Link also gives players that made Boys' Honorable Mention by region.

 

Congrats to all these players.

Congrats to all these kids. I saw a bunch of them play throughout their basketball careers and these kids can all really play.

Who picks this? Only one kid from the 12th region gets honorable mention? That's garbage. Straight up garbage.

 

Gover and Kapinga are deserving but Justin Edwards isn't the only kid from the 13th deserving of honorable mention. Especially if all of the other regions have 3-5 kids. The 12th region isn't a bad region at all.

^ Should say 12th region, not 13th region.

They send out ballots to the coaches and the coaches vote on the top players.

The Lexington-Herald picks Willis over Dieudonne . There's no comparison. Dieudonne is by far the best this state has to offer. U K commitments always get the high rating.

 

The Courier Journal always has the better selection of players for their All State Teams.

Thanks. The 12th region coaches must not have gotten their ballots in.

Wow...at the Lex Herald team. Wow.

Couldn't believe this one either. Take nothing away from Willis but Diedonne is the better player for now. Agree the UK connection influenced this pick.

Congrats to Jake Burger & Tony Campbell from HC, Zane McQueary from Boone Co, and Parker Stansberry for being voted Honorable Mention All-State.

That is embarassing picking Willis over Diedonne, evidently they didnt watch the same two players I saw, their credibility went right out the window with me. That is a good example to join sites like Bluegrass Preps instead of buying a newspaper.

Both teams are selected by the coaches. Looks like more coaches sent theirs to the CJ than the LH.
