Five Montague County basketball players were selected to all-region teams by the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches.
The honors were made public with an announcement on Wednesday.
Bowie junior Chase Hall and Nocona junior Kameron Hill both earned their way onto the TABC Conference 3A Region 2 team.
On the girls’ side, Bowie’s Courtney Brady and Addy Cook were both selected for the 3A Region 2 squad. Saint Jo’s Karla Fernandez attained the 1A Region 3 team.
Brady was also chosen as TABC 3A all-state performer.
“Karla is very deserving of all-region,” Saint Jo head coach Glenn Boerger said. “Karla has been an impact player the past three seasons and was the focus of every team defensively we played.”
Boerger said Fernandez, a 5-foot-7 senior power forward, improved her outside game this season.
“Karla is a great rebounder and she made her team better this year,” Boerger added.
Fernandez, who scored 42 points in a single game this season, averaged 18.2 points per game with 9.1 rebounds, 2.3 steals and 1.8 assists per contest.
Bowie head coach Colby Davis-Pastusek was also thrilled to see Cook and Brady earn honors.
“Courtney and Addy both are well deserving of TABC All-Region,” Davis-Pastusek said. “It’s a testament to their hard work and dedication to our team success. We are very proud of them both.” Read more in the weekend Bowie News.

Nocona got its new press box into place this week at Jack Crane Stadium. The old press box, which was in place for more than 60 years, was taken out in early June and moved to Indian Valley Raceway. The new press box was by the Southern Bleacher Company out of Graham. Athletic Director Black Crutsinger said they looked at a lot of press boxes and decided they liked the one at Lindsay High School and went with that model. Sean Hutson operated the crane from the Hurd Crane Service that put the press box up for Nocona.
