Kat Tudor named to the Women’s British Basketball League Team of the Year
The Women’s British Basketball League Team of the Year includes no other than Essex Rebels’ guard Kat Tudor. The Team of the Year awards are voted by each team’s head coaches and captains and few selected media representatives.
The American sharp shooter from Woodbridge, California, had a standout season with the Essex Rebels averaging 18.2 Points, 5.9 Rebounds, 2.1 Assists and 1.6 Steals per game, whilst shooting a remarkable 46.3% from the field.
Tudor has not disappointed in her debut season in the Women’s British Basketball League and has left her mark various league categories across the board:
- 4th in Average Points per Game (PPG)
- 5th in Field Goals Made (FGMPG)
- 7th in Field Goal % (FG%)
- 2nd in 3 Points Made (3PMPG)
- 8th in 3 Point % (3P%)
- 6th in 2 Point % (2P%)
Kat has had an outstanding season with the Essex Rebels and has never scored in single figures, yet scoring 15+ points in 15 out of the 20 regular-season games. One standout performance was against Manchester at home, where she nearly broke the Essex Rebels’ single-game scoring record with 37 points, sinking seven three-pointers.
Kat Tudor commented:
I’m honoured to be named to the WBBL team of the year. This season has been a such ride — I would just like to shout out my teammates and my coach for making it so special, I wouldn’t be receiving this award without each and every one of them. Up the Rebs!
Head Coach Ash Cookson also chimed in, praising Tudor’s outstanding performance and well-deserved recognition with the Team of the Year honours:
Kat has been a class act all year both on and off the court, and her contribution has brought the Rebels to uncharted territory. I’m am very proud of her performances this season and she has shown her quality in her ability to score in bunches on the court. Maybe more importantly, Kat has shown a level of professionalism and a will to win that has helped to shape our culture throughout the season.
