Cooler weather and rain is never a good mix, unless you're a basketball fan where the indoors provide a perfect oasis from the cold or the heat. The previews continue and the basketball season is under way in the way of practices and even scrimmages, it is time to get to each class' All-State teams. Next up is 4A where last season's MVP is now in 5A so another door is left wide open like the championship race. While these schools are still big and there is talent, this class is one of the ones where a lot of the stars will find themselves on the gridiron at the next level. <h2>MVP: DeJon Jarreau; Senior PG; McDonogh 35</h2>As the guard part of a dynamic duo at 35 that will be headed to UMass, this six foot five point guard is a terror in the open court on in the pick and roll. He possesses elite level quickness with the ability to finish well above the rim which makes him a nightmare match-up at his size. UMass is getting one of the toughest players in the state to guard. He'll look to help carry McD 35 further than last year and that'll likely lend itself to the Class 4A MVP. <h2>First Team</h2>DeJon Jarreau; Senior PG; McDonogh 35 John Norvel; Senior PG; Salmen Tae Martin; Junior G; Ellender Raekwon Bush; Senior F; Edna Karr Brison Gresham; Senior F/C; McDonogh 35 <h2>Second Team</h2>Caleb Hebert; Senior G; Tioga Tyree Thompson; Senior G; Edna Karr Quentin Scott; Senior G/F; Ellender Cole Kelley; Senior F/C; Teurlings Catholic Javonte Washington; Senior F/C; St. Martinville <h2>Third Team</h2>Brandon Ellis; Senior PG; Northside Vincent Phillips; Senior G; Edna Karr Michael Alfred; Senior G; St. Michael's Christian Edwards; Junior G/F; Washington-Marion Trevor Carrere; Senior F; Salmen
