We just were given a release at press row that said Christ the King senior Lorin Dixon was named New York state’s Miss Basketball by the Basketball Coaches Association of NY.
Dixon is the second straight CTK player chosen Miss Basketball. Former teammate Tina Charles, who is a freshman at UConn, where Dixon will play next season.
Dixon averaged 16.5 points, 8.1 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 3.8 steals per game for the Royals, who were upset by St. John the Baptist in the catholic school state championship last week.
CTK has had some legacy with its Miss Basketball picks, a list that includes Chamique Holdsclaw, Sue Bird, Careem Gay, Charles and Dixon.
