King’s Fork High School forward Amesha Miller continues to climb the hierarchy of individual accolades, while Lady Bulldogs point guard Camary Harris burst onto the regional level of recognition for the first time.

Miller, a junior, was selected to the Group 4A all-state first team, as well as the 4A East all-region first team, and Harris, a sophomore, was selected to the all-region second team.

Lady Bulldogs coach Maurice Fofana convened with some of the top coaches in the state in Charlottesville to vote on the all-state honors, and he was not surprised to see Miller land on the first team.

“I kind of felt like she would, just going into the meeting,” he said.

Last season, she made the all-region first team and the all-state second team.

This year, she carried a lot of support among the top coaches in the region.

“She was the top vote-getter in the all-region meeting,” Fofana said, after noting selections are typically made based on a player’s statistics. He added that stats-wise in the region, Miller “was the best out of everybody.”

For the entire season, Miller averaged 18.5 points, 12.7 rebounds, three blocks and three steals per game.

Fofana was pleased to see her get the state and regional recognition that she did this year, but he noted that he hopes to see her continue to develop and fully reach her potential in her senior year.

“There’s still a lot more that she can produce, that she will produce and she’ll be a much better player next year,” he said.

In terms of individual accolades, there is one kind of recognition she has yet to achieve, and Fofana sees it as being within her grasp.

“She definitely can hit the Player of the Year award at all the levels,” he said, referring to the state, regional and conference levels. “That is the ultimate to go out with that.”

Miller won the Ironclad Conference girls’ basketball Player of the Year award as a sophomore.

While Miller’s repeating as a member of the all-region first team was expected, Fofana said that “Camary making second team was a surprise.”

“I really don’t know what was the determining factor of her not being on first team,” he said. “She was definitely worthy of first team.”

Through the conference tournament, Harris was averaging 11.6 points, approximately seven assists, six rebounds and 5.3 steals per game.

“If we’re going with the top eight kids (in the region), she should have been in the top eight,” Fofana said. “If you’re going just based off of what she did in the region, definitely she should have made it.”

In the Region 4A East quarterfinals, she contributed 22 points, 10 assists and seven steals to King’s Fork’s 67-48 victory over host Jamestown High School.

Despite the Lady Bulldogs’ 72-54 regional semifinal loss to host and defending 4A state champion Monacan High School, she had 26 points, six rebounds, five assists and four steals.
