Franklin County senior guard Brooklynn Miles and Paul Laurence Dunbar Coach Nick Runyon took top honors as 11th Region girls’ basketball player and coach of the year, respectively, as voted on by coaches who announced the All-11th Region Team for the 2021 season on Friday.

Miles, a Tennessee commit, is among 16 candidates up for Miss Basketball this year and like Runyon has also been given top region honors by the Kentucky Association of Basketball Coaches earlier this year in a separate vote. She averages 16.6 points 4.4 rebounds and about six assists per game for the Flyers.

Runyon, in his sixth season as the head girls’ coach at the school he graduated from, led the Bulldogs to a 14-4 record this season..

Due to COVID-19 precautions, the players and coach will receive their plaques via their schools instead of at next week’s 11th Region Tournament.
