Go ahead and just call Jonna a “legend”. The Atlantic Coast Conference named Burke this year to its 12th annual class of ACC Women’s Basketball Legends. Burke received the honor based on her outstanding play at the University of Pittsburgh. But Burke also was a star at Bethel Park High School. Burke was a two-time selection to the prestigious Post-Gazette Fabulous 5. She had more than 1,000 points by the time she was a junior. She averaged 24 points and 11 rebounds as a junior and 21 points and 10 rebounds as a senior. At Pitt, she was the Big East Conference Rookie of the Year in 1991 and was first-team all-conference in 1993 and ’94. She scored 1,807 career points at Pitt and had 954 rebounds. When she graduated, she was in the school’s top 10 in scoring, rebounding, steals and assists. After her playing days, she eventually became the head coach at Bethel Park and she has established the Black Hawks as one of the WPIAL’s best programs. Burke won a WPIAL championship as a coach in 2013.
