Girls basketball: Black River's Riley Kubitz gets All-Ohio honors for second straight year

Riley Kubitz made headlines for four seasons during her quest to become the Black River girls basketball team's career scoring leader. A torn ACL halted her bid to catch the Medina County record of 1,688 held by Buckeye's Tanya Ross, but the awards continued Monday when the senior point guard was named Division III honorable mention All-Ohio by the Ohio Prep Sportswriters Association. Kubitz is believed to be the first Pirate girl to be named All-Ohio twice, as she was special mention as a junior. She averaged 21.1 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 3.8 steals while leading Black River to a 7-5 record in the 12 full games she played. The Pirates were 2-9 otherwise. Kubitz finished her career with 1,397 points, 521 rebounds, 158 assists and 293 steals in 77 games. Former Brunswick guard Ashlyn Dyson was a D-III special mention choice after averaging nearly 20 points for Brooklyn, where she began her career. Included was a school-record 46 points in a 67-26 victory over Medina Christian Academy. Other players selected from The Gazette's 46-school coverage were Keystone's Brooklyn Barber (D-III second), Helayana Houston (D-III honorable mention), Jessica Forthofer (D-III honorable mention), Wellington's Brooke Lehmkuhl (D-III special mention) and Oberlin's Clara McCown (D-IV honorable mention), while the Wildcats' Rocky Houston was D-III Coach of the Year.
