Jackson tops Rd 19's 1st Team
Safsal ,02/18/2006
Ramat Hen's front court shines in this round's 1st team after dominating Raanana Hertzelia, and Ashdod's backcourt also sends two players after their narrow win over Tel Kabir. Lori Nero, Motzkin's consistent forward, completes the lineup of Round 19's first team in which each winning team scored over 90.

Round 19's MVP – Deanna Jackson
Deanna Jackson dropped 31 points in an excellent game in Ramat Hen's huge road win at Raanana, which puts them in great position to finish 3rd or better. Jackson managed to cool off Christon in the 2nd half, and was consistent through out the game as she made 12 of her 22 field goals. Jackson also added 13 rebounds, including five offensives, and helped Ramat Hen dominate the boards and secure the win.

Round 19's First Team
Brandi McCain – Another great game for the fastest PG in the league, this time with 17 points, six rebounds and a league season high 14 assists in Ashdod's tough win over Tel Kabir which guarantees them a spot in D1 next year.

Inbar Vaksman – Ashdod's energetic guard hit two threes early on against Tel Kabir, and played with a lot of passion and confidence. Vaksman hit five of eight threes in the game and defensively, she stuck to Christina Ciocan like glue and held her to 13 points on bad shooting. Vaksman's best game of the season came just in time and was the difference between winning and losing a game that decided who'll be relegated.

Deanna Jackson – Ramat Hen's lefty forward was a blast to watch, and she finished with a double double of 31 points and 13 boards.

Lori Nero – Nero continues to show impressive consistency with 20 points on great shooting including 2 for 3 from downtown, and 10 rebounds in Motzkin's win over Hapoel Tel Aviv.

Amber Hall – It doesn't matter that her shooting percentage en route to 17 points isn't that great, cause pretty much every shot she missed ended up in her team's possession. Hall pulled down 19 rebounds including 10 offensives, and also did a great job on Monique Coker and held her to a season low 11 points.
