1000 Yard Guy’s 2020 All-State Basketball Teams

Skutt Catholic star Tyson Gordon (white/#10 shooting) swishes a free throw in the SkyHawks win over Roncalli Catholic in the Class B Final at PBA last Saturday.

Here is the finished product. Unlike football, I do not request any nomination sheets from

Basketball coaches around the state. The football nomination forms I request is not great in number anyway, but I do it to make certain I haven't missed any linemen.

Different story here, and I would have felt much more uncomfortable had I not been privileged to attend this year’s state basketball tournament. We do have some top notch prep basketball talent in this state in my opinion, and much of that talent was on display last weekend in Lincoln, thanks to the NSAA..

There is one thing I want to call to your attention and it concerns First Team Super-State, and First Team Class A All-State. I tried every way but sideways to break a tie between Omaha Central’s Latrell Wrightsell and Jay Saunders of Omaha South.

Couldn’t do it. Didn’t have the heart to put one of them on Second team. Call me a coward, but that’s the way it goes.

In Class A, I simply placed six players on First team and left Second team with four. On Super-State, I did fill the empty slot vacated by the move to accomodate a six man First team.

So, with that thought in mind, here are my 2020 Super-State, All-State Boys Basketball selections. Super-State selections will be at the end.
