The final rosters for the McDonald’s boys and girls All-American games were announced on Monday, Feb. 2.

Koupal, a 6-3 senior from Wagner, S.D., who is the first McDonald’s All-American in school history, claimed one of 12 spots on the West Team. Through games Jan. 30, Koupal was averaging 30.0 points and 15.5 rebounds per game for Wagner Community High School.

She was inducted into the school’s hall of fame in 2014.
