Andrea Koeper

School: Jackson

Sport: Basketball

Coach: Ron Cook

Week Report: Koeper scored 18 points in a win against Perryville and 21 in a narrow loss to Notre Dame last week.

Season Report: Koeper, regarded by many as the most complete basketball player in the region, goes for 16.6 points, six rebounds and two assists per game. She shoots 56 percent from the field, 30 percent from 3-point range and 70 percent from the free-throw line. At 5-foot-9, the junior has played all five positions for the Lady Indians.

Coach's Comments: "She's a great athlete at volleyball and basketball," Cook said. "She can hit a jump shot from three which is hard for a lot of girls to do. She's one of our hardest workers in practice. I don't remember a day where she's quit working hard. She has ability to play at the next level. She makes the rest of the players better around her. She's not selfish and she likes to win. She works in the weight room and she's one of the best athletes I've ever coached."
