District 16A All-District Teams Named

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>PICTURED: [player_tooltip player_id='1352797' first='Savion' last='Anderson'] </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The <strong>16A Player of the Year</strong> is unsurprisingly <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1385937' first='Jordan' last='Allen']</strong>. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hillcrest's greatest showman, [player_tooltip player_id='1385937' first='Jordan' last='Allen'] might win Mr. Basketball at the Class A level. If scoring was the singular determining factor, then the 1A Finalists could just save the gas money as Jordan waits for trophy in the mail. The number 36.8, as in Jordan's points per game is pretty convincing. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"textAlign":"center"} --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">First Team</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1385935' first='Xavier' last='Herron'] (Hillcrest)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1385937' first='Jordan' last='Allen'] (Hillcrest)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1352797' first='Savion' last='Anderson'] (City University)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jertavion Williams (Oakhaven)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mario Morgan (Hillcrest)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"textAlign":"center"} --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">Second Team</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tyler Reliford (City University)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cohen Butler (City University)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mario Jones (Hillcrest)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Amari Spates (Oakhaven)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Carlton Hubbert (Westwood)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cam Fox (Westwood)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"textAlign":"center"} --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">Third Team</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jayvion Burrow (Oakhaven)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rodney Mitchell (Hillcrest)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2678049' first='Kevion' last='Robertson'] (City University)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nasir Davis (MSE-Winchester)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Derrick Fason (MSE-Cordova)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Zadarian Thomas (Westwood)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2678049' first='Kevion' last='Robertson']</strong>, of City University, was named Freshman of the Year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Hillcrest Head Coach Chris Adams</strong> earned Coach of the Year. Coach Adams and his Hillcrest Vikings pillaged 16A with 10 consecutive victories and not a single loss.
