It was easy to spot the player Olivia Hackmann was guarding this basketball season.

You just had to look for the player with obvious frustration etched on her face.

Hackmann's efforts on the defensive end didn't go unnoticed as the Helias senior has been named the Class 4 Girls Player of the Year by the Missouri Basketball Coaches Association.

"An award like that is not something you think of winning," Helias coach Doug Light said. "But Olivia is certainly deserving because she's a tremendous player."
