team in assists and steals and was constantly on the floor diving after loose balls. She is a sophomore and will only get better.

On the boys side, Brett Emig was named Unanimous First Team All-Conference. He was a constant threat to push the ball up the court anytime he got a defensive board. Against Mercer, the night after Jerry Armstrong passed away, he put together a performance Armstrong would have been proud of, scoring 41 points and getting 16 boards. He will be missed.

Wade Briggs was named to Second Team All-Conference. He can shoot from anywhere from 30 feet in, stretching out defenses and fueling North Harrison’s offense. He will return next year.
