JACKSON – Northwest sophomore guard Averyale Joy wrapped up a standout two-year Lady Ranger career on the hardwood with great recognition on Wednesday, as she was named Second Team All-MACJC.

Joy was the lone representative from Northwest to make the 2016-17 All-MACJC Basketball Team.

The Grand Junction, Tenn., native averaged a team-best 15.4 points and 7.0 assists this season, and for her two-year career, averaged 13.8 points, 6.1 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 43 games (41 starts).

Joy's name will be scattered in the Northwest record books for many years to come. Her .791 free throw percentage ranks second all-time in Northwest history and she's also fourth all-time in career assists (261), fifth in 3-point percentage (.346), 10th in scoring average (13.8 ppg), 11th in 3-pointers made (75) and 12th in free throws made (121).

Joy and teammate Janesha Johnson represented Northwest in the 2016-17 MACJC All-Star Game in Decatur.
