Baxter's Tuhn earns first team all-conference recognition
Mar. 3—Baxter junior Emie Tuhn was the only Bolts player to start a varsity girls basketball game before this season. And only a handful of others had even played in a game.
It was a learning season mostly for the Bolts and despite a tough year on the hardwood by the team, Tuhn persevered to a first-team all-conference selection.
The Iowa Star Conference South Division released its all-conference squad recently and Tuhn earned a spot on the top team for the second time in her career.
