The 2020-21 Times News/Lehigh Valley Health Network Girls Basketball All-Star team is headlined by three repeat selections - Skyler Searfoss and Leila Hurley of Jim Thorpe, and Erika Dubosky of Panther Valley.

That trio of Schuylkill League players share something else in common, as all three are 1,000-point scorers during their respective high school careers.

Joining them on the First Team are Palmerton’s Brianna Moore, and the Northwestern duo of Ali Lister and Paige Sevrain.

The six-person team has a definite underclassmen theme, as it is comprised of two seniors (Dubosky and Lister); three juniors (Searfoss, Moore and Hurley); and a sophomore (Sevrain).

Below are notes on the First Team members, as well as the names of the Second Team and Third Team selections.

Skyler Searfoss, Jim Thorpe

THREE-PEAT … Searfoss has been on the hardwood for three seasons for the Olympians, and in each of those, has been honored with a first team selection. Searfoss is also a two-time Times News Player of the year, winning the award in 2018-19 and this past season. “She is one of the most tremendous basketball players I have ever seen. Her defensive attitude propels her offensive game, and her selflessness on and off the court makes us a better overall team. She genuinely loves the game, and works hard at her craft each and every day.” – Jim Thorpe head coach Nadia Gauronsky.

SURE AND STEADY … Searfoss has been the picture of consistency in her career for Thorpe. She averaged an impressive 18.7 points per game as a freshman, 15.32 ppg. as a sophomore and 16.5 ppg. this season. She also surpassed the 1,000-point milestone early in the season with a 23-point night against Blue Mountain, and currently has amassed 1,365 career points.

VERSATILE … As always, scoring is what jumps out to most basketball aficionados, but it’s the little things in the game that usually make the most difference. Searfoss does much more than just score for Thorpe. She led the Olympians in assists (3.8) and steals (4.6), and also hauled down 3.9 rebounds per game from her point guard position.

Brianna Moore, Palmerton

RUNAWAY TRAIN … Moore’s ability to attack both offensively and defensively was unmatched in the Times News area this season. Once Moore gets going in the open court, she’s tough to stop, and scored a bevy of points from the Bombers’ full-court pressure defense. Moore averaged an uncanny 5.6 steals per game. “Brianna had a great season; she certainly never disappoints. She makes things happen out there, especially defensively, and then when she gets in the open court, she just has another gear that no one else does. I don’t know if there is any player out there in our area that is more athletic, and on top of that she’s just a special kid.” – Palmerton head coach Dan Beck.

FILL IT UP … Moore was second in the Times News area in scoring this season, averaging 17.2 points per game. She had some big nights for the Bombers, scoring over 18 points in 12 of her 20 games, including a 30-point performance early in the season against Catasauqua. She needs just 118 points to reach the 1,000-point mark.

MOORE THAN SCORES … Moore has done a lot more than just put the ball in the basket this season. She has brought a lunch pail-like effort to the boards, averaging 9.1 rebounds per game, and also averaged three assists per game.

Erika Dubosky, Panther Valley

ALL TIME … Dubosky came into the season with a historic milestone on the horizon, but she had some work to do needing 420 points to be Panther Valley’s all-time leading scorer. All Dubosky did was lead the Times News area in scoring at 18.7 ppg., surpassing the school’s all-time mark in a postseason matchup with Palmerton. Dubosky scored 24 against the Bombers and really turned it on down the stretch, averaging 26.6 ppg. over her last three games. She finished with 1,572 career points. What’s even more impressive is Dubosky was able to claim the all-time school record in just under 90 games. “She’s probably the best girl I have ever coached. She didn’t just score; she did it all out there for us and was able to do so many great things with opposing defenses keying on her night in and night out. She’s a special player, and a special kid. This program is going to miss her.” – Panther Valley head coach William “Dapper” Lynn.

ALL-AROUND … As coach Lynn indicated, Dubosky could do a lot more than just put the ball in the basket. She averaged an impressive 11.2 rebounds per game and collected 1.7 blocks per game. Her ability to always be in position in the rebounding department was key to her capturing the all-time scoring mark.

EFFICIENCY … Dubosky made the most of her opportunities on the offensive end. Her expertise was 15-feet-and-in, but she could also step out and hit the triple, coming through with 20 made three-pointers on the season. She shot 49 percent from the field on two-point field goals, and was also a solid 77 percent from the free-throw line.

Leila Hurley, Jim Thorpe

LEILA EARP … It would certainly be challenging to find a better gunslinger from beyond the arc not only in the Times News area, but throughout District 11 than Leila Hurley. The proof is in the numbers. Hurley has 138 three-pointers made in her career at an impressive 39 percent three-point clip. She led the Times News area this season with 45 triples. “Leila is a phenomenal shooter, and puts a tremendous amount of time and effort into that aspect of her game. She’s a dedicated player, and she’s just a really good teammate, and you can see that by the way she plays the game. She also genuinely enjoys the game. You can also tell that she uses the offseason the right way, based on her improvements over the past three seasons.” – Jim Thorpe head coach Nadia Gauronsky

1,000-POINT CLUB … Hurley surpassed the 1,000-point mark on Feb. 10 at Panther Valley with a 15-point effort. Hurley does like the Panthers gym, as it’s where she set the Thorpe girls’ basketball single-game three-point record with eight in her sophomore season. Hurley averaged just over 12 ppg. as a freshman, led the team in scoring a season ago with 15.82 ppg. and finished second on the team this season, averaging 14.16 ppg.

TO THE RACK … Hurley was primarily a three-point shooter her freshman season, but over the last two seasons has been able to add a dribble drive game to her arsenal. Hurley has collected 191 two-point field goals over the past two seasons, for an impressive 55 percent field goal percentage.

Ali Lister, Northwestern

SIGNAL CALLER … Lister served as the veteran leader of the Tigers this season, especially on the defensive side of the ball with her ability to read and react in Northwestern’s full-court pressure. Lister collected almost four steals per game for the Tigers, using her length and great ball skills. “She really was the quarterback of our team, and a great leader. She always did everything we asked of her, and she’s such a coachable kid. She let her play do the talking for her, and always led by example. Her deflections were key for us on the defensive end, and on offense, she ran the point for us and ran our offense. She really is the total package, and we’re going to miss her.” – Northwestern head coach Chris Deutsch.

DO-IT-ALL … Lister could and did do it all for the Tigers. She averaged 10.9 ppg., 5.1 assists per game and 4.8 rebounds per game. Her ability to excel in all phases of the game was a huge reason for the Tigers’ success this season.

COLONIAL LEAGUE BEST … Although Northwestern wasn’t able to come away with a District 11 championship, it was able to take home gold in leagues, defeating Palmerton for the Colonial League championship. Lister had a terrific all-around performance in the title game, dishing out assists, grabbing rebounds, spearheading the defense, and scoring 11 points.

Paige Sevrain, Northwestern

OPENS IT UP … Northwestern’s 6-1 center, Paige Sevrain, does more than just dominate in the paint. Sevrain is such a matchup nightmare for the opposition that it opens up the entire offense, with teams having to double down and a lot of the times solely due to her presence on the floor. “It’s an underrated thing that people don’t talk about, but Paige’s skill set and offensive ability really opens up a lot of things for us. Not many teams have a player of her size and her skill level. She can play inside, and she can step outside to the elbow and corner and be good there as well. She led us in scoring this year, and she’s just a sophomore, so we’re excited for her future. She’s another one who’s just a great, coachable kid.” – Northwestern head coach Chris Deutsch.

FINDING RHYTHM … It was easy to see Sevrain getting more comfortable in the offense in her second year in the Tigers’ lineup. The lefty was able to extend her game out to the foul line this season and take defenders off the dribble, while also still possessing a solid back-to-the-basket game. Sevrain led the team in scoring this season, averaging 12.58 ppg.

INSIDE PRESENCE … Sevrain didn’t make it easy on teams in the paint on both the offensive and defensive side of the floor. She especially made her presence felt in the rebounding department, averaging right around eight boards per game.
