Former Lincoln High School standout Breanna Reisinger will be among three athletes honored Saturday at BC3.

Reisinger, Morgan Jack, and Aslyn Pry, all first-year student-athletes, have been selected as National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Division III All-Americans since December and will be recognized Saturday at the BC3 Field House.

Reisinger is a graduate of Lincoln High School in Ellwood City; Jack, of Knoch High and Pry, of Moniteau.

Reisinger led BC3’s volleyball team in 2021 with 205 kills and Jack, with 635 assists. Pry led BC3 and the NJCAA Division III with 19.6 rebounds per game and was fourth with 23.2 points.

Also of note, a three-sport star who helped Butler County Community College’s volleyball program to win its first two state championships and who has won consecutive governmental elections since, and an out-of-state transfer who helped BC3’s men’s basketball team to a national No. 7 ranking and who became an All-American will be inducted Saturday into BC3’s Charles W. Dunaway Pioneer Hall of Fame.
