ATLANTA, Ga., March 21 — Postseason accolades have piled up once again for former Luray High School standout Emilee Weakley. The Bulldogs’ all-time leading scorer is now one of the best women’s college basketball players in NCAA Division II. In the last two weeks, the sophomore at Frostburg State University was named First Team All-Atlantic Region for women’s basketball and received WBCA NCAA Division II Coaches All-American Honorable Mention.
The Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) announced the NCAA Division II award winners last Thursday in Atlanta for the 2023-24 season. The WBCA is the professional association for coaches of women’s and girls’ basketball at all levels of competition. Founded in 1981, the WBCA offers educational resources that coaches need to help make themselves better leaders, teachers and mentors to their players; provides opportunities for coaches to connect with peers in the profession; serves as the unifying voice of diverse community of coaches to the organizations that control the game; and celebrates those coaches, players and other individuals who excel each year and contribute to the advancement of the sport.
In addition to All-Region and All-American honors, Weakley was also named the Mountain East Conference (MEC) “Player of the Year” and First Team All-MEC.
The FSU sports website reports: “For the second consecutive year, Weakley led all of Division II in scoring with 25.2 points per game, while pulling down 6.8 rebounds per game as well. While also leading Frostburg in steals with 37, Weakley put up two 40-point games and four double-doubles in the 2023-24 season. In her second collegiate year, Weakley surpassed 1,000 career points, currently sitting ninth on FSU’s all-time scoring list.”
