<p>With so many players being named all-state in this classification, I had to separate the list into two articles. Here are the remaining 29 all-state players.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Ethan Kelley </strong>(Wonderview 2025 6'1" G/F)- Kelley has had some incredible performances this season. He scored 30 points against Nemo Vista in January, snagging 15 rebounds, logging 3 assists, and recording 4 steals as well. A little more than a week later, he recorded another double-double of 17 points and 15 rebounds versus Sacred Heart. In late February, Kelley logged 23 points against Marvell-Elaine.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/cayleb-stobaugh/"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2395375' first='Cayleb' last='Stobaugh']</strong></a>- This sophomore exploded onto the scene this season, torching defenses and racking up the accolades. Stobaugh made himself known to Midland after a 29-point outburst in January. Just a few days later against Sacred Heart, he had one of his better defensive performances of the season, recording 5 steals in addition to his 14 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Rowdy Warren </strong>(Wonderview 2025 5'10" G)- Warren is highly accomplished in his athletic career, being a multi-sport athlete and already having an all-conference nod under his belt. Now he can add all-state to his trophy room. Warren is best known as a hounding on-ball defender. He had one of his better defensive performances in January where he had 4 steals. He also had 15 points and 7 assists in that game.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Javahn McCann</strong> (Bradford 2025 5'9" G)- McCann is a walking 30+ bomb. He can go for big games at a moment's notice, usually finding his rhythm from beyond the arch first. In the playoffs, McCann exploded for 34 pints, with 30 of those points coming from the 3-point line.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Micah Dunn</strong> (Bradford 2026 6'0" G/F)- Bradford had a 10-2 conference record this season and made it to the 1A playoffs. McCann had a hand in that but so did Micah Dunn. One of his better postseason performances was against Brinkley where he had 13 points and 10 rebounds, impacting the game on both ends of the floor.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/xander-osborn/">[player_tooltip player_id='2767280' first='Xander' last='Osborn']</a></strong>- Osborn was a solid contributor to this Sacred Heart team that has a bright future. Against Shirley in early February, the junior had a major outburst with 29 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, and 1 block.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Jude Condray</strong> (Nemo Vista 2025 6'1" F/G)- Condray is a solid all-around player who is essentially positionless. In addition to becoming an all-state performer, he was named to the 501Life basketball team, which recognizes notable student-athletes all across the state.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Kavion Coleman</strong> (Nevada 2025 6'0" G/F)- Coleman emerged as one of the top players in the 1A classification during the season. He became a team leader and had impressive performances in the regular season and the playoffs. He was recognized as the SWARK.Today Player of the Week for February 16th after posting 30 points, 12 rebounds, and 8 made 3-pointers versus Genoa Central and 16 points against Blevins. In the first round of the state tournament, Coleman scored 25 points, knocking down 5 3-pointers.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Keyonte Wingfield</strong> (Nevada 2026 5'7" G)- Coleman was the senior leader of this team this season, but now it will be Wingfield's turn in 2025/26. He has already put together some solid performances, including his 18 points against Blevins and 20 points against Kirby. Both outings got him recognized as the SWARK.Today Player of the Week for February 6th. He also had 14 points on 4 made threes against Mulberry in the first round of the state playoffs. 3 of those triples came in the 1st half.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Xavier Bazzelle</strong> (Blevins 2026 G)- This junior guard is already well over 1,000 points in his career, as he currently sits with 1,192. This season, he averaged 17.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 7.5 assists per game.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Charles Hatchett</strong> (Blevins 2025 6'6" F/C)- Hatchett is one of the best bigs in the 1A classification, along with one of the tallest players at this level. He has come a long way in his career with Blevins as he was playing on their junior varsity squad in 2022, averaging 12 points, 8 rebounds, 1 steal, and 5 blocks per game. The defense was always going to transition easily for him, but his offense came along later. In the postseason against Jasper, he went for 33 points.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>De Page</strong> (Blevins)- Page was instrumental in Blevins' great season, which included a 22-6 overall record. He was named the SWARK.Today Player of the Week for November 5th after combining for 29 points in performances against Bradley and Legacy Academy.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Gavyn Young</strong> (Kirby 2027 5'9" PG)- Young is known mostly as a pass-first type of player, which is fitting for him considering he is Kirby's team captain. This also portrays his leadership, as becoming a team captain as just a sophomore is extremely difficult to do.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Mason Lindsey</strong> (Kirby 2026 G)- Kirby was a top 10 team in the 1A classification according to Sports Illustrated. Mason Lindsey's play throughout the season helped Kirby achieve that ranking.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/zakyus-smith/">[player_tooltip player_id='2400073' first='Zakyus' last='Smith']</a></strong>- After starring for Camden Harmony Grove in the 3A classification, Smith made the move down to 1A where he immediately became a star for Columbia Christian. He averaged around 26.7 points per game and had 21 points and 18 points against County Line and Earle respectively in the playoffs. Though he had an offer to play basketball for SAU Tech, he ultimately chose to play golf at Iowa Lakes Community College.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>C.J. Page</strong> (Columbia Christian 2025 G)- This sharpshooter helped Columbia Christian compile a 25-6 overall record. He also contributed to his team's deep postseason run.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/ty-palermo/"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2790410' first='Ty' last='Palermo']</strong></a>- Palermo averaged 16.4 points, 11.8 rebounds, 0.7 steals, and 1.9 blocks per game during the regular season. He also shot 55% from the field and was one of the state's best offensive rebounders, grabbing 6.3 second-chance boards a game.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Jaylon Calton</strong> (Lafayette County 2025 G)- Calton had an impressive stat-stuffing senior season. He averaged 14.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 3.2 steals per game. 1.4 of his nightly rebounds came on the offensive end.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Markevius Jimerson</strong> (Bearden 2026 G)- Jimerson was one of Bearden's best offensive players this season. He proved that in late January after putting 25 points on Strong.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Jacob Vandenberg</strong> (Taylor 2026 6'3" G)- Taylor basketball is on the rise thanks to players like Vandenberg. The junior had one of the better scoring outings in his conference this season when he scored 36 points against Emerson in December.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Peyton Ferguson</strong> (Emerson 2027 6'0" G)- Ferguson was playing out of his mind on November 6th. He had one of the better scoring outings this year for any player out of 1A after logging 43 points against Stephens Christian.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Carter Wilkerson</strong> (Hermitage 2025 6'5" F/G)- Wilkerson reached 1,000 career points on January 7th after scoring 32 points against Emerson. He quickly got to that point after an amazing non-conference season as he was averaging 20.1 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 4.7 blocks per game mid-way through December. He also had 3 30+ scoring games and 1 triple-double during that period. He also broke the state record for most blocks in a career. The previous record was 295 and he shattered it with 328 blocks.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/christian-williams-6/"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2418873' first='Christian' last='Williams']</strong></a>- It is safe to say that Williams has become one of Brinkley's all-time greats, along with his other junior teammate who I will mention in a second. This guard is one of the best juniors in the state, especially after multiple 30-point outings this season. He had 30 points against Marvell-Elaine in January and just about 4 days later, he had another 30 points against some other unfortunate opponent. He added 7 rebounds, 8 assists, and 6 steals in that performance.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>M.J. Harris</strong> (Brinkley 2026 6'2" F)- Harris is one of the toughest players to stop when he has it going. Like Williams, he is a Brinkley legend who still has one more season with this promising 1A squad. He had 33 points against Marvell-Elaine in January, which was a career-high. In the playoffs against Ridgefield Christian, Harris scored 26 points.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Lucas Figures</strong> (Dermott 2026 6'1" PG)- Dermott had a great season, with Figures being a major part of that. He had 32 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals against Monticello in January. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Manley Carter</strong> (Dermott 2027 6'3" F)- Carter is one of the longer players in Dermott's conference. That length came in handy on both ends of the floor during Dermott's 21-4 regular season.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Ky-Mani Fluker</strong> (Clarendon 2025 6'0" G)- Clarendon was the #7 team in 1A according to Sports Illustrated. Fluker led this team to a 17-7 overall record, showing out in the postseason. He had 15 points against a good Crowley's Ridge Academy team.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Dimitrus Thompson</strong> (Marvell-Elaine 2025)- Thompson had some solid all-around games this season. He had 12 points, 9 rebounds, and 2 assists against Wonderview in late February and 17 points against Earle in the state playoffs.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Terry Bledsoe</strong> (Marvell-Elaine 2025 6'2" G)- Thompson was not the only player on this team who helped out in the postseason. He had 17 points, 9 rebounds, and 3 assists in that same game against Wonderview. Bledsoe later had 13 points against Earle in the postseason.</p>

<p>As you can see, there were a ton of deserving all-state performers in the 1A classification. Chances are, there were still deserving players left off this list (any complaints can be directed towards the Arkansas Activities Association). I will have more breakdowns of each classification's all-state performers soon, so be on the lookout.</p>

With so many players being named all-state in this classification, I had to separate the list into two articles. Here are the remaining 29 all-state players.
