NEW YORK STATE BOYS BASKETBALL: WOODRING WAVERLY'S FIRST-EVER FIRST-TEAM ALL-STATE SELECTION (2020-04-16)
Valley Sports ReportWAVERLY "” Waverly senior Scott Woodring posted historic numbers this season on the hardwoods, and Thursday became the first player in program history named first-team all-state Class B by the New York State Sportswriters Association.
Woodring averaged 26.3 points and 14.8 rebounds per game this season, as well as 2.2 blocks and 1.4 steals. He scored a school-record 552 points, and shot 56.9 percent from the field.
"Scott's postseason accomplishments are very well deserved and unprecedented," said Waverly coach Lou Judson. "Making first team all-state is one of the best honors a high school athlete can achieve.
"I'm extremely proud to have been able to coach Scotty," noted Judson. "He was a great teammate, a leader, always enjoyable to be around, and extremely thoughtful. He continued to motivate me to be a better coach.
"Scott will be a player 25 years from now that people will still continue to have conversations about - he made that much of an impact, not just in basketball but community-wide," added Judson. "Scott certainly left his mark on the Waverly basketball program and raised the bar even higher for many players to come."
He finished his high school career with 1,083 points, 682 rebounds, and a school-record 39 double-doubles in 51 games this season.
Since its inception in 1968, the only other Valley player to receive first-team boys basketball honors was Tioga's Jim Ryder after the 1987-88 season.
