MVP decembra: Tearra Banks

Sigurno se može pretpostaviti da su na početku decembra retki posmatrači BTravel WABA lige aktualnog vicešampiona Beroe videli kao sigurnog učesnika Superlige Top 8. Na kraju meseca decembra, ujedno i grupne faze, je Beroe svoju kartu za sledeću fazu overio sa tri vezane pobede u kojima je Tearra Banks (188 cm, 1995) imala izniman učinak te je najkorisnija igračica (MVP) BTravel WABA lige 2017-18 u decembru.
Banks je po utakmici beležila po 26.3 poena, 11.3 skokova, 0.3 asistencija i 1.0 osvojenih lopti za prosečni index 30.3 koji je u decembru 2017 bio najviši među svim igračicama BTravel WABA lige. U poenima je bila dvoznamenkasta u svakoj od tri utakmice sa 67% pogođenih šuteva za dva poena te 77% realiziranih slobodnih bacanja.
Banks je druga igračica Beroea sa nagradom MVP meseca, tačno godinu dana nakon što je Monique Reid bila MVP decembra 2016.

MVP for December: Tearra Banks
It is safe to assume that when December started, few if any BTravel WABA League observers had checked off reigning runner-up Beroe as a sure Superleague Top 8 team. As December and group stage ends, however, Beroe has punched its ticket to the next phase with three straight victories that featured extraordinarily diverse performances by Tearra Banks (188 cm, 1995), BTravel WABA’s selection for MVP of the Month.
Banks averaged 26.3 points, 11.3 rebounds, 0.3 assists and 1.0 steals for a 30.3 average performance index in December, which were all team highs. She scored in double figures in each game and made 67% of her two-point shots and 77% of her free throws.
Banks becomes the second Beroe player to win the award, coming exactly one year after Monique Reid was named December 2016 MVP.
