<p>Last, but definitely not least, is the 1A All Tournament Team. This classification has some really talented scorers that are often not covered by the media. Bradford cruised to a state championship, winning by a margin of 18 in the semifinal and 20 in the final. Let’s check out who made the final All Tournament team...</p>
<p><strong>First Team:</strong></p>
<p>G- [player_tooltip player_id="829391" first="Latrell" last="Sanders"], 6’0", Sr. - Sanders scored a 1A tournament high 20 points in the semifinal game along with 7 rebounds. He played every single second of the semifinal and hustled for 2 steals as well. Sanders had another great performance in the final with 14 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 steals. </p>
<p>G- Jontez Williams, 6’1", Sr. - Jontez is a glue guy for Bradford. He might not light up the stat sheet every game, but his impact is surely felt. Williams scored 4 points with 6 rebounds in the semifinal, and followed it up with a masterful 13 point performance in the state championship. He is definitely a huge reason why Bradford was able to take home the title. Williams is committed to play football at Iowa State.</p>
<p>G- Kaleb Wilson, 6’0", Sr. - Wilson played his heart out for the Malone Tigers in their 2 point semifinal loss. The senior guard scored a team high 16 points with 7 rebounds and 2 blocks. Wilson is a phenomenal scorer and can rebound the ball extremely well. </p>
<p>F- Shayne Davis, 6’1", Jr. - Davis was incredible in Lakeland. The junior scored 17 with 7 boards to lead Bradford past Hawthorne in the semifinal. He was just as good in the final, scoring 17 again and dishing out a team high 5 assists to secure the state championship. Davis should have another nice season next year for his senior year.</p>
<p>F- Kenyon Simmons, 6’2", Jr. - Simmons is a great player who will have a monster year for Paxton next year. He shot 5-11 from the field for 11 points and 5 rebounds in the semifinal. He then shot 5-6 for 11 points and 3 rebounds with 2 steals. Watch out for Kenyon in next years final four.</p>
<p><strong>Honorable Mention:</strong></p>
<p>G/F- Amari Jones, 6’4", Sr. - Jones is one of the tallest players for Bradford and he knows how to use his height to his advantage. He had 8 points, 4 boards, and 3 assists in the semi. Jones also nearly had a double-double in the championship, finishing with 9 points and 7 rebounds.</p>
<p>G- Collin Stewart, 6’0", So. - Stewart had 6 points in the semifinal game and exploded in the final with a 1A tournament high 12 rebounds. Amazingly, 8 of the 12 were offensive rebounds, giving Paxton another possession. </p>
<p>G- Kage Wibbing, 6’0", Sr. - Wibbing had 12 points in the final against Bradford, capping off a great senior year.</p>
