MOLINE, Ill. — Here are the Illinois Associated Press Class 1A-4A All-State boys’ basketball teams as voted on by a statewide panel of newspaper sports writers/editors, TV/radio broadcasters, and internet-site editors/reporters.
Players received five points for a first-team vote and three points for a second-team vote. A five-player first team and five-player second team were selected in each class.
A player must have been named on two ballots to receive honorable mention. All selections listed in order of voting points.
There were a total of 30 voters, but not all cast a ballot in each class (29 in 1A & 2A, 26 in 3A, 22 in 4A). There were no unanimous selections (players named on every ballot).
