Bay Port's Ellie McDermid has been selected as the state's top senior post player as part of the WSN Basketball Awards. 

McDermid is an interior presence who impacts the game with her ability to score inside and from the perimeter, rebound, and block and alter shots on defense. 

The 6-3 forward averaged 15.5 points, 8.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.6 steals, and 1.8 blocks per game for coach Adam Lemorande and the Pirates, which finished the season with a 7-18 record.
