"Brittney did a good job this year and it is nice that she got recognized for her efforts," said CCC head coach Billy Perkins. "I am very proud of Brittney and how she led our team. She is going to be missed on and off the court."

Mitchell played in 22 games and started 17. She was the second-leading scorer with 13.6 points per game. Mitchell led the Raiders in assists (3.3 per game) and steals (2.6 per game).

"Amy is such a good scorer, and I am very proud of her and the time she put in during the course of the season," said Perkins. "She has grown so much and to see her get into a rhythm late in the year was great. Amy grew a lot, both on and off the court."

Jelinek played in all of CCC's 23 games and started 22. She averaged 11.9 points per game and led the Raiders in rebounding with 8.8 boards per outing. Jelinek also led CCC in field goal shooting at 55.7 percent (112-201) and blocked a team-best 13 shots.
