Introducing the 2025-25 Fort Worth Star-Telegram Girls High School Basketball Player of the Year:

Milton had a terrific year with the Panthers, averaging 19 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.5 steals en route to Texas Association of Basketball Coaches All-State honors. Milton and teammate Mecca Crawford, the Star-Telegram’s Defensive Player of the Year, were the only Fort Worth-area athletes in Class 6A to make the All-State Team.

Milton, a Whichita State signee, played a huge role in what was arguably North Crowley girls basketball’s best season. The Panthers made a regional final appearance and tallied a 30-5 overall record with a 12-0 run in District 3-6A.

Milton set the tone for an offense that averaged 62.7 points per game.
