This former Bomber is a basketball All-American
Hailey Turner has steadily improved her game each year during her college basketball career, and was rewarded for her efforts Thursday.
The Lewis-Clark State College junior and Richland High School graduate earned an honorable mention nod on the NAIA Division I All-American team, LCSC announced in a news release.
Turner, a 6-foot-1 forward, helped the 18-13 Warriors by tying for the team lead in points (9.6 per game) while pulling down the second-most rebounds (5.4 per game). She was also named second-team All-Frontier Conference this season and earned recognition by the NAIA for maintaining at least a 3.5 cumulative GPA, majoring in elementary education with a minor in special education.
In high school, Turner earned all-conference honors in both volleyball and basketball during the 2013-14 season.
In the NAIA Division II ranks, Eastern Oregon senior guard Payton Parrish (Grandview) also earned an All-American honorable mention. The sharpshooter broke EOU records for 3-pointers made in a game, season and career, finishing her collegiate career with 1,287 points and 319 made 3s.
