Austin Prep Girls Basketball

Congratulations to the 2026 NEPSGBA Defensive Players of the Year across all classifications. These student-athletes set the tone every night by disrupting offenses, protecting the rim, jumping passing lanes, and taking on the toughest assignments in the conference. Voted on by opposing coaches, this recognition reflects the respect earned from the very teams they battled all season long. Class AAA – Serenity Lancaster, New Hampton Class AA – Fope Ayo, Austin Prep Class A – Eva Wilkerson, Sacred Heart Greenwich Class B Large – Alannah Baehr, Suffield Class B Small – Leila Portugal Roman, Kimball Union Academy Class C – Alicia Stone, Bancroft Defense doesn’t always show up in highlight reels, but coaches know the impact these players make every possession.
