Mosqueda-Lewis and Stokes named to WBCA game

UConn signees Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis, a 6-foot wing from Mater Dei High in Santa Ana, Calif., and Kiah Stokes, a 6-foot-3 post out of Linn-Mar High in Marion, Iowa, were among 20 high school seniors selected to play in the WBCA High School All-American game.

Brianna Banks, a 5-9 guard at Fayette County High in Fayetteville, Ga., who was selected to play in the McDonald's All-American game along with Mosqueda-Lewis and Stokes did not make the cut for the WBCA game which will be played on April 2 in Indianapolis.

Speaking of Mosqueda-Lewis, her Mater Dei squad will face King in the first round of the CIF Southern Section I-AA tournament on Thursday. Barring a major upset, Mater Dei would play either Warren or Schurr in the second round on Saturday. A potential semifinal opponent would be the Long Beach Poly squad which is handed Mater Dei it's only loss of the season while Brea Olinda, the top-ranked team in the country, is on the other half of the bracket.

Banks and Fayette County will play Dutchtown on Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the quarterfinals of the Georgia Regiona 3-AAAA tournament.

Jim Fuller, i am confused and seek some clarification.
.
I thought that Iowa did not nominate Kiah Stokes for the McDonalds All-American game.
.
But yet she is playing.

I never reported that otherwise I would have clarified that information but either it was a clerical error by the McDonald's people or the committee put her on because they felt she was deserving of the honor regardless of whether she was on the list of candidates.
