Lauren Avant was in no mood Friday night to celebrate her selection as Division 2-A's Miss Basketball for a second straight season.

With her Lausanne basketball team having just dropped a 42-39 decision to Bishop Byrne in the D2-A girls title game at Lipscomb University's Allen Arena, Avant was anything but overwhelmed after receiving the award.

It's nice," said Avant, a 5-9 junior point guard and Tennessee commitment who averaged 15.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, four assists and five steals per game this season for the Lady Lynx (30-4).

"I'd rather have that state (trophy) more, but, I mean, it's nice. Being recognized is cool, I guess."

Avant was chosen for the award over Harding Academy junior guard Alex Black (14.8 ppg) and St. Andrew's-Sewanee sophomore post Jodie Brown (17.7 ppg, 10.6 rpg).
