Very nice honor considering the competition ...

Perhaps spiders and snakes and things that go bump in the night frighten Megan Frazee. Opposing basketball players certainly don't.
More often than not, she succeeds. Frazee, the Times-Dispatch's state women's basketball player of the year for 2007-08, performed at a stratospheric level while leading the Flames to a 28-3 regular-season record, Big South regular-season and tournament titles and an 11th NCAA tournament appearance in 12 years. She averaged 18.6 points, 9.5 rebounds and nearly 3 assists per game. She shot 51.1 percent. Being named Big South player of the year surprised no one.Click Here for Full Story
Frazee, far more nimble than her 6-3 frame suggests, was terrific in a loss at North Carolina (18 points, 12 rebounds) and earned MVP distinction in each of the three regular-season tournaments in which Liberty participated, the Big South playoffs included. Her effort in the Big South title game against Radford was epic: 26 points, 12 rebounds and four assists. She scored the game-winning basket from deep in the paint with :0.3 seconds remaining.
Joining Frazee on the Division I first team were Virginia Commonwealth University senior forward Krystal Vaughn; Virginia sophomore guard Monica Wright, James Madison senior guard/forward Tamera Young and Old Dominion senior guard T.J. Jordan. Frazee, Young and Jordan have passed this way before. All were members of last year's all-state first team.
