Jadyn Trocki was unquestionably the best girls basketball player in the area this season.

An argument can be made that she was the best in New York state.

On Monday, the New York State Sportswriters Association named Trocki the Class C Player of the Year for the second straight season. The junior guard’s numbers certainly backed up the choice. In 26 games on the way to the Bears’ second straight New York State Public High School Athletic Association championship, Trocki averaged 21.3 points, 5.3 assists, 4.4 steals, 4.9 rebounds and 1.8 blocked shots per game.

The all-state recognition for Trocki comes on the heels of her being named to MaxPrep’s Small Town All-American sixth team in late April.
