Mosqueda-Lewis Named Naismith Player of the Year
Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis, who will join the University of Connecticut women's basketball team next year, has been honored as the 2011 Naismith National High School Basketball Player of the Year as announced by the Atlanta Tipoff Club today. Mosqueda-Lewis is in her senior year at Mater Dei High School in Santa Anna, Calif.
Winners were selected by the Atlanta Tipoff Club's Board of Selectors, a collection of leading basketball journalists from around the country, based on their on-court performances over the course of the season.
The two award winners will be honored at the Atlanta Tipoff Club's Naismith Awards banquet presented by AT&T on March 21 at the Georgia International Convention Center in Atlanta.
Among those also being honored that evening are Cheryl Miller, Dick Enberg and Dominique Wilkins Jersey for their outstanding contributions to women's and men's basketball.

"It's always exciting to watch the top high school basketball talent compete on the collegiate stage," said Eric Oberman, Executive Director of the Atlanta Tipoff Club." To have both Naismith National High School Basketball Players of the Year go on to help defend the NCAA Championship in their freshman years is really something special."
