Bjorklund named AP Wash state player of the year

SEATTLE -- Angie Bjorklund will head to Pat Summitt's program at Tennessee as one of the most decorated girls' basketball players ever from the state of Washington.

Having already picked up nearly every award, Bjorklund added her second-straight Associated Press Washington girls player of the year honor on Friday. The senior at Spokane's University High School was also named the Class 4A player of the year, edging out Kentwood's Courtney Vandersloot for both honors.

Bjorklund, who was named to the Parade Magazine first-team this week, averaged 24.9 points this season and completed her career as the league's leading all-time scorer, for boys and girls.
