Following each of the past three basketball seasons, Paton-Churdan’s Carleigh Paup has been selected to various all-state teams. A new honor came her way this past weekend when the Des Moines Register named Paup to the five person Class 1A all-state team. The shooting guard averaged 24.7 points per game for the 12-10 Rockets, and she totaled 1,833 points over her four years of varsity basketball including 544 points as a senior.
