1000 Yard Guy's 2011/2012 All-State Basketball Teams
They say high school basketball talent in Nebraska was down this season, but I saw some pretty nice players along the way. No, there wasn't a over abundance of Division One prospects wondering the hardwoods but there were enough good players to make it tons of fun to watch. Nothing like high school sports in Nebraska, right? Absolutely!
This year, I have chosen a first team with 5 players as usual. In many instances, it it easy to find 5 qualified athletes to formulate a 2nd team all-state, but there are some classes you have a difficult filling those 5 slots. On other occasions, you have to add one or more positions to give all deserving players a spot.
In addition, we will hand out some extra awards in each class and they are as follows:
The "I Make You Look Good Award" for assists
The "Chairman of the Board Award" for rebounding".
The "Theft by Deception Award" for steals.
The"Sultan of Swat Award" for blocked shots.
The "Long Distance Award" for beyond the arc specialists.
Without further hesitation, here are my teams:
