Three Trojans earn honors

Three Whitehall High School basketball players were honored earlier this week with postseason accolades.

One of the best players in school history, junior Max Feight was selected to the all-state team and was also named to the 5B District all-conference first team. Senior Wyatt Alexander was also named first team all-conference. Lady Trojan Asha Noyes was named second team all-conference.

Whitehall boys head coach Zach McLean praised the two-standout players.

"I'm so proud of both of them. They are both very coachable and great young men. They have both put in gym time and it is great to see them get rewarded," McLean said. "Max is one of the most gifted shooters I have ever coached and Wyatt is probably the best athlete I have ever coached."

A sophomore guard, Noyes led the team in scoring averaging 14.2 points per game.

"As a player, Asha has the ability to take over a game," head coach Kelly Nieskens said. "Most coaches when talking about a good player usually say their kid is a hard worker. That really doesn't describe Asha as a player. She practices and plays until the point where she's exhausted. She's a quiet kid that shows up everyday to work hard."

With two more years with the team, Nieskens said that Asha has the potential to grow from a good player to a great player.

"She has the support system at home to do that. It'll all come down to how much time she puts in these next two summers," he said.
