Seiler closes her Wauseon career as the school’s all-time leading scorer. She averaged nearly 22 (21.9) points per game during her senior season.
Second team All-Northwest District from Fulton County was Bekah Bowser of Evergreen. Autumn Pelok of Wauseon garnered third team all-district honors.
D-III honorable mention were Archbold’s Leah McQuade and Addi Ziegler, as well as Kadence Carroll of Wauseon.
