Over the course of the season, Carrington averaged 13 points and 5 rebounds a game, which led her team. She recorded 47 steals this year and was often tasked with guarding the opposing team's best player.

"Her length enabled her to get multiple deflections and her 10 points in overtime against Berea Midpark in early February may have been one of the best individual performances of the season as she willed her team to a senior night victory!" the Westlake Schools said on their website.
