After breaking the school records for 3-pointers in a game and in a season as a junior and helping Parkway to its first Midwest Athletic Conference title, Williamson had to take on a larger role for the Panthers this year after three key seniors graduated, and she delivered.
Stepping up as the Panthers' main offensive threat, Williamson raised her scoring average by nearly four points per game, recording 15 double-digit games, and she led Parkway to a 17-7 record and its second district tournament berth in the last 30 years.
She also further honed her outside shooting, improving her 3-point shooting percentage nearly seven points and resetting her own single-game (nine, against Delphos St. John's) and season (77) 3-point records while passing Gabrielle Stober to set a new Panthers career mark (232).
Williamson, who will play at Division III Anderson University next year, was recognized with first-team All-MAC and second-team All-District honors after the season.
