Hartselle’s Taylor, Priceville’s Wheeler make Alabama-Mississippi All-Star team

Hartselle’s Moriah Taylor and Priceville’s Kathleen Wheeler have been selected to play in the annual Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Basketball Games. The games, which are set for March 15, will be played at Alabama State’s Acadome in Montgomery.

Taylor, who has signed with Georgia State, led Hartselle to the Northwest Regional Final, where the Tigers lost to Carver-Birmingham. She finished her career with 2,195 points and has been named a first-team All-State selection three times and a second-team selection as a freshman.

She played a key role as a freshman in Hartselle advancing to the state tournament, and she led Hartselle to the regional final last year, where the Tigers lost to eventual 6A state champion Hazel Green.

“I am grateful for the opportunity to play in the All-Star game,” said Taylor. “I am excited to be playing with several of my friends and another GA State signee, Taylor Henderson.”

Wheeler, who signed with Samford, led Priceville to the Northwest Regional Tournament, where the girls lost in overtime to eventual 4A state champion Rogers. She finished her career as Priceville’s all-time leading scorer with 2,044 points while also pulling down 945 rebounds. Her career averages were 16.2 points and 7.5 rebounds per game. She was named first-team All-State as a junior and senior and was a third-team selection as a sophomore.

“I could not be happier for Kathleen,” said Priceville head coach Terri Nelson. “Being selected to the Alabama-Mississippi All-Star game is a wonderful accomplishment. She is the first girls basketball player from Priceville to receive this honor.

“Our team, our school and our community have enjoyed every part of Kathleen’s journey,” added Nelson. “She will be a legacy for years to come, with young girls chasing after her records. We cannot wait to see her continue her career as a Bulldog at Samford.”
