Fueling Cumberland’s efforts this season were a pair of girls who received All-James River District honors. Junior guard Janaia Trent was named to the first team, while senior forward Sade’ Gregory made the second team.

Trent, who orchestrated the Lady Dukes offense, averaged 14 points, seven assists, five steals and three blocks a game. Gregory stood out for her rebounding and hustle.
