Warren Native York Signs with Houghton Women’s Hoops
(Houghton,
N.Y.)—Kaylyn York—a guard for Section VI, Class C champion
Frewsburg Central School—has signed a letter of intent to play
women’s basketball at Houghton College next year.
York averaged 13.1 points and 2.8 assists per game last
year, earning CCIAC Division II All-Star First Team honors for
the third consecutive year. Frewsburg went 21-3 (13-1 in the
league) and won the Division II league championship.
“We are excited to have Kay joining our program,” said H.
“Skip” Lord, Houghton’s head coach, “She has been a leader in a
well-coached winning program.”
York leaves Frewsburg with a pocketful of school records.
She is first in total assists in a career—177 in 63 games (2.8
average)—and set marks in free-throw and three-point field goal
shooting accuracy. She also holds the single-game scoring record
of 34.
“She has a great understanding of the game, sees the
floor well and makes those around her better,” added Lord, “She
knows what it means to work hard on the court and in the
classroom. There is no question that Kay is the kind of person
spiritually and socially that we want associated with our
program as well.”
York is the daughter of Jeff and Kim York of Warren, Pa.
She intends to major in adolescent education at Houghton.
The Highlanders enjoyed a 15-12 overall season record and
advanced to the quarterfinals of the American Mideast Conference
tournament in 2007-08.
