Selland Impresses
A handful of college basketball coaches – including ones from South Dakota State and the University of South Dakota – were in attendance Monday afternoon to watch Sanborn Central-Woonsocket junior standout Myah Selland.
The 6-foot-2 first team Class B all-state player remains uncommitted on her college decision, and as she proved in a 68-47 win over Gayville-Volin, she may be ready for the highest level.
Selland recorded the following stat line: 27 points, 10 rebounds, 9 blocks, 7 assists and 3 steals.
“She’s 6-2 and can handle the ball,” Gayville-Volin coach Matt Malloy said. “There’s a reason colleges like USD and SDSU were here to watch her.”
Malloy compared Selland’s all-around game to that of Viborg-Hurley standout Abby Hora, who Gayville-Volin sees a couple times a season.
“She’s pretty comparable to Abby Hora, but she’s the 6-2 version,” Malloy said. “She’s extremely poised and makes everyone on her team better.”
It wasn’t as though Gayville-Volin was unprepared for Selland’s talents. No, Malloy’s team had practiced for a couple days with Selland in mind.
“But we just didn’t make adjustments on her,” he said.
