She finished with a school-record 1,585 points and was named to the Laurel Highlands All-Conference team for a second consecutive season. She also played in the Tribune-Democrat Senior Hoops Showcase as well as the Altoona Mirror Classic.

The daughter of Bob and Paulette Skyles of Sidman, she plans to major in elementary education with a minor in special education.
VOLLEYBALL
Schmidt set to play at Juniata
HUNTINGDON – Amanda Schmidt, a standout at North Star High School, has decided to continue her academic and athletic career at Juniata College, where she will compete under coach Larry Bock.
"Amanda is a terrific student and a wonderful athlete,”Bock said. “She comes to us from one of the top volleyball programs in the state at North Star and she should immediately impact our team’s ability to compete for more NCAA championships.”
Schmidt earned all-state honors in 2006 and 2007 and all-conference, all-county and all-district honors in those same years. She was also awarded the prestigious AVCA High School All-America award. She was the lone player from Pennsylvania to receive this award. Also on her resume is a distinguished club career as a member of the Johnstown Fire Volleyball Club.
She is the daughter of David and Priscilla Schmidt and will be pursuing a degree in digital media.

Curve game postponed
The Altoona Curve’s final game at Reading was postponed by rain on Monday.
