Priscilla Williams of Branson is the Suddenlink Missouri Player of the Year, adding to a growing resume for the Syracuse-bound star.

In January, Williams was named to the McDonald's All-American Game (since canceled due to the coronavirus outbreak), making her the fifth Missouri player ever to be chosen for the game.

Williams earned the honor after a spectacular senior season where she averaged 27 points and 11 rebounds per game. ESPNW has her pegged as the No. 11 prospect in the Class of 2020 nationally.
