Morgan Banasik of Prairie du Chien, Breanna Gaspervich of East Troy, Dilonna Johnson of Dominican, Emily Neitzel of Lomira, and Deysha Smith-Jenkins were repeat selections on the 2012 Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association Division 3 All-State Team.

The rest of the team included Kelsey Collins, Richland Center; Kylie Moxley, Brillion; Emma Roenneburg, Adams-Friendship; Sydney Tepley, Racine St. Catherine's; and Taylor VanderPlas, Ripon.

Banasik was a big reason Prairie du Chien qualified for last year's D3 state tournament and wrapped up her outstanding career by averaging 16.5 points per game this season. The 5-9 senior guard finished her career with more than 1500 points and helped the Blackhawks to a second place finish in the SWC this season, earning First Team all-league honors for the third time.

Collins was the Player of the Year in the SWC after helping the Hornets to a perfect 10-0 record in the league and 22-4 record overall. The 5-5 senior averaged 16.1 points per game, shooting 48.4% from behind the three-point line as Richland Center advanced to the state quarter-finals.

Gaspervich is one of the state's most exciting players, using her outstanding speed and quickness to wreak havoc all over the court. In leading the Trojans to the state semi-finals this year, the 5-6 junior averaged 20 points, 4.9 assists, and 6 steals per game.

Johnson was one of the state's top point guards this year, averaging 15.4 points, 4.5 assists, and 3.9 steals per game for the Knights. The 5-7 senior set a new school record for three-pointers made in a season while connecting on 42% of her shots from behind the arc.

Moxley helped the Lions to an outright title in the always tough Olympian Conference this season. The 6-0 senior forward averaged 18.9 points per game as Brillion finished 23-2 overall.

Neitzel did a little bit of everything for Lomira this season, helping the team to a fourth straight Flyway title and 22-2 record. She led the team in virtually every category, averaging 11 points, 7.4 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 3.5 steals per game.

Roenneburg's huge freshman season is a big reason the Green Devils claimed a South Central title, went unbeaten during the regular season, and advanced to the sectional semi-finals. The 6-0 forward averaged 15 points per game in her rookie campaign.

Smith-Jenkins, a three-time First Team All-State pick, was one of the most versatile and athletic players in the state this year in helping Dominican to a 22-2 record. The 5-10 senior UCONN track recruit averaged 14.6 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 4.2 steals per game and was a terror on defense with her length and athletic ability.

Tepley developed into one of the state's top post players as a senior, averaging 21.4 points per game for the Angels. A 6-2 forward, Tepley helped St. Cat's to a 17-8 record that included an upset win over Dominican in the regional finals.
