Reynolds leads three Newton girls on all-conference squad

Sophia Reynolds ranked in the top 10 of the Little Hawkeye Conference in at least six statistical categories this past winter.

For her efforts, she earned second-team all-conference recognition for the first time in her career.

The Cardinals had three all-conference players total as senior Cadie Horn and sophomore Alex Garvis both were honorable mention selections.

All-conference recognition is based on statistics inside conference play only. The all-conference teams were recently released to the public after LHC champion Dallas Center-Grimes won the Class 4A title on Saturday.

Reynolds ranked sixth in the conference in scoring at 12.7 points per game. Her 2.8 assists and 2.0 steals per contest both ranked eighth in the league. She also averaged 4.9 rebounds per game, which was second on the team and 11th in the LHC.

She shot 33 percent from the floor, 21.6 percent from 3-point range and 74.1 percent from the free-throw line, which ranked tied for sixth in the league.

Reynolds’ 40 made free throws were good enough for fourth in the conference and she ranked tied for sixth with a 0.6 blocks per game average.

Horn led the Cardinals and ranked fourth in the league with a 6.3 rebounds per game average and her 2.0 blocks per game ranked first on the squad and third in the league.

Horn averaged 5.9 points and 1.0 assists per game while shooting 29 percent from the floor and 59.5 percent from the foul line. Her 22 made free throws ranked tied for 10th in the conference.

Garvis, who is one of the Cardinals’ best defensive players, averaged 2.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.1 steals per game.
