She answers to "Heather," "Lady Shaq," and after this season add, "Buffalo News Player of the Year."

When it came to play underneath the basket, there was no equal this season to Heather Turner, a 6-foot center for Mount Mercy. Her coaches nicknamed her Lady Shaq because she controlled the middle in her league much the same way Shaquille O'Neal, the 7-foot-1, 340-pound Los Angeles Lakers all-star, does in his.

"That name I got last year from my coaches," said Turner. "They said I played like Shaq, always going to the boards and going back up with it. And I'm one of the bigger girls in the league. Being compared to Shaq is great. I watch them and see what he's doing. He's a great player."

While she turned in plenty of impressive individual performances, she was most satisfied by what her team did this season -- reaching the Class A Catholic state finals and repeating as Monsignor Martin Association champions.

The Magic reached the state final game largely because of Turner, who had 23 points and 16 rebounds in a semifinal victory over Notre Dame Academy of Staten Island.

She had 22 double-doubles in Mercy's 28 games, averaging 16 points and 11 rebounds.

"If I coach for 30 more years, I'll never have another kid like her," coach Chris Massey said. "We lost two first-team all-Western New York players last season and Heather put us on her back and we rode her all the way to the Class A state championship. She got beat down, got a bite mark, got pinched, held down, but had big games every single night."

Turner has made an official visit to Wagner College and she will visit Manhattan.

The 20th annual All-Western New York team was chosen by The Buffalo News with an assist from the area's top coaches, area college coaches and officials.

Nardin senior Jamie Wolff made the first team for the second year in a row. Turner and Wolff are joined on the first team by junior Mary Kate Wilson of Mount Mercy, senior Kourtney Troutman of Pine Valley and junior Shannon Scarselletta of Nichols.

First team

Jamie Wolff, Nardin: Wolff has played four years of varsity basketball and played on the area's best AAU team, but those weren't her only influences. "I learned everything from playing in my driveway with my dad, brothers and neighbors," she said.

Wolff learned her lessons well as she finished her career with school records for most points (1,124) and three-pointers (200). She's the first player from Nardin to reach 1,000 points. She had 86 threes this year, helping her score 427 points (18 ppg.) She shared MVP honors of the Monsignor Martin Association with Turner.

Wolff has impressive shooting range, and an unrivaled cross-over dribble. She carries a 94 average and was named to the WNY All-Academic team. She's considering St. Lawrence, the University of Rochester and St. John Fisher.

Kourtney Troutman, Pine Valley: No doubt Troutman is this season's most accomplished player with a second New York State title to her credit. Troutman was named the state's Class D Player of the Year for the second year in a row after she scored 17 points in the state finals against Madrid-Waddington.

Troutman ends her career fourth on the Lady Panthers' all-time scoring list with 1,422 points, and she ranks seventh all-time in single-season points with 436. She averaged 16.8 ppg, 8.6 rebounds and 5.1 steals as her team finished 25-1. Perhaps her most impressive stat: 580 career steals.

"What makes her great is her ability to rise to the occasion," said coach Tim Nobles. "She is not the best shooter, ballhandler, rebounder, or passer that we have ever had at Pine Valley. But she has always gotten the big score, rebound, steal, or made the big pass. She gets the job done, especially in the big games."

She carries a 96 average and was named to the WNY All-Academic team. She's considering Elmira College and William & Smith.

Mary Kate Wilson, Mount Mercy: Her ability to score inside and out and play ferocious defense makes Wilson the most complete player in Western New York.

She scored plenty of big baskets and always guarded the other team's top scorer. She averaged 14 points and had a 30-point game against Holy Angels.

"Some can't believe she's only a junior because she plays so physical and she has senior leadership," said coach Massey. "This is a kid who loves to be on the floor, loves to play the game and loves to play defense."

She's a National Honor Society member who carries a 98 average.

Shannon Scarselletta, Nichols: She can shoot the 15- to 17-footer and also goes to the boards strong. She was third team All-WNY last year. Playing on a tender ankle most of the season, Scarselletta was the leading scorer for a Viking team that finished 14-9 and finished runner-up in the state in the Alliance of Independent Schools Tournament. She averaged 16 points, 13 rebounds and five blocks.

She had a 25-point game against Holy Angels and earned MVP honors of the PAL Cataract Tournament in Niagara Falls. "She's a player," said coach Bob Torgalski. "She's strong, athletic, she's got a couple good moves inside. She can sky. She's a good rebounder, and she goes back up strong."

She scored 1,400 on the SAT exam and is ranked in top 10 in her class.
Second team

Maria Scaffidi, Holy Angels: Her steady backcourt play led Angels to a berth in the New York State Class C Catholic finals and a 22-7 record. . . . Scaffidi was at her best in the big games as she tallied a team-high 16 points in the season-ending loss to Our Lady of Mercy at St. John's University. She averaged 13.3 points and three assists per game . . . Also named to the WNY All-Academic team. . . . "She is so fast and so quick, she changes direction and she's fearless on the drive," said coach Fran Snyder. "In one of the Nardin games they counted and she hit the floor 15 times."

Gabbie Richardson, Amherst: Used her strength, instincts and skills to dominate the middle. . . . Had a season-high 34 points against West Seneca West in the Indians' Tip-Off Tournament. Was named MVP at West Seneca and Mount St. Mary Tournaments. . . . A starter since eighth grade, she enters senior year with 1,361 points. Scored 486 points this season averaging 22.1 points, 12.8 rebounds. . . . "Gabbie's biggest thing this year was she was in shape. She could run every single game for us," said coach Joanna Tower, whose team finished 15-7. "Her conditioning was awesome."

Maryjane DiCenzo, Springville: The Griffins won 18 of 20 games and the ECIC III for the second year in a row with DiCenzo at the point. . . . Three-year starter who averaged 12.2 points, 6.8 assists, 6.8 steals and 7.3 rebounds. Holds school records for career assists (353), steals (408) and is second all-time in points (849). . . . Carries a 94.8 average and was named to the WNY All-Academic team. Considering Miami of Ohio and St. John Fisher for business. . . . "One of her strongest assests is (she) sees the floor so well," said coach Liz Strait. "She does not pick up her dribble until she has to, and she does very well against double teams. Just an all-around player and a go-getter."

Allison Boehm, Sacred Heart: A lot was asked of Boehm this season and she delivered. . . . Led her team to an 18-5 record, which included wins over Mount Mercy and Nardin. . . . Was MVP of Tournaments at Iroquois and Sweet Home. Despite being the obvious go-to person on her team, she averaged 16.4 points and 6.7 rebounds . . . Carries a 3.3 average and was named to the WNY All-Academic team. Considering St. John Fisher and SUNY Cortland for sports management.

Sarah Bogardus, Fredonia: The CCIAC I Player of Year and broke her own school mark for most points in a season with 484. . . . Averaged 19.3 points and nine rebounds. "Almost all of her points last year came from within six feet. But she's made a concentrated effort to improve her outside game," said coach Carol Zirkle. . . . Had 19 points in nonleague loss to Mount Mercy. . . . Fredonia's 17-8 record included the Section VI Class B title and a berth in the Far West Regionals. . . . Carries a 92 average.

Martin Association titles and four straight appearances in the state Catholic final four. Averaged 10 points, including a 22-point game against Nardin. Led Magic with 40 three-pointers. . . . Has committed to Genesee Community College, where her sister, Christine, played. . . . "Liz has played with a world of talent, and this year she finally got her turn to lead the team. I often call her my assistant coach," said coach Massey. . . . Carries a 93 average.

Cierra Hawkins, Hutch-Tech: Poured in 30 points in a 65-63 win over Bennett in a game that ultimately decided the Canisius Cup championship. . . . Gifted athlete who makes everyone around her better. . . . Averaged 19.5 points, 14.5 rebounds and shot 71 percent from the free-throw line as the Engineers finished 14-2.

Meghan Macguire, Grand Island: Macguire had plenty of big games, but none were bigger than the 17 points, including four three-pointers, she had against Olean in the Class A final.

Carries a 3.97 average.

"She would get 5-6 offensive rebounds a game. She had a knack of knowing where the ball was coming off," said coach Diane Fegatilli. "She's got a really quick first step, and she explodes to the basket." . . . The Falcons (11-12) finished strong with sectional wins over Frontier and Orchard Park. . . . Three-year starter. Also plays soccer and runs track.
